A  PERSONAL  WORD  WITH  MY  READER 

Christian  Unity  in  Effort — Something  about  the  religious  Faiths, 
Creeds  and  Deeds  of  People  of  the  United  States  and  elsewhere  was 
published  in  1910  and  records  the  author's  thoughts,  experiences  and 
hopes  in  relation  to  its  subject,  together  with  interesting  data  in 
condensed  form  respecting  the  faiths,  histories  and  forms  of  govern- 
ment of  the  important  religious  organizations. 

The  Holy  Gospel — Protestant  and  Roman  Catholic  Versions^  Com- 
pared followed  in  191 1. 

This  present  volume.  The  Acts,  Epistles  and  Revelation — Protestant 
and  Roman  Catholic  Versions  Compared,  completing  the  New  Testa- 
ment text,  will  be  published  in  1912. 

These  three  volumes  will  constitute  my  contribution  to  the  recorded 
Christian  effort  of  my  generation,  a  generation  that  is  rapidly  passing 
away.  My  earnest  desire  is  that  these  New  Testament  comparisons 
shall,  in  some  small  degree  at  least,  contribute  to  encourage  interest 
in  an  effort  to  replace  the  four  English  versions  by  one  Holy  Bible 
of  an  authority  that  will  be  recognized  by  all  Christians.  We  all 
believe  in  one  and  the  same  God.  We  should  all  be  able  to  agree 
upon  the  English  text  of  one  and  the  same  Holy  Bible.  It  is  probable 
that  individuals  and  organized  Christian  bodies  will  long  continue  to 
differ  as  to  the  meaning  and  purport  of  certain  of  the  Bil^le  language, 
but  it  will  be  a  great  advance  in  the  Christian  standards  when  all  who 
profess  and  call  themselves  Christians  rest  their  faith  upon  one  God 
and  one  Holy  Bible.  I  suggest  that  this  one  standard  Holy  Bible  of 
authority  might  be  established  and  maintained  through  the  agency  of 
a  permanent  company  to  be  composed  of  learned  and  godly  men 
chosen  to  represent  each  of  the  important  organized  bodies  of  English- 
speaking  Christians;  a  smaller  executive  committee  chosen  from  the 
company  to  devote  its  whole  time  to  the  study  of  the  Bible  and  of 
all  documentary  and  other  evidence  bearing  upon  it,  old  and  new, 
making  recommendations  through  and  with  the  approval  of  the 
permanent  company  to  the  different  Christian  organizations  from  time 
to  time  for  their  consideration  and  definite  action.  Such  a  method 
could  be  so  elaborated  as  to  protect  the  sacred  deposit  we  call  the 
Bible  from  unwarranted  change  and  at  the  same  time  to  insure  its 
English  language  expressing  the  meaning  and  intent  of  the  original 
text,  as  currently  determined  by  the  best  modern  scholarship  reverently 
applied  to  the  latest  knowledge  and  methods  of  investigation. 

The  New  Testament  comparison  is  not  intended  to  be  a  mere  work  of 
reference.  It  is  for  general  reading.  If  you  will  carefully  read  its 
Authorized  Version  of  the  Holy  Gospel  and,  as  you  come  to  lines  or 


A  PERSONAL  WORD  WITH  MY  READER       9 

verses  of  special  interest  to  you,  run  your  eye  across  the  pages,  you 
will  see  at  a  glance  the  exact  differences,  if  any,  that  exist  between 
the  several  versions.  Many  of  these  differences  will  appear  to  you 
to  be  of  little  practical  importance.  Some  will  strike  you  as  of  greater 
interest.  Not  one  of  them  will  be  at  all  likely  to  disturb  your  well- 
grounded  faith  in  the  gospel  story  and  in  all  that  it  means  as  a  govern- 
ing influence  in  your  life  here  and  hereafter.  After  having  carefully 
read  the  Authorized  Version  and  made  the  comparisons  suggested,  then 
similarly  read  and  compare  the  Douay  Version.  Follow  in  like  manner 
with  the  Revised  and  the  Standard  Versions.  When  you  have  thus 
thoughtfully  read  and  compared  the  four  versions  you  will  find  a  new 
interest  in  their  old,  old  story;  new  beauties  will  have  been  revealed 
to  you ;  new  meanings  will  attach  to  old,  familiar  words  and  phrases ; 
new  and  enduring  vitality  will  have  entered  into  your  Christian  faith. 
In  arranging  the  four  versions,  those  of  three  hundred  years  ago, 
Protestant  and  Roman  Catholic,  have  been  placed  at  the  extreme  left 
and  right  respectively.  Between  them,  not  separating  but  rather  bind- 
ing them  together,  are  the  modern  Revised  and  Standard  versions. 
The  old  versions  came  at  a  period  of  bitter  religious  antagonisms  and 
they  represent  in  some  degree  the  prejudices  and  animosities  of  their 
day.  There  was  then  little  evidence  of  any  feeling  of  Christian 
brotherly  love  between  the  respective  schools  of  religious  belief.  It  is 
a  fact,  nevertheless,  that  those  to  whom  we  owe  the  old  versions  were 
constrained  by  a  power  greater  than  their  own  to  record  the  gospel 
story  in  language  that  could  not  mar  its  beauty  or  its  influence  upon 
the  lives  of  its  readers.  The  Revised  and  Standard  versions  came  to 
us  when  time  had  softened  many  of  the  old  animosities  and  biblical 
scholars  were  better  able  to  labor  without  preference  or  prejudice  to 
determine  the  best  rendering  in  English  of  the  original  text.  The 
result  is  that  we  find  the  modern  versions  sometimes  in  accord  with 
the  language  of  the  Authorized  and  sometimes  with  that  of  the  Douay, 
leading  us  to  hope  that  each  of  the  old  versions  may  be  amended  by 
authority,  each  adopting  what  is  best  in  the  other.  In  referring  to  the 
versions  as  Protestant  and  Roman  Catholic  respectively,  my  only 
thought  has  been  to  recognize  the  popular  division  of  Christian  be- 
lievers into  these  two  great  bodies  as  made  by  themselves  and  re- 
corded in  the  United  States  census  returns.  I  am  aware  that  there 
are  CathoHcs  who  are  not  to  be  included  under  the  Roman  Catholic 
heading,  and  other  Christians  who  do  not  call  themselves  Protestants. 
My  division,  for  the  purposes  of  this  book,  is  practical  and  in  no  sense 
theological.

CHAPTER  I. 

THE  former  treatise  have  I  made,   O 
Theophilus,  of  aU  that  Jesus  began 
both  to  do  and  teach, 

•  2  Until  the  day  in  which  he  was  taken 
up,  after  that  he  through  the  Holy  Ghost 
had  given  commandments  unto  the 
apostles  whom  he  had  chosen  : 

3  To  whom  also  he  shewed  himself 
alive  after  his  passion  by  many  infallible 
proofs,  being  seen  of  them  forty  days,  and 
speaking  of  the  things  pertaining  to  the 
kingdom  of  Gad : 

4  And,  being  assembled  together  with 
them,  commanded  them  that  they  should 
not  depart  from  Jerusalem,  but  wait  for 
the  promise  of  the  Father,  which,  saith 
he,  ye  have  heard  of  me. 

5  For  John  truly  baptized  with  water; 
but  ye  shall  be  baptized  with  the  Holy 
Ghost  not  many  days  hence. 

6  When  they  therefore  were  come  to- 
gether, they  asked  of  him,  saying,  Lord, 
wilt  thou  at  this  time  restore  again  the 
kingdom  to  Israel? 

7  And  he  said  unto  them,  It  is  not 
for  you  to  know  the  times  or  the  sea- 
sons, which  the  Father  hath  put  in  his 
own  power. 

8  But  ye  shall  receive  power,  after  that 
the  Holy  Ghost  is  come  upon  you :  and 
ye  shall  be  witnesses  unto  me  both  in 
Jerusalem,  and  in  all  Judaea,  and  in 
Samaria,  and  unto  the  uttermost  part  of 
the  earth. 

9  And  when  he  had  spoken  these  things, 
while  they  beheld,  he  was  taken  up; 
and  a  cloud  received  him  out  of "  their 
sight. 

ID  And  while  they  looked  stedfastly 
toward  heaven  as  he  went  up,  behold,  two 
men  stood  by  them  in  white  apparel ; 

11  Which  also  said.  Ye  men  of  Galilee, 
why  stand  ye  gazing  up  into  heaven?  this 
same  Jesus,  which  is  taken  up  from  you 
into  heaven,  shall  so  come  in  like 
manner  as  ye  have  seen  him  go  into 
heaven. 

12  Then  returned  they  unto  Jerusalem

CHAPTER  I. 

THE  former  treatise  I  made,  O  The- 
ophilus,   of    all    things    which    Jesus 
began  to  do  and  to  teach, 

2  Until  the  day  on  which,  giving  com- 
mandments by  the  Holy  Ghost  to  the 
apostles  whom  he  had  chosen,  he  was 
taken  up. 

3  To  whom  also  he  shewed  himself 
alive  after  his  passion,  by  many  proofs, 
for  forty  days  appearing  to  them,  and 
speaking  of  the  kingdom  of  God. 

4  And  eating  together  with  them,  he 
commanded  them,  that  they  should  not 
depart  from  Jerusalem,  but  should  wait 
for  the  promise  of  the  Father,  which 
you  have  heard  (saith  he)  by  my 
mouth, 

5  For  John  indeed  baptized  with  water, 
but  you  shall  be  baptized  with  the  Holy 
Ghost,  not  many  days  hence. 

6  They  therefore  who  were  come  to- 
gether, asked  him,  saying :  Lord,  wilt 
thou  at  this  time  restore  again  the  king- 
dom to  Israel? 

7  But  he  said  to  them:  It  is  not  for 
you  to  know  the  times  or  moments, 
which  the  Father  hath  put  in  his  own 
power: 

8  But  you  shall  receive  the  power  of 
the  Holy  Ghost  coming  upon  you,  and 
you  shall  be  witnesses  unto  me  in  Jeru- 
salem, and  in  all  Judea,  and  Samaria, 
and  even  to  the  uttermost  part  of  the 
earth. 

9  And  when  he  had  said  these  things, 
while  they  looked  on,  he  was  raised  up : 
and  a  cloud  received  him  out  of  their 
sight. 

10  And  while  they  were  beholding  him 
going  up  to  heaven,  behold  two  men 
stood  by  them  in  white  garments.

why  stand  you  looking  up  to  heaven? 
This  Jesus  who  is  taken  up  from  you 
into  heaven,  shall  so  come,  as  you  have 
seen  him  going  into  heaven, 

12  Then  they  returned  to  Jerusalem 
from    the    mount    that    is    called    Olivet,

REVISED 


from  the  mount  called  Olivet,  which  is 
from  Jerusalem  a  sabbath  day's  jour- 
ney. 

13  And  when  they  were  come  in,  they 
went  up  into  an  upper  room,  where  abode 
both  Peter,  and  James,  and  John,  and 
Andrew,  Philip,  and  Thomas,  Bartholo- 
mew, and  Matthew,  James  the  son  of 
Alphaeus,  and  Simon  Zelotes,  and  Judas 
the  brother  of  James. 

14  These  all  continued  with  one  accord 
in  prayer  and  supplication,  with  the 
women,  and  Mary  the  mother  of  Jesus, 
and  with  his  brethren. 

15  And  in  those  days  Peter  stood  up 
in  the  midst  of  the  disciples,  and  said, 
(the  number  of  names  together  were 
about  an  hundred  and  twenty,) 

16  Men  and  brethren,  this  scripture 
must  needs  have  been  fulfilled,  which  the 
Holy  Ghost  by  the  mouth  of  David  spake 
before  concerning  Judas,  which  was 
guide  to  them  that  took  Jesus. 

17  For  he  was  numbered  with  us,  and 
had  obtained  part  of  this  ministry. 

18  Now  this  man  purchased  a  field 
with  the  reward  of  iniquity;  and  falling 
headlong,  he  burst  asunder  in  the  midst, 
and  all  his  bowels  gushed  out. 

19  And  it  was  known  unto  all  the 
dwellers  at  Jerusalem ;  insomuch  as  that 
field  is  called  in  their  proper  tongue, 
Aceldama,  that  is  to  say,  The  field  of 
blood. 

20  For  it  is  written  in  the  book  of 
Psalms,  Let  his  habitation  be  desolate, 
and  let  no  man  dwell  therein :  and  his 
bishoprick  let  another  take. 

21  Wherefore  of  these  men  which  have 
companied  with  us  all  the  time  that  the 
Lord  Jesus  went  in  and  out  among 
us. 

22  Beginning  from  the  baptism  of  John, 
unto  that  same  day  that  he  was  taken 
up  from  us,  must  one  be  ordained  to  be 
a  witness  with  us  of  his  resurrection. 

23  And  they  appointed  two,  Joseph 
called  Barsabas,  who  was  surnamed 
Justus,  and  Matthias. 

24  And  they  prayed,  and  said,  Thou, 
Lord,  which  knowest  the  hearts  of  all 
men,  shew  whether  of  these  two  thou 
hast  chosen, 

25  That  he  may  take  part  of  this  min- 
istry and  apostleship,  from  which  Judas 
by  transgression  fell,  that  he  might  go 
to  his  own  place. 

26  And    they    gave    forth    their    lots; 


which  is  nigh  unto  Jerusalem,  a  sab- 
bath day's  journey  off.  13  And 
when  they  were  come  in,  they  went 
up  into  the  upper  chamber,  where 
they  were  abiding;  both  Peter  and 
John  and  James  and  Andrew, 
Philip  and  Thomas,  Bartholomew 
and  Matthew,  James  the  son  of 
Alphaeus,  and  Simon  the  Zealot, 
and  Judas  the  son  of  James.  14 
These  all  with  one  accord  con- 
tinued stedfastly  in  prayer,  with 
the  women,  and  Mary  the  mother 
of  Jesus,  and  with  his  brethren. 

15  And  in  these  days  Peter  stood 
up  in  the  midst  of  the  brethren, 
and  said  (and  there  was  a  multi- 
tude of  persons  gathered  together, 
about  a  hundred  and  twenty),  16 
Brethren,  it  was  needful  that  the 
scripture  should  be  fulfilled,  which 
the  Holy  Ghost  spake  before  by  the 
mouth  of  David  concerning  Judas, 
who  was  guide  to  them  that  took 
Jesus.  17  For  he  was  numbered 
among  us,  and  received  his  portion 
in  this  ministry.  18  (Now  this  man 
obtained  a  field  with  the  reward 
of  his  iniquity;  and  falling  head- 
long, he  burst  asunder  in  the  midst, 
and  all  his  bowels  gushed  out. 
19  And  it  became  known  to  all  the 
dwellers  at  Jerusalem ;  insomuch 
that  in  their  language  that  field  was 
called  Akeldama,  that  is.  The  field 
of  blood.)  20  For  it  is  written  in 
the  book  of  Psalms, 

Let  his  habitation  be  made  des- 
olate, 

And  let  no  man  dwell  therein: 
and. 

His  office  let  another  take. 
21  Of  the  men  therefore  which  have 
companied  with  us  all  the  time  that 
the  Lord  Jesus  went  in  and  went 
out  among  us,  22  beginning  from 
the  baptism  of  John,  unto  the  day 
that  he  was  received  up  from  us, 
of  these  must  one  become  a  wit- 
ness with  us  of  his  resurrection. 
23  And  they  put  forward  two,  Jo- 
seph called  Barsabbas,  who  was 
surnamed  Justus,  and  Matthias.  24 
And  they  prayed,  and  said.  Thou, 
Lord,  which  knowest  the  hearts 
of  all  men,  shew  of  these  two  the 
one  whom  thou  hast  chosen,  25  to 
take  the  place  in  this  ministry  and 
apostleship,   from  which  Judas  fell

salem  from  the  mount  called  Olivet, 
which  is  nigh  unto  Jerusalem,  a 
sabbath  day's  journey  off.  13  And 
when  they  were  come  in,  they  went 
up  into  the  upper  chamber,  where 
they  were  abiding;  both  Peter  and 
Jphn  and  James  and  Andrew, 
Philip  and  Thomas,  Bartholomew 
and  Matthew,  James  the  son  of 
Alphseus,  and  Simon  the  Zealot, 
and  Judas  the  son  of  James.  14 
These  all  with  one  accord  continued 
stedfastly  in  prayer,  with  the 
women,  and  Mary  the  mother  of 
Jesus,  and  with  his  brethren. 

15  And  in  these  days  Peter  stood 
up  in  the  midst  of  the  brethren, 
and  said  (and  there  was  a  multi- 
tude of  persons  gathered  together,

the  Holy  Spirit  spake  before  by

Judas,  who  was  guide  to  them  that

bered among  us,  and  received  his 
portion  in  this  ministry.  18  (Now 
this  man  obtained  a  field  with  the 
reward  of  his  iniquity ;  and  falling 
headlong,  he  burst  asunder  in  the 
midst,  and  all  his  bowels  gushed 
out.  19  And  it  became  known  to 
all  the  dwellers  at  Jerusalem ;  inso- 
much that  in  their  language  that 
field  was  called  Akeldama,  that  is. 
The.  field  of  blood.)  20  For  it  is 
written  in  the  book  of  Psalms, 

Let    his    habitation    be    made 
desolate, 

And  let  no  man  dwell  therein: 
and. 

His  office  let  another  take. 
21  Of  the  men  therefore  that  have 
companied  with  us  all  the  time  that 
the  Lord  Jesus  went  in  and  went 
out  among  us,  22  beginning  from 
the  baptism  of  John,  unto  the  day 
that  he  was  received  up  from  us, 
of  these  must  one  become  a  wit- 
ness  with   us   of   his   resurrection. 

23  And  they  put  forward  two, 
Joseph  called  Barsabbas,  who  was 
surnamed     Justus,     and     Matthias. 

24  And  they  prayed,  and  said, 
Thou,  Lord,  who  knowest  the 
hearts  of  all  men,  show  of  these 
two  the  one  whom  thou  hast 
chosen,    25    to    take    the    place    in 


which   is   nigh  Jerusalem,   within   a  sab- 
bath day's  journey. 

13  And  when  they  were  come  in,  they 
went  up  into  an  upper  room,  where  abode 
Peter  and  John,  James  and  Andrew, 
Philip  and  Thomas,  Bartholomew  and 
Matthew,  James  of  Alpheus,  and  Si- 
mon Zelotes,  and  Jude  the  brother  of 
James. 

14  All  these  were  persevering  with  one 
mind  in  prayer  with  the  women,  and 
Mary  the  mother  of  Jesus,  and  with  his 
brethren. 

15  In  those  days  Peter  rising  up  in  the 
midst  of  the  brethren,  said:  (now  the 
number  of  persons  together  was  about 
an  hundred  and  twenty:) 

16  Men,  brethren,  the  scripture  must 
needs  be  fulfilled,  which  the  Holy  Ghost 
spoke  before  by  the  mouth  of  David  con- 
cerning Judas,  who  was  the  leader  of 
them  that  apprehended  Jesus: 

17  Who  was  numbered  with  us,  and 
had  obtained  part  of  this  ministry. 

18  And  he  indeed  hath  possessed  a  field 
of  the  reward  of  iniquity,  and  being 
hanged,  burst  asunder  in  the  midst :  and 
all  his  bowels  gushed  out. 

19  And  it  became  known  to  all  the  in- 
habitants of  Jerusalem :  so  that  the  same 
field  was  called  in  their  tongue,  Hacel- 
dama,  that  is  to  say.  The  field  of 
blood. 

20  For  it  is  written  in  the  book  of 
Psalms :  Let  their  habitation  become  deso- 
late, and  let  there  be  none  to  dwell 
therein.  And  his  bishopric  let  another 
take. 

21  Wherefore  of  these  men  who  have 
companied  with  us  all  the  time  that  the 
Lord  Jesus  came  in  and  went  out  among 
us, 

22  Beginning  from  the  baptism  of  John, 
until  the  day  wherein  he  was  taken  up 
from  us,  one  of  these  must  be  made  a 
witness  with  us  of  his  resurrection. 

23  And  they  appointed  two,  Joseph, 
called  Barsabas,  who  was  surnamed 
Justus,  and  Matthias. 

24  And  praying,  they  said :  Thou,  Lord, 
who  knowest  the  hearts  of  all  men, 
shew  whether  of  these  two  thou  hast 
chosen, 

25  To  take  the  place  of  this  ministry 
and  apostleship,  from  which  Judas  hath 
by  transgression  fallen,  that  he  might  go 
to  his  own  place. 

26  And  they  gave  them  lots,  and  the

and  the  lot  fell  upon  Matthias;  and  he 
was  numbered  with  the  eleven  apostles. 


CHAPTER  2.     • 

AND  when  the  day  of  Pentecost  was 
fully  come,  they  were  all  with  one 
accord  in  one  place. 

2  And  suddenly  there  came  a  sound 
from  heaven  as  of  a  rushing  mighty  wind, 
and  it  filled  all  the  house  where  they 
were  sitting. 

3  And  there  appeared  unto  them  cloven 
tongues  like  as  of  fire,  and  it  sat  upon 
each  of  them. 

4  And  they  were  all  filled  with  the  Holy 
Ghost,  and  began  to  speak  with  other 
tongues,  as  the  Spirit  gave  them  utter- 
ance. 

5  And  there  were  dwelling  at  Jerusa- 
lem Jews,  devout  men,  out  of  every  na- 
tion  under  heaven. 

6  Now  when  this  was  noised  abroad, 
the  multitude  came  together,  and  were 
confounded,  because  that  every  man 
heard  them  speak  in  his  own  language. 

7  And  they  were  all  amazed  and  mar- 
velled, saying  one  to  another,  Behold,  are 
not  all  these  which  speak  Galiloeans? 

8  And  how  hear  we  every  man  in  our 
own  tongue,  wherein  we  were  born? 

9  Parthians,  and  Medes,  and  Elam- 
ites,  and  the  dwellers  in  Mesopotamia, 
and  in  Judaea,  and  Cappadocia,  in  Pon- 
tus,  and  Asia, 

10  Phrygia,  and  Pamphylia,  in  Egypt, 
and  in  the  parts  of  Libya  about  Cyrene, 
and  strangers  of  Rome,  Jews  and  prose- 
lytes, 

11  Cretes  and  Arabians,  we  do  hear 
them  speak  in  our  tongues  the  wonderful 
works  of  God. 

12  And  they  were  all  amazed,  and  were 
in  doubt,  saying  one  to  another.  What 
meaneth  this? 

13  Others  mocking  said.  These  men 
are  full  of  new  wine. 

14  But  Peter,  standing  up  with  the 
eleven,  lifted  up  his  voice,  and  said  unto 
them,  Ye  men  of  Judaea,  and  all  ye  that 
dwell  at  Jerusalem,  be  this  known  unto 
you,  and  hearken  to  my  words: 

15  For  these  are  not  drunken,  as  ye 
suppose,  seeing  it  is  hut  the  third  hour 
of  the  day. 

16  But  this  is  that  which  was  spoken 
by  the  prophet  Joel; 


away,  that  he  might  go  to  his  own 
place.  26  And  they  gave  lots  for 
them ;  and  the  lot  fell  upon  Mat- 
thias ;  and  he  was  numbered  with 
the  eleven  apostles. 


A  ND  when  the  day  of  Pente- 
^-LA.  cost  was  now  come,  they 
were    all    together    in    one    place. 

2  And  suddenly  there  came  from 
heaven  a  sound  as  of  the  rushing 
of  a  mighty  wind,  and  it  filled  all 
the  house  where  they  were  sitting. 

3  And  there  appeared  unto  them 
tongues  parting  asunder,  like  as 
of  fire ;  and  it  sat  upon  each  one  of 
them.  4  And  they  were  all  filled 
with  the  Holy  Spirit,  and  began  to 
speak  with  other  tongues,  as  the 
Spirit  gave  them  utterance. 

5  Now  there  were  dwelling  at  Je- 
rusalem Jews,  devout  men,  from

hold, are  not  all  these  which  speak 
Galilaeans?  8  And  how  hear  we, 
every  man  in  our  own  language, 
wherein  we  were  born?  9  Parthi- 
ans and  Medes  and  Elamites,  and 
the  dwellers  in  Mesopotamia,  in 
Judaea  and  Cappadocia,  in  Pontus 
and  Asia,  10  in  Phrygia  and  Pam-

Libya  about  Cyrene,  and  sojourners 
from  Rome,  both  Jews  and  prose- 
lytes, II  Cretans  and  Arabians,  we 
do  hear  them  speaking  in  our 
tongues  the  mighty  works  of  God. 
12  And  they  were  all  amazed,  and 
were  perplexed,  saying  one  to  an- 
other. What  meaneth  this?  13  But 
others  mocking  said.  They  are  filled 
with  new  wine. 

14  But  Peter,  standing  up  with

spake  forth  unto  them,  saying,  Ye

CHAPTER  2. 

AND  when  the  days  of  the  Pentecost 
were  accomplished,  they  were  all  to- 
gether in  one  place: 

2  And  suddenly  there  came  a  sound 
from  heaven,  as  of  a  mighty  wind  com- 
ing, and  it  filled  the  whole  house  where 
they  were  sitting. 

3  And  there  appeared  to  them  parted 
tongues  as  it  were  of  fire,  and  it  sat  upon 
every  one  of  them : 

4  And  they  were  all  filled  with  the 
Holy  Ghost,  and  they  began  to  speak 
with  divers  tongues,  according  as  the  Holy 
Ghost  gave  them  to  speak. 

•  5  Now  there  were  dwelling  at  Jeru-

multitude  came  together,  and  were  con-

heard  them  speak  in  his  own  tongue. 

7  And  they  were  all  amazed,  and  won- 
dered, saying:  Behold,  are  not  all  these, 
that  speak,  Galileans? 

8  And  how  have  we  heard,  every  man 
own  own  tongue  wherein  we  were  born? 

9  Parthians,  and  Medes,  and  Elamites, 
and  inhabitants  of  Mesopotamia,  Judea,

15  For  these  are  not  drunk,  as  you  sup-

16  But  this  is  that  which  was  spoken  of 
by  the  prophet  Joel : 

17  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  in  the  last 


i8       AUTHORIZED 


THE  ACTS,  2. 


REVISED 


17  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  the 
last  days,  saith  God,  I  will  pour  out  of 
my  Spirit  upon  all  flesh :  and  your  sons 
and  your  daughters  shall  prophesy,  and 
your  young  men  shall  see  visions,  and 
your  old  men  shall  dream  dreams : 

18  And  on  my  servants  and  on  my 
handmaidens  I  will  pour  out  in  those 
days  of  my  Spirit ;  and  they  shall 
prophesy : 

19  And  I  will  shew  wonders  in  hea- 
ven alcove,  and  signs  in  the  earth  be- 
neath ;  blood,  and  fire,  and  vapour  of 
smoke : 

20  The  sun  shall  be  turned  into  dark- 
ness, and  the  moon  into  blood,  before 
that  great  and  notable  day  of  the  Lord 
come: 

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  who- 
soever shall  call  on  the  name  of  the 
Lord  shall  be  saved. 

22  Ye  men  of  Israel,  hear  these  words ; 
Jesus  of  Nazareth,  a  man  approved  of 
God  among  you  by  miracles  and  won- 
ders and  signs,  which  God  did  by  him 
in  the  midst  of  you,  as  ye  yourselves  also 
know : 

23  Him,  being  delivered  by  the  deter- 
minate counsel  and  foreknowledge  of 
God,  ye  have  taken,  and  by  wicked  hands 
have  crucified  and  slain: 

24  Whom  God  hath  raised  up,  having 
loosed  the  pains  of  death :  because  it 
was  not  possible  that  he  should  be  holden 
of  it. 

25  For  David  speaketh  concerning  him, 
I  foresaw  the  Lord  always  before  my 
face,  for  he  is  on  my  right  hand,  that 
I  should  not  be  moved : 

26  Therefore  did  my  heart  rejoice,  and 
my  tongue  was  glad ;  moreover  also  my 
flesh  shall  rest  in  hope: 

27  Because  thou  wilt  not  leave  my 
soul  in  hell,  neither  wilt  thou  suffer  thine 
Holy  One  to  see  corruption. 

28  Thou  hast  made  known  to  me  the 
ways  of  life ;  thou  shalt  make  me  full  of 
joy  with  thy  countenance. 

29  Men  and  brethren,  let  me  freely 
speak  unto  you  of  the  patriarch  David, 
that  he  is  both  dead  and  buried,  and  his 
sepulchre  is  with  us  unto  this  day. 

30  Therefore  being  a  prophet,  and 
knowing  that  God  had  sworn  with  an 
oath  to  him,  that  of  the  fruit  of  his 
loins,  according  to  the  flesh,  he  would 
raise  up  Christ  to  sit  on  his  throne ; 

31  He  seeing  this  before  spake  of  the 
resurrection  of  Christ,  that  his  soul  was 


which  hath  been  spoken  by  the 
prophet  Joel ; 

17  And  it  shall  be  in  the  last  days, 
saith  God, 
I   will  pour   forth  of  my  Spirit 

upon  all  flesh : 
And  your  sons  and  your  daugh- 
ters shall  prophesy, 
And  your  young  men  shall  see 

visions. 
And  your  old  men  shall  dream 
dreams : 
iS  Yea    and    on    my    servants    and 
on  my  handmaidens  in  those 
days 
Will  I  pour  forth  of  my  Spirit ; 
and  they  shall  prophesy. 

19  And  I  will  shew  wonders  in  the 

heaven  above. 
And  signs  on  the  earth  beneath ; 
Blood,  and  fire,  and  vapour  of 

smoke : 

20  The    sun    shall    be    turned    into 

darkness, 
And  the  moon  into  blood. 
Before    the    day    of    the    Lord 

come. 
That  great  and  notable  day: 

21  And  it  shall  be,  that  whosoever 

shall  call  on  the  name  of  the 
Lord  shall  be  saved. 

22  Ye  men  of  Israel,  hear  these 
words :  Jesus  of  Nazareth,  a  man 
approved  of  God  unto  you  by 
mighty  works  and  wonders  and 
signs,  which  God  did  by  him  in  the 
midst  of  you,  even  as  ye  yourselves 
know ;  23  him,  being  delivered  up 
by  the  determinate  counsel  and 
foreknowledge  of  God,  ye  by  the 
hand  of  lawless  men  did  crucify 
and  slay :  24  whom  God  raised  up, 
having  loosed  the  pangs  of  death : 
because  it  was  not  possible  that  he 
should  be  holden  of  it.  25  For  Da- 
vid saith  concerning  him, 

I  beheld  the  Lord  always  be- 
fore my  face ; 

For  he  is  on  my  right  hand,

26  Therefore   my  heart   was   glad, 

and  my  tongue  rejoiced; 
Moreover    my    flesh    also    shall 
dwell  in  hope : 

27  Because  thou  wilt  not  leave  my 

soul  in  Hades, 
Neither  wilt  thou  give  thy  Holy 
One  to  see  corruption.

is  that  which  hath  been  spoken 
through  the  prophet  Joel : 

17  And  it  shall  be  in  the  last  days, 

saith  God, 

I  will  pour  forth  of  my  Spirit 
upon  all  flesh: 

And  your  sons  and  your  daugh- 
ters shall  prophesy, 

And  your  young  men  shall  see 
visions, 

And  your  old  men  shall  dream 
dreams : 

18  Yea    and    on    my    servants    and 

on   my  handmaidens   in   those 
days 
Will  I  pour  forth  of  my  Spirit; 
and  they  shall  prophesy. 

19  And  I  will  show  wonders  in  the 

heaven  above, 

And  signs  on  the  earth  be- 
neath ; 

Blood,  and  fire,  and  vapor  of 
smoke : 

20  The    sun    shall    be    turned    into 

darkness, 
And  the  moon  into  blood, 
Before    the    day    of    the    Lord 

come, 
That  great  and  notable  day: 

21  And  It  shall  be,  that  whosoever 

shall  call  on  the  name  of  the 
Lord  shall  be  saved. 

22  Ye  men  of  Israel,  hear  these 
words:  Jesus  of  Nazareth,  a  man 
approved  of  God  unto  you  by 
mighty  works  and  wonders  and 
signs  which  God  did  by  him  in  the 
midst  of  you,  even  as  ye  yourselves 
know ;  23  him,  being  delivered  up 
by  the  determinate  counsel  and 
foreknowledge  of  God,  ye  by  the 
hand  of  lawless  men  did  crucify 
and  slay :  24  whom  God  raised  up, 
having  loosed  the  pangs  of  death : 
because  it  was  not  possible  that  he 
should  be  holden  of  it.  25  For 
David   saith  concerning  him, 

I  beheld  the  Lord  always  before 

my  face ; 
For  he  is  on  my  right  hand,  that 

I   should  not  be  moved : 

26  Therefore    my    heart    was    glad, 

and  my  tongue  rejoiced; 
Moreover    my    flesh    also    shall 
dwell  in  hope: 

27  Because  thou  wilt  not  leave  my 

soul  unto  Hades, 
Neither  wilt  thou  give  thy  Holy 
One  to  see  corruption. 


days,  {saith  the  Lord,)  I  will  pour  out  of 
my  Spirit  upon  all  flesh:  and  your  sons 
and  your  daughters  shall  prophesy,  and 
your  young  men  shall  see  visions,  and 
your  old  men  shall  dream  dreams. 

18  And  upon  my  servants  indeed,  and 
upon  my  handmaids  will  I  pour  out  in 
those  days  of  my  spirit,  and  they  shall 
prophesy. 

19  And  I  will  shew  wonders  in  the 
heaven  above,  and  signs  on  the  earth  be- 
neath: blood  and  fire,  and  vapour  of 
smoke. 

20  The  sun  shall  be  turned  into  dark- 
ness, and  the  moon  into  blood,  before  the 
great  and  manifest  day  of  the  Lord 
come. 

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  who- 
soever shall  call  upon  the  name  of  the 
Lord,  shall  be  saved. 

22  Ye  men  of  Israel,  hear  these  words : 
Jesus  of  Nazareth,  a  man  approved  of 
God  among  you,  by  miracles,  and  won- 
ders, and  signs,  which  God  did  by 
him,  in  the  midst  of  you,  as  you  also 
know : 

23  This  same  being  delivered  up,  by  the 
determinate  counsel  and  foreknowledge 
of  God,  you  by  the  hands  of  wicked  men 
have  crucified  and  slain. 

24  Whom  God  hath  raised  up,  having 
loosed  the  sorrows  of  hell,  as  it  was 
impossible  that  he  should  be  holden 
by  it. 

25  For  David  saith  concerning  him:  / 
foresaw  the  Lord  before  my  face:  because 
he  is  at  my  right  hand,  that  I  may  not  be 
moved. 

26  For  this  my  heart  hath  been  glad,  and 
my  tongue  hath  rejoiced:  moreover  my 
Uesh  also  shall  rest  in  hope. 

27  Because  thou  wilt  not  leave  my  soul 
in  hell,  nor  suffer  thy  Holy  One  to  see 
corruption. 

28  Thou  hast  made  known  to  me  the 
ways  of  life:  thou  shalt  make  me  full  of 
joy  with  thy  countenance. 

29  Ye  men,  brethren,  let  me  freely  speak 
to  you  of  the  patriarch  David ;  that  he 
died,  and  was  buried;  and  his  sepulchre 
is  with  us  to  this  present  day. 

30  Whereas  therefore  he  was  a  prophet, 
and  knew  that  God  hath  sworn  to  him 
zvith  an  oath,  that  of  the  fruit  of  his  loins 
one  should  sit  upon  his  throne. 

31  Foreseeing  this,  he  spoke  of  the  res- 
urrection of  Christ.  For  neither  was 
he  left  in  hell,  neither  did  his  flesh  see 
corruption.

not  left  in  hell,  neither  his  flesh  did  see 
corruption. 

32  This  Jesus  hath  God  raised  up, 
whereof  we  all  are  witnesses. 

33  Therefore  being  by  the  right  hand 
of  God  exalted,  and  having  received  of 
the  Father  the  promise  of  the  Holy 
Ghost,  he  hath  shed  forth  this,  which  ye 
now   see  and  hear. 

34  For  David  is  not  ascended  into  the 
heavens:  but  he  saith  himself.  The  Lord 
said  unto  my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on  .  my 
right  hand, 

35  Until  I  make  thy  foes  thy  foot- 
stool. 

36  Therefore  let  all  the  house  of  Israel 
know  assuredly,  that  God  hath  made  that 
same  Jesus,  whom  ye  have  crucified,  both 
Lord  and  Christ. 

37  Now  when  they  heard  this,  they 
were  pricked  in  their  heart,  and  said 
unto  Peter  and  to  the  rest  of  the  apos- 
tles. Men  and  brethren,  what  shall  we 
do? 

38  Then  Peter  said  unto  them.  Repent, 
and  be  baptized  every  one  of  you  in  the 
name  of  Jesus  Christ  for  the  remission 
of  sins,  and  ye  shall  receive  the  gift  of 
the  Holy  Ghost. 

39  For  the  promise  is  unto  you,  and 
to  your  children,  and  to  all  that  are  afar 
oflf,  even  as  many  as  the  Lord  our  God 
shall  call. 

40  And  with  many  other  words  did  he 
testify  and  exhort,  saying.  Save  your- 
selves  from  this  untoward  generation. 

41  Then  they  that  gladly  received  his 
word  were  baptized :  and  the  same  day 
there  were  added  unto  them  about  three 
thousand  souls. 

42  And  they  continued  stedfastly  in 
the  apostles'  doctrine  and  fellowship,  and 
in  breaking  of  bread,  and  in  prayers. 

43  And  fear  came  upon  every  soul :  and 
many  wonders  and  signs  were  done  by 
the  apostles. 

44  And  all  that  believed  were  together, 
and  had  all  things  common ; 

45  And  sold  their  possessions  and 
goods,  and  parted  them  to  all  men,  as 
every  man  had  need. 

46  And  they,  continuing  daily  with  one 
accord  in  the  temple,  and  breaking  bread 
from  house  to  house,  did  eat  their 
meat  with  gladness  and  singleness  of 
heart, 

47  Praising  God,  and  having  favour 
with  all  the  people.     And  the  Lord  added 


28  Thou    madest    known    unto    me 

the  ways  of  life ; 
Thou    shalt    make    me    full    of 
gladness  with  thy  countenance. 

29  Brethren,  I  may  say  unto  you 
freely  of  the  patriarch  David,  that 
he  both  died  and  was  buried,  and 
his  tomb  is  with  us  unto  this  day. 

30  Being  therefore  a  prophet,  and 
knowing  that  God  had  sworn  with 
an  oath  to  him,  that  of  the  fruit  of 
his  loins  he  would  set  one  upon 
his  throne;  31  he  foreseeing  this 
spake  of  the  resurrection  of  the 
Christ,  that  neither  was  he  left  in 
Hades,  nor  did  his  flesh  see  corrup- 
tion. 32  This  Jesus  did  God  raise 
up,  whereof  we   all   are  witnesses. 

33  Being  therefore  by  the  right 
hand  of  God  exalted,  and  having 
received  of  the  Father  the  promise 
of  the  Holy  Ghost,  he  hath  poured 
forth  this,  which  ye  see  and  hear. 

34  For  David  ascended  not  into 
the  heavens:  but  he  saith  himself. 

The   Lord    said    unto   my   Lord, 
Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 

35  Till    I    make   thine   enemies  the 

footstool  of  thy  feet. 

36  Let  all  the  house  of  Israel  there- 
fore know  assuredly,  that  God  hath 
made  him  both  Lord  and  Christ, 
this  Jesus  whom  ye  crucified. 

37  Now  when  they  heard  this, 
they  were  pricked  in  their  heart, 
and  said  unto  Peter  and  the  rest  of 
the  apostles.  Brethren,  what  shall

you  is  the  promise,  and  to  your 
children,  and  to  all  that  are  afar

with  many  other  words  he  testified,

the  ways  of  life ; 
Thou    shalt    make    me    full    of 
gladness     with     thy     counte-

29  Brethren,  I  may  say  unto  you 
freely  of  the  patriarch  David,  that 
he  both  died  and  was  buried,  and 
his  tomb  is  with  us  unto  this  day. 

30  Being  therefore  a  prophet,  and 
knowing  that  God  had  sworn  with 
an  oath  to  him,  that  of  the  fruit  of 
his  loins  he  would  set  one  upon  his 
throne;  31  he  foreseeing  this  spake 
of  the  resurrection  of  the  Christ, 
that  neither  was  he  left  unto 
Hades,  nor  did  his  flesh  see  cor- 
ruption. 32  This  Jesus  did  God 
raise  up,  whereof  we  all  are  wit- 
nesses. 3S  Being  therefore  by  the 
right  hand  of  God  exalted,  and 
having  received  of  the  Father  the 
promise  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  he  hath 
poured  forth  this,  which  ye  see 
and  hear.  34  For  David  ascended 
not  into  the  heavens:  but  he  saith 
himself, 

The   Lord    said  unto   my  Lord, 
Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 

35  Till    I    make   thine   enemies   the 

footstool  of  thy  feet. 

36  Let  all  the  house  of  Israel  there- 
fore know  assuredly,  that  God  hath 
made  him  both  Lord  and  Christ, 
this  Jesus  whom  ye  crucified. 

37  Now  when  they  heard  this, 
they  were  pricked  in  their  heart, 
and  said  unto  Peter  and  the  rest 
of  the  apostles,  Brethren,  what  shall 
we  do?  38  And  Peter  said  unto 
them,  Repent  ye,  and  be  baptized 
every  one  of  you  in  the  name  of 
Jesus  Christ  unto  the  remission  of 
your  sins ;  and  ye  shall  receive  the 
gift  of  the  Holy  Spirit.  39  For  to 
you  is  the  promise,  and  to  your 
children,  and  to  all  that  are  afar 
ofif,  even  as  many  as  the  Lord  our 
God  shall  call  unto  him.  40  And 
with  many  other  words  he  testified, 
and  exhorted  them,  saying,  Save 
yourselves  from  this  crooked  gen- 
eration. 41  They  then  that  received 
his  word  were  baptized :  and  there 
were  added  unto  them  in  that  day 
about  three  thousand  souls.  42 
And  they  continued  stedfastly  in 
the   apostles'   teaching   and   fellow- 


32  This  Jesus  hath  God  raised  again, 
whereof  all  we  are  witnesses. 

33  Being  exalted  therefore  by  the  right 
hand  of  God,  and  having  received  of  the 
Father  the  promise  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 
he  hath  poured  forth  this  which  you  see 
and  hear. 

34  For  David  ascended  not  into  heaven  ; 
but  he  himself   said:    The  Lord  said  to 

■my  Lord,  sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 

35  Until  I  make  thy  enemies  thy  foot- 
stool. 

36  Therefore  let  all  the  house  of  Israel 
know  most  certainly,  that  God  hath  made 
both  Lord  and  Christ,  this  same  Jesus, 
whom  you  have  crucified. 

37  Now  when  they  had  heard  these 
things,  they  had  compunction  in  their 
heart,  and  said  to  Peter,  and  to  the  rest 
of  the  apostles:  What  shall  we  do,  men 
and  brethren  ? 

38  But  Peter  said  to  them :  Do  penance, 
and  be  baptized  every  one  of  you  in  the 
name  of  Jesus  Christ,  for  the  remission 
of  your  sins :  and  you  shall  receive  the 
gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

39  For  the  promise  is  to  you,  and  to 
your  children,  and  to  all  that  are  far 
ofif,  whomsoever  the  Lord  our  God  shall 
call. 

40  And  with  very  many  other  words  did 
he  testify  and  exhort  them,  saying:  Save 
yourselves  from  this  perverse  genera- 
tion. 

41  They  therefore  that  received  his 
word,  were  baptized;  and  there  were 
added  in  that  day  about  three  thousand 
souls. 

42  And  they  were  persevering  in  the 
doctrine  of  the  apostles,  and  in  the  com- 
munication of  the  breaking  of  bread,  and 
in  prayers. 

43  And  fear  came  upon  every  soul: 
many  wonders  also  and  signs  were  done 
by  the  apostles  in  Jerusalem,  and  there 
was  great  fear  in  all. 

44  And  all  they  that  believed,  were  to-

45  Their  possessions  and  goods  they 
sold,  and  divided  them  to  all,  according

from  house  to  house,  they  took  their

CHAPTER  3. 

NOW    Peter    and    John    went    up    to- 
gether into  the  temple  at  the  hour 
of  prayer,  being  the  ninth  hour. 

2  And  a  certain  man  lame  from  his 
mother's  womb  was  carried,  whom  they 
laid  daily  at  the  gate  of  the  temple  which 
is  called  Beautiful,  to  ask  alms  of  them 
that  entered  into  the  temple; 

3  Who  seeing  Peter  and  John  about 
to  go  into  the  temple  asked  an  alms. 

4  And  Peter,  fastening  his  eyes  upon 
him  with  John,  said,  Look  on  us. 

5  And  he  gave  heed  unto  them,  ex- 
pecting to  receive  something  of  them. 

6  Then  Peter  said.  Silver  and  gold  have 
I  none ;  but  such  as  I  have  give  I  thee : 
In  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Nazareth 
rise  up  and  walk. 

7  And  he  took  him  by  the  right  hand, 
and  lifted  him  up :  and  immediately  his 
feet  and  ancle  bones  received  strength. 

8  And  he  leaping  up  stood,  and  walked, 
and  entered  with  them  into  the  temple, 
walking,  and  leaping,  and  praising  God. 

9  And  all  the  people  saw  him  walking 
and  praising  God: 

ID  And  they  knew  that  it  was  he  which 
sat  for  alms  at  the  Beautiful  gate  of  the 
temple:  and  they  were  filled  with  won- 
der and  amazement  at  that  which  had 
happened  unto  him. 

11  And  as  the  lame  man  which  was 
healed  held  Peter  and  John,  all  the  people 
ran  together  unto  them  in  the  porch  that 
is  called  Solomon's,  greatly  wondering. 

12  And  when  Peter  saw  it,  he  answered 
unto  the  people.  Ye  men  of  Israel,  why 
marvel  ye  at  this?  or  why  look  ye  so 
earnestly  on  us,  as  though  by  our  own 


I^OW  Peter  and  John  were  go- 
3^-^  ing  up  into  the  temple  at  the 
hour  of  prayer,  being  the  ninth 
hour.  2  And  a  certain  man  that 
was  lame  from  his  mother's  womb 
was  carried,  whom  they  laid  daily 
at  the  door  of  the  temple  which  is 
called  Beautiful,  to  ask  alms  of 
them  that  entered  into  the  temple; 
3  who  seeing  Peter  and  John  about 
to  go  into  the  temple,  asked  to  re- 
ceive an  alms.  4  And  Peter,  fas- 
tening his  eyes  upon  him,  with  John, 
said,  Look  on  us.  5  And  he  gave 
heed  unto  them,  expecting  to  re- 
ceive something  from  them.  6  But 
Peter  said,  Silver  and  gold  have 
I  none;  but  what  I  have,  that  give 
I  thee.  In  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ 
of  Nazareth,  walk.  7  And  he  took 
him  by  the  right  hand,  and  raised 
him  up:  and  immediately  his  feet 
and  his  ankle-bones  received 
strength.  8  And  leaping  up,  he 
stood,  and  began  to  walk ;  and  he 
entered  with  them  into  the  temple, 
walking,  and  leaping,  and  praising 
God.  9  And  all  the  people  saw  him 
walking  and  praising  God:  10  and 
they  took  knowledge  of  him,  that 
it  was  he  which  sat  for  alms  at  the 
Beautiful  Gate  of  the  temple:  and 
they  were  filled  with  wonder  and 
amazement  at  that  which  had  hap- 
pened unto  him. 

II  And  as  he  held  Peter  and 
John,  all  the  people  ran  together 
unto  them  in  the  porch  that  is 
called    Solomon's,   greatly   wonder-

them  day  by  day  those  that  were

give  I  thee.  In  the  name  of  Jesus 
Christ  of  Nazareth,  walk,  7  And 
he  took  him  by  the  right  hand,  and 
raised  him  up :  and  immediately  his 
feet  and  his  ankle-bones  received 
strength.  8  And  leaping  up,  he 
stood,  and  began  to  walk;  and  he 
entered  with  them  into  the  temple, 
walking,  and  leaping,  and  praising 
God,  9  And  all  the  people  saw 
him  walking  and  praising  God :  10 
and  they  took  knowledge  of  him, 
that  it  was  he  that  sat  for  alms 
at  the  Beautiful  Gate  of  the  tem- 
ple; and  they  were  filled  with 
wonder  and  amazement  at  that 
which  had  happened  unto  him. 

II  And  as  he  held  Peter  and 
John,  all  the  people  ran  together 
unto  them  in  the  porch  that  is 
called    Solomon's,    greatly    wonder- 


creased  daily  together  such  as  should  be 
saved. 


CHAPTER    3. 

NOW  Peter  and  John  went  up  into  the 
temple  at  the  ninth  hour  of  prayer. 

2  And  a  certain  man  who  was  lame 
from  his  mother's  womb,  was  carried: 
whom  they  laid  every  day  at  the  gate  of 
the  temple,  which  is  called  Beautiful,  that 
he  might  ask  alms  of  them  that  went  into 
the  temple. 

3  He,  when  he  had  seen  Peter  and 
John  about  to  go  into  the  temple,  asked 
to  receive  an  alms. 

4  But  Peter  with  John  fastening  his 
eyes  upon  him,  said :  Look  upon  us. 

5  But  he  looked  earnestly  upon  them, 
hoping  that  he  should  receive  something 
of  them. 

6  But  Peter  said :  Silver  and  gold  I  have 
none ;  but  what  I  have,  I  give  thee :  In 
the  name  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Nazareth, 
arise,  and  walk. 

7  And  taking  him  by  the  right  hand,  he 
lifted  him  up,  and  forthwith  his  feet  and 
soles  received  strength. 

8  And  he  leaping  up,  stood,  and  walked, 
and  went  in  with  them  into  the  tem- 
ple, walking,  and  leaping,  and  praising 
God. 

9  And  all  the  people  saw  him  walking 
and  praising  God. 

10  And  they  knew  him,  that  it  was  he 
who  sat  begging  alms  at  the  Beautiful 
gate  of  the  temple :  and  they  were  filled 
with  wonder  and  amazement  at  that  which 
had  happened  to  him, 

11  And  as  he  held  Peter  and  John,  all 
the  people  ran  to  them  to  the  porch 
which  is  called  Solomon's,  greatly  won- 
dering. 

12  But  Peter  seeing,  made  answer  to  the

power  or  holiness  we  had  made  this  man 
to  walk  ?  . 

13  The  God  of  Abraham,  and  of  Isaac, 
and  of  Jacob,  the  God  of  our  fathers, 
hath  glorified  his  Son  Jesus;  whom  ye 
delivered  up,  and  denied  him  in  the  pres- 
ence of  Pilate,  when  he  was  determined 
to  let  him  go. 

14  But  ye  denied  the  Holy  One  and 
the  Just,  and  desired  a  murderer  to  be 
granted  unto  you ; 

15  And  killed  the  Prince  of  life,  whom 
God  hath  raised  from  the  dead;  whereof 
we  are  witnesses. 

16  And  his  name  through  faith  in  his 
name  hath  made  this  man  strong,  whom 
ye  see  and  know:  yea,  the  faith  which  is 
by  him  hath  given  him  this  perfect 
soundness  in  the  presence  of  you  all. 

17  And  now,  brethren,  I  wot  that 
through  ignorance  ye  did  it,  as  did  also 
your  rulers. 

18  But  those  things,  which  God  before 
had  shewed  by  the  mouth  of  all  his 
prophets,  that  Christ  should  suffer,  he 
hath  so  fulfilled. 

19  Repent  ye  therefore,  and  be  con- 
verted, that  your  sins  may  be  blotted  out, 
when  the  times  of  refreshing  shall  come 
from  the  presence  of  the  Lord; 

20  And  he  shall  send  Jesus  Christ, 
which  before  was  preached  unto  you: 

21  Whom  the  heaven  must  receive 
until  the  times  of  restitution  of  all 
things,  which  God  hath  spoken  by  the 
mouth  of  all  his  holy  prophets  since  the 
world  began. 

22  For  Moses  truly  said  unto  the 
fathers,  A  prophet  shall  the  Lord  your 
God  raise  up  unto  you  of  your  brethren, 
like  unto  me;  him  shall  ye  hear  in  all 
things  whatsoever  he  shall  say  unto 
you. 

23  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  every 
soul,  which  will  not  hear  that  prophet, 
shall  be  destroyed  from  among  the  peo- 
ple. 

24  Yea,  and  all  the  prophets  from 
Samuel  and  those  that  follow  after,  as 
many  as  have  spoken,  have  likewise  fore- 
told of  these  days. 

25  Ye  are  the  children  of  the  prophets, 
and  of  the  covenant  which  God  made 
with  our  fathers,  saying  unto  Abraham, 
And  in  thy  seed  shall  all  the  kindreds 
of  the  earth  be  blessed. 

26  Unto  you  first  God,  having  raised  up 
his  Son  Jesus,  sent  him  to  bless  you,  in 


ing.  12  And  when  Peter  saw  it,  he 
answered  unto  the  people,  Ye  men 
of  Israel,  why  marvel  ye  at  this 
man  ?  or  why  fasten  ye  your  eyes 
on  us,  as  though  by  our  own  power 
or  godliness  we  had  made  him  to 
walk?  13  The  God  of  Abraham, 
and  of  Isaac,  and  of  Jacob,  the 
God  of  our  fathers,  hath  glorified 
his  Servant  Jesus;  whom  ye  de- 
livered up,  and  denied  before  the 
face  of  Pilate,  when  he  had  deter- 
mined to  release  him.  14  But  ye 
denied  the  Holy  and  Righteous 
One,  and  asked  for  a  murderer  to 
be  granted  unto  you,  15  and  killed 
the  Prince  of  life ;  whom  God 
raised  from  the  dead;  whereof  we 
are  witnesses.  16  And  by  faith 
in  his  name  hath  his  name  made 
this  man  strong,  whom  ye  behold 
and  know :  yea,  the  faith  which  is 
through  him  hath  given  him  this 
perfect  soundness  in  the  presence 
of  you  all.  17  And  now,  brethren, 
I  wot  that  in  ignorance  ye  did  it, 
as  did  also  your  rulers.  18  But  the 
things  which  God  foreshewed  by 
the  mouth  of  all  the  prophets,  that 
his  Christ  should  suffer,  he  thus 
fulfilled.  19  Repent  ye  therefore, 
and  turn  again,  that  your  sins  may 
be  blotted  out,  that  so  there  may 
come  seasons  of  refreshing  from 
the  presence  of  the  Lord ;  20  and 
that  he  may  send  the  Christ  who 
hath  been  appointed  for  you,  even 
Jesus :  21  whom  the  heaven  must 
receive  until  the  times  of  restora- 
tion of  all  things,  whereof  God 
spake  by  the  mouth  of  his  holy 
prophets  which  have  been  since  the 
world  began.  22  Moses  indeed  said, 
A  prophet  shall  the  Lord  God  raise

ye  hearken  in  all  things  whatsoever 
he  shall  speak  unto  you.  23  And  it 
shall  be,  that  every  soul,  which  shall 
not  hearken  to  that  prophet,  shall

you  at  this?  or  why  look  you  upon  us, 
as  if  by  our  strength  or  power  we  had

Jesus,  whom  you  indeed  delivered  up  and

AND  as  they  spake  unto  the  people,  the 
priests,  and  the  captain  of  the  tem- 
ple, and  the  Sadducees,  came  upon  them, 

2  Being  grieved  that  they  taught  the 
people,  and  preached  through  Jesus  the 
resurrection   from  the  dead. 

3  And  they  laid  hands  on  them,  and 
put  them  in  hold  unto  the  next  day:  for 
it  was  now  eventide. 

4  Howbeit  many  of  them  which  heard 
the  word  believed ;  and  the  number  of 
the  men  was  about  five  thousand. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow, 
that  their  rulers,  and  elders,  and  scribes, 

6  And  Annas  the  high  priest,  and 
Caiaphas,  and  John,  and  Alexander,  and 
as  many  as  were  of  the  kindred  of  the 
high  priest,  were  gathered  together  at 
Jerusalem. 

7  And  when  they  had  set  them  in  the 
midst,  they  asked,  By  what  power,  or  by 
what  name,  have  ye  done  this? 

8  Then  Peter,  filled  with  the  Holy 
Ghost,  said  unto  them.  Ye  rulers  of  the 
people,  and  elders  of  Israel, 

9  If  we  this  day  be  examined  of  the 
good  deed  done  to  the  impotent  man,  by 
what  means  he  is  made  whole ; 

10  Be  it  known  unto  you  all,  and  to 
all  the  people  of  Israel,  that  by  the 
name  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Nazareth,  whom 
ye  crucified,  whom  God  raised  from  the 
dead,  even  by  him  doth  this  man  stand 
here  before  you  whole. 

11  This  is  the  stone  which  was  set 
at  nought  of  you  builders,  which  is  be- 
come the  head  of  the  corner. 

12  Neither  is  there  salvation  in  any 
other:  for  there  is  none  other  name  un- 
der heavfen  given  among  men,  whereby 
we  must  be  saved. 

13  Now  when  they  saw  the  boldness  of 
Peter  and  John,  and  perceived  that  they 
were  unlearned  and  ignorant  men,  they 
marvelled;  and  they  took  knowledge  of 
them,  that  they  had  been  with  Jesus. 

14  And  beholding  the  man  which  was 
healed  standing  with  them,  they  could 
say  nothing  against  it. 

15  But  when  they  had  commanded 
them  to  go  aside  out  of  the  council,  they 
conferred  among  themselves, 


seed  shall  all  the  families  of  the 
earth  be  blessed.  26  Unto  you  first 
God,  having  raised  up  his  Servant, 
sent  him  to  bless  you,  in  turning 
away  every  one  of  you  from  your 
iniquities. 

A  ND  as  they  spake  unto  the 
4-^-^  people,  the  priests  and  the 
captain  of  the  temple  and  the  Sad- 
ducees came  upon  them,  2  being 
sore  troubled  because  they  taught 
the  people,  and  proclaimed  in  Jesus 
the  resurrection  from  the  dead. 
3  And  they  laid  hands  on  them,  and 
put  them  in  ward  unto  the  mor- 
row :  for  it  was  now  eventide.  4 
But  many  of  them  that  heard  the 
word  believed;  and  the  number  of 
the  men  came  to  be  about  five  thou- 
sand. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  their  rulers  and  elders

them  in  the  midst,  they  inquired, 
By  what  power,  or  in  what  name, 
have  ye  done  this?  8  Then  Peter, 
filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  said 
unto  them,  Ye  rulers  of  the  people,

whom  ye  crucified,  whom  God 
raised  from  the  dead,  even  in  him 
doth  this  man  stand  here  before 
you  whole.  11  He  is  the  stone

is  there  any  other  name  under  hea- 
ven, that  is  given  among  men,

had  perceived  that  they  were  un-

marvelled ;  and  they  took  knowl-

men  was  made  five  thousand. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  morrow,

many  as  were  of  the  kindred  of  the  high 
priest. 

7  And  setting  them  in  the  midst,  they 
asked :  By  what  power,  or  by  what  name, 
have  you  done  this? 

8  Then  Peter,  filled  with  the  Holy 
Ghost,  said  to  them:  Ye  princes  of  the 
people,  and  ancients,  hear: 

9  If  we  this  day  are  examined  concern- 
ing the  good  deed  done  to  the  infirm 
man,  by  what  means  he  hath  been  made 
whole : 

10  Be  it  known  to  you  all,  and  to  all 
the  people  of  Israel,  that  by  the  name  of 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  of  Nazareth,  whom 
you  crucified,  whom  God  hath  raised 
from  the  dead,  even  by  him  this  man 
standeth  here  before  you  whole, 

11  This  is  the  stone  which  was  rejected 
by  you  the  builders,  which  is  become  the 
head  of  the  corner. 

12  Neither  is  there  salvation  in  any 
other.  For  there  is  no  other  name  under 
heaven  given  to  men,  whereby  we  must 
be  saved. 

13  Now  seeing  the  constancy  of  Peter 
and  of  John,  understanding  that  they 
were  illiterate  and  ignorant  men,  they 
wondered ;  and  they  knew  them  that 
they  had  been  with  Jesus, 

14  Seeing  the  man  also  who  had  been 
healed  standing  with  them,  they  could 
say  nothing  against  it,

16  Saying^  What  shall  we  do  to  these 
men?  for  that  indeed  a  notable  miracle 
hath  been  done  by  them  is  manifest  to 
all  them  that  dwell  in  Jerusalem;  and  we 
cannot  deny  it. 

17  But  that  it  spread  no  further  among 
the  people,  let  us  straitly  threaten  them, 
that  they  speak  henceforth  to  no  man  in 
this  name. 

18  And  they  called  them,  and  com- 
manded them  not  to  speak  at  all  nor  teach 
in  the  name  of  Jesus. 

19  But  Peter  and  John  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  Whether  it  be  right  in  the 
sight  of  God  to  hearken  unto  you  more 
than  unto  God,  judge  ye. 

20  For  we  cannot  but  speak  the  things 
which  we  have  seen  and  heard. 

21  So  when  they  had  further  threat- 
ened them,  they  let  them  go,  finding 
nothing  how  they  might  punish  them,  be- 
cause of  the  people :  for  all  men  glorified 
God  for  that  which  was  done. 

22  FoT  the  man  was  above  forty  years 
old,  on  whom  this  miracle  of  healing 
was  shewed. 

23  And  being  let  go,  they  went  to  their 
own  company,  and  reported  all  that  the 
chief  priests  and  elders  had  said  unto 
them. 

24  And  when  they  heard  that,  they 
lifted  up  their  voice  to  God  with  one  ac- 
cord, and  said,  Lord,  thou  art  God, 
which  hast  made  heaven,  and  earth,  and 
the  sea,  and  all  that  in  them  is : 

25  Who  by  the  mouth  of  thy  servant 
David  hast  said.  Why  did  the  heathen 
rage,  and  the  people  imagine  vain 
things? 

26  The  kings  of  the  earth  stood  up, 
and  the  rulers  were  gathered  together 
against  the  Lord,  and  against  his  Christ. 

27  For  of  a  truth  against  thy  holy 
child  Jesus,  whom  thou  hast  anointed, 
both  Herod,  and  Pontius  Pilate,  with 
the  Gentiles,  and  the  people  of  Israel, 
were  gathered  together, 

28  For  to  do  whatsoever  thy  hand  and 
thy  counsel  determined  before  to  be  done. 

29  And  now,  Lord,  behold  their  threat- 
enings:  and  grant  unto  thy  servants,  that 
with  all  boldness  they  may  speak  thy 
word, 

30  By  stretching  forth  thine  hand  to 
heal ;  and  that  signs  and  wonders  may 
be  done  by  the  name  of  thy  holy  child 
Jesus. 

31  And  when  they  had  prayed,  the 
place  was  shaken   where   they   were   as- 


which  was  healed  standing  with 
them,  they  could  say  nothing 
against  it.  15  But  when  they  had 
commanded  them  to  go  aside  out  of 
the  council,  they  conferred  among 
themselves,  16  saying,  What  shall 
we  do  to  these  men?  for  that  in- 
deed a  notable  miracle  hath  been 
wrought  through  them,  is  manifest 
to  all  that  dwell  in  Jerusalem;  and 
we  cannot  deny  it.  17  But  that  it 
spread  no  further  among  the  peo-

and  said  unto  them,  Whether  it  be 
right  in  the  sight  of  God  to  hearken 
unto  you  rather  than  unto  God, 
judge  ye:  20  for  we  cannot  but 
speak  the  things  which  we  saw  and 
heard.  21  And  they,  when  they 
had  further  threatened  them,  let 
them  go,  finding  nothing  how  they

5  And  Ananias  hearing  these  words 
fell  down,  and  gave  up  the  ghost :  and 
great  fear  came  on  all  them  that  heard 
these  things. 

6  And  the  young  men  arose,  wound  him 
up,  and  carried  him  out,  and  buried  him. 

7  And  it  was  about  the  space  of  three

much?    And  she  said,  Yea,  for  so  much.

that  ye  have  agreed  together  to  tempt  the 
Spirit  of  the  Lord?  behold,  the  feet  of 
them  which  have  buried  thy  husband  are 
at  the  door,  and  shall  carry  thee  out. 

10  Then  fell  she  down  straightway  at 
his  feet,  and  yielded  up  the  ghost:  and 
the  young  men  came  in,  and  found  her 
dead,  and,  carrying  her  forth,  buried  her 
by  her  husband. 

11  And  great  fear  came  upon  all  the 
church,  and  upon  as  many  as  heard  these 
things. 

12  And  by  the  hands  of  the  apostles 
were  many  signs  and  wonders  wrought 
among  the  people ;  (and  they  were  all 
with  one  accord  in  Solomon's  porch. 

13  And  of  the  rest  durst  no  man  join 
himself  to  them:  but  the  people  magni- 
fied them. 

14  And  believers  were  the  more  added 
to  the  Lord,  multitudes  both  of  men  and 
women.) 

15  Insomuch  that  they  brought  forth 
the  sick  into  the  streets,  and  laid  them 
on  beds  and  couches,  that  at  the  least 
the  shadow  of  Peter  passing  by  might 
overshadow  some  of  them. 

16  There  came  also  a  multitude  out  of 
the  cities  round  about  unto  Jerusalem, 
bringing  sick  folks,  and  them  which  were 
vexed  with  unclean  spirits :  and  they 
were  healed  every  one. 

17  Then  the  high  priest  rose  up,  and 
all  they  that  were  with  him,  (which  is  the 
sect  of  the  Sadducees,)  and  were  filled 
with  indignation, 

18  And  laid  their  hands  on  the 
apostles,  and  put  them  in  the  common 
prison. 

19  But  the  angel  of  the  Lord  by  night 
opened  the  prison  doors,  and  brought 
them  forth,  and  said, 

20  Go,  stand  and  speak  in  the  temple 
to  the  people  all  the  words  of  this  life. 


hast  conceived  this  thing  in  thy 
heart?  thou  hast  not  lied  unto  men, 
but  unto  God.  5  And  Ananias 
hearing  these  words  fell  down  and 
gave  up  the  ghost:  and  great  fear 
came  upon  all  that  heard  it.  6  And 
the  young  men  arose  and  wrapped 
him  round,  and  they  carried  him 
out  and  buried  him. 

7  And  it  was  about  the  space  of 
three  hours  after,  when  his  wife, 
not  knowing  what  was  done,  came 
in.  8  And  Peter  answered  unto  her, 
Tell  me  whether  ye  sold  the  land 
for  so  much.  And  she  said,  Yea, 
for  so  much.  9  But  Peter  said  unto 
her.  How  is  it  that  ye  have  agreed

Lord?  behold,  the  feet  of  them 
which  have  buried  thy  husband  are

mediately at  his  feet,  and  gave 
up  the  ghost:  and  the  young  men 
came  in  and  found  her  dead,  and 
they  carried  her  out  and  buried  her 
by  her  husband.  11  And  great  fear 
came  upon  the  whole  church,  and

21  And  when  they  heard  that,  they  en- 
tered into  the  temple  early  in  the  morn-

came,  and  they  that  were  with  him,  and 
called  the  council  together,  and  all  the 
senate  of  the  children  of  Israel,  and  sent 
to  the  prison  to  have  them  brought. 

22  But  when  the  officers  came,  and 
found  them  not  in  the  prison,  they  re-

shut  with  all  safety,  and  ^  the  keepers 
standing  without  before  the  doors :  but 
when  we  had  opened,  we  found  no  man 
within. 

24  Now  when  the  high  priest  and  the 
captain  of  the  temple  and  the  chief 
priests  heard  these  things,  they  doubted 
of  them  whereunto  this  would  grow. 

25  Then  came  one  and  told  them,  say- 
ing, Behold,  the  men  whom  ye  put  in 
prison  are  standing  in  the  temple,  and 
teaching  the  people. 

26  Then  went  the  captain  with  the  of- 
ficers, and  brought  them  without  vio-

they  should  have  been  stoned. 

27  And  when  they  had  brought  them, 
they  set  them  before  the  council:  and 
the  high  priest  asked  them, 

28  Saying,  Did  not  we  straitly  com-

this  name?  and,  behold,  ye  have  filled 
Jerusalem  with  your  doctrine,  and  in- 
tend to  bring  this  man's  blood  upon

29  Then  Peter  and  the  other  apostles 
answered  and  said,  We  ought  to  obey 
God  rather  than  men. 

30  The  God  of  our  fathers  raised  up 
Jesus,  whom  ye  slew  and  hanged  on  a 
tree; 

31  Him  hath  God  exalted  with  his  right 
hand  to  be  a  Prince  and  a  Saviour,  for 
to  give  repentance  to  Israel,  and  forgive- 
ness of  sins. 

32  And  we  are  his  witnesses  of  these 
things;  and  so  is  also  the  Holy  Ghost, 
whom  God  hath  given  to  them  that  obey 
him. 

33  When  they  heard  that,  they  were 
cut  to  the  heart,  and  took  counsel  to  slay 
them. 

34  Then  stood  there  up  one  in  the 
council,  a  Pharisee,  named  Gamaliel,  a 
doctor  of  the  law,  had  in  reputation 
among  all  the  people,  and  commanded 
to  put  the  apostles  forth  a  little  space ;

taught.  But  the  high  priest  came, 
and  they  that  were  with  him,  and 
called  the  council  together,  and  all

have  them  brought.  22  But  the 
officers  that  came  found  them  not  in

but  when  we  had  opened,  we  found

Israel,  take  heed  to  yourselves  what  ye 
intend   to   do  as  touching  these   men. 

36  For  before  these  days  rose  up 
Theudas,  boasting  himself  to  be  some- 
body; to  whom  a  number  of  men,  about 
four  hundred,  joined  themselves:  who 
was  slain ;  and  all,  as  many  as  obeyed 
him,  were  scattered,  and  brought  to 
nought. 

Z7  After  this  man  rose  up  Judas  of 
Galilee  in  the  days  of  the  taxing,  and 
drew  away  much  people  after  him :  he 
also  perished;  and  all,  even  as  many  as 
obeyed  him,  were  dispersed. 

38  And  now  I  say  unto  you,  Refrain 
from  these  men,  and  let  them  alone:  for 
if  this  counsel  or  this  work  be  of  men, 
it  will  come  to  nought : 

39  But  if  it  be  of  God,  ye  cannot  over- 
throw it;  lest  haply  ye  be  found  even 
to  fight  against  God. 

40  And  to  him  they  agreed:  and  when 
they  had  called  the  apostles,  and  beaten 
them,  they  commanded  that  they  should 
not  speak  in  the  name  of  Jesus,  and  let 
them  go. 

41  And  they  departed  from  the  pres- 
ence of  the  council,  rejoicing  that  they 
were  counted  worthy  to  suffer  shame  for 
his  name. 

42  And  daily  in  the  temple,  and  in 
every  house,  they  ceased  not  to  teach 
and  preach  Jesus  Christ. 


35  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye  men 
of  Israel,  take  heed  to  yourselves 
as  touching  these  men,  what  ye  are 
about  to  do.  36  For  before  these 
days  rose  up  Theudas,  giving  him- 
self out  to  be  somebody;  to  whom 
a  number  of  men,  about  four  hun- 
dred, joined  themselves:  who  was 
slain ;  and  all,  as  many  as  obeyed 
him,  were  dispersed,  and  came  to 
nought.  Z7  After  this  man  rose  up 
Judas  of  Galilee  in  the  days  of 
the  enrolment,  and  drew  away  some 
of  the  people  after  him :  he  also 
perished ;  and  all,  as  many  as 
obeyed  him,  were  scattered  abroad. 
38  And  now  I  say  unto  you.  Re- 
frain from  these  men,  and  let  them 
alone:  for  if  this  counsel  or  this 
work  be  of  men,  it  will  be  over- 
thrown :  39  but  if  it  is  of  God,  ye 
will  not  be  able  to  overthrow  them ; 
lest  haply  ye  be  found  even  to  be 
fighting  against  God.  40  And  to 
him  they  agreed :  and  when  they 
had  called  the  apostles  unto  them, 
they  beat  them  and  charged  them 
not  to  speak  in  the  name  of  Jesus, 
and  let  them  go.  41  They  there- 
fore departed  from  the  presence  of 
the  council,  rejoicing  that  they  were 
counted  worthy  to  suffer  dishonour 
for  the  Name.  42  And  every  day, 
in  the  temple  and  at  home,  they 
ceased  not  to  teach  and  to  preach 
Jesus  as  the  Christ.

arose  a  murmuring  of  the  Grecians

It  is  not  reason  that  we  should  leave  the

of  all  the  people,  and  commanded 
to  put  the  men  forth  a  little  while. 
35  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  men 
of  Israel,  take  heed  to  yourselves 
as  touching  these  men,  what  ye 
are  about  to  do.  36  For  before

4  But  we  will  continue  stedfastly

they  chose  Stephen,  a  man  full  of 


rael,  take  heed  to  yourselves  what  you 
intend  to  do,  as  touching  these  men. 

36  For  before  these  days  rose  up  Theo- 
das,  affirming  himself  to  be  somebody, 
to  whom  a  number  of  men,  about  four 
hundred,  joined  themselves:  who  was 
slain;  and  all  that  believed  him  were 
scattered,  and  brought  to  nothing. 

Z7  After  this  man,  rose  up  Judas  of  Gal- 
ilee, in  the  days  of  the  enrolling,  and 
drew  away  the  people  after  him:  he  also 
perished;  and  all,  even  as  many  as  con- 
sented to  him,  were  dispersed. 

38  And  now,  therefore,  I  say  to  you, 
refrain  from  these  men,  and  let  them 
alone;  for  if  this  council  or  this  work 
be  of  men,  it  will  come  to  nought: 

39  But  if  it  be  of  God,  you  cannot  over- 
throw it,  lest  perhaps  you  be  found  even 
to  fight  against  God.  And  they  con- 
sented to  him. 

40  And  calling  in  the  apostles,  after 
they  had  scourged  them,  they  charged 
them  that  they  should  not  speak  at  all 
in  the  name  of  Jesus ;  and  they  dismissed 
them. 

41  And  they  indeed  went  from  the  pres- 
ence of  the  council,  rejoicing  that  they 
were  accounted  worthy  to  suffer  re- 
proach for  the  name  of  Jesus. 

42  And  every  day  they  ceased  not  in 
the  temple,  and  from  house  to  house,  to 
teach  and  preach  Christ  Jesus. 


CHAPTER  6. 

AND  in  those  days,  the  number  of  the 
disciples  increasing,  there  arose  a 
murmuring  of  the  Greeks  against  the  He- 
brews, for  that  their  widows  were  neg- 
lected in  the  daily  ministration. 

2  Then  the  twelve  calling  together  the 
multitude  of  the  disciples,  said :  It  is  not

5  And  the  saying  was  liked  by  all  the 
multitude.  And  they  chose  Stephen,  a 
man  fuH  of  faith,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost,

and  Timon,  and  Parmenas,  and  Nicolas 
a  proselyte  of  Antioch  : 

6  Whom  they  set  before  the  apostles : 
and  when  they  had  prayed,  they  laid 
their  hands  on  them. 

7  And  the  word  of  God  increased ;  and 
the  number  of  the  disciples  multiplied  in 
Jerusalem  greatly;  and  a  great  company 
of  the  priests  were  obedient  to  the  faith. 

8  And  Stephen,  full  of  faith  and  power, 
did  great  wonders  and  miracles  among 
the  people. 

9  Then  there  arose  certain  of  the  syna- 
gogue, which  is  called  the  synagogue  of 
the  Libertines,  and  Cyrenians,  and  Alex- 
andrians, and  of  them  of  Cilicia  and  of 
Asia,  disputing  with  Stephen. 

10  And  they  were  not  able  to  resist  the 
wisdom  and  the  spirit  by  which  he  spake. 

11  Then  they  suborned  men,  which 
said,  We  have  heard  him  speak  blas- 
phemous words  against  Moses,  and 
against  God. 

12  And  they  stirred  up  the  people,  and 
the  elders,  and  the  scribes,  and  came  upon 
him,  and  caught  him,  and  brought  him 
to  the  council, 

13  And  set  up  false  witnesses,  which 
said,  This  man  ceaseth  not  to  speak  blas- 
phemous words  against  this  holy  place, 
and  the  law : 

14  For  we  have  heard  him  say,  that  this 
Jesus  of  Nazareth  shall  destroy  this  place, 
and  shall  change  the  customs  which 
Moses  delivered  us. 

15  And  all  that  sat  in  the  council,  look-

peared unto  our  father  Abraham,  when 
he  was  in  Mesopotamia,  before  he  dwelt

they  set  before  the  apostles:  and 
when  they  had  prayed,  they  laid 
their  hands  on  them. 

7  And  the  word  of  God  increased ; 
and  the  number  of  the  disciples 
multiplied  in  Jerusalem  exceed- 
ingly; and  a  great  company  of  the 
priests  were  obedient  to  the   faith. 

8  And  Stephen,  full  of  grace  and 
power,  wrought  great  wonders  and

there  arose  certain  of  them  that

synagogue  of  the  Libertines,  and  of

and  Asia,  disputing  with  Stephen. 
10  And  they  were  not  able  to  with- 
stand the  wisdom  and  the  Spirit  by 
which  he  spake.  11  Then  they 
suborned  men,  which  said.  We  have 
heard  him  speak  blasphemous 
words  against  Moses,  and  against 
God.  12  And  they  stirred  up  the 
people,  and  the  elders,  and  the 
scribes,  and  came  upon  him,  and 
seized  him,  and  brought  him  into 
the  council,  13  and  set  up  false  wit- 
nesses, which  said.  This  man

6  These  they  set  before  the  apostles ; 
and  they  praying,  imposed  hands  upon

7  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  increased;

10  And  they  were  not  able  to  resist  the 
wisdom  and  the  spirit  that  spoke. 

11  Then  they  suborned  men  to  say,  they

12  And  they  stirred  up  the  people,  and

country,  and  from  thy  kindred,  and  come 
into  the  land  which  I  shall  shew  thee. 

4  Then  he  went  out  of  the  land  of  the 
Chaldeans,  and  dwelt  in  Charan.  And 
frgm  thence,  after  his  father  was  dead, 


40       AUTHORIZED 


THE  ACTS,  7. 


REVISED 


from  thence,  when  his  father  was  dead, 
he  removed  him  into  this  land,  wherein 
ye  now  dwell. 

5  And  he  gave  him  none  inheritance 
in  it,  no,  not  so  much  as  to  set  his  foot 
on :  yet  he  promised  that  he  would  give 
it  to  him  for  a  possession,  and  to  his 
seed  after  him,  when  as  yet  he  had  no 
child. 

6  And  God  spake  on  this  wise,  That 
his  seed  should  sojourn  in  a  strange  land ; 
and  that  they  should  bring  them  into 
bondage,  and  entreat  them  evil  four  hun- 
dred years. 

7  And  the  nation  to  whom  they  shall  be 
in  bondage  will  I  judge,  said  God:  and 
after  that  shall  they  come  forth,  and  serve 
me  in  this  place. 

8  And  he  gave  him  the  covenant  of 
circumcision:  and  so  Abraham  begat 
Isaac,  and  circumcised  him  the  eighth 
day;  and  Isaac  begat  Jacob;  and  Jacob 
begat  the  twelve  patriarchs. 

9  And  the  patriarchs,  moved  with  envy, 
sold  Joseph  into  Egypt :  but  God  was  with 
him, 

10  And  delivered  him  out  of  all  his 
afflictions,  and  gave  him  favour  and  wis- 
dom in  the  sight  of  Pharaoh  king  of 
Egypt;  and  he  made  him  governor  over 
Egypt  and  all  his  house. 

11  Now  there  came  a  dearth  over  all 
the  land  of  Egypt  and  Chanaan,  and  great 
affliction :  and  our  fathers  found  no  sus- 
tenance. 

12  But  when  Jacob  heard  that  there 
was  corn  in  Egypt,  he  sent  out  our 
fathers  first. 

13  And  at  the  second  time  Joseph  was 
made  known  to  his  brethren ;  and  Jo- 
seph's kindred  was  made  known  unto 
Pharaoh. 

14  Then  sent  Joseph,  and  called  his 
father  Jacob  to  him,  and  all  his  kindred, 
threescore  and  fifteen  souls. 

15  So  Jacob  went  down  into  Egypt, 
and  died,  he,  and  our  fathers, 

16  And  were  carried  over  into  Sychem, 
and  laid  in  the  sepulchre  that  Abraham 
bought  for  a  sum  of  money  of  the  sons 
of  Emmor  the  father  of  Sychem. 

17  But  when  the  time  of  the  promise 
drew  nigh,  which  God  had  sworn  to 
Abraham,  the  people  grew  and  multiplied 
in  Egypt, 

18  Till  another  king  arose,  which  knew 
not  Joseph. 

19  The  same  dealt  subtilly  with  our 
kindred,  and   evil   entreated  our   fathers, 


and  from  thence,  when  his  father 
was  dead,  God  removed  him  into 
this  land,  wherein  ye  now  dwell : 
5  and  he  gave  him  none  inheritance 
in  it,  no,  not  so  much  as  to  set  his 
foot  on :  and  he  promised  that  he 
would  give  it  to  him  in  possession, 
and  to  his  seed  after  him,  when  as 
yet  he  had  no  child.  6  And  God 
spake  on  this  wise,  that  his  seed 
should  sojourn  in  a  strange  land, 
and  that  they  should  bring  them 
into  bondage,  and  entreat  them 
evil,  four  hundred  years.  7  And 
the  nation  to  which  they  shall  be  in 
bondage  will  I  judge,  said  God: 
and  after  that  shall  they  come 
forth,  and  serve  me  in  this  place.

circumcision:  and  so  Abraham  be- 
gat Isaac,  and  circumcised  him  the 
eighth  day;  and  Isaac  begat  Jacob, 
and    Jacob    the    twelve    patriarchs. 

9  And  the  patriarchs,  moved  with 
jealousy  against  Joseph,  sold  him 
into  Egypt :  and  God  was  with 
him,  10  and  delivered  him  out  of 
all  his  afflictions,  and  gave  him  fa- 
vour and  wisdom  before  Pharaoh 
king  of  Egypt ;  and  he  made  him 
governor  over  Egypt  and  all  his 
house.  II  Now  there  came  a  fam- 
ine over  all  Egypt  and  Canaan, 
and  great  affliction :  and  our  fathers 
found  no  sustenance.  12  But  when 
Jacob  heard  that  there  was  corn  in 
Egypt,  he  sent  forth  our  fathers 
the  first  time.  13  And  at  the  sec- 
ond time  Joseph  was  made  known 
to  his  brethren ;  and  Joseph's  race 
became  manifest  unto  Pharaoh. 
14  And  Joseph  sent,  and  called  to 
him  Jacob  his  father,  and  all  his 
kindred,  threescore  and  fifteen 
souls.  15  And  Jacob  went  down 
into  Egypt;  and  he  died,  himself, 
and  our  fathers ;  16  and  they  were 
carried  over  unto  Shechem,  and 
laid  in  the  tomb  that  Abraham 
bought  for  a  price  in  silver  of  the 
sons  of  Hamor  in  Shechem.  17

and  from  thence,  when  his  father 
was  dead,  God  removed  him  into 
this  land,  wherein  ye  now  dwell : 
5  and  he  gave  him  none  inheritance 
m  it,  no,  not  so  much  as  to  set  his 
foot  on :  and  he  promised  that  he 
would  give  it  to  him  in  possession, 
and  to  his  seed  after  him,  when  as 
yet  he  had  no  child.  6  And  God 
spake  on  this  wise,  that  his  seed 
shoifld  sojourn  in  a  strange  land, 
and  that  they  should  bring  them 
into  bondage,  and  treat  them  ill, 
four  hundred  years.  7  And  the 
nation  to  which  they  shall  be  in 
bondage  will  I  judge,  said  God: 
and  after  that  shall  they  come 
forth,  and  serve  me  in  this  place. 
8  And  he  gave  him  the  covenant 
of  circumcision:  and  so  Abraham 
begat  Isaac,  and  circumcised  him 
the  eighth  day ;  and  Isaac  begat 
Jacob,  and  Jacob  the  twelve  patri- 
archs. 9  And  the  patriarchs,  moved 
with  jealousy  against  Joseph,  sold

him,  10  and  delivered  him  out  of 
all  his  afflictions,  and  gave  him 
favor  and  wisdom  before  Pharaoh 
king  of  Egypt ;  and  he  made  him 
governor  over  Egypt  and  all  his 
house.  II  Now  there  came  a 
famine  over  all  Egypt  and  Canaan, 
and  great  affliction :  and  our  fa- 
thers found  no  sustenance.  12  But 
when  Jacob  heard  that  there  was 
grain  in  Egypt,  he  sent  forth  our 
fathers  the  first  time.  13  And  at 
the  second  time  Joseph  was  made 
known  to  his  brethren ;  and  Jo- 
seph's race  became  manifest  unto 
Pharaoh.  14  And  Joseph  sent,  and 
called  to  him  Jacob  his  father,  and 
all  his  kindred,  *  threescore  and 
fifteen  souls.  15  And  Jacob  went 
down  into  Egypt ;  and  he  died, 
himself  and  our  fathers;  16  and 
they  were  carried  over  unto 
Shechem,  and  laid  in  the  tomb  that 
Abraham  bought  for  a  price  in 
silver  of  the  sons  of  Hamor  in 
Shechem.  17  But  as  the  time  of 
the  promise  drew  nigh  which  God 
vouchsafed  unto  Abraham,  the 
people  grew  and  multiplied  in 
Egypt.  18  till  there  arose  another 
king  over  Egypt,  who  knew  not 
Joseph.  19  The  same  dealt  craft- 
ily  with    our    race,    and    ill-treated 


he  removed  him  into  this  land,  wherein 
you  now  dwell. 

5  And  he  gave  him  no  inheritance  in  it; 
no,  not  the  pace  of  a  foot :  but  he  prom- 
ised to  give  it  him  in  possession,  and 
to  his  seed  after  him,  when  as  yet  he  had 
no  child. 

6  And  God  said  to  him:  That  his  seed 
should  sojourn  in  a  strange  country,  and 
that  they  should  bring  them  under  bond- 
age, and  treat  them  evil  four  hundred 
years. 

7  And  the  nation  which  they  shall  serve 
will  I  judge,  said  the  Lord;  and  after 
these  things  they  shall  go  out,  and  shall 
serve  me  in  this  place. 

8  And  he  gave  him  the  covenant  of 
circumcision,  and  so  he  begot  Isaac,  and 
circumcised  him  the  eighth  day;  and 
Isaac  begot  Jacob;  and  Jacob  the  twelve 
patriarchs. 

9  And  the  patriarchs,  through  envy, 
sold  Joseph  into  Egypt;  and  God  was 
with  him, 

ID  And  delivered  him  out  of  all  his 
tribulations:  and  he  gave  him  favour 
and  wisdom  in  the  sight  of  Pharao,  the 
king  of  Egypt;  and  he  appointed  him 
governor  over  Egypt,  and  over  all  his 
house. 

11  Now  there  came  a  famine  upon  all 
Egypt  and  Chanaan,  and  great  tribula- 
tion; and  our  fathers  found  no  food. 

12  But  when  Jacob  had  heard  that 
there  was  corn  in  Egypt,  he  sent  our 
fathers  first: 

13  And  at  the  second  time,  Joseph  was 
known  by  his  brethren,  and  his  kindred 
was  made  known  to  Pharao. 

14  And  Joseph  sending,  called  thither 
Jacob,  his  father,  and  all  his  kindred, 
seventy-five  souls. 

15  So  Jacob  went  down  into  Egypt; 
and  he  died,  and  our  fathers. 

16  And  they  were  translated  into  Si- 
chem,  and  were  laid  in  the  sepulchre, 
that  Abraham  bought  for  a  sum  of  money 
of  the  sons  of  Hemor,  the  son  of  Sichem. 

17  And  when  the  time  of  the  promise 
drew  near,  which  God  had  promised  to 
Abraham,  the  people  increased,  and  were 
multiplied  in  Egypt, 

18  Till  another  king  arose  in  Egypt,  who 
knew  not  Joseph. 

19  This  same  dealing  craftily  with  our 
race,  afflicted  our  fathers,  that  they 
should  expose  their  children,  to  the  end 
they  might  not  be  kept  alive. 

20  At  the  same  time  was  Moses  born,

so   that   they   cast   out   their  young  chil- 
dren, to  the  end  they  might  not  live. 

20  In  which  time  Moses  was  born,  and 
was  exceeding  fair,  and  nourished  up  in 
his  father's  house  three  months: 

21  And  when  he  was  cast  out,  Pha- 
raoh's daughter  took  him  up,  and  nour- 
ished him  for  her  own  son. 

22  And  Moses  was  learned  in  all  the 
wisdom  of  the  Egyptians,  and  was  mighty 
in  words  and  in  deeds. 

23  And  when  he  was  full  forty  years 
old,  it  came  into  his  heart  to  visit  his 
brethren  the  children  of  Israel. 

24  And  seeing  one  of  them  suffer 
wrong,  he  defended  him,  and  avenged 
him  that  was  oppressed,  and  smote  the 
Egyptian : 

25  For  he  supposed  his  brethren  would 
have  understood  how  that  God  by  his 
hand  would  deliver  them:  but  they  un- 
derstood not. 

26  And  the  next  day  he  shewed  him- 
self unto  them  as  they  strove,  and  would 
have  set  them  at  one  again,  saying,  Sirs, 
ye  are  brethren ;  why  do  ye  wrong  one 
to  another? 

27  But  he  that  did  his  neighbour 
wrong  thrust  him  away,  saying.  Who 
made  thee  a  ruler  and  a  judge  over  us? 

28  Wilt  thou  kill  me,  as  thou  diddest 
the  Egyptian  yesterday? 

29  Then  fled  Moses  at  this  saying, 
and  was  a  stranger  in  the  land  of  Madian, 
where  he  begat  two  sons. 

30  And  when  forty  years  were  expired, 
there  appeared  to  him  in  the  wilderness 
of  mount  Sina  an  angel  of  the  Lord  in  a 
flame  of  fire  in  a  bush. 

31  When  Moses  saw  it,  he  wondered 
at  the  sight :  and  as  he  drew  near  to  be- 
hold it,  the  voice  of  the  Lord  came  unto 
him, 

32  Saying,  I  am  the  God  of  thy 
fathers,  the  God  of  Abraham,  and  the 
God  of  Isaac,  and  the  God  of  Jacob. 
Then  Moses  trembled,  and  durst  not  be- 
hold. 

33  Then  said  the  Lord  to  him.  Put 
off  thy  shoes  from  thy  feet:  for  the 
place  where  thou  standest  is  holy  ground. 

34  I  have  seen,  I  have  seen  the  af- 
fliction of  my  people  which  is  in  Egypt, 
and  I  have  heard  their  groaning,  and  am 
come  down  to  deliver  them.  And  now 
come,  I  will  send  thee  into  Egypt. 

35  This  Moses  whom  they  refused, 
saying,  Who  made  thee  a  ruler  and  a 
judge?  the  same  did  God  send  to  he  a 


thers,  that  they  should  cast  out 
their  babes  to  the  end  they  might 
not  live.  20  At  which  season 
Moses  was  born,  and  was  exceed- 
ing fair ;  and  he  was  nourished 
three  months  in  his  father's  house : 

21  and  when  he  was  cast  out, 
Pharaoh's  daughter  took  him  up, 
and  nourished  him  for  her  own  son. 

22  And    Moses    was   instructed   in 
all   the  wisdom  of  the   Egyptians; 
and   he   was   mighty   in   his   words 
and  works.     23  But  when  he  was 
well-nigh   forty  years  old,  it  came 
into  his  heart  to  visit  his  brethren 
the  children  of  Israel.    24  And  see- 
ing one  of  them  suffer  wrong,  he 
defended    him,    and    avenged    him      | 
that    was    oppressed,    smiting    the      ' 
Egyptian :  25  and  he  supposed  that 
his   brethren   understood  how  that      ! 
God  by  his  hand  was  giving  them      ' 
deliverance ;    but    they    understood 
not.     26  And  the  day  following  he      , 
appeared  unto  them  as  they  strove, 
and   would   have   set   them   at   one 
again,  saying.  Sirs,  ye  are  brethren ;      ■ 
why  do  ye  wrong  one  to  another? 

27  But  he  that  did  his  neighbour 
wrong    thrust    him    away,    saying,      j 
Who  made  thee  a  ruler  and  a  judge      j 
over  us  ?    28  Wouldest  thou  kill  me,      : 
as  thou  killedst  the  Egyptian  yes- 
terday?   29  And  Moses  fled  at  this 
saying,  and  became  a  sojourner  in      ; 
the  land  of   Midian,  where  he  be-      \ 
gat  two  sons.     30  And  when  forty

36  He  brought  them  out,  after  that  he 
had  shewed  wonders  and  signs  in  the

the  wilderness  forty  years. 

Z"]  This  is  that  Moses,  which  said  unto 
the  children  of  Israel,  A  prophet  shall 
the  Lord  your  God  raise  up  unto  you  of 
your  brethren,  like  unto  me;  him  shall 
ye  hear. 

38  This  is  he,  that  was  in  the  church 
in  the  wilderness  with  the  angel  which 
spake  to  him  in  the  mount  Sina,  and  with 
our  fathers:  who  received  the  lively 
oracles  to  give  unto. us: 

39  To  whom  our  fathers  would  not 
obey,  but  thrust  him  from  them,  and  in 
their  hearts  turned  back  again  into 
Egypt, 

40  Saying  unto  Aaron,  Make  us  gods 
to  go  before  us :  for  as  for  this  Moses, 
which  brought  us  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt,  we  wot  not  what  is  become  of 
him. 

41  And  they  made  a  calf  in  those  days, 
and  offered  sacrifice  unto  the  idol,  and 
rejoiced  in  the  works  of  their  own 
hands. 

42  Then  God  turned,  and  gave  them  up 
to  worship  the  host  of  heaven ;  as  it  is 
written  in  the  book  of  the  prophets,  O  ye 
house  of  Israel,  have  ye  offered  to  me 
slain  beasts  and  sacrifices  by  the  space  of 
forty  years  in  the  wilderness? 

43  Yea,  ye  took  up  the  tabernacle  of 
Moloch,  and  the  star  of  your  god  Rem- 
phan,  figures  which  ye  made  to  worship 
them :  and  I  will  carry  you  away  beyond 
Babylon. 

44  Our  fathers  had  the  tabernacle  of 
witness  in  the  wilderness,  as  he  had  ap- 
pointed, speaking  unto  Moses,  that  he 
should  make  it  according  to  the  fashion 
that  he  had  seen. 

45  Which  also  our  fathers  that  came 
after  brought  in  with  Jesus  into  the  pos- 
session of  the  Gentiles,  whom  God  drave 
out  before  the  face  of  our  fathers,  unto 
the  days  of  David ; 

46  Who  found  favour  before  God,  and 
desired  to  find  a  tabernacle  for  the  God 
of  Jacob.

unto  the  children  of  Israel^  A 
prophet  shall  God  raise  up  unto 
you  from  among  your  brethren,  like 
unto  me.  38  This  is  he  that  was

forth  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  we 
wot  not  what  is  become  of  him. 
41  And  they  made  a  calf  in  those 
days,  and  brought  a  sacrifice  unto 
the  idol,  and  rejoiced  in  the  works 
of  their  hands.  42  But  God  turned, 
and  gave  them  up  to  serve  the 
host  of  heaven;  as  it  is  written  in 
the  book  of  the  prophets. 

Did  ye  offer  unto  me  slain  beasts 
and  sacrifices 

Forty  years  in  the  wilderness, 
O  house  of  Israel?

judge?  him  hath  God  sent  to  be 
both  a  ruler  and  a  dehverer  with

beasts  and  sacrifices 
Forty   years    in    the    wilderness, 

O   house   of   Israel?

of  Moloch, 

And  the  star  of  the  god  Re- 
phan. 

The  figures  which  ye  made  to 
worship  them: 

And  I  will  carry  you  away  be-

44  Our  fathers  had  the  tabernacle 
of  the  testimony  in  the  wilderness, 
even  as  he  appointed  who  spake 
unto  Moses,  that  he  should  make  it 
according  to  the  figure  that  he  had 
seen.  45  Which  also  our  fathers, 
in  their  turn,  brought  in  with 
Joshua  when  they  entered  on  the 
possession  of  the  nations,  that  God 
thrust  out  before  the  face  of  our 
fathers,  unto  the  days  of  David ; 
46  who  found  favor  in  the  sight 
of  God,  and  asked  to  find  a  habita- 
tion for  the  God  of  Jacob.    47  But 


36  He  brought  them  out,  doing  won- 
ders and  signs  in  the  land  of  Egypt,  and 
in  the  Red  Sea,  and  in  th€  desert  forty 
years. 

37  This  is  that  Moses  who  said  to  the 
children  of  Israel :  A  prophet  shall  God 
raise  up  to  you  of  your  own  brethren,  as 
myself:  him  shall  you  hear. 

38  This  is  he  that  was  in  the  church  in 
the  wilderness,  with  the  angel  who  spoke 
to  him  on  mount  Sina,  and  with  our  fa- 
thers; who  received  the  words  of  life  to 
give  unto  us. 

39  Whom  out  fathers  would  not  obey; 
but  thrust  him  away,  and  in  their  hearts 
turned  back  into  Egypt, 

40  Saying  to  Aaron :  Make  us  gods  to 
go  before  us.  For  as  for  this  Moses,  who 
brought  us  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  we 
know  not  what  is  become  of  him. 

41  And  they  made  a  calf  in  those  days, 
and  offered  sacrifices  to  the  idol,  and 
rejoiced  in  the  works  of  their  own 
hands. 

42  And  God  turned,  and  gave  them  up 
to  serve  the  host  of  heaven,  as  it  is  writ- 
ten in  the  books  of  the  prophets:  Did 
you  offer  victims  and  sacrifices  to  me  for 
forty  years,  in  the  desert,  O  house  of 
Israel f 

43  And  you  took  unto  you  the  taber- 
nacle of  Moloch,  and  the  star  of  your 
god  Rempham,  figures  which  you  made 
to  adore  them.  And  I  will  carry  you  away 
beyond  Babylon. 

44  The  tabernacle  of  the  testimony  was 
with  our  fathers  in  the  desert,  as  God  or- 
dained for  them,  speaking  to  Moses,, 
that  he  should  make  it  according  to  the 
form  which  he  had  seen. 

45  Which  also  our  fathers  receiving, 
brought  in  with  Jesus,  into  the  possession 
of  the  Gentiles,  whom  God  drove  out  be- 
fore the  face  of  our  fathers,  unto  the 
days  of  David.

desired  to  find  a  tabernacle  for  the  God

his    burial,   and    made    great    lamentation 
over  him. 

3  As  for  Saul,  he  made  havock  of  the 
church,  entering  into  every  house,  and 
haling  men  and  women  committed  them 
to  prison. 

4  Therefore  they  that  were  scattered 
abroad  went  every  where  preaching  the 
word. 

5  Then  Philip  went  down  to  the  city  of 
Samaria,  and  preached  Christ  unto  them. 

6  And  the  people  with  one  accord 
gave  heed  unto  those  things  which  Philip 
spake,  hearing  and  seeing  the  miracles 
which  he  did. 

7  For  unclean  spirits,  crying  with  loud 
voice,  came  out  of  many  that  were  pos- 
sessed with  them:  and  many  taken  with 
palsies,  and  that  were  lame,  were  healed. 

8  And  there  was  great  joy  in  that  city. 

9  But  there  was  a  certain  man,  called 
Simon,  which  beforetime  in  the  same 
city  used  sorcery,  and  bewitched  the  peo- 
ple of  Samaria,  giving  out  that  himself 
was  some  great  one : 

ID  To  whom  they  all  gave  heed,  from 
the  least  to  the  greatest,  saying.  This  man 
is  the  great  power  of  God. 

11  And  to  him  they  had  regard,  be- 
cause that  of  long  time  he  had  bewitched 
them  with  sorceries. 

12  But  when  they  believed  Philip 
preaching  the  things  concerning  the  king- 
dom of  God,  and  the  name  of  Jesus 
Christ,  they  were  baptized,  both  men  and 
women. 

13  Then  Simon  himself  believed  also: 
and  when  he  was  baptized,  he  continued 
with  Philip,  and  wondered,  beholding  the 
miracles  and  signs  which  were  done. 

14  Now  when  the  apostles  which  were 
at  Jerusalem  heard  that  Samaria  had  re- 
ceived the  word  of  God,  they  sent  unto 
them  Peter  and  John : 

15  Who,  when  they  were  come  down, 
prayed  for  them,  that  they  might  receive 
the  Holy  Ghost: 

16  (For  as  yet  he  was  fallen  upon  none 
of  them :  only  they  were  baptized  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord  Jesus.) 

17  Then  laid  they  their  hands  on  them, 
and  they  received  the  Holy  Ghost. 

18  And  when  Simon  saw  that  through 
laying  on  of  the  apostles'  hands  the  Holy 
Ghost  was  given,  he  offered  them  money, 

19  Saying,  Give  me  also  this  power, 
that  on  whomsoever  I  lay  hands,  he  may 
receive  the  Holy  Ghost. 

20  But  Peter  said  unto  him,  Thy  money 


devout  men  buried  Stephen,  and 
made  great  lamentation  over  him. 
3  But  Saul  laid  waste  the  church, 
entering  into  every  house,  and  hal- 
ing men  and  women  committed 
them  to  prison. 

4  They  therefore  that  were  scat- 
tered abroad  went  about  preaching 
the  word.  5  And  Philip  went  down 
to  the  city  of  Samaria,  and  pro- 
claimed unto  them  the  Christ. 
6  And  the  multitudes  gave  heed 
with  one  accord  unto  the  things 
that  were  spoken  by  Philip,  when 
they  heard,  and  saw  the  signs 
which  he  did.  7  For  from  many 
of  those  which  had  unclean  spirits, 
they  came  out,  crying  with  a  loud 
voice :  and  many  that  were  palsied, 
and  that  were  lame,  were  healed. 
8  And  there  was  much  joy  in  that 
city. 

9  But  there  was  a  certain  man, 
Simon  by  name,  which  beforetime 
in  the  city  used  sorcery,  and 
amazed  the  people  of  Samaria, 
giving  out  that  himself  was  some 
great  one :  10  to  whom  they  all 
gave  heed,  from  the  least  to  the 
greatest,  saying.  This  man  is  that 
power  of  God  which  is  called 
Great.  11  And  they  gave  heed 
to  him,  because  that  of  long  time 
he  had  amazed  them  with  his  sor- 
ceries. 12  But  when  they  believed 
Philip  preaching  good  tidings  con- 
cerning the  kingdom  of  God  and 
the  name  of  Jesus  Christ,  they 
were  baptized,  both  men  and  wo- 
men. 13  And  Simon  also  himself 
believed :  and  being  baptized,  he 
continued  with  Philip ;  and  be- 
holding signs  and  great  miracles 
wrought,  he  was  amazed. 

14  Now  when  the  apostles  which 
were  at  Jerusalem  heard  that  Sa- 
maria had  received  the  word  of 
God,  they  sent  unto  them  Peter 
and  John :  15  who,  when  they  were 
come  down,  prayed  for  them,  that 
they  might  receive  the  Holy  Ghost : 
16  for  as  yet  he  was  fallen  upon 
none  of  them :  only  they  had  been 
baptized  into  the  name  of  the  Lord 
Jesus.  17  Then  laid  they  their 
hands  on  them,  and  they  received 
the  Holy  Ghost.  18  Now  when

2  And  devout  men  buried  Stephen, 
and  made  great  lamentation  over 
him.  3  But  Saul  laid  waste  the 
church,  entering  into  every  house, 
and  dragging  men  and  women 
committed  them  to  prison. 

4  They  therefore  that  were  scat- 
tered abroad  went  about  preach- 
ing the  word.  5  And  Philip  went 
down  to  the  city  of  Samaria,  and 
proclaimed  unto  them  the  Christ. 
6  And  the  multitudes  gave  heed 
with  one  accord  unto  the  things 
that  were  spoken  by  Philip,  when 
they  heard,  and  saw  the  signs  which 
he  did.  7  For  from  many  of  those 
that  had  unclean  spirits,  they 
came  out,  crying  with  a  loud  voice : 
and  many  that  were  palsied,  and 
that  were  lame,  were  healed.  8 
And  there  was  much  joy  in  that 
city. 

9  But  there  was  a  certain  man, 
Simon  by  name,  who  beforetime  in 
the  city  used  sorcery,  and  amazed 
the  people  of  Samaria,  giving  out 
that  himself  was  some  great  one : 
lo  to  whom  they  all  gave  heed, 
from  the  least  to  the  greatest,  say- 
ing. This  man  is  that  power  of  God 
which  is  called  Great,  ii  And  they 
gave  heed  to  him,  because  that  of 
long  time  he  had  amazed  them 
with  his  sorceries.  12  But  when 
they  believed  Philip  preaching  good 
tidings  concerning  the  kingdom  of 
God  and  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ, 
they  were  baptized,  both  men  and 
women.  13  And  Simon  also  him- 
self believed :  and  being  baptized, 
he  continued  with  Philip ;  and  be- 
holding signs  and  great  miracles 
wrought,  he  was  amazed. 

14  Now  when  the  apostles  that 
were  at  Jerusalem  heard  that  Sa- 
maria had  received  the  word  of 
God,  they  sent  unto  them  Peter 
and  John:  15  who,  when  they  were 
come  down,  prayed  for  them,  that 
they  might  receive  the  Holy  Spirit : 
16  for  as  yet  it  was  fallen  upon 
none  of  them :  only  they  had  been 
baptized  into  the  name  of  the  Lord 
Jesus.  17  Then  laid  they  their 
hands  on  them,  and  they  received 
the  Holy  Spirit.  18  Now  when 
Simon  saw  that  through  the  laying 
on  of  the  apostles'  hands  the  Holy 
Spirit  was  given,  he  offered  them 


3  But  Saul  made  havock  of  the  church, 
entering  in  from  house  to  house,  and 
dragging  away  men  and  women,  com- 
mitted them  to  prison. 

4  They  therefore  that  were  dispersed, 
went  about  preaching  the  word  of  God. 

5  And  Philip  going  down  to  the  city  of 
Samaria,  preached  Christ  unto  them. 

6  And  the  people  with  one  accord  were 
attentive  to  those  things  which  were  said 
by  Philip,  hearing,  and  seeing  the  miracles 
which  he  did. 

7  For  many  of  them  who  had  unclean 
spirits,  crying  with  a  loud  voice,  went 
out. 

8  And  many,  taken  with  the  palsy,  and 
that  were  lame,  were  healed. 

9  There  was  therefore  great  joy  in  that 
city.  Now  there  was  a  certain  man  named 
Simon,  who  before  had  been  a  magician 
in  that  city,  seducing  the  people  of  Sa- 
maria, giving  out  that  he  was  some  great 
one : 

10  To  whom  they  all  gave  ear,  from  the 
least  to  the  greatest,  saying:  This  man  is 
the  power  of  God,  which  is  called  great. 

11  And  they  were  attentive  to  him,  be- 
cause, for  a  long  time,  he  had  bewitched 
them  with  his  magical  practices. 

12  But  when  they  had  believed  Philip 
preaching  of  the  kingdom  of  God,  in  the 
name  of  Jesus  Christ,  they  were  bap- 
tized, both  men  and  women. 

13  Then  Simon  himself  believed  also; 
and  being  baptized,  he  adhered  to  Philip. 
And  being  astonished,  wondered  to  see 
the  signs  and  exceeding  great  miracles 
which  were  done. 

14  Now  when  the  apostles,  who  were  in 
Jerusalem,  had  heard  that  Samaria  had 
received  the  word  of  God,  they  sent  unto 
them  Peter  and  John. 

15  Who,  when  they  were  come,  prayed 
for  them,  that  they  might  receive  the 
Holy  Ghost. 

16  For  he  was  not  as  yet  come  upon  any 
of  them;  but  they  were  only  baptized  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

17  Then  they  laid  their  hands  upon 
them,  and  they  received  the  Holy  Ghost. 

18  And  when  Simon  saw,  that  by  the 
imposition  of  the  hands  of  the  apostles, 
the  Holy  Ghost  was  given,  he  offered 
them  money, 

19  Saying:  Give  me  also  this  power, 
that  on  whomsoever  I  shall  lay  my  hands, 
he  may  receive  the  Holy  Ghost.  But 
Peter  said  to  him :

chased with  money. 

21  Thou  hast  neither  part  nor  lot  in

the  sight  of  God. 

22  Repent  therefore  of  this  thy  wick- 
edness, and  pray  God,  if  perhaps  the 
thought  of  thine  heart  may  be  forgiven 
thee. 

23  For  I  perceive  that  thou  art  in  the 
gall  of  bitterness,  and  in  the  bond  of 
iniquity. 

24  Then  answered  Simon,  and  said, 
Pray  ye  to  the  Lord  for  me,  that  none 
of  these  things  which  ye  have  spoken 
come  upon  me. 

25  And  they,  when  they  had  testified 
and  preached  the  word  of  the  Lord,  re- 
turned to  Jerusalem,  and  preached  the 
gospel  in  many  villages  of  the  Samari- 
tans. 

26  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Philip,  saying.  Arise,  and  go  toward 
the  south  unto  the  way  that  goeth  down 
from  Jerusalem  unto  Gaza,  which  is 
desert. 

27  And  he  arose  and  went :  and,  behold, 
a  man  of  Ethiopia,  an  eunuch  of  great 
authority  under  Candace  queen  of  the 
Ethiopians,  who  had  the  charge  of  all 
her  treasure,  and  had  come  to  Jerusalem 
for  to  worship, 

28  Was  returning,  and  sitting  in  his 
chariot  read  Esaias  the  prophet. 

29  Then  the  Spirit  said  unto  Philip, 
Go  near,  and  join  thyself  to  this  chariot. 

30  And  Philip  ran  thither  to  him,  and 
heard  him  read  the  prophet  Esaias,  and 
said,  Understandest  thou  what  thou 
readest  ? 

31  And  he  said,  How  can  I,  except 
some  man  should  guide  me?  And  he  de- 
sired Philip  that  he  would  come  up  and 
sit  with  him. 

32  The  place  of  the  scripture  which  he 
read  was  this.  He  was  led  as  a  sheep  to 
the  slaughter;  and  like  a  lamb  dumb  be- 
fore his  shearer,  so  opened  he  not  his 
mouth : 

3S  In  his  humiliation  his  judgment  was 
taken  away:  and  who  shall  declare  his 
generation?  for  his  life  is  taken  from 
the  earth. 

34  And  the  eunuch  answered  Philip, 
and  said,  I  pray  thee,  of  whom  speaketh 
the  prophet  this?  of  himself,  or  of  some 
other  man? 

35  Then  Philip  opened  his  mouth,  and 


Ghost  was  given,  he  offered  them 
money,  19  saying.  Give  me  also 
this  power,  that  on  whomsoever  I 
lay  my  hands,  he  may  receive  the 
Holy  Ghost.  20  But  Peter  said 
unto  him.  Thy  silver  perish  with 
thee,  because  thou  hast  thought  to 
obtain  the  gift  of  God  with  money. 
21  Thou  hast  neither  part  nor  lot  in 
this  matter:  for  thy  heart  is  not 
right  before  God.  22  Repent  there- 
fore of  this  thy  wickedness,  and 
pray  the  Lord,  if  perhaps  the 
thought  of  thy  heart  shall  be  for- 
given thee.  23  For  I  see  that  thou 
art  in  the  gall  of  bitterness  and 
in  the  bond  of  iniquity.  24  And 
Simon  answered  and  said.  Pray 
ye  for  me  to  the  Lord,  that  none  of 
the  things  which  ye  have  spoken 
come  upon  me. 

25  They  therefore,  when  they  had 
testified  and  spoken  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  returned  to  Jerusalem, 
and  preached  the  gospel  to  many 
villages  of  the  Samaritans.

way  that  goeth  down  from  Jerusa- 
lem unto  Gaza:  the  same  is  desert.

hold, a  man  of  Ethiopia,  a  eunuch 
of  great  authority  under  Candace, 
queen  of  the  Ethiopians,  who  was 
over  all  her  treasure,  who  had  come 
to  Jerusalem  for  to  worship ;  28  and 
he  was  returning  and  sitting  in  his 
chariot,  and  was  reading  the 
prophet  Isaiah.  29  And  the  Spirit 
said  unto  Philip,  Go  near,  and  join 
thyself  to  this  chariot.  30  And 
Philip  ran  to  him,  and  heard  him

forgiven  thee. 

23  For  I  see  thou  art  in  the  gall  of  bit-

you  for  me  to  the  Lord,  that  none  of 
these  things  which  you  have  spoken  may 
come  upon  me. 

25  And  they  indeed  having  testified  and 
preached  the  word  of  the  Lord,  returned 
to  Jerusalem,  and  preached  the  gospel  to

27  And  rising  up,  he  went.  And  behold 
a  man  of  Ethiopia,  an  eunuch,  of  great 
authority  under  Candace  the  queen  of 
the  Ethiopians,  who  had  charge  over  all 
her  treasures,  had  come  to  Jerusalem  to 
adore.

near,  and  join  thyself  to  this  chariot. 

30  And  Philip  running  thither,  heard 
him  reading  the  prophet  Isaias.  And  he 
said :  Thinkest  thou  that  thou  under- 
standest what  thou  readest? 

31  Who  said:  And  how  can  I,  unless

Philip  that  he  would  come  up  and  sit

32  And  the  place  of  the  scripture  which 
he  was  reading  was  this:  He  was  led  as

AND  Saul,  yet  breathing  out  threat-

disciples  of  the  Lord,  went  unto  the  high 
priest,

Damascus  to  the  synagogues,  that  if  he 
found  any  of  this  way,  whether  they  were 
men  or  women,  he  might  bring  them

And  the  Lord  said,  I  am  Jesus  whom 
thou  persecutest:  it  is  hard  for  thee  to 
kick  against  the  pricks. 

6  And  he  trembling  and  astonished  said, 
Lord,  what  wilt  thou  have  me  to  do? 
And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Arise,  and 
go  into  the  city,  and  it  shall  be  told  thee 
what  thou  must  do.

the  chariot  to  stand  still :  and  they 
both  went  down  into  the  water,  both 
Philip  and  the  eunuch  ;  and  he  bap- 
tized him.  39  And  when  they  came 
up  out  of  the  water,  the  Spirit  of 
the  Lord  caught  away  Philip ;  and 
the  eunuch  saw  him  no  more,  for

said:  See,  here  is  water:  what  doth  hin- 
der me  from  being  baptized? 

37  And  Philip  said:  If  thou  believest 
with  all  thy  heart,  thou  mayest.  And  he 
answering,  said:  I  believe  that  Jesus 
Christ  is  the  Son  of  God. 

38  And  he  commanded  the  chariot  to 
stand  still;  and  they  went  down  into  the 
water,  both  Philip  and  the  eunuch:  and 
he  baptized  him. 

39  And  when  they  were  come  up  out  of 
the  water,  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  took 
away  Philip;  and  the  eunuch  saw  him  no 
more.  And  he  went  on  his  way  rejoic- 
ing.

passing  through,  he  preached  the  gospel 
to  all  the  cities,  till  he  came  to  Caesarea. 


T3UT  Saul,  yet  breathing 
9-D  threatening  and  slaughter 
against  the  disciples  of  the  Lord, 
went  unto  the  high  priest,  2  and 
asked  of  him  letters  to  Damascus 
unto  the  synagogues,  that  if  he 
found  any  that  were  of  the  Way, 
whether  men  or  women,  he  might 
bring  them  bound  to  Jerusalem.  3 
And  as  he  journeyed,  it  came  to 
pass  that  he  drew  nigh  unto  Da- 
mascus:  and  suddenly  there  shone 
round  about  him  a  light  out  of 
heaven:  4  and  he  fell  upon  the 
earth,  and  heard  a  voice  saying  unto 
him,  Saul,  Saul,  why  persecutest 
thou  me?  5  And  he  said,  Who 
art  thou,  Lord?  And  he  said,  I 
am  Jesus  whom  thou  persecutest : 
6  but  rise,  and  enter  into  the  city, 
and  it  shall  be  told  thee  what  thou 
must  do.  7  And  the  men  that  jour- 
neyed with  him  stood  speechless, 
hearing  the  voice,  but  beholding  no 
man.  8  And  Saul  arose  from  the 
earth ;  and  when  his  eyes  were 
opened,  he  saw  nothing;  and  they 
led  him  by  the  hand,  and  brought 
him  into  Damascus.    9  And  he  was 


CHAPTER  9. 

AND  Saul,  as  yet  breathing  out  threat- 
enings  and  slaughter  against  the 
disciples  of  the  Lord,  went  to  the  high 
priest, 

2  And  asked  of  him  letters  to  Damas- 
cus, to  the  synagogues:  that  if  he  found 
any  men  and  women  of  this  way,  he  might 
bring  them  bound  to  Jerusalem. 

3  And  as  he  went  on  his  journey,  it 
came  to  pass  that  he  drew  nigh  to  Damas- 
cus; and  suddenly  a  light  from  heaven 
shined  round  about  him. 

4  And  falling  on  the  ground,  he  heard 
a  voice  saying  to  him:  Saul,  Saul,  why 
persecutest  thou  me? 

5  Who  said :  Who  art  thou,  Lord?  And 
he :  I  am  Jesus  whom  thou  persecutest. 
It  is  hard  for  thee  to  kick  against  the 
goad. 

6  And  he  trembling  and  astonished, 
said:  Lord,  what  wilt  thou  have  me  to 
do? 

7  And  the  Lord  said  to  him :  Arise,  and 
go  into  the  city,  and  there  it  shall  be  told 
thee  what  thou  must  do.  Now  the  men 
who  went  in  company  with  him,  stood 
amazed,  hearing  indeed  a  voice,  but  see- 
ing no  man. 

8  And  Saul  arose  from  the  ground ;  and 
when  his  eyes  were  opened,  he  saw  noth-

man :  but  they  led  him  by  the  hand,  and 
brought  him  into  Damascus. 

9  And  he  was  three  days  without  sight, 
and  neither  did  eat  nor  drink. 

10  And  there  was  a  certain  disciple 
at  Damascus,  named  Ananias ;  and  to  him 
said  the  Lord  in  a  vision,  Ananias.  And 
he  said,  Behold,  I  am  here,  Lord. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Arise, 
and  go  into  the  street  which  is  called 
Straight,  and  enquire  in  the  house  of 
Judas  for  one  called  Saul,  of  Tarsus : 
for,  behold,  he  prayeth, 

12  And  hath  seen  in  a  vision  a  man 
named  Ananias  coming  in,  and  putting 
his  hand  on  him,  that  he  might  receive 
his  sight. 

13  Then  Ananias  answered.  Lord,  I 
have  heard  by  many  of  this  man,  how 
much  evil  he  hath  done  to  thy  saints  at 
Jerusalem : 

14  And  here  he  hath  authority  from 
the  chief  priests  to  bind  all  that  call  on 
thy  name. 

15  But  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Go  thy 
way:  for  he  is  a  chosen  vessel  unto  me, 
to  bear  my  name  before  the  Gentiles,  and 
kings,  and  the  children  of  Israel : 

16  For  I  will  shew  him  how  great 
things  he  must  suffer  for  my  name's  sake. 

17  And  Ananias  went  his  way,  and  en- 
tered into  the  house ;  and  putting  his 
hands  on  him  said,  Brother  Saul,  the 
Lord,  even  Jesus,  that  appeared  unto  thee 
in  the  way  as  thou  camest,  hath  sent  me, 
that  thou  mightest  receive  thy  sight,  and 
be  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

18  And  immediately  there  fell  from  his 
eyes  as  it  had  been  scales :  and  he  re- 
ceived sight  forthwith,  and  arose,  and  was 
baptized. 

19  And  when  he  had  received  meat,  he 
was  strengthened.  Then  was  Saul  cer- 
tain days  with  the  disciples  which  were 
at  Damascus. 

20  And  straightway  he  preached  Christ  in 
the  synagogues,  that  he  is  the  Son  of  God. 

21  But  all  that  heard  him  were  amazed, 
and  said;  Is  not  this  he  that  destroyed 
them  which  called  on  this  name  in  Jeru- 
salem, and  came  hither  for  that  intent, 
that  he  might  bring  them  bound  unto  the 
chief  priests? 

22  But  Saul  increased  the  more  in 
strength,  and  confounded  the  Jews 
which  dwelt  at  Damascus,  proving  that 
this  is  very  Christ. 

23  And  after  that  many  days  were  ful- 
filled, the  Jews  took  counsel  to  kill  him: 


three  days  without  sight,  and  did 
neither  eat  nor  drink. 

.10  Now  there  was  a  certain  disci- 
ple at  Damascus,  named  Ananias; 
and  the  Lord  said  unto  him  in  a  vi- 
sion, Ananias.  And  he  said.  Be- 
hold, I  am  here,  Lord.  11  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  him.  Arise,  and  go 
to  the  street  which  is  called 
Straight,  and  inquire  in  the  house 
of  Judas  for  one  named  Saul,  a 
man  of  Tarsus:  for  behold,  he 
prayeth;  12  and  he  hath  seen  a 
man  named  Ananias  coming  in,  and 
laying  his  hands  on  him,  that  he 
might  receive  his  sight.  13  But 
Ananias  answered.  Lord,  I  have 
heard  from  many  of  this  man, 
how  much  evil  he  did  to  thy  saints 
at  Jerusalem:  14  and  here  he  hath 
authority  from  the  chief  priests  to 
bind  all  that  call  upon  thy  name.' 
15  But  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Go 
thy  way :  for  he  is  a  chosen  ves- 
sel unto  me,  to  bear  my  name  be- 
fore the  Gentiles  and  kings,  and  the 
children  of  Israel :  16  for  I  will 
shew  him  how  many  things  he 
must    suffer    for    my    name's    sake. 

17  And  Ananias  departed,  and  en- 
tered into  the  house ;  and  laying 
his  hands  on  him  said.  Brother 
Saul,  the  Lord,  even  Jesus,  who 
appeared  unto  thee  in  the  way 
which  thou  camest,  hath  sent  me, 
that  thou  mayest  receive  thy  sight, 
and  be  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

18  And  straightway  there  fell  from 
his  eyes  as  it  were  scales,  and  he 
received  his  sight;  and  he  arose 
and  was  baptized ;  19  and  he  took 
food  and  was  strengthened. 

And  he  was  certain  days  with 
the  disciples  which  were  at  Damas- 
cus. 20  And  straightway  in  the 
synagogues  he  proclaimed  Jesus, 
that  he  is  the  Son  of  God.  21  And 
all  that  heard  him  were  amazed, 
and  said.  Is  not  this  he  that  in 
Jerusalem  made  havock  of  them 
which  called  on  this  name?  and  he 
had  come  hither  for  this  intent,  that 
he  might  bring  them  bound  before 
the  chief  priests.  22  But  Saul  in- 
creased the  more  in  strength,  and 
confounded  the  Jews  which  dwelt 
at  Damascus,  proving  that  this  is 
the  Christ. 

23  And  when  many  days  were  ful-

three  days  without  sight,  and  did 
neither  eat  nor  drink. 

10  Now  there  was  a  certain  dis- 
ciple at  Damascus,  named  Ananias; 
and  the  Lord  said  unto  him  in  a 
vision,  Ananias.  And  he  said.  Be- 
hold, I  am  here,  Lord,  ii  And  the 
Lord  said  unto  him.  Arise,  and  go  to 
the  street  which  is  called  Straight, 
and  inquire  in  the  house  of  Judas 
for  one  named  Saul,  a  man  of 
Tarsus :  for  behold,  he  prayeth ;  12 
and  he  hath  seen  a  man  named 
Ananias  coming  in,  and  laying  his 
hands  on  him,  that  he  might  re- 
ceive his  sight.  13  But  Ananias 
answered.  Lord,  I  have  heard  from 
many  of  this  man,  how  much  evil 
he  did  to  thy  saints  at  Jerusalem: 
14  and  here  he  hath  authority  from 
the  chief  priests  to  bind  all  that 
call  upon  thy  name.  15  But  the 
Lord  said  unto  him.  Go  thy  way: 
for  he  is  a  chosen  vessel  unto  me, 
to  bear  my  name  before  the  Gen- 
tiles and  kings,  and  the  children  of 
Israel :  16  for  I  will  show  him  how 
many  things  he  must  suffer  for  my 
name's  sake.  17  And  Ananias  de- 
parted, and  entered  into  the  house ; 
and  laying  his  hands  on  him  said. 
Brother  Saul,  the  Lord,  even  Jesus, 
who  appeared  unto  thee  in  the  way 
which  thou  camest,  hath  sent  me, 
that  thou  mayest  receive  thy  sight, 
and  be  filled  with  the  Holy  Spirit. 
18  And  straightway  there  fell  from 
his  eyes  as  it  were  scales,  and  he 
received  his  sight;  and  he  arose 
and  was  baptized ;  19  and  he  took 
food  and  was  strengthened. 

And  he  was  certain  days  with 
the  disciples  that  were  at  Damas- 
cus. 20  And  straightway  in  the 
synagogues  he  proclaimed  Jesus, 
that  he  is  the  Son  of  God.  21  And 
all  that  heard  him  were  amazed, 
and  said.  Is  not  this  he  that  in 
Jerusalem  made  havoc  of  them  that 
called  on  this  name?  and  he  had 
come  hither  for  this  intent,  that 
he  might  bring  them  bound  iDefore 
the  chief  priests.  22  But  Saul  in- 
creased the  more  in  strength,  and 
confounded  the  Jews  that  dwelt  at 
Damascus,  proving  that  this  is  the 
Christ. 

23  And  when  many  days  were 
fulfilled,  the  Jews  took  counsel  to- 


ing.     But  they  leading  him  by  the  hands, 
brought  him  to  Damascus. 

9  And  he  was  there  three  days,  with- 
out sight,  and  he  did  neither  eat  nor 
drink. 

10  Now  there  was  a  certain  disciple  at 
Damascus,  named  Ananias.  And  the 
Lord  said  to  him  in  a  vision:  Ananias. 
And  he  said :  Behold  I  am  here.  Lord. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  to  him:  Arise, 
and  go  into  the  street  that  is  called  Strait, 
and  seek  in  the  house  of  Judas,  one 
named  Saul  of  Tarsus.  For  behold  he 
prayeth. 

12  (And  he  saw  a  man  named  Ananias 
coming  in,  and  putting  his  hands  upon 
him,  that  he  might  receive  his  sight.) 

13  But  Ananias  answered :  Lord,  I  have 
heard  by  many  of  this  man,  how  much 
evil  he  hath  done  to  thy  saints  in  Jeru- 
salem. 

'  14  And  here  he  hath  authority  from  the 
chief  priests  to  bind  all  that  invoke  thy 
name. 

15  And  the  Lord  said  to  him:  Go  thy 
way;  for  this  man  is  to  me  a  vessel  of 
election,  to  carry  my  name  before  the 
Gentiles,  and  kings,  and  the  children  of 
Israel. 

16  For  I  will  shew  him  how  great  things 
he  must  suffer  for  my  name's  sake. 

17  And  Ananias  went  his  way,  and  en- 
tered into  the  house.  And  laying  his 
hands  upon  him,  he  said:  Brother  Saul, 
the  Lord  Jesus  hath  sent  me,  he  that  ap- 
peared to  thee  in  the  way  as  thou  cam- 
est; that  thou  mayest  receive  thy  sight, 
and  be  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

18  And  immediately  there  fell  from  his 
eyes  as  it  were  scales,  and  he  received 
his  sight;  and  rising  up,  he  was  bap- 
tized. 

19  And  when  he  had  taken  meat,  he 
was  strengthened.  And  he  was  with  the 
disciples  that  were  at  Damascus,  for  some 
days. 

20  And  immediately  he  preached  Jesus 
in  the  synagogues,  that  he  is  the  Son  of 
God. 

21  And  all  that  heard  him,  were  aston- 
ished, and  said :  Is  not  this  he  who  per- 
secuted in  Jerusalem  those  that  called 
upon  this  name :  and  came  hither  for 
that  intent,  that  he  might  carry  them 
bound  to  the  chief  priests? 

22  But  Saul  increased  much  more  in 
strength,  and  confounded  the  Jews  who 
dwelt  at  Damascus,  affirming  that  this  is 
the  Christ.

24  But  their  laying  await  was  known 
of  Saul.  And  they  watched  the  gates 
day  and  night  to  kill  him. 

25  Then  the  disciples  took  him  by 
night,  and  let  him  down  by  the  wall  in  a 
basket. 

26  And  when  Saul  was  come  to  Jeru- 
salem, he  assayed  to  join  himself  to  the 
disciples :  but  they  were  all  afraid  of  him, 
and  believed  not  that  he  was  a  disciple. 

27  But  Barnabas  took  him,  and 
brought  him  to  the  apostles,  and  de- 
clared unto  them  how  he  had  seen  the 
Lord  in  the  way,  and  that  he  had  spoken 
to  him,  and  how  he  had  preached  boldly 
at  Damascus  in  the  name  of  Jesus. 

28  And  he  was  with  them  coming  in 
and  going  out  at  Jerusalem. 

29  And  he  spake  boldly  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  disputed  against 
the  Grecians:  but  they  went  about  to 
slay  him. 

30  Which  when  the  brethren  knew, 
they  brought  him  down  to  Caesarea,  and 
sent  him  forth  to  Tarsus. 

31  Then  had  the  churches  rest  through- 
out all  Judaea  and  Galilee  and  Samaria, 
and  were  edified;  and  walking  in  the 
fear  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the  comfort  of 
the  Holy  Ghost,  were  multiplied. 

32  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  Peter 
passed  throughout  all  quarters,  he  came 
down  also  to  the  saints  which  dwelt  at 
Lydda. 

3Z  And  there  he  found  a  certain  man 
named  yEneas,  which  had  kept  his  bed 
eight  years,  and  was  sick  of  the  palsy. 

34  And  Peter  said  unto  him,  ^neas^ 
Jesus  Christ  maketh  thee  whole:  arise, 
and  make  thy  bed.  And  he  arose  im- 
mediately. 

35  And  all  that  dwelt  at  Lydda  and 
Saron  saw  him,  and  turned  to  the 
Lord. 

36  Now  there  was  at  Joppa  a  certain 
disciple  named  Tabitha,  which  by  in- 
terpretation is  called  Dorcas:  this  woman 
was  full  of  good  works  and  almsdeeds 
which  she  did. 

37  And  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days, 
that  she  was  sick,  and  died:  whom  when 
they  had  washed,  they  laid  her  in  an 
upper  chamber. 

38  And  forasmuch  as  Lydda  was  nigh 
to  Joppa,  and  the  disciples  had  heard  that 
Peter  was  there,  they  sent  unto  him  two 
men,  desiring  him  that  he  would  not  de- 
lay to  come  to  them. 

39  Then    Peter   arose   and   went   with 


filled,  the  Jews  took  counsel  to- 
gether to  kill  him :  24  but  their  plot 
became  known  to  Saul.  And  they 
watched  the  gates  also  day  and 
night  that  they  might  kill  him:  25 
but  his  disciples  took  him  by  night, 
and  let  him  down  through  the  wall, 
lowering  him  in  a  basket. 

26  And  when  he  was  come  to 
Jerusalem,  he  assayed  to  join  him- 
self to  the  disciples :  and  they  were 
all  afraid  of  him,  not  believing  that 
he  was  a  disciple.  27  But  Barna- 
bas took  him,  and  brought  him  to

Jesus.  28  And  he  was  with  them 
going  in  and  going  out  at  Jerusa- 
lem, 29  preaching  boldly  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord :  and  he  spake  and  dis- 
puted against  the  Grecian  Jews; 
but  they  went  about  to  kill  him. 
30  And  when  the  brethren  knew  it, 
they  brought  him  down  to  Caesarea, 
and  sent  him  forth  to  Tarsus. 

31  So  the  church  throughout  all 
Judaea  and  Galilee  and  Samaria  had 
peace,  being  edified;  and,  walking

down  also  to  the  saints  which  dwelt 
at  Lydda.  ZZ  And  there  he  found 
a  certain  man  named  ^neas,  which 
had  kept  his  bed  eight  years;  for 
he  was  palsied.  34  And  Peter  said 
unto  him,  ^neas,  Jesus  Christ  heal-

all  that  dwelt  at  Lydda  and  in 
Sharon  saw  him,  and  they  turned  to

eth  thee:  arise,  and  make  thy  bed. 
And  straightway  he  arose.  35  And 
all  that  dwelt  at  Lydda  and  in 
Sharon  saw  him,  and  they  turned 
to  the  Lord. 

36  Now  there  was  at  Joppa  a 
certain  disciple  named  Tabitha, 
which  by  interpretation  is  called 
Dorcas :  this  woman  was  full  of 
good  works  and  almsdeeds  which 
she  did.  37  And  it  came  to  pass 
in  those  days,  that  she  fell  sick, 
and  died:  and  when  they  had 
washed  her,  they  laid  her  in  an 
upper  chamber.  38  And  as  Lydda 
was  nigh  unto  Joppa,  the  disciples, 
hearing  that  Peter  was  there,  sent 


23  And  when  many  days  were  passed, 
the  Jews  consulted  together  to  kill  him. 

24  But  their  laying  in  wait  was  made 
known  to  Saul.  And  they  watched  the 
gates  also  day  and  night,  that  they  might 
kill  him. 

25  But  the  disciples  taking  him  in  the 
night,  conveyed  him  away  by  the  wall, 
letting  him  down  in  a  basket. 

26  And  when  he  was  come  into  Jerusa- 
lem, he  essayed  to  join  himself  to  the 
disciples;  and  they  all  were  afraid  of 
him,  not  believing  that  he  was  a  dis- 
ciple. 

27  But  Barnabas  took  him,  and  brought 
him  to  the  apostles,  and  told  them  how 
he  had  seen  the  Lord,  and  that  he  had 
spoken  to  him;  and  how  in  Damascus  he 
had  dealt  confidently  in  the  name  of 
Jesus. 

28  And  he  v^as  with  them  coming  in 
and  going  out  in  Jerusalem,  and  dealing 
confidently  in  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

29  He  spoke  also  to  the  Gentiles,  and 
disputed  with  the  Greeks;  but  they 
sought  to  kill  him. 

30  Which  when  the  brethren  had  known, 
they  brought  him  down  to  Caesarea,  and 
sent  him  away  to  Tarsus. 

31  Now  the  church  had  peace  through- 
out all  Judea,  and  Galilee,  and  Samaria; 
and  was  edified,  walking  in  the  fear  of 
the  Lord,  and  was  filled  with  the  conso- 
lation of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

32  And  it  came  to  pass  that  Peter,  as  he 
passed  through,  visiting  all,  came  to  the 
saints  who  dwelt  at  Lydda. 

33  And  he  found  there  a  certain  man 
named  Eneas,  who  had  kept  his  bed  for 
eight  years,  who  was  ill  of  the  palsy. 

34  And  Peter  said  to  him :  Eneas,  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ  healeth  thee:  arise, 
and  make  thy  bed.  And  immediately  he 
arose. 

35  And  all  that  dwelt  at  Lydda  and 
Saron,  saw  him :  who  were  converted  to 
the  Lord. 

36  And  in  Joppe  there  was  a  certain 
disciple  named  Tabitha,  which  by  inter- 
pretation is  called  Dorcas.  This  woman 
was  full  of  good  works  and  almsdeeds 
which  she  did. 

37  And  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days 
that  she  was  sick,  and  died.  Whom  when 
they  had  washed,  they  laid  her  in  an 
upper  chamber. 

38  And  forasmuch  as  Lydda  was  nigh 
to  Joppe,  the  disciples  hearing  that  Peter 
was  there,  sent  unto  him  two  men,  desir-

them.  When  he  was  come,  they  brought 
him  into  the  upper  chamber :  and  all  the 
widows  stood  by  him  weeping,  and 
shewing  the  coats  and  garments  which 
Dorcas  made,  while  she  was  with  them. 

40  But  Peter  put  them  all  forth,  and 
kneeled  down,  and  prayed;  and  turning 
him  to  the  body  said,  Tabitha,  arise.  And 
she  opened  her  eyes :  and  when  she  saw 
Peter,  she   sat   up. 

41  And  he  gave  her  his  hand,  and  lifted 
her  up,  and  when  he  had  called  the  saints 
and  widows,  presented  her  alive. 

42  And  it  was  known  throughout  all 
Joppa;  and  many  believed  in  the  Lord. 

43  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  he  tar- 
ried many  days  in  Joppa  with  one  Simon 
a  tanner. 


CHAPTER  10. 

THERE  was  a  certain  man  in  Caesarea 
called  Cornelius,  a  centurion  of  the 
band  called  the  Italian  band, 

2  A  devout  man,  and  one  that  feared 
God  with  all  his  house,  which  gave  much 
alms  to  the  people,  and  prayed  to  God 
alway. 

3  He  saw  in  a  vision  evidently  about 
the  ninth  hour  of  the  day  an  angel  of 
God  coming  in  to  him,  and  saying  unto 
him,   Cornelius. 

4  And  when  he  looked  on  him,  he  was 
afraid,  and  said,  What  is  it,  Lord?  And 
he  said  unto  him,  Thy*  prayers  and  thine 
alms  are  come  up  for  a  memorial  before 
God. 

5  And  now  send  men  to  Joppa,  and 
call  for  one  Simon,  whose  surname  is 
Peter : 

6  He  lodgeth  with  one  Simon  a  tan- 
ner, whose  house  is  by  the  sea  side :  he 
shall  tell  thee  what  thou  oughtest  to  do. 

7  And  when  the  angel  which  spake  unto 
Cornelius  was  departed,  he  called  two  of 
his  household  servants,  and  a  devout  sol- 
dier of  them  that  waited  on  him  con- 
tinually ; 

8  And  when  he  had  declared  all  these 
things  unto  them,  he  sent  them  to  Joppa. 

9  On  the  morrow,  as  they  went  on 
their  journey,  and  drew  nigh  unto  the 
city,  Peter  went  up  upon  the  housetop 
to  pray  about  the  sixth  hour: 

}0   And   he  became   very   hungry,   and 


men  unto  him,  intreating  him,  De- 
lay not  to  come  on  unto  us.  39  And 
Peter  arose  and  went  with  them. 
And  when  he  was  come,  they 
brought  him  into  the  upper  cham- 
ber :  and  all  the  widows  stood  by 
him  weeping,  and  shewing  the  coats 
and  garments  which  Dorcas  made, 
while  she  was  with  them.  40  But 
Peter  put  them  all  forth,  and 
kneeled  down,  and  prayed ;  and 
turning  to  the  body,  he  said,  Tab- 
itha, arise.  And  she  opened  her 
eyes ;  and  when  she  saw  Peter,  she 
sat  up.  41  And  he  gave  her  his 
hand,  and  raised  her  up ;  and  calling 
the  saints  and  widows,  he  presented 
her  alive.  42  And  it  became  known 
throughout  all  Joppa:  and  many

of  that  which  is  called  the  Italian  band; 

2  A  religious  man,  and  fearing  God  with 
all  his  house,  giving  much  alms  to  the-

about  the  ninth  hour  of  the  day,  an 
angel  of  God  coming  in  unto  him,  and 
saying  to  him :  Cornelius. 

4  And  he,  beholding  him,  being  seized 
with  fear,  said:  What  is  it,  Lord?  And 
he  said  to  him:  Thy  prayers  and  thy 
alms  are  ascended  for  a  memorial  in  the 
sight  of  God. 

5  And  now  send  men  to  Joppe,  and 
call  hither  one  Simon,  who  is  surnamed

nigh  to  the  city,  Peter  went  up  to  the

the  sixth  hour.

would  have  eaten :  but  while  they  made 
ready,  he  fell  into  a  trance, 

11  And  saw  heaven  opened,  and  a  cer- 
tain vessel  descending  unto  him,  as  it  had 
been  a  great  sheet  knit  at  the  four  cor- 
ners, and  let  down  to  the  earth : 

12  Wherein  were  all  manner  of  four- 
footed  beasts  of  the  earth,  and  wild 
beasts,  and  creeping  things,  and  fowls 
of  the  air. 

13  And  there  came  a  voice  to  him,  Rise, 
Peter;  kill,  and  eat. 

14  But  Peter  said,  Not  so.  Lord ;  for 
I  have  never  eaten  any  thing  that  is 
common  or  unclean. 

15  And  the  voice  spake  unto  him  again 
the  second  time.  What  God  hath  cleansed, 
that  call  not  thou  common. 

16  This  was  done  thrice :  and  the 
vessel  was  received  up  again  into 
heaven. 

17  Now  while  Peter  doubted  in  him- 
self what  this  vision  which  he  had  seen 
should  mean,  behold,  the  men  which  were 
sent  from  Cornelius  had  made  enquiry 
for  Simon's  house,  and  stood  before  the 
gate, 

18  And  called,  and  asked  whether  Si- 
mon, which  was  surnamed  Peter,  were 
lodged  there. 

19  While  Peter  thought  on  the  vision, 
the  Spirit  said  unto  him,  Behold,  three 
men  seek  thee. 

20  Arise  therefore,  and  get  thee  down, 
and  go  with  them,  doubting  nothing :  for 
I  have  sent  them. 

21  Then  Peter  went  down  to  the  men 
which  were  sent  unto  him  from  Cor- 
nelius ;  and  said,  Behold,  I  am  he  whom 
ye  seek:  what  is  the  cause  wherefore  ye 
are  come? 

22  And  they  said,  Cornelius  the  cen- 
turion, a  just  man,  and  one  that  feareth 
God,  and  of  good  report  among  all  the 
nation  of  the  Jews,  was  warned  from 
God  by  an  holy  angel  to  send  for  thee 
into  his  house,  and  to  hear  words  of 
thee. 

23  Then  called  he  them  in,  and  lodged 
them.  And  on  the  morrow  Peter  went 
away-  with  them,  and  certain  brethren 
from  Joppa  accompanied  him. 

24  And  the  morrow  after  they  entered 
into  Caesarea.  And  Cornelius  waited  for^ 
them,  and  had  called  together  his  kins- 
men and  near  friends. 

25  And  as  Peter  was  coming  in,  Cor- 
nelius met  him.  and  fell  down  at  his  feet, 
and  worshipl)ed  him. 


while  they  made  ready,  he  fell  into 
a  trance;  11  and  he  beholdeth  the 
heaven  opened,  and  a  certain  vessel 
descending,  as  it  were  a  great  sheet, 
let  down  by  four  corners  upon  the 
earth :  12  wherein  were  all  manner 
of  fourfooted  beasts  and  creeping 
things  of  the  earth  and  fowls  of  the 
heaven.  13  And  there  came  a  voice 
to  him,  Rise,  Peter;  kill  and  eat. 
14  But  Peter  said,  Not  so,  Lord; 
for  I  have  never  eaten  anything 
that  is  common  and  unclean.  15 
And  a  voice  came  unto  him  again 
the  second  time.  What  God  hath 
cleansed,  rnake  not  thou  common. 
16  And  this  was  done  thrice:  and 
straightway  the  vessel  was  received 
up  into  heaven. 

17  Now  while  Peter  was  much 
perplexed  in  himself  what  the  vi- 
sion which  he  had  seen  might  mean, 
behold,  the  men  that  were  sent  by 
Cornelius,  having  made  inquiry  for 
Simon's  house,  stood  before  the 
gate,  18  and  called  and  asked 
whether  Simon,  which  was  sur- 
named   Peter,   were   lodging  there. 

19  And  while  Peter  thought  on  the 
vision,  the  Spirit  said  unto  him, 
Behold,     three     men      seek     thee. 

20  But  arise,  and  get  thee  down, 
and  go  with  them,  nothing  doubt- 
ing: for  1  have  sent  them.  21  And 
Peter  went  down  to  the  men,  and 
said,  Behold,  I  am  he  whom  ye 
seek :  what  is  the  cause  wherefore 
ye  are  come?  22  And  they  said, 
Cornelius  a  centurion,  a  righteous 
man  and  one  that  feareth  God,  and

in  and  lodged  them. 

And  on  the  morrow  he  arose  and 
went  forth  with  them,  and  certain 
of  the  brethren  from  Joppa  ac- 
companied him.  24  And  on  the 
morrow  they  entered  into  Caesa- 
rea. And  Cornelius  was  waiting 
for  them,  having  called  together 
his  kinsmen  and  his  near  friends. 
25  And  when  it  came  to  pass  that 
Peter  entered,  Cornelius  met  him, 
and  fell  down  at  his  feet,  and 
worshipped  him.  26  But  Peter

self also  am  a  man.     27  And  as  he 


to  taste  somewhat.  And  as  they  were 
preparing,  there  came  upon  him  an  ec- 
stasy of  mind. 

11  And  he  saw  the  heaven  opened,  and 
a  certain  vessel  descending,  as  it  were  a 
great  linen  sheet  let  down  by  the  four 
corners  from  heaven  to  the  earth: 

12  Wherein  were  all  manner  of  four- 
footed  beasts,  and  creeping  things  of  the 
earth,  and  fowls  of  the  air. 

13  And  there  came  a  voice  to  him : 
Arise,  Peter;  kill  and  eat. 

14  But  Peter  said:  Far  be  it  from  me; 
for  I  never  did  eat  anything  that  is  com- 
mon and  unclean. 

15  And  the  voice  spoke  to  him  again 
the  second  time:  That  which  God  hath 
cleansed,  do  not  thou  call  common. 

16  And  this  was  done  thrice ;  and 
presently  the  vessel  was  taken  up  into 
heaven. 

17  Now,  wnilst  Peter  was  doubting 
within  himself,  what  the  vision  that  he 
had  seen  should  mean,  behold  the  men 
who  were  sent  from  Cornelius,  inquiring 
for  Simon's  house,  stood  at  the  gate. 

18  And  when  they  had  called,  they 
asked,  if  Simon,  who  is  surnamed  Peter, 
were  lodged  there. 

19  And  as  Peter  was  thinking  of  the 
vision,  the  Spirit  said  to  him:  Behold 
three  men  seek  thee. 

20  Arise,  therefore,  get  thee  down  and 
go  with  them,  doubting  nothing:  for  I 
have  sent  them. 

21  Then  Peter,  going  down  to  the  men, 
said :  Behold,  I  am  he  whom  you  seek ; 
what  is  the  cause  for  which  you  are 
come? 

22  Who  said :  Cornelius,  a  centurion,  a 
just  man,  and  one  that  feareth  God,  and 
having  good  testimony  from  all  the  na- 
tion of  the  Jews,  received  an  answer  of 
an  holy  angel,  to  send  for  thee  into  his 
house,  and  to  hear  words  of  thee. 

22)  Then  bringing  them  in,  he  lodged 
them.  And  the  day  following  he  arose, 
and  went  with  them :  and  some  of  the 
brethren  from  Joppe  accompanied  him. 

24  And  the  morrow  after,  he  entered 
into  Csesarea.  And  Cornelius  waited  for 
them,  having  called  together  his  kins- 
men and  special  friends. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  Peter 
was  come  in,  Cornelius  came  to  meet 
him,  and  falling  at  his  feet  adored. 

26  But  Peter  lifted  him  up,  saying: 
Arise,  I  myself  also  am  a  man. 

27  And  talking  with  him,  he  went  in,

26  But  Peter  took  him  up,  saying, 
Stand  up;  I  myself  also  am  a  man. 

27  And  as  he  talked  with  him,  he  went 
in,  and  found  many  that  were  come  to- 
gether. 

28  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  know 
how  that  it  is  an  unlawful  thing  for  a 
man  that  is  a  Jew  to  keep  company,  or 
come  unto  one  of  another  nation;  but 
God  hath  shewed  me  that  I  should  not 
call  any  man  common  or  unclean, 

29  Therefore  came  I  unto  you  with- 
out gainsaying,  as  soon  as  I  was  sent 
for :  I  ask  therefore  for  what  intent  ye 
have  sent  for  me? 

30  And  Cornelius  said,  Four  days  ago 
I  was  fasting  until  this  hour;  and  at  the 
ninth  hour  I  prayed  in  my  house,  and, 
behold,  a  man  stood  before  me  in  bright 
clothing, 

31  And  said,  Cornelius,  thy  prayer  is 
heard,  and  thine  alms  are  had  in  remem- 
brance in  the  sight  of  God. 

32  Send  therefore  to  Joppa,  and  call 
hither  Simon,  whose  surname  is  Peter ; 
he  is  lodged  in  the  house  of  one  Simon 
a  tanner  by  the  sea  side :  who,  when  he 
cometh,  shall  speak  unto  thee. 

33  Immediately  therefore  I  sent  to 
thee;  and  thou  hast  well  done  that  thou 
art  come.  Now  therefore  are  we  all  here 
present  before  God,  to  hear  all  things 
that  are  commanded  thee  of  God. 

34  Then  Peter  opened  his  mouth,  and 
said,  Of  a  truth  I  perceive  that  God  is  no 
respecter  of  persons : 

35  But  in  every  nation  he  that  feareth 
him,  and  worketh  righteousness,  is  ac- 
cepted with  him. 

36  The  word  which  God  sent  unto  the 
children  of  Israel,  preaching  peace  by 
Jesus  Christ:   (he  is  Lord  of  all:) 

37  That  word,  /  say,  ye  know,  which 
was  published  throughout  all  Judaea,  and 
began  from  Galilee,  after  the  baptism 
which  John  preached ; 

38  How  God  anointed  Jesus  of  Naz- 
areth with  the  Holy  Ghost  and  with 
power:  who  went  about  doing  good,  and 
healing  all  that  were  oppressed  of  the 
devil ;  for  God  was  with  him. 

39  And  we  are  witnesses  of  all  things 
which  he  did  both  in  the  land  of  the 
Jews,  and  in  Jerusalem ;  whom  they  slew 
and  hanged  on  a  tree : 

40  Him  God  raised  up  the  third  day, 
and  shewed  him  openly ; 

41  Not  to  all  the  people,  but  unto  wit- 
nesses chosen  before  of  God,  even  to  us. 


I  myself  also  am  a  man,  27  And  as 
he  talked  with  him,  he  went  in, 
and  findeth  many  come  together: 
28  and  he  said  unto  them.  Ye  your- 
selves know  how  that  it  is  an 
unlawful  thing  for  a  man  that  is  a 
Jew  to  join  himself  or  come  unto 
one  of  another  nation;  and  yet

ninth  hour  of  prayer  in  my  house;

Simon,  who  is  surnamed  Peter;  he

with therefore  I  sent  to  thee ;  and

Now  therefore  we  are  all  here  pres-

came  when  I  was  sent  for.  I  ask,  there- 
fore, for  what  cause  you  have  sent  for 
me? 

30  And  Cornelius  said :  Four  days  ago,

house,  at  the  ninth  hour,  and  behold  a

34  And  Peter  opening  his  mouth,  said: 
In  very  deed  I  perceive,  that  God  is  not

35  But  in  every  nation,  he  that  feareth

any  man  forbid  the  water,  that 
these  should  not  be  baptized,  which 
have  received  the  Holy  Ghost  as 
well  as  we?  48  And  he  com- 
manded them  to  be  baptized  in  the 
name  of  Jesus  Christ.  Then  prayed 
they  him  to  tarry  certain  days. 


AND   the   apostles   and   brethren   that 
were  in  Judaea  heard  that  the  Gen- 
tiles had  also  received  the  word  of  God. 

2  And  when  Peter  was  come  up  to 
Jerusalem,  they  that  were  of  the  circum- 
cision contended  with  him, 

3  Saying,  Thou  wentest  in  to  men  un- 
circumcised,  and  didst  eat  with  them. 

4  But  Peter  rehearsed  the  matter  from 
the  beginning,  and  expounded  it  by  order 
unto  them,  saying, 

5  I  was  in  the  city  of  Joppa  praying: 
and  in  a  trance  I  saw  a  vision,  A  cer- 
tain vessel  descend,  as  it  had  been  a 
great  sheet,  let  down  from  heaven  by 
four  corners;  and  it  came  even  to 
me:

mine  eyes,  I  considered,  and  saw  four- 
footed  beasts  of  the  earth,  and  wild 
beasts,  and  creeping  things,  and  fowls  of

7  And  I  heard  a  voice  saying  unto  me. 
Arise,  Peter;  slay  and  eat. 

8  But  I  said.  Not  so,  Lord :  for  nothing 
common  or  unclean  hath  at  any  time  en- 
tered into  my  mouth.

44  While  Peter  was  yet  speaking  these 
words,  the  Holy  Ghost  fell  on  all  them 
that  heard  the  word. 

45  And  the  faithful  of  the  circumcision, 
who  came  with  Peter,  were  astonished, 
for  that  the  grace  of  the  Holy  Ghost  was 
poured  out  upon  the   Gentiles  also. 

46  For  they  heard  them  speaking  with 
tongues,  and  magnifying  God. 

47  Then  Peter  answered :  Can  any  man 
forbid  water,  that  these  should  •  not  be 
baptized,  who  have  received  the  Holy 
Ghost,  as  well  as  we? 

48  And  he  commanded  them  to  be  bap- 
tized in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ.  Then  they  desired  him  to  tarry 
with  them  some  days. 


CHAPTER  II. 

AND  the  apostles  and  brethren,  who 
were  in  Judea,  heard  that  the  Gen- 
tiles also  had  received  the  word  of  God. 

2  And  when  Peter  was  come  up  to  Jeru- 
salem, they  that  were  of  the  circumcision 
contended  with  him, 

3  Saying :  Why  didst  thou  go  in  to  men 
uncircumcised,  and  didst  eat  with  them? 

4  But  Peter  began  and  declared  to 
them  the  matter  in  order,  saying: 

5  I  was  in  the  city  of  Joppe  praying, 
and  I  saw  in  an  ecstasy  of  mind  a  vision, 
a  certain  vessel  descending,  as  it  were 
a  great  sheet,  let  down  from  heaven  by 
four  corners,  and  it  came  even  unto 
me. 

6  Into  which  looking,  I  considered,  and 
saw  fourfooted  creatures  of  the  earth, 
and  beasts,  and  creeping  things,  and  fowls 
of  the  air : 

7  And  I  heard  also  a  voice  saying  to 
me  :  Arise,  Peter ;  kill  and  eat. 

8  And  I  said :  Not  so,  Lord,;  for  nothing 
common  or  unclean  hath  ever  entered 
into  my  mouth. 

9  And  the  voice  answered  again  from 
heaven :  What  God  hath  made  clean,  do 
not  thou  call  common.

from   heaven,  What   God   hath   cleansed, 
that  call  not  thou  common. 

10  And  this  was  done  three  times :  and 
all  were  drawn  up  again  into  heaven. 

11  And,  behold,  immediately  there  were 
three  men  already  come  unto  the  house 
where  I  was,  sent  from  Caesarea  unto  me. 

12  And  the  Spirit  bade  me  go  with 
them,  nothing  doubting.  Moreover  these 
six  brethren  accompanied  me,  and  we  en- 
tered into  the  man's  house : 

13  And  he  shewed  us  how  he  had  seen 
an  angel  in  his  house,  which  stood  and 
said  unto  him.  Send  men  to  Joppa,  and 
call  for  Simon,  whose  surname  is  Peter ; 

14  Who  shall  tell  thee  words,  whereby 
thou  and  all  thy  house  shall  be  saved. 

15  And  as  I  began  to  speak,  the  Holy 
Ghost  fell  on  them,  as  on  us  at  the  be- 
ginning. 

16  Then  remembered  I  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  how  that  he  said,  John  indeed  bap- 
tized with  water ;  but  ye  shall  be  bap- 
tized with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

17  Forasmuch  then  as  God  gave  them 
the  like  gift  as  he  did  unto  us,  who  be- 
lieved on  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ ;  what 
was  I,  that  I  could  withstand  God? 

18  When  they  heard  these  things,  they 
held  their  peace,  and  glorified  God,  say- 
ing. Then  hath  God  also  to  the  Gentiles 
granted  repentance  unto  life. 

19  Now  they  which  were  scattered 
abroad  upon  the  persecution  that  arose 
about  Stephen  travelled  as  far  as  Phenice, 
and  Cyprus,  and  Antioch,  preaching  the 
word  to  none  but  unto  the  Jews  only. 

20  And  some  of  them  were  men  of 
Cyprus  and  Cyrene,  which,  when  they 
were  come  to  Antioch,  spake  unto  the 
Grecians,  preaching  the  Lord  Jesus. 

21  And  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  with 
them:  and  a  great  number  believed,  and 
turned  unto  the  Lord. 

22  Then  tidings  of  these  things  came 
unto  the  ears  of  the  church  which  was 
in  Jerusalem :  and  they  sent  forth  Barna- 
bas, that  he  should  go  as  far  as  Antioch. 

23  Who,  when  he  came,  and  had  seen 
the  grace  of  God,  was  glad,  and  exhorted 
them  all,  that  with  purpose  of  heart  they 
would  cleave  unto  the  Lord. 

24  For  he  was  a  good  man,  and  full  of 
the  Holy  Ghost  and  of  faith:  and  much 
people  was  added  unto  the  Lord. 

25  Then  departed  Barnabas  to  Tarsus, 
for  to  seek  Saul : 

26  And  when  he  had  found  him,  he 
brought  him  unto  Antioch.    And  it  came 


of  heaven,  What  God  hath  cleansed, 
make  not  thou  common.  10  And 
this  was  done  thrice :  and  all  were 
drawn  up  again  into  heaven. 
II  And  behold,  forthwith  three  men 
stood  before  the  house  in  which  we 
were,  having  been  sent  from  Caesa- 
rea unto  me.  12  And  the  Spirit 
bade  me  go  with  them,  making  no 
distinction.  And  these  six  brethren 
also  accompanied  me ;  and  we  en- 
tered into  the  man's  house :  13  and 
he  told  us  how  he  had  seen  the 
angel  standing  in  his  house,  and 
saying,  Send  to  Joppa,  and  fetch 
Simon,    whose    surname    is    Peter; 

14  who  shall  speak  unto  thee 
words,  whereby  thou  shalt  be 
saved,     thou     and    all     thy    house. 

15  And  as  I  began  to  speak,  the 
Holy  Ghost  fell  on  them,  even  as 
on  us  at  the  beginning.  16  And  I 
remembered  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
how  that  he  said,  John  indeed  bap- 
tized with  water ;  but  ye  shall  be 
baptized  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 
17  If  then  God  gave  unto  them 
the  like  gift  as  he  did  also  unto  us, 
when  we  believed  on  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  who  was  I,  that  I 
could  withstand  God?  18  And 
when  they  heard  these  things,  they 
held  their  peace,  and  glorified  God, 
saying,  Then  to  the  Gentiles  also

19  They  therefore  that  were  scat-

that  arose  about  Stephen  travelled 
as  far  as  Phoenicia,  and  Cyprus, 
and  Antioch,  speaking  the  word  to

And  as  I  began  to  speak,  the  Holy 
Spirit  fell  on  them,  even  as  on  us 
at  the  beginning. 

16  And  I  remembered  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  how  he  said,  John  in- 
deed baptized  with  water ;  but  ye 
shall  be  baptized  in  the  Holy  Spirit. 
17  If  then  God  gave  unto  them 
the  like  gift  as  he  did  also  unto  us, 
when  we  believed  on  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  who  was  I,  that  I 
could  withstand  God?  18  And 
when  they  heard  these  things,  they

12  And  the  Spirit  said  to  me,  that  I

And  these  six  brethren  went  with  me 
also :  and  we  entered  into  the  man's 
house. 

13  And  he  told  us  how  he  had  seen  an

whereby  thou  shalt  be  saved,  and  all  thy 
house. 

15  And  when  I  had  begun  to  speak,  the 
Holy  Ghost  fell  upon  them,  as  upon  us 
also  in  the  beginning. 

16  And  I  remembered  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  how  that  he  said :  John  indeed  bap- 
tised with  water,  but  you  shall  be  bap-

17  li  then  God  gave  them  the  same 
grace,  as  to  us  also  who  believed  in  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ ;  who  was  I,  that  could 
withstand   God  ? 

18  Having  heard  these  things,  they  held 
their  peace,  and  glorified  God,  saying: 
God  then  hath  also  to  the  Gentiles  given 
repentance  unto  life. 

19  Now  they  who  had  been  dispersed  by 
the  persecution  that  arose  on  occasion  of 
Stephen,  went  about  as  far  as  Phenice 
and  Cyprus  and  Antioch,  speaking  the 
word  to  none,  but  to  the  Jews  only. 

20  But  some  of  them  were  men  of  Cy- 
prus and  Cyrene,  who,  when  they  were

Greeks,  preaching  the  Lord  Jesus. 

21  And  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  with

were  converted  to  the  Lord. 

22  And  the  tidings  came  to  the  ears  of 
the  church  that  was  at  Jerusalem,  touch- 
ing these  things :  and  they  sent  Barnabas 
as  far  as  Antioch. 

23  Who,  when  he  was  come,  and  had 
seen  the  grace  of  God,  rejoiced:  and  he 
exhorted  them  all  with  purpose  of  heart 
to  continue  in  the  Lord.

Saul :  whom,  when  he  had  found,  he 
brought  to  Antioch.

themselves  with  the  church,  and  taught 
much  people.  And  the  disciples  were 
called  Christians  first  in  Antioch. 

27  And  in  these  days  came  prophets 
from  Jerusalem  unto  Antioch. 

28  And  there  stood  up  one  of  them 
named  Agabus,  and  signified  by  the  Spirit 
that  there  should  be  great  dearth  through- 
out all  the  world :  which  came  to  pass 
in  the  days  of  Claudius  Caesar.

relief  unto  the  brethren  which  dwelt  in

And  he  went  forth  to  Tarsus  to

there  should  be  a  great  famine  over 
all  the  world :  which  came  to  pass 
in  the  days  of  Claudius.  29  And 
the  disciples,  every  man  accord-

dwelt  in  Judaea :  30  which  also  they 
did,  sending  it  to  the  elders  by  the

NOW  about  that  time  Herod  the  king 
stretched    forth    his    hands    to    vex 
certain  of  the  church. 

2  And  he  killed  James  the  brother  of 
John  with  the  sword. 

3  And  because  he  saw  it  pleased  the 
Jews,  he  proceeded  further  to  take  Peter 
also.  (Then  were  the  days  of  unleav- 
ened bread.) 

4  And  when  he  had  apprehended  him, 
he  put  him  in  prison,  and  delivered  him 
to  four  quaternions  of  soldiers  to  keep 
him ;  intending  after  Easter  to  bring  him 
forth  to  the  people. 

5  Peter  therefore  was  kept  in  prison: 
but  prayer  was  made  without  ceasing  of 
the  church  unto  God  for  him. 

6  And  when  Herod  would  have  brought 
him  forth,  the  same  night  Peter  was 
sleeping  between  two  soldiers,  bound  with 
two  chains,  and  the  keepers  before  the 
door  kept  the  prison. 

7  And,  behold,  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  him,  and  a  light  shined  in  the 
prison :  and  he  smote  Peter  on  the  side, 
and  raised  him  up,  saying.  Arise  up 
quickly.  And  his  chains  fell  off  from  his 
hands. 

8  And  the  angel  said  unto  him.  Gird 
thyself,  and  bind  on  thy  sandals.  And 
so  he  did.  And  he  saith  unto  him.  Cast 
thy  garment  about  thee,  and  follow  me.

some  of  the  church. 

2  And  he  killed  James,  the  brother  of 
John,  with  the  sword. 

3  And  seeing  that  it  pleased  the  Jews, 
he  proceeded  to  take  up  Peter  also. 
Now  it  was  in  the  days  of  the  Azymes. 

4  And  when  he  had  apprehended  him, 
he  cast  him  into  prison,  delivering  him  to 
four  files  of  soldiers  to  be  kept,  intend- 
ing, after  the  pasch,  to  bring  him  forth 
to  the  people. 

5  Peter  therefore  was  kept  in  prison. 
But  prayer  was  made  without  ceasing  by 
the  church  unto  God  for  him. 

6  And  when  Herod  would  have  brought 
him  forth,  the  same  night  Peter  was 
sleeping  between  two  soldiers,  bound  with 
two  chains:  and  the  keepers  before  the 
door  kept  the  prison. 

7  And  behold  an  angel  of  the  Lord 
stood  by  him:  and  a  light  shined  in  the 
room:  and  he  striking  Peter  on  the  side, 
raised  him  up,  saying:  Arise  quickly. 
And  the  chains  fell  off  from  his  hands. 

8  And  the  angel  said  to  him :  Gird  thy- 
self, and  put  on  thy  sandals.  And  he 
did  so.  And  he  said  to  him :  Cast  thy 
garment  about  thee,  and  follow  me. 

9  And  going  out,  he  followed  him,  and 
he  knew  not  that  it  was  true  which  was

9  And  he  went  out,  and  followed  him ; 
and  wist  not  that  it  was  true  which  was 
done  by  the  angel;  but  thought  he  saw  a 
vision. 

10  When  they  were  past  the  first  and 
the  second  ward,  they  came  unto  th6  iron 
gate  that  leadeth  unto  the  city ;  which 
opened  to  them  of  his  own  accord :  and 
they  went  out,  and  passed  on  through  one 
street;  and  forthwith  the  angel  departed 
from  him. 

11  And  when  Peter  was  come  to  him- 
self, he  said,  Now  I  know  of  a  surety, 
that  the  Lord  hath  sent  his  angel,  and 
hath  delivered  me  out  of  the  hand  of 
Herod,  and  from  all  the  expectation  of 
the  people  of  the  Jews. 

12  And  when  he  had  considered  the 
thing,  he  came  to  the  house  of  Mary  the 
mother  of  John,  whose  surname  was 
Mark;  where  many  were  gathered  to- 
gether praying. 

13  And  as  Peter  knocked  at  the  door 
of  the  gate,  a  damsel  came  to  hearken, 
named  Rhoda. 

14  And  when  she  knew  Peter's  voice, 
she  opened  not  the  gate  for  gladness,  but 
ran  in,  and  told  how  Peter  stood  before 
the  gate. 

15  And  they  said  unto  her.  Thou  art 
mad.  But  she  constantly  affirmed  that  it 
was  even  so.  Then  said  they.  It  is  his 
angel. 

16  But  Peter  continued  knocking:  and 
when  they  had  opened  the  door,  and  saw 
him,  they  were  astonished. 

17  But  he,  beckoning  unto  them  with 
the  hand  to  hold  their  peace,  declared 
unto  them  how  the  Lord  had  brought 
him  out  of  the  prison.  And  he  said.  Go 
shew  these  things  unto  James,  and  to 
the  brethren.  And  he  departed,  and  went 
into  another  place. 

18  Now  as  soon  as  it  was  day,  there 
was  no  small  stir  among  the  soldiers, 
what  was  become  of  Peter. 

19  And  when  Herod  had  sought  for 
him,- and  found  him  not,  he  examined  the 
keepers,  and  commanded  that  they  should 
be  put  to  death.  And  he  went  down 
from  Judaea  to  Caesarea,  and  there 
abode. 

20  And  Herod  was  highly  displeased 
with  them  of  Tyre  and  Sidon :  but  they 
came  with  one  accord  to  him,  and,  having 
made  Blastus  the  king's  chamberlain  their 
friend,  desired  peace ;  because  their  coun- 
try was  nourished  by  the  king's  country. 

21  And  upon  a  set  day  Herod,  arrayed 


about  thee,  and  follow  me.  9  And. 
he  went  out,  and  followed ;  and  he 
wist  not  that  it  was  true  which 
was  done  by  the  angel,  but  thought 
he  saw  a  vision.  10  And  when  they

livered me  out  of  the  hand  of

'were  gathered  together  and  were

came  to  answer,  named  Rhoda.

voice,  she  opened  not  the  gate  for

amazed.  17  But  he,  beckoning  unto 
them  with  the  hand  to  hold  their 
peace,  declared  unto  them  how  the 
Lord  had  brought  him  forth  out

made  an  oration  unto  them. 

22  And  the  people  gave  a  shout,  saying, 
It  is  the  voice  of  a  god,  and  not  of  a 
man. 

23  And  immediately  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  smote  him,  because  he  gave  not  God 
the  glory :  and  he  was  eaten  of  worms, 
and  gave  up  the  ghost. 

24  But  the  word  of  God  grew  and 
multiplied. 

25  And  Barnabas  and  Saul  returned 
from  Jerusalem,  when  they  had  fulfilled 
their  ministry,  and  took  with  them  John, 
whose  surname  was  Mark. 


CHAPTER  13. 

NOW  there  were  in  the  church  that 
was  at  Antioch  certain  prophets 
and  teachers ;  as  Barnabas,  and  Simeon 
that  was  called  Niger,  and  Lucius  of  Gy- 
rene, and  Manaen,  which  had  been 
brought  up  with  Herod  the  tetrarch,  and 
Saul. 

2  As  they  ministered  to  the  Lord,  and 
fasted,  the  Holy  Ghost  said.  Separate  me 
Barnabas  and  Saul  for  the  work  where- 
unto  I  have  called  them. 

3  And  when  they  had  fasted  and 
prayed,  and  laid  their  hands  on  them, 
they  sent  them  away. 

4  So  they,  being  sent  forth  by  the  Holy 
Ghost,  departed  unto  Seleucia;  and  from 
thence  they  sailed  to  Cyprus. 

5  And  when  they  were  at  Salamis,  they 
preached  the  word  of  God  in  the  syna- 
gogues of  the  Jews :  and  they  had  also 
John  to  their  minister. 

6  And  when  they  had  gone  through  the 
isle  unto  Paphos,  they  found  a  certain 
sorcerer,  a  false  prophet,  a  Jew,  whose 
name  was  Bar-jesus: 

7  Which  was  .with  the  deputy  of  the 
country,  Sergius  Paulus,  a  prudent  man; 
who  called  for  Barnabas  and  Saul,  and 
desired  to  hear  the  word  of  God. 

8  But  Elymas  the  sorcerer  (for  so  is 
his  name  by  interpretation)  withstood 
them,  seeking  to  turn  away  the  deputy 
from  the  faith. 

9  Then  Saul,  (who  also  is  called  Paul,) 
filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  set  his  eyes 
on  him,

Herod  arrayed  himself  in  royal  ap- 
parel, and  sat  on  the  throne,  and 
made  an  oration  unto  them. 
22  And  the  people  shouted,  say- 
ing, The  voice  of  a  god,  and  not 
of  a  man.  23  And  immediately  an 
angel  of  the  Lord  smote  him,  be- 
cause he  gave  not  God  the  glory: 
and  he  was  eaten  of  worms,  and 
gave  up  the  ghost. 

24  But  the  word  of  God  grew

25  And  Barnabas  and  Saul  re- 
turned from  Jerusalem,  when  they 
had  fulfilled  their  ministration,  tak- 
ing with  them  John  whose  surname 
was  Mark.

24  But  the  word  of  the  Lord  increased

from  Jerusalem,  having  fulfilled  their

surnamed  Mark.  ^ 


CHAPTER  13.

was  at  Antioch,  prophets  and  doc-

Simon  who  was  called  Niger,  and  Lucius 
of  Gyrene,  and  Manahen,  who  was  the 
foster  brother  of  Herod  the  tetrarch,  and 
Saul. 

2  And  as  they  were  ministering  to  the 
Lord,  and  fasting,  the  Holy  Ghost  said  to 
them:  Separate  me  Saul  and  Barnabas, 
for  the  work  whereunto  I  have  taken 
them. 

3  Then  they,  fasting  and  praying,  and 
imposing  their  hands  upon  them,  sent 
them  away. 

4  So  they  being  sent  by  the  Holy  Ghost, 
went  to  Seleucia:  and  from  thence  they 
sailed  to  Cyprus. 

5  And  when  they  were  come  to  Sala- 
mina,  they  preached  the  word  of  God  in 
the  synagogues  of  the  Jews.  And  they 
had  John  also  in  the  ministry. 

6  And  when  they  had  gone  through  the 
whole  island,  as  far  as  Paphos,  they  found 
a  certain  man,  a  magician,  a  false  prophet, 
a  Jew,  whose  name  was  Bar-jesu : 

7  Who  was  with  the  proconsul  Sergius 
Paulus,  a  prudent  man.  He  sending  for 
Barnabas  and  Saul,  desired  to  hear  the

enemy  of  all  righteousness,  wilt  thou  not 
cease  to  pervert  the  right  ways  of  the 
Lord? 

11  And  now,  behold,  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  is  upon  thee,  and  thou  shalt  be 
blind,  not  seeing  the  sun  for  a  season. 
And  immediately  there  fell  on  him  a 
mist  and  a  darkness;  and  he  went  about 
seeking  some  to  lead  him  by  the  hand. 

12  Then  the  deputy,  when  he  saw  what 
was  done,  believed,  being  astonished  at 
the  doctrine  of  the  Lord. 

13  Now  when  Paul  and  his  company 
loosed  from  Paphos,  they  came  to  Perga 
in  Pamphylia :  and  John  departing  from 
them  returned  to  Jerusalem. 

14  But  when  they  departed  from  Perga, 
they  came  to  Antioch  in  Pisidia,  and 
went  into  the  synagogue  on  the  sabbath 
day,  and  sat  down. 

15  And  after  the  reading  of  the  law 
and  the  prophets  the  rulers  of  the  syna- 
gogue sent  unto  them,  saying.  Ye  men 
and  brethren,  if  ye  have  any  word  of 
exhortation  for  the  people,  say  on. 

16  Then  Paul  stood  up,  and  beckoning 
with  his  hand  said.  Men  of  Israel,  and 
ye  that  fear  God,  give  audience. 

17  The  God  of  this  people  of  Israel 
chose  our  fathers,  and  exalted  the  people 
when  they  dwelt  as  strangers  in  the  land 
of  Egypt,  and  with  an  high  arm  brought 
he  them  out  of  it.- 

18  And  about  the  time  of  forty  years 
suffered  he  their  manners  in  the  wilder- 
ness. 

19  And  when  he  had  destroyed  seven 
nations  in  the  land  of  Chanaan,  he  di- 
vided their  land  to  them  by  lot. 

20  And  after  that  he  gave  unto  them 
judges  about  the  space  of  four  hundred 
and  fifty  years,  until  Samuel  the  prophet. 

21  And  afterward  they  desired  a  king: 
and  God  gave  unto  them  Saul  the  son  of 
Cis,  a  man  of  the  tribe  of  Benjamin,  by 
the  space  of  forty  years. 

22  And  when  he  had  removed  him,  he 
raised  up  unto  them  David  to  be  their 
king;  to  whom  also  he  gave  testimony, 
and  said,  I  have  found  David  the  son 
of  Jesse,  a  man  after  mine  own  heart, 
which  shall  fulfil  all  my  will. 

23  Of  this  man's  seed  hath  God  ac- 
cording to  his  promise  raised  unto  Israel 
a  Saviour,  Jesus: 

24  When  John  had  first  preached  be- 
fore his  coming  the  baptism  of  repent- 
ance to  all  the  people  of  Israel. 

25  And  as  John  fulfilled  his  course,  he 


all  guile  and  all  villany,  thou  son 
of  the  devil,  thou  enemy  of  all 
righteousness,  wilt  thou  not  cease 
to  pervert  the  right  ways  of  the 
Lord?  II  And  now,  behold,  the 
hand  of  the  Lord  is  upon  thee,  and 
thou  shalt  be  blind,  not  seeing  the 
sun  for  a  season.  And  immedi- 
ately there  fell  on  him  a  mist  and  a 
darkness;  and  he  went  about  seek- 
ing some  to  lead  him  by  the  hand. 
12  Then  the  proconsul,  when  he  saw 
what  was  done,  believed,  being  as- 
tonished at  the  teaching  of  the 
Lord. 

13  Now  Paul  and  his  company 
set  sail  from  Paphos,  and  came  to 
Perga  in  Pamphylia :  and  John 
departed  from  them  and  returned 
to  Jerusalem.  14  But  they,  pass- 
ing through  from  Perga,  came  to 
Antioch  of  Pisidia;  and  they  went 
into  the  synagogue  on  the  sabbath 
day,  and  sat  down.  15  And  after 
the  reading  of  the  law  and  the 
prophets  the  rulers  of  the  syna- 
gogue sent  unto  them,  saying. 
Brethren,  if  ye  have  any  word  of, 
exhortation  for  the  people,  say  on. 
16  And  Paul  stood  up,  and  beckon- 
ing with  the  hand  said. 

Men  of  Israel,  and  ye  that  fear 
God,  hearken.  17  The  God  of  this 
people  Israel  chose  our  fathers,  and 
exalted  the  people  when  they  so- 
journed in  the  land  of  Egypt,  and 
with  a  high  arm  led  he  them  forth 
out  of  it.  18  And  for  about  the 
time  of  forty  years  suffered  he 
their  manners  in  the  wilderness. 
19  And  when  -he  had  destroyed 
seven  nations  in  the  land  of  Ca- 
naan, he  gave  thein  their  land  for 
an  inheritance,  for  about  four  hun- 
dred and  fifty  years:  20  and  after 
these  things  he  gave  them  judges 
until  Samuel  the  prophet.  21  And 
afterward  they  asked  for  a  king: 
and  God  gave  unto  them  Saul  the 
son  of  Kish,  a  man  of  the  tribe 
of  Benjamin,  for  the  space  of  forty 
years.  22  And  when  he  had  re- 
moved him,  he  raised  up  David 
to  be  their  king;  to  whom  also  he 
bare  witness,  and  said,  I  have 
found  David  the  son  of  Jesse,  a 
man  after  my  heart,  who  shall  do 
all  my  will.  23  Of  this  man's

all  villany,  thou  son  of  the  devil, 
thou  enemy  of  all  righteousness,

right  ways  of  the  Lord?  11  And

16  And  Paul  stood  up,  and  beckon-

time  of  forty  years  as  a  nursing- 
father  bare  he  them  in  the  wilder- 
ness. 19  And  when  he  had  de- 
stroyed seven  nations  in  the  land 
of  Canaan,  he  gave  them  their  land 
for  an  inheritance,  for  about  four 
hundred  and  fifty  years :  20  and 
after  these  things  he  gave  them

21  And  afterward  they  asked  for

justice,   thou   ceasest  not  to   pervert  the 
right  ways  of  the  Lord. 

11  And  now  behold,  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  is  upon  thee,  and  thou  shalt  be 
blind,  not  seeing  the  sun  for  a  time.  And 
immediately  there  fell  a  mist  and  dark-

12  Then  the  proconsul,  when  he  had 
seen  what  was  done,  believed,  admiring

13  Now  when  Paul  and  they  that  were 
with  him  had  sailed  from  Paphos,  they 
came  to  Perge  in  Pamphylia.  And  John 
departing  from  them,  returned  to  Jeru- 
salem. 

14  But  they  passing  through  Perge, 
came  to  Antioch  in  Pisidia:  and  entering 
into  the  synagogue  on  the  sabbath  day, 
they  sat  down. 

15  And  after  the  reading  of  the  law  and

sent  to  them,  saying:  Ye  men,  brethren, 
if  you  have  any  word  of  exhortation  to 
make  to  the  people,  speak. 

16  Then  Paul  rising  up,  and  with  his 
hand  bespeaking  silence,  said:  Ye  men 
of  Israel,  and  you  that  fear  God,  give  ear. 

17  The  God  of  the  people  of  Israel  chose 
our  fathers,  and  exalted  the  people  when 
they  were  sojourners  in  the  land  of 
Egypt,  and  with  an  high  arm  brought 
them  out  from  thence, 

18  And  for  the  space  of  forty  years 
endured  their  manners  in  the  desert. 

19  And  destroying  seven  nations  in  the 
land  of  Chanaan,  divided  their  land 
among  them,  by  lot, 

20  As  it  were,  after  four  hundred  and

not  he.  But,  behold,  there  cometh  one 
after  me,  whose  shoes  of  his  feet  I  am 
not  worthy  to  loose. 

26  Men  and  brethren,  children  of  the 
stock  of  Abraham,  and  whosoever  among 
you  feareth  God,  to  you  is  the  word  of 
this  salvation  sent. 

27  For  they  that  dwell  at  Jerusalem, 
and  their  rulers,  because  they  knew  him 
not,  nor  yet  the  voices  of  the  prophets 
which  are  read  every  sabbath  day,  they 
have  fulfilled  them  in  condemning  him. 

28  And  though  they  found  no  cause  of 
death  in  him,  yet  desired  they  Pilate  that 
he  should  be  slain. 

29  And  when  they  had  fulfilled  all  that 
was  written  of  him,  they  took  him  down 
from  the  tree,  and  laid  him  in  a  sepulchre. 

30  But  God  raised  him  from  the  dead: 

31  And  he  was  seen  many  days  of 
them  which  came  up  with  him  from  Gali- 
lee to  Jerusalem,  who  are  his  witnesses 
unto  the  people. 

32  And  we  declare  unto  you  glad 
tidings,  how  that  the  promise  which  was 
made  unto  the  fathers, 

33  God  hath  fulfilled  the  same  unto 
us  their  children,  in  that  he  hath  raised 
up  Jesus  again;  as  it  is  also  written  in 
the  second  psalm.  Thou  art  my  Son,  this 
day  have  I  begotten  thee. 

34  And  as  concerning  that  he  raised 
him  up  from  the  dead,  now  no  more  to 
return  to  corruption,  he  said  on  this  wise, 
I  will  give  you  the  sure  mercies  of  David. 

35  Wherefore  he  saith  also  in  another 
psalm,  Thou  shalt  not  suffer  thine  Holy 
One  to  see  corruption. 

36  For  David,  after  he  had  served  his 
own  generation  by  the  will  of  God,  fell 
on  sleep,  and  was  laid  unto  his  fathers, 
and  saw  corruption : 

37  But  he,  whom  God  raised  again,  saw 
no  corruption. 

38  Be  it  known  unto  you  therefore, 
men  and  brethren,  that  through  this  man 
is  preached  unto  you  the  forgiveness  of 
sins : 

39  And  by  him  all  that  believe  are  justi- 
fied from  all  things,  from  which  ye  could 
not  be  justified  by  the  law  of  Moses. 

40  Beware  therefore,  lest  that  come 
upon  you,  which  is  spoken  of  in  the 
prophets ; 

41  Behold,  ye  despisers,  and  wonder, 
and  perish  :  for  I  work  a  work  in  your 
days,  a  work  which  ye  shall  in  no  wise 
believe,  though  a  man  declare  it  unto  you.

unto  our  children,  in  that  he  raised

more  to  return  to  corruption,  he 
hath  spoken  on  this  wise,  I  will

in  another  psalm,  Thou  wilt  not

Be  it  known  unto  you  therefore,

am  not  worthy  to  loose. 

26  Men,  brethren,  children  of  the  stock 
of  Abraham,  and  whosoever  among  you 
fear  God,  to  you  the  word  of  this  salva- 
tion is  sent. 

27  For  they  that  inhabited  Jerusalem, 
and  the  rulers  thereof,  not  knowing  him, 
nor  the  voices  of  the  prophets,  which  are 
read  every  sabbath,  judging  him  have 
fulfilled  them. 

28  And  finding  no  cause  of  death  in  hinr, 
they  desired  of  Pilate,  that  they  might 
kill  him. 

29  And  when  they  had  fulfilled  all 
things  that  were  written  of  him,  taking 
him  down  from  the  tree,  they  laid  him  in 
a  sepulchre. 

30  But  God  raised  him  up  from  the 
dead  the   third   day: 

31  Who  was  seen  for  many  days,  by 
them  who  came  up  with  him  from  Gali- 
lee to  Jerusalem,  who  to  this  present  are 
his  witnesses  to  the  people. 

32  And  we  declare  unto  you,  that  the 
promise  which  was  made  to  our  fathers, 

33  This  same  God  hath  fulfilled  to  our 
children,  raising  up  Jesus,  as  in  the  sec- 
ond psalm  also  is  written :  Thou  art  my 
Son,  this  day  have  I  begotten  thee. 

34  And  to  shew  that  he  raised  him  up 
from  the  dead,  not  to  return  now  any 
more  to  corruption,  he  said  thus:  /  zvill 
give  you  the  holy  things  of  David  faithful. 

35  And  therefore,  in  another  place  also, 
he  saith :  Thou  shalt  not  suffer  thy  holy 
one  to  see  corruption. 

36  For  David,  when  he  had  served  in  his 
generation,  according  to  the  will  of  God, 
slept:  and  was  laid  unto  his  fathers,  and 
saw  corruption. 

37  But  he  whom  God  hath  raised  from 
the  dead,  saw  no  corruption. 

38  Be  it  known  therefore  to  you,  men, 
brethren,  that  through  him  forgiveness 
of  sins  is  preached  to  you :  and  from  all 
the  things,  from  which  you  could  not  be 
justified  by  the  law  of  Moses. 

39  In  him  every  one  that  believeth,  is 
justified.

upon  you  which  is  spoken  in  the  prophets : 

41  Behold,  ye  despisers,  and  wonder, 
and  perish:  for  I  work  a  work  in  your 
days,  a  work  which  you  will  not  believe, 
if  any  man  shall  tell  it  you.

of  the  synagogue,  the  Gentiles  besought 
that  these  words  might  be  preached  to 
them  the  next  sabbath. 

43  Now  when  the  congregation  was 
broken  up,  many  of  the  Jews  and  religious 
proselytes  followed  Paul  and  Barnabas : 
who,  speaking  to  them,  persuaded  them 
to  continue  in  the  grace  of  God. 

44  And  the  next  sabbath  day  came 
almost  the  whole  city  together  to  hear  the 
word  of  God. 

45  But  when  the  Jews  saw  the  multi- 
tudes, they  were  filled  with  envy,  and 
spake  against  those  things  which  were 
spoken  by  Paul,  contradicting  and  blas- 
pheming. 

46  Then  Paul  and  Barnabas  waxed 
bold,  and  said,  It  was  necessary  that  the 
word  of  God  should  first  have  been 
spoken  to  you :  but  seeing  ye  put  it  from 
you,  and  judge  yourselves  unworthy  of 
everlasting  life,  lo,  we  turn  to  the  Gen- 
tiles. 

47  For  so  hath  the  Lord  commanded 
us,  saying,  I  have  set  thee  to  be  a  light 
of  the  Gentiles,  that  thou  shouldest  be 
for  salvation  unto  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

48  And  when  the  Gentiles  heard  this, 
they  were  glad,  and  glorified  the  word  of 
the  Lord :  and  as  many  as  were  ordained 
to  eternal  life  believed. 

49  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  was  pub- 
lished throughout  all  the  region. 

50  But  the  Jews  stirred  up  the  devout 
and  honourable  women,  and  the  chief 
men  of  the  city,  and  raised  persecution 
against  Paul  and  Barnabas,  and  expelled 
them  out  of  their  coasts. 

51  But  they  shook  off  the  dust  of  their

CHAPTER  14. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  Iconium,  that 
they  went  both  together  into  the 
synagogue  of  the  Jews,  and  so  spake, 
that  a  great  multitude  both  of  the  Jews 
and  also  of  the  Greeks  believed. 

2  But  the  unbelieving  Jews  stirred  up 
the  Gentiles,  and  made  their  minds  evil 
affected  against  the  brethren. 

3  Long  time  therefore  abode  they 
speaking  boldly  in  the  Lord,  which  gave 
testimony  unto  the  word  of  his  grace, 
and  granted  signs  and  wonders  to  be 
done  by  their  hands. 

4  But  the  multitude  of  the  city  was 
divided :  and  part  held  with  the  Jews,  and 
part  with  the  apostles. 

5  And  when  there  was  an  assault  made 
both  of  the  Gentiles,  and  also  of  the 
Jews  with  their  rulers,  to  use  them 
despitefully,  and  to  stone  them, 

6  They  were  ware  of  it,  and  fled  unto 
Lystra  and  Derbe,  cities  of  Lycaonia,  and 
unto  the  region  that  lieth  round  about : 

7  And  there  they  preached  the  gospel. 

8  And  there  sat  a  certain  man  at  Lystra, 
impotent  in  his  feet,  being  a  cripple  from 
his  mother's  womb,  who  never  had 
walked : 

9  The  same  heard  Paul  speak:  who 
stedfastly  beholding  him,  and  perceiving 
that  he  had  faith  to  be  healed, 

ID  Said  with  a  loud  voice,  Stand  up- 
right on  thy  feet.  And  he  leaped  and 
walked. 

11  And  when  the  people  saw  what  Paul 
had  done,  they  lifted  up  their  voices,  say- 
ing in  the  speech  of  Lycaonia,  The  gods 
are  come  down  to  us  in  the  likeness  of 
men. 

12  And  they  called  Barnabas,  Jupiter; 
and  Paul,  Mercurius,  because  he  was  the 
chief  speaker. 

13  Then  the  priest  of  Jupiter,  which 
was  before  their  city,  brought  oxen  and 
garlands  unto  the  gates,  and  would  have 
done  sacrifice  with  the  people. 

14  Which  when  the  apostles,  Barnabas 
and  Paul,  heard  of,  they  rent  their 
clothes,  and  ran  in  among  the  people,  cry- 
ing out, 

15  And  saying.  Sirs,  why  do  ye  these 
things?  We  also  are  men  of  like  pas- 
sions with  you,  and  preach  unto  you  that

without  witness,  in  that  he  did  good,  and 
gave  us  rain  from  heaven,  and  fruitful 
seasons,  filling  our  hearts  with  food  and 
gladness. 

18  And  with  these  sayings  scarce  re- 
strained they  the  people,  that  they  had 
not  done  sacrifice  unto  them. 

19  And  there  came  thither  certain  Jews 
from  Antioch  and  Iconium,  who  per- 
suaded the  people,  and,  having  stoned 
Paul,  drew  him  out  of  the  city,  supposing 
he  had  been  dead. 

20  Howbeit,  as  the  disciples  stood 
round  about  him,  he  rose  up,  and  came 
into  the  city :  and  the  next  day  he  de- 
parted with  Barnabas  to  Derbe. 

21  And  when  they  had  preached  the

and  exhorting  them  to  continue  in  the 
faith,  and  that  we  must  through  much 
tribulation  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
God. 

23  And  when  they  had  ordained  them 
elders  in  every  church,  and  had  prayed 
with  fasting,  they  commended  them  to 
the  Lord,  on  whom  they  believed. 

24  And  after  they  had  passed  through- 
out Pisidia,  they  came  to  Pamphylia. 

25  And  when  they  had  preached  the

talia : 

26  And  thence  sailed  to  Antioch,  from 
whence  they  had  been  recommended  to 
the  grace  of  God  for  the  work  which  they 
fulfilled. 

27  And  when  they  were  come,  and  had 
gathered  the  church  together,  they  re- 
hearsed all  that  God  had  done  with  them, 
and  how  he  had  opened  the  door  of  faith 
unto  the  Gentiles.

the  disciples.

2  When  therefore  Paul  and  Barnabas 
had  no  small  dissension  and  disputation

good,  and  gave  you  from  heaven  !

they  had  appointed  for  them  elders  I

And  with  these  sayings  scarce  re-

into  the  kingdom  of  God.  23  And 
when  they  had  appointed  for  them 
elders  in  every  church,  and  had 
prayed  with  fasting,  they  com- 
mended them  to  the  Lord,  on  whom 
they  had  believed.  24  And  they 
passed  through  Pisidia,  and  came 
to  Pamphylia.  25  And  when  they 
had  spoken  the  word  in  Perga,  they

15  Who  in  times  past  suffered  all  na-

without  testimony,  doing  good  from 
heaven,  giving  rains  and  fruitful  seasons, 
filling  our  hearts  with  food  and  glad-

17  And  speaking  these  things,  they 
scarce  restrained  the  people  from  sacri- 
ficing to  them,

from  Antioch,  and  Iconium :  and  persuad- 
ing the  ijiultitude,  and  stoning  Paul,  drew 
him  out  of  the  city,  thinking  him  to  be 
dead. 

19  But  as  the  disciples  stood  round 
about  him,  he  rose  up  and  entered  into 
the  city,  and  the  next  day  he  departed 
with  Barnabas  to  Derbe. 

20  And  when  they  had  preached  the 
gospel  to  that  city,  and  had  taught  many, 
they  returned  again  to  Lystra,  and  to 
Iconium,  and  to  Antioch: 

21  Confirming  the  souls  of  the  disciples, 
and  exhorting  them  to  continue  in  the 
faith :  and  that  through  many  tribula-

22  And  when  they  had  ordained  to  them 
priests  in  every  church,  and  had  prayed 
with  fasting,  they  commended  them  to 
the  Lord,  in  whom  they  believed, 

23  And  passing  through  Pisidia,  they 
came  into  Pamphylia. 

24  And  having  spoken  the  word  of  the 
Lord  in  Perge,  they  went  down  into  At- 
talia : 

25  And  thence  they  sailed  to  Antioch, 
from  whence  they  had  been  delivered  to 
the  grace  of  God,  unto  the  work  which 
they  accomplished. 

26  And  when  they  were  come,  and  had 
assembled  the  church,  they  related  what 
great  things  God  had  done  with  them, 
and  how  he  had  opened  the  door  of  faith 
to  the  Gentiles, 

27  And  they  abode  no  small  time  with 
the  disciples,

should    go    up    to    Jerusalem    unto    the 
apostles  and  elders  about  this  question. 

3  And  being  brought  on  their  way  by 
the  church,  they  passed  through  Phenice 
and  Samaria,  declaring  the  conversion  of 
the  Gentiles :  and  they  caused  great  joy 
unto  all  the  brethren. 

4  And  when  they  were  come  to  Jeru- 
salem, they  were  received  of  the  church, 
and  of  the  apostles  and  elders,  and  they 
declared  all  things  that  God  had  done 
with  them. 

5  But  there  rose  up  certain  of  the  sect 
of  the  Pharisees  which  believed,  saying, 
That  it  was  needful  to  circumcise  them, 
and  to  command  them  to  keep  the  law  of 
Moses. 

6  And  the  apostles  and  elders  came 
together  for  to  consider  of  this  matter. 

7  And  when  there  had  been  much  dis- 
puting, Peter  rose  up,  and  said  unto 
them,  Men  and  brethren,  ye  know  how 
that  a  good  while  ago  God  made  choice 
among  us,  that  the  Gentiles  by  my  mouth 
should  hear  the  word  of  the  gospel,  and 
believe. 

8  And  God,  which  knoweth  the  hearts, 
bare  them  witness,  giving  them  the  Holy 
Ghost,  even  as  he  did  unto  us ; 

9  And  put  no  difference  between  us  and 
them,  purifying  their  hearts  by  faith. 

10  Now  therefore  why  tempt  ye  God, 
to  put  a  yoke  upon  the  neck  of  the 
disciples,  which  neither  our  fathers  nor 
we  were  able  to  bear? 

11  But  we  believe  that  through  the 
grace  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  we  shall 
be  saved,  even  as  they. 

12  Then  all  the  multitude  kept  silence, 
and  gave  audience  to  Barnabas  and  Paul, 
declaring  what  miracles  and  wonders  God 
had  wrought  among  the  Gentiles  by 
them. 

13  And  after  they  had  held  their  peace, 
James  answered,  saying.  Men  and 
brethren,  hearken  unto  me : 

14  Simon  hath  declared  how  God  at 
the  first  did  visit  the  Gentiles,  to  take  out 
of  them  a  people  for  his  name. 

15  And  to  this  agree  the  words  of  the 
prophets;  as  it  is  written, 

16  After  this  I  will  return,  and  will 
build  again  the  tabernacle  of  David, 
which  is  fallen  down ;  and  I  will  build 
again  the  ruins  thereof,  and  I  will  set  it 
up: 

17  That  the  residue  of  men  might  seek 
after  the  Lord,  and  all  the  Gentiles,  upon 


that  Paul  and  Barnabas,  and  cer- 
tain other  of  them,  should  go  up  to 
Jerusalem  unto  the  apostles  and 
elders  about  this  question.  3  They 
therefore,  being  brought  on  their 
way  by  the  church,  passed  through 
both  Phoenicia  and  Samaria,  de- 
claring the  conversion  of  the  Gen- 
tiles:  and  they  caused  great  joy 
unto  all  the  brethren.  4  And  when 
they  were  come  to  Jerusalem,  they 
were  received  of  the  church  and 
the  apostles  and  the  elders,  and 
they  rehearsed  all  things  that  God

to  charge  them  to  keep  the  law  of 
Moses. 

6  And  the  apostles  and  the

consider  of  this  matter.  7  And 
when  there  had  been  much  ques- 
tioning, Peter  rose  up,  and  said 
unto  them,

9  and  he  made  no  distinction  be-

why  tempt  ye  God,  that  ye  should

whom  my  name  is  called,  saith  the  Lord, 
who   doeth  all  these  things. 

18  Known  unto  God  are  all  his  works 
from  the  beginning  of  the  world. 

19  Wherefore  my  sentence  is,  that  we 
trouble  not  them,  which  from  among  the 
Gentiles  are  turned  to  God : 

20  But  that  we  write  un^o  them,  that 
they  abstain  from  pollutions  of  idols,  and 
from  fornication,  and  from  things 
strangled,  and  from  blood. 

21  For  Moses  of  old  time  hath  in  every 
city  them  that  preach  him,  being  read  in 
the  synagogues  every  sabbath  day. 

22  Then  pleased  it  the  apostles  and 
elders,  with  the  whole  church,  to  send 
chosen  men  of  their  own  company  to  An- 
tioch  with  Paul  and.  Barnabas;  namely, 
Judas  surnamed  Barsabas,  and  Silas, 
chief  men  among  the  brethren : 

2^  And  they  wrote  letters  by  them  after 
this  manner;  The  apostles  and  elders  and 
brethren  send  greeting  unto  the  brethren 
which  are  of  the  Gentiles  in  Antioch  and 
Syria  and   Cilicia : 

24  Forasmuch  as  we  have  heard,  that 
certain  which  went  out  from  us  have 
troubled  you  with  words,  subverting  your 
souls,  saying.  Ye  must  be  circumcised, 
and  keep  the  law :  to  whom  we  gave  no 
such  commandment : 

25  It  seemed  good  unto  us,  being  as- 
sembled with  one  accord,  to  send  chosen 
men  unto  you  with  our  beloved  Barnabas 
and  Paul, 

26  Men  that  have  hazarded  their  lives 
for  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

27  We  have  sent  therefore  Judas  and 
Silas,  who  shall  also  tell  you  the  same 
things  by  mouth. 

28  For  it  seemed  good  to  the  Holy 
Ghost,  and  to  us,  to  lay  upon  you  no 
greater  burden  than  these  necessary 
things ; 

29  That  ye  abstain  from  meats  offered 
to  idols,  and  from  blood,  and  from  things 
strangled,  and  from  fornication :  from 
which  if  ye  keep  yourselves,  ye  shall  do 
well.     Fare  ye  well. 

30  So  when  they  were  dismissed,  they 
came  to  Antioch :  and  when  they  had 
gathered  the  multitude  together,  they  de- 
livered  the   epistle : 

31  Which  when  they  had  read,  they 
rejoiced  for  the  consolation. 

32  And  Judas  and  Silas,  being  prophets 
also  themselves,  exhorted  the  brethren 
with  many  words,  and  confirmed  them. 

ZZ  And  after  they  had  tarried  there  a 


nacle     of     David,     which     is 

fallen ; 
And  I  will  build  again  the  ruins 

thereof. 
And  I  will  set  it  up: 

17  That  the   residue   of   men   may 

seek  after  the  Lord, 
And  all  the  Gentiles,  upon  whom, 
my  name  is  called, 

18  Saith    the    Lord,    who    maketh 

these  things  known   from  the 
beginning  of  the  world. 

19  Wherefore  my  judgement  is, 
that  we  trouble  not  them  which 
from  among  the  Gentiles  turn  to 
God ;  20  but  that  we  write  unto 
them,  that  they  abstain  from  the 
pollutions  of  idols,  and  from  forni- 
cation, and  from  what  is  strangled, 
and  from  blood.  21  For  Moses 
from  generations  of  old  hath  in 
every  city  them  that  preach  him, 
being  read  in  the  synagogues  every 
sabbath. 

22  Then  it  seemed  good  to  the 
apostles  and  the  elders,  with  the 
whole  church,  to  choose  men  out  of 
their  company,  and  send  them  to 
Antioch  with  Paul  and  Barnabas; 
namely,  Judas  called  Barsabbas, 
and  Silas,  chief  men  among  the

brethren  unto  the  brethren  which 
are  of  the  Gentiles  in  Antioch  and 
Syria  and  Cilicia,  greeting :  24  For- 
asmuch as  we  have  heard  that  cer- 
tain which  went  out  from  us  have 
troubled  you  with  words,  subvert-

good  unto  us,  having  come  to  one

them  unto  you  with  our  beloved 
Barnabas  and  Paul,  26  men  that 
have  hazarded  their  lives  for  the 
name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ.

these  necessary  things ;  29  that  ye 
abstain  from  things  sacrificed  to 
idols,  and  from  blood,  and  from 
things  strangled,  and  from  fornica-

And  I  will  build  again  the 
tabernacle  of  David,  which  is 
fallen ; 

And  I  will  build  again  the 
ruins  thereof, 

And  I  will  set  it  up : 

17  That   the    residue   of   men    may- 

seek  after  the   Lord, 
And  all  the  Gentiles,  upon  whom 
my  name  is  called, 

18  Saith    the    Lord,     who    maketh 

these    things    known    from   of 
old. 

19  Wherefore  my  judgment  is,  that 
we  trouble  not  them  that  from 
among  the   Gentiles   turn   to   God; 

20  but  that  we  write  unto  them, 
that  they  abstain  from  the  pollu- 
tions of  idols,  and  from  fornication, 
and  from  what  is  strangled,  and 
from  blood,  21  For  Moses  from 
generations  of  old  hath  in  every 
city  them  that  preach  him,  being 
read  in  the  synagogues  every 
sabbath. 

22  Then  it  seemed  good  to  the 
apostles  and  the  elders,  with  the 
whole  church,  to  choose  men  out 
of  their  company,  and  send  them 
to  Antioch  with  Paul  and  Barna- 
bas; namely,  Judas  called  Barsab- 
bas,  and  Silas,  chief  men  among 
the  brethren :  23  and  they  wrote 
thus  by  them,  The  apostles  and  the 
elders,  brethren,  unto  the  brethren 
who  are  of  the  Gentiles  in  Antioch 
and  Syria  and  Cilicia,  greeting:  24 
Forasmuch  as  we  have  heard  that 
certain  who  went  out  from  us  have 
troubled  you  with  words,  subvert- 
ing your  souls;  to  whom  we  gave 
no  commandment ;  25  it  seemed 
good  unto  us,  having  come  to  one 
accord,  to  choose  out  men  and  send 
them  unto  you  with  our  beloved 
Barnabas  and  Paul,  26  men  that 
have  hazarded  their  lives  for  the 
name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 
27  W^  have  sent  therefore  Judas 
and  Silas,  who  themselves  also  shall 
tell  you  the  same  things  by  word 
of  mouth.  28  For  it  seemed  good 
to  the  Holy  Spirit,  and  to  us,  to 
lay  upon  you  no  greater  burden 
than  these  necessary  things :  29  that 
ye  abstain  from  things  sacrificed 
to  idols,  and  from  blood,  and  from 
things  strangled,  and  from  fornica- 
tion;  from  which  if  ye  keep  your- 


19  For  which  cause  I  judge  that  they, 
who  from  among  the  Gentiles  are  con- 
verted to  God,  are  not  to  be  disquieted. 

20  But  that  we  write  unto  them,  that 
they  refrain  themselves  from  the  pollu- 
tions of  idols,  and  from  fornication,  and 
from  things  strangled,  and  from  blood. 

21  For  Moses  of  old  time  hath  in  every 
city  them  that  preach  him  in  the  syna- 
gogues, where  he  is  read  every  sab- 
bath. 

22  Then  it  pleased  the  apostles  and  an- 
cients, with  the  whole  church,  to  choose 
men  of  their  own  company,  and  to  send 
to  Antioch,  with  Paul  and  Barnabas, 
namely,  Judas,  who  was  surnamed  Bar- 
sabas,  and  Silas,  chief  men  among  the 
brethren. 

23  Writing  by  their  hands :  The  apostles 
and  ancients,  brethren,  to  the  brethren 
of  the  Gentiles  that  are  at  Antioch,  and 
in  Syria  and  Cilicia,  greeting. 

24  Forasmuch  as  we  have  heard,  that 
some  going  out  from  us  have  troubled 
you  with  words,  subverting  your  souls; 
to  whom  we  gave  no  commandment : 

25  It  hath  seemed  good  to  us,  being  as- 
sembled together,  to  choose  out  men,  and 
to  send  them  unto  you,  with  our  well 
beloved  Barnabas  and  Paul: 

26  Men  that  have  given  their  lives  for 
the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

27  We  have  sent  therefore  Judas  and 
Silas,  who  themselves  also  will,  by  word 
of  mouth,  tell  you  the  same  things. 

28  For  it  hath  seemed  good  to  the  Holy 
Ghost  and  to  us,  to  lay  no  further  bur- 
den upon  you  than  these  necessary 
things : 

29  That  you  abstain  from  things  sacri- 
ficed to  idols,  and  from  blood,  and  from 
things  strangled,  and  from  fornication; 
from  which  things  keeping  yourselves, 
you  shall  do  well.     Fare  ye  well. 

30  They  therefore  being  dismissed,  went 
down  to  Antioch ;  and  gathering  together 
the    multitude,    delivered    the    epistle. 

31  Which  when  they  had  read,  they  re- 
joiced for  the  consolation. 

32  But  Judas  and  Silas,  being  prophets 
also  themselves,  with  many  words  com- 
forted the  brethren,  and  confirmed  them. 

33  And  after  they  had  spent  some  time 
there,  they  were  let  go  with  peace  by 
the  brethren,  unto  them  that  had  sent 
them. 

34  But  it  seemed  good  unto  Silas  to  re- 
main there;  and  Judas  alone  departed  to 
Jerusalem.

space,  they  were  let  go  in  peace  from  the 
brethren  unto  the  apostles. 

34  Notwithstanding  it  pleased  Silas  to 
abide  there  still. 

35  Paul  also  and  Barnabas  continued 
in  Antioch,  teaching  and  preaching  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  with  many  others  also. 

36  And  some  days  after  Paul  said  unto 
Barnabas,  Let  us  go  again  and  visit  our 
brethren  in  every  city  where  we  have 
preached  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  see 
how  they  do. 

37  And  Barnabas  determined  to  take 
with  them  John,  whose  surname  was 
Mark. 

38  But  Paul  thought  not  good  to  take 
him  with  them,  who  departed  from  them 
from  Pamphylia,  and  went  not  with  them 
to  the  work. 

39  And  the  contention  was  so  sharp  be- 
tween them,  that  they  departed  asunder 
one  from  the  other:  and  so  Barnabas 
took  Mark,  and  sailed  unto  Cyprus; 

40  And  Paul  chose  Silas,  and  departed, 
being  recommended  by  the  brethren  unto 
the  grace  of  God. 

41  And  he  went  through  Syria  and 
Cilicia,  confirming  the  churches. 


CHAPTER  16. 

THEN  came  he  to  Derbe  and  Lystra: 
and,  behold,  a  certain  disciple  was 
there,  named  Timotheus,  the  son  of  a 
certain  woman,  which  was  a  Jewess,  and 
believed;  but  his  father  was  a  Greek: 

2  Which  was  well  reported  of  by  the 
brethren  that  were  at  Lystra  and  Iconium. 

3  Him  would  Paul  have  to  go  forth 
with  him ;  and  took  and  circumcised 
him  because  of  the  Jews  which  were  in 
those  quarters :  for  they  knew  all  that 
his  father  was  a  Greek. 

4  And  as  they  went  through  the  cities, 
they  delivered  them  the  decrees  for  to 
keep,  that  were  ordained  of  the  apostles 
and  elders  which  were  at  Jerusalem. 

5  And  so  were  the  churches  established

30  So  they,  when  they  were  dis- 
missed, came  down  to  Antioch ;  and 
having  gathered  the  multitude  to- 
gether,  they   delivered   the    epistle. 

31  And  when  they  had  read  it, 
they    rejoiced    for   the    consolation. 

32  And  Judas  and  Silas,  being  them- 
selves also  prophets,  exhorted  the 
brethren  with  many  words,  and 
confirmed  them.  33  And  after  they 
had  spent  some  time  there,  they 
were  dismissed  in  peace  from  the 
brethren  unto  those  that  had  sent 
them  forth.  35  But  Paul  and  Bar- 
nabas tarried  in  Antioch,  teaching 
and  preaching  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  with  many  others  also. 

36  And  after  some  days  Paul  said 
unto  Barnabas,  Let  us  return  now 
and  visit  the  brethren  in  every  city 
wherein  we  proclaimed  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  and  see  how  they 
fare.  37  And  Barnabas  was  mind- 
ed to  take  with  them  John  also, 
who  was  called  Mark.  38  But  Paul 
thought  not  good  to  take  with  them 
him  who  withdrew  from  them  from 
Pamphylia,  and  went  not  with  them 
to  the  work.  39  And  there  arose  a 
sharp  contention,  so  that  they 
parted  asunder  one  from  the  other, 
and  Barnabas  took  Mark  with  him, 
and  sailed  away  unto  Cyprus;  40 
but  Paul  chose  Silas,  and  went 
forth,  being  commended  by  the 
brethren  to  the  grace  of  the  Lord. 
41  And  he  went  through  Syria  and 
Cilicia,  confirming  the  churches.

AND  he  came  to  Derbe  and  Lystra. 
And  behold,  there  was  a  certain 
disciple  there  named  Timothy,  the  son 
of  a  Jewish  woman  that  believed;  but 
his  father  was  a  Gentile.

cised him,  because  of  the  Jews  who  were 
in  those  places.  For  they  all  knew  that 
his  father  was  a  Gentile.

in    the    faith,    and    increased    in    number 
daily. 

6  Now  when  they  had  gone  throughout 
Phrygia  and  the  region  of  Galatia,  and 
were  forbidden  of  the  Holy  Ghost  to 
preach  the  word  in  Asia, 

7  After  they  were  come  to  Mysia,  they 
assayed  to  go  into  Bithynia :  but  the 
Spirit  suffered  them  not. 

8  And  they  passing  by  Mysia  came 
down  to  Troas. 

9  And  a  vision  appeared  to  Paul  in 
the  night;  There  stood  a  man  of  Mace- 
donia, and  prayed  him,  saying,  Come 
over  into  Macedonia,  and  help  us. 

ID  And  after  he  had  seen  the  vision, 
immediately  we  endeavoured  to  go  into 
Macedonia,  assuredly  gathering  that  the 
Lord  had  called  us  for  to  preach  the 
gospel  unto  them. 

11  Therefore  loosing  from  Troas,  we 
came  with  a  straight  course  to  Samo- 
thracia,  and  the  next  day  to  Neapolis ; 

12  And  from  thence  to  Philippi,  which 
is  the  chief  city  of  that  part  of  Mace- 
donia, and  a  colony :  and  we  were  in  that 
city  abiding  certain  days. 

13  And  on  the  sabbath  we  went  out  of 
the  city  by  a  river  side,  where  prayer 
was  wont  to  be  made;  and  we  sat  down, 
and  spake  unto  the  women  which  re- 
sorted thither. 

14  And  a  certain  woman  named  Lydia, 
a  seller  of  purple,  of  the  city  of  Thya- 
tira,  which  worshipped  God,  heard  us: 
whose  heart  the  Lord  opened,  that  she 
attended  unto  the  things  which  were 
spoken  of  Paul. 

15  And  when  she  was  baptized,  and  her 
household,  she  besought  us,  saying,  If  ye 
have  judged  me  to  be  faithful  to  the 
Lord,  come  into  my  house,  and  abide 
there.     And  she  constrained  us. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  we  went  to 
prayer,  a  certain  damsel  possessed  with 
a  spirit  of  divination  met  us,  which 
brought  her  masters  much  gain  by  sooth- 
saying : 

17  The  same  followed  Paul  and  us, 
and  cried,  saying,  These  men  are  the 
servants  of  the  most  high  God,  which 
shew  unto  us  the  way  of  salvation. 

18  And  this  did  she  many  days.  But 
Paul,  being  grieved,  turned  and  said  to 
the  spirit,  I  command  thee  in  the  name 
of  Jesus  Christ  to  come  out  of  her.  And 
he  came  out  the  same  hour. 

19  And  when  her  masters  saw  that  the 
hope    of    their    gains    was    gone,    they 


elders  that  were  at  Jerusalem. 
5  So  the  churches  were  strength- 
ened in  the  faith,  and  increased  in 
number  daily. 

6  And  they  went  through  the 
region  of  Phrygia  and  Galatia, 
having  been  forbidden  of  the  Holy 
Ghost  to  speak  the  word  in  Asia; 
7  and  when  they  were  come  over 
against  Mysia,  they  assayed  to  go 
into  Bithynia;  and  the  Spirit  of 
Jesus  suffered  them  not;  8  and 
passing  by  Mysia,  they  came  down 
to  Troas.  9  And  a  vision  appeared 
to  Paul  in  the  night ;  There  was  a 
man  of  Macedonia  standing,  be- 
seeching him,  and  saying,  Come 
over  into  Macedonia,  and  help  us. 
10  And  when  he  had  seen  the  vision, 
straightway  we  sought  to  go  forth 
into  Macedonia,  concluding  that 
God  had  called  us  for  to  preach  the 
gospel  unto  them. 

II  Setting  sail  therefore  from 
Troas,  we  made  a  straight  course 
to  Samothrace,  and  the  day  follow- 
ing to  Neapolis ;  12  and  from  thence 
to  Philippi,  which  is  a  city  of 
Macedonia,  the  first  of  the  district, 
a  Roman  colony:  and  we  were  in 
this  city  tarrying  certain  days. 
13  And  on  the  sabbath  day  we 
went  forth  without  the  gate  by  a 
river  side,  where  we  supposed  there 
was  a  place  of  prayer ;  and  we  sat 
down,  and  spake  unto  the  women 
which  were  come  together.  14  And 
a  certain  woman  named  Lydia,  a 
seller  of  purple,  of  the  city  of  Thy- 
atira,  one  that  worshipped  God, 
heard  us :  whose  heart  the  Lord 
opened,  to  give  heed  unto  the  things 
which  were  spoken  by  Paul.  15 
And  when  she  was  baptized,  and 
her  household,  she  besought  us,  say- 
ing, If  ye  have  judged  me  to  be 
faithful  to  the  Lord,  come  into  my 
house,  and  abide  there.  And  she 
constrained  us. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  we 
were  going  to  the  place  of  prayer, 
that  a  certain  maid  having  a  spirit 
of  divination  met  us,  which  brought 
her  masters  much  gain  by  sooth- 
saying. 17  The  same  following 
after  Paul  and  us  cried  out,  say- 
ing, These  men  are  servants  of  the 
Most  High  God,  which  proclaim 
unto    you    the    way    of    salvation.

in  this  city  tarrying  certain  days, 
13  And  on  the  sabbath  day  we  went 
forth  without  the  gate  by  a  river 
side,  where  we  supposed  there  was 
a  place  of  prayer;  and  we  sat  down, 
and  spake  unto  the  women  that 
were  come  together.  14  And  a  cer- 
tain woman  named  Lydia,  a  seller 
of  purple,  of  the  city  of  Thyatira, 
one  that  worshipped  God,  heard 
us:  whose  heart  the  Lord  opened 
to  give  heed  unto  the  things  which 
were  spoken  by  Paul.  15  And  when 
she  was  baptized,  and  her  house- 
hold, she  besought  us,  saying.  If 
ye  have  judged  me  to  be  faithful 
to  the  Lord,  come  into  my  house, 
and  abide  there.  And  she  con- 
strained us. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  we 
were  going  to  the  place  of  prayer, 
that  a  certain  maid  having  a 
spirit  of  divination  met  us,  who 
brought  her  masters  much  gain  by 
soothsaying.  17  The  same  follow- 
ing after  Paul  and  us  cried  out, 
saying.  These  men  are  servants  of 
the  Most  High  God,  who  proclaim 
unto  you  the  way  of  salvation.     18 


apostles  and  ancients  who  were  at  Jeru- 
salem. 

5  And  the  churches  were  confirmed  in 
faith,  and  increased  in  number  daily. 

6  And  when  they  had  passed  through 
Phrygia,  and  the  country  of  Galatia,  they 
were  forbidden  by  the  Holy  Ghost  to 
preach  the  word  in  Asia. 

7  And  when  they  were  come  into  My- 
sia, they  attempted  to  go  into  Bithynia, 
and  the  Spirit  of  Jesus  suffered  them 
not. 

8  And  when  they  had  passed  through 
Mysia,  they  went  down  to  Troas. 

9  And  a  vision  was  shewed  to  Paul  in 
the  night,  which  was  a  man  of  Macedo- 
nia standing  and  beseeching  him,  and 
saying:  Pass  over  into  Macedonia,  and 
help  us. 

ID  And  as  soon  as  he  had  seen  the  vi- 
sion, immediately  we  sought  to  go  into 
Macedonia,  being  assured  that  God  had 
called  us  to  preach  the  gospel  to  them. 

11  And  sailing  from  Troas,  we  came 
with  a  straight  course  to  Samothracia, 
and  the  day  following  to  Neapolis; 

12  And  from  thence  to  Philippi,  which 
is  the  chief  city  of  part  of  Macedonia,  a 
colony.  And  we  were  in  this  city  some 
days  conferring  together, 

13  And  upon  the  sabbath  day,  we  went 
forth  Avithout  the  gate  by  a  river  side, 
where  it  seemed  that  there  was  prayer; 
and  sitting  down,  we  spoke  to  the 
women  that  were  assembled. 

14  And  a  certain  woman  named  Lydia, 
a  seller  of  purple,  of  the  city  of  Thya- 
tira, one  that  worshipped  God,  did  hear: 
whose  heart  the  Lord  opened  to  attend 
to  those  things  which  were  said  by  Paul. 

15  And  when  she  was  baptized,  and  her 
household,  she  besought  us,  saying:  If 
you  have  judged  me  to  be  faithful  to  the 
Lord,  come  into  my  house,  and  abide 
there.    And  she  constrained  us, 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  we  went  to 
prayer,  a  certain  girl,  having  a  python- 
ical  spirit,  met  us,  who  brought  to  her 
masters  much  gain  by  divining, 

17  This  same  following  Paul  and  us, 
cried  out,  saying:  These  men  are  the 
servants  of  the  most  high  God,  who 
preach  unto  you  the  way  of  salvation. 

18  And  this  she  did  many  days.  But 
Paul  being  grieved,  turned,  and  said  to 
the  spirit:  I  command  thee,  in  the  name 
of  Jesus  Christ,  to  go  out  from  her.  And 
he  went  out  the  same  hour, 

19  But   her   masters,   seeing   that   the

caught   Paul   and   Silas,  and   drew   them 
into  the  market-place  unto  the  rulers, 

20  And  brought  them  to  the  magis- 
trates, saying,  These  men,  being  Jews,  do 
exceedingly  trouble  our  city, 

21  And  teach  customs,  which  are  not 
lawful  for  us  to  receive,  neither  to  ob- 
serve, being  Romans. 

22  And  the  multitude  rose  up  together 
against  them :  and  the  magistrates  rent 
off  their  clothes,  and  commanded  to 
beat  them. 

23  And  when  they  had  laid  many 
stripes  upon  them,  they  cast  them  into 
prison,  charging  the  jailor  to  keep  them 
safely : 

24  Who,  having  received  such  a  charge, 
thrust  them  into  the  inner  prison,  and 
made  their  feet  fast  in  the  stocks. 

25  And  at  midnight  Paul  and  Silas 
prayed,  and  sang  praises  unto  God:  and 
the  prisoners  heard  them. 

26  And  suddenly  there  was  a  great 
earthquake,  so  that  the  foundations  of 
the  prison  were  shaken :  and  immediately 
all  the  doors  were  opened,  and  every 
one's  bands  were  loosed. 

27  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison  awak- 
ing out  of  his  sleep,  and  seeing  the 
prison  doors  open,  he  drew  out  his  sword, 
and  would  have  killed  himself,  suppos- 
ing that  the  prisoners  had  been  fled. 

28  But  Paul  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
saying.  Do  thyself  no  harm:  for  we  are 
all  here. 

29  Then  he  called  for  a  light,  and 
sprang  in,  and  came  trembling,  and  fell 
down  before  Paul  and  Silas, 

30  And  brought  them  out,  and  said, 
Sirs,  what  must  I  do  to  be  saved? 

31  And  they  said,  Believe  on  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  and  thou  shalt  be  saved, 
and  thy  house. 

32  And  they  spake  unto  him  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  and  to  all  that  were  in  his 
house. 

33  And  he  took  them  the  same  hour 
of  the  night,  and  washed  their  stripes; 
and  was  baptized,  he  and  all  his,  straight- 
way. 

34  And  when  he  had  brought  them  into 
his  house,  he  set  meat  before  them,  and 
rejoiced,  believing  in  God  with  all  his 
house. 

35  And  when  it  was  day,  the  magis- 
trates sent  the  Serjeants,  saying.  Let  those 
men  go. 

36  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison  told 
this  saying  to  Paul,  The  magistrates  have

But  Paul,  being  sore  troubled, 
turned  and  said  to  the  spirit,  I 
charge  thee  in  the  name  of  Jesus 
Christ  to  come  out  of  her.  And  it 
came  out  that  very  hour. 

19  But  when  her  masters  saw  that 
the  hope  of  their  gain  was  gone, 
they  laid  hold  on  Paul  and  Silas, 
and  dragged  them  into  the  market- 
place before  the  rulers,  20  and 
when  they  had  brought  them  unto 
the  magistrates,  they  said,  These 
men,  being  Jews,  do  exceedingly 
trouble  our  city,  21  and  set  forth 
customs  which  it  is  not  lawful  for

rose  up  together  against  them :  and 
the  magistrates  rent  their  garments 
off  them,  and  commanded  to  beat 
them  with  rods.  23  And  when  they 
had  laid  many  stripes  upon  them, 
they  cast  them  into  prison,  charg- 
ing the  jailor  to  keep  them  safely: 
24  who,  having  received  such  a 
charge,  cast  them  into  the  inner 
prison,  and  made  their  feet  fast

night Paul  and  Silas  were  praying 
and  singing  hymns  unto  God,  and 
the  prisoners  were  listening  to 
them ;  26  and  suddenly  there  was  a 
great  earthquake,  so  that  the 
foundations  of  the  prison-house 
were  shaken :  and  immediately  all 
the  doors  were  opened ;  and  every 
one's  bands  were  loosed.  27  And 
the  jailor  being  roused  out  of  sleep, 
and  seeing  the  prison  doors  open, 
drew  his  sword,  and  was  about 
to  kill  himself,  supposing  that  the 
prisoners  had  escaped.  28  But  Paul 
cried  with  a  loud  voice,  saying,  Do 
thyself  no  harm:  for  we  are  all 
here.  29  And  he  called  for  lights, 
and  sprang  in,  and,  trembling  for 
fear,  fell  down  before  Paul  and 
Silas,  30  and  brought  them  out, 
and  said.  Sirs,  what  must  I  do  to 
be  saved?  31  And  they  said,  Be- 
lieve on  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  thou 
shalt  be  saved,  thou  and  thy  house. 
32  And  they  spake  the  word  of  the 
Lord  unto  him,  with  all  that  were 
in  his  house.  33  And  he  took  them 
the  same  hour  of  the  night,  and 
washed  their  stripes ;  and  was  bap- 
tized, he  and  all  his,  immediately.

CHAPTER  17. 

NOW  when  they  had  passed  through 
Amphipolis  and  Apollonia,  they 
came  to  Thessalonica,  where  was  a  syna- 
gogue of  the  Jews: 

2  And  Paul,  as  his  manner  was,  went 
in  unto  them,  and  three  sabbath  days 
reasoned  with  them  out  of  the  scrip- 
tures, 

3  Opening  and  alleging,  that  Christ 
must  needs  have  suffered,  and  risen  again 
from  the  dead ;  and  that  this  Jesus,  whom 
I  preach  unto  you,  is  Christ. 

4  And  some  of  them  believed,  and  con- 
sorted with  Paul  and  Silas;  and  of  the 
devout  Greeks  a  great  multitude,  and  of 
the  chief  women  not  a  few. 

5  But  the  Jews  which  believed  not, 
moved  with  envy,  took  unto  them  cer- 
tain lewd  fellows  of  the  baser  sort,  and 
gathered  a  company,  and  set  all  the  city 
on  an  uproar,  and  assaulted  the  house  of 
Jason,  and  sought  to  bring  them  out  to 
the  people. 

6  And  when  they  found  them  not,  they 
drew  Jason  and  certain  brethren  unto 
the  rulers  of  the  city,  crying,  These  that 
have  turned  the  world  upside  down  are 
come  hither  also; 


34  And  he  brought  them  up  into  his 
house,  and  set  meat  before  them, 
and  rejoiced  greatly,  with  all  his 
house,  having  believed  in  God.

Romans ;  39  and  they  came  and  be- 
sought them;  and  when  they  had 
brought  them  out,  they  asked  them 
to  go  away  from  the  city.  40  And 
they  went  out  of  the  prison,  and 
entered  into  the  house  of  Lydia:

custom  was,  went  in  unto  them, 
and  for  three  sabbath  days  rea- 
soned with  them  from  the  scrip- 
tures, 3  opening  and  alleging,  that 
it  behoved  the  Christ  to  suffer,  and 
to  rise  again  from  the  dead;  and 
that  this  Jesus,  whom,  said  he,  I 
proclaim  unto  you,  is  the  Christ.

suaded, and  consorted  with  Paul 
and  Silas;  and  of  the  devout  Greeks 
a  great  multitude,  and  of  the  chief 
women  not  a  few.  5  But  the  Jews, 
being  moved  with  jealousy,  took 
unto  them  certain  vile  fellows  of 
the  rabble,  and  gathering  a  crowd, 
set  the  city  on  an  uproar;  and 
assaulting  the  house  of  Jason,  they 
sought  to  bring  them  forth  to  the 
people.  6  And  when  they  found 
them  not,  they  dragged  Jason  and 
certain  brethren  before  the  rulers 
of  the  city,  crying,  These  that  have

dragged  Jason  and  certain  breth- 
ren before   the   rulers   of   the   city, 


36  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison  told 
these  words  to  Paul :  The  magistrates 
have  sent  to  let  you  go;  now  therefore 
depart,  and  go  in  peace. 

Z7  But  Paul  said  to  them :  They  have 
beaten  us  publicly,  uncondemned,  men 
that  are  Romans,  and  have  cast  us  into 
prison :  and  now  do  they  thrust  us  out 
privately?     Not  so;  but  let  them  come, 

38  And  let  us  out  themselves.  And  the 
Serjeants  told  these  words  to  the  magis- 
trates. And  they  were  afraid,  hearing 
that  they  were  Romans. 

39  And  coming,  they  besought  them; 
and  bringing  them  out,  they  desired  them 
to  depart  out  of  the  city. 

40  And  they  went  out  of  the  prison,  and 
entered  into  tlie  house  of  Lydia;  and 
having  seen  the  brethren,  they  comforted 
them,  and  departed. 


CHAPTER  17. 

AND  when  they  had  passed  through 
Amphipolis  and  Apollonia,  they 
came  to  Thessalonica,  where  there  was 
a  synagogue  of  the  Jews. 

2  And  Paul,  according  to  his  custom, 
went  in  unto  them;  and  for  three  sab- 
bath days  he  reasoned  with  them  out  of 
the  scriptures : 

3  Declaring  and  insinuating  that  the 
Christ  was  to  suffer,  and  to  rise  again 
frorn  the  dead;  and  that  this  is  Jesus 
Christ,  whom  I  preach  to  you. 

4  And  some  of  them  believed,  and  were 
associated  to  Paul  and  Silas ;  and  of  those 
that  served  God,  and  of  the  Gentiles  a 
great  multitude,  and  of  noble  women  not 
a  few. 

5  But  the  Jews,  moved  with  envy,  and 
taking  unto  them  some  wicked  men  of 
the  vulgar  sort,  and  making  a  tumult, 
set  the  city  in  an  uproar ;  and  besetting 
Jason's  house,  sought  to  bring  them  out 
unto  the  people. 

6  And  not  finding  them,  they  drew 
Jason  and  certain  brethren  to  the  rul- 
ers of  the  city,  crying:  They  that  set 
the  city  in  an  uproar,  are  come  hither 
also;

7  Whom  Jason  hath  received :  and 
these  all  do  contrary  to  the  decrees  of 
Caesar,  saying  that  there  is  another  king, 
one  Jesus. 

8  And  they  troubled  the  people  and 
the  rulers  of  the  city,  when  they  heard 
these  things. 

9  And  when  they  had  taken  security  of 
Jason,  and  of  the  other,  they  let  them 
go. 

10  And  the  brethren  immediately  sent 
away  Paul  and  Silas  by  night  unto  Berea : 
who  coming  thither  went  into  the  syna- 
gogue of  the  Jews. 

11  These  were  more  noble  than  those  in 
Thessalonica,  in  that  they  received  the 
word  with  all  readiness  of  mind,  and 
searched  the  scriptures  daily,  whether 
those  things  were  so. 

12  Therefore  many  of  them  believed; 
also  of  honourable  women  which  were 
Greeks,  and  of  men,  not  a  few. 

13  But  when  the  Jews  of  Thessalonica 
had  knowledge  that  the  word  of  God  was 
preached  of  Paul  at  Berea,  they  came 
thither  also,  and  stirred  up  the  peo- 
ple. 

14  And  then  immediately  the  brethren 
sent  away  Paul  to  go  as  it  were  to  the 
sea :  but  Silas  and  Timotheus  abode  there 
still. 

15  And  they  that  conducted  Paul 
brought  him  unto  Athens :  and  receiving 
a  commandment  unto  Silas  and  Timo- 
theus for  to  come  to  him  with  all  speed, 
they  departed. 

16  Now  while  Paul  waited  for  them  at 
Athens,  his  spirit  was  stirred  in  him, 
when  he  saw  the  city  wholly  given  to 
idolatry. 

17  Therefore  disputed  he  in  the  syna- 
gogue with  the  Jews,  and  with  the  devout 
persons,  and  in  the  market  daily  with 
them  that  met  with  him. 

18  Then  certain  philosophers  of  the 
Epicureans,  and  of  the  Stoicks,  encoun- 
tered him.  And  some  said,  What  will 
this  babbler  say?  other  some,  He  seemeth 
to  be  a  setter  forth  of  strange  gods :  be- 
cause he  preached  unto  them  Jesus,  and 
the  resurrection. 

19  And  they  took  him,  and  brought 
him  unto  Areopagus,  saying,  May  we 
know  what  this  new  doctrine,  whereof 
thou  speakest,  isf

Thessalonica  had  knowledge  that 
the  word  of  God  was  proclaimed  of

immediately  the  brethren  sent

21  (For  all  the  Athenians  and  strangers 
which  were  there  spent  their  time  in 
nothing  else,  but  either  to  tell,  or  to  hear 
some  new  thing.) 

22  Then  Paul  stood  in  the  midst  of 
Mars'  hill,  and  said.  Ye  men  of  Athens, 
I  perceive  that  in  all  things  ye  are  too 
superstitious. 

23  For  as  I  passed  by,  and  beheld  your 
devotions,  I  found  an  altar  with  this  in- 
scription, TO  THE  UNKNOWN  GOD. 
Whom  therefore  ye  ignorantly  worship, 
him  declare  I  unto  you. 

24  God  that  made  the  world  and  all 
things  therein,  seeing  that  he  is  Lord  of 
heaven  and  earth,  dwelleth  not  in  temples 
made  with  hands; 

25  Neither  is  worshipped  with  men's 
hands,  as  though  he  needed  any  thing, 
seeing  he  giveth  to  all  life,  and  breath, 
and  all  things ; 

26  And  hath  made  of  one  blood  all  na- 
tions of  men  for  to  dwell  on  all  the  face 
of  the  earth,  and  hath  determined  the 
times  before  appointed,  and  the  bounds  of 
their  habitation; 

27  That  they  should  seek  the  Lord,  if 
haply  they  might  feel  after  him,  and  find 
him,  though  he  be  not  far  from  every  one 
of  us:     • 

28  For  in  him  we  live,  and  move,  and 
have  our  being;  as  certain  also  of  your 
own  poets  have  said.  For  we  are  also  his 
offspring. 

29  Forasmuch  then  as  we  are  the  off- 
spring of  God,  we  ought  not  to  think  that 
the  Godhead  is  like  unto  gold,  or  sil- 
ver, or  stone,  graven  by  art  and  man's 
device. 

30  And  the  times  of  this  ignorance  God 
winked  at ;  but  now  commandeth  all  men 
every  where  to  repent : 

31  Because  he  hath  appointed  a  day,  in 
the  which  he  will  judge  the  world  in 
righteousness  by  that  man  whom  he  hath 
ordained;  whereof  he  hath  given  assur- 
ance unto  all  men,  in  that  he  hath  raised 
him  from  the  dead. 

32  And  when  they  heard  of  the  resur- 
rection of  the  dead,  some  mocked :  and 
others  said.  We  will  hear  thee  again  of 
this  matter. 

33  So  Paul  departed  from  among 
them. 

34  Howbeit  certain  men  clave  unto 
him,  and  believed :  among  the  which 
was    Dionysius    the    Areopagite,    and    a 


things  to  our  ears :  we  would  know 
therefore  what  these  things   mean.

strangers  sojourning  there  spent

to  tell  or  to  hear  some  new  thing.) 

22  And  Paul  stood  in  the  midst  of 
the  Areopagus,  and  said. 

Ye  men  of  Athens,  in  all  things

worship  in  ignorance,  this  set  I 
forth  unto  you.  24  The  God  that 
made  the  world  and  all  things  there-

every  nation  of  men  for  to  dwell 
on  all  the  face  of  the  earth,  hav- 
ing determined  their  appointed  sea-

God,  if  haply  they  might  feel  after

him  we  live,  and  move,  and  have

to  think  that  the  Godhead  is  like 
unto  gold,  or  silver,  or  stone, 
graven  by  art  and  device  of  man. 
30  The  times  of  ignorance  therefore 
God  overlooked ;  but  now  he  com- 
mandeth men  that  they  should  all 
everywhere  repent:  31  inasmuch  as 
he  hath  appointed  a  day,  in  the

hath  appointed  a  day  in  which  he 
will  judge  the  world  in  righteous- 
ness by  the  man  whom  he  hath  or- 
dained ;  whereof  he  hath  given 
assurance  unto  all  men,  in  that  he

22  But  Paul  standing  in  the  midst  of

23  For  passing  by,  and  seeing  your 
idols,  I  found  an  altar  also,  on  which 
was  written :  To  the  unknown  God.  What 
therefore  you  worship,  without  knowing 
it,  that  I  preach  to  you: 

24  God,  who  made  the  world,  and  all 
things  therein;  he,  being  Lord  of  heaven 
and  earth,  dwelleth  not  in  temples  made 
j^ith  hands; 

25  Neither  is  he  served  with  men's 
hands,  as  though  he  needed  any  thing; 
seeing  it  is  he  who  giveth  to  all  life,  and

26  And  hath  made  of  one,  all  mankind, 
to  dwell  upon  the  whole  face  of  the 
earth,  determining  appointed  times,  and 
the  limits  of  their  habitation. 

27  That  they  should  seek  God,  if  hap- 
pily they  may  feel  after  him  or  find  him, 
although  he  be  not  far  from  every  one 
of  us: 

28  For  in  him  we  live,  and  move,  and

said :  For  zve  are  also  his  offspring. 

29  Being  therefore  the  offspring  of 
God,  we  must  not  suppose  the  divin- 
ity to  be  like  unto  gold,  or  silver,  or 
stone,  the  graving  of  art,  and  device  of 
man. 

30  And  God  indeed  having  winked  at 
the  times  of  this  ignorance,  now  declareth 
unto  men,  that  all  should  every  where  do 
penance. 

31  Because  he  hath  appointed  a  day 
wherein  he  will  judge  the  world  in  equity, 
by  the  man  whom  he  hath  appointed ; 
giving  faith  to  all,  by  raising  him  up 
from  the  dead. 

32  And  when  they  had  heard  of  the 
resurrection  of  the  dead,  some  indeed 
mocked,  but  others  said:  We  will  hear 
thee  again  concerning  this  matter. 

Z3  So  Paul  went  out  from  among 
them. 

34  But  certain  men  adhering  to 
him,  did  believe ;  among  whom  was 
also    Dionysius,    the    Areopagite,    and    a

woman  named  Damaris,  and  others  with 
them. 

CHAPTER  i8. 

AFTER    these    things    Paul    departed 
from  Athens,  and  came  to  Corinth ; 

2  And  found  a  certain  Jew  named 
Aquila,  born  in  Pontus,  lately  come  from 
Italy,  with  his  wife  Priscilla;  (because 
that  Claudius  had  commanded  all  Jews  to 
depart  from  Rome:)  and  came  unto 
them. 

3  And  because  he  was  of  the  same  craft, 
he  abode  with  them,  and  wrought :  for 
by  their  occupation  they  were  tentmakers. 

4  And  he  reasoned  in  the  synagogue 
every  sabbath,  and  persuaded  the  Jews 
and  the  Greeks. 

5  And  when  Silas  and  Timotheus  were 
come  from  Macedonia,  Paul  was  pressed 
in  the  spirit,  and  testified  to  the  Jews 
that  Jesus  was  Christ. 

6  And  when  they  opposed  themselves, 
and  blasphemed,  he  shook  his  raiment, 
and  said  unto  them,  Your  blood  be  upon 
your  own  heads ;  I  am  clean :  from  hence- 
forth I  will  go  unto  the  Gentiles. 

7  And  he  departed  thence,  and  entered 
into  a  certain  rnan's  house,  named  Justus, 
one  that  worshipped  God,  whose  house 
joined  hard  to  the  synagogue. 

8  And  Crispus,  the  chief  ruler  of  the 
synagogue,  believed  on  the  Lord  with  all 
his  house ;  and  many  of  the  Corinthians 
hearing  believed,  and  were  baptized. 

9  Then  spake  the  Lord  to  Paul  in  the 
night  by  a  vision,  Be  not  afraid,  but  speak, 
and  hold  not  thy  peace: 

10  For  I  am  with  thee,  and  no  man 
shall  set  on  thee  to  hurt  thee :  for  I  have 
much  people  in  this  city. 

11  And  he  continued  there  a  year  and 
six  months,  teaching  the  word  of  God 
among  them. 

12  And  when  Gallio  was  the  deputy  of 
Achaia,  the  Jews  made  insurrection  with 
one  accord  against  Paul,  and  brought  him 
to  the  judgment  seat, 

13  Saying,  This  fellow  persuadeth  men 
to  worship  God  contrary  to  the  law. 

14  And  when  Paul  was  now  about  to 
open  his  mouth,  Gallio  said  unto  the  Jews, 
If  it  were  a  matter  of  wrong  or  wicked 
lewdness,  O  ye  Jews,  reason  would  that 
I  should  bear  with  you : 

15  But  if  it  be  a  question  of  words  and 
names,  and  of  your  law,  look  ye  to  it; 

.for  I  will  be  no  judge  of  such  matters.

Areopagite,  and  a  woman  named 
Damaris,  and  others  with  them.

of  Pontus  by  race,  lately  come  from 
Italy,  with  his  wife  Priscilla,  be-

the  Jews  to  depart  from  Rome :  and 
he  came  unto  them;  3  and  because 
he  was  of  the  same  trade,  he  abode

by  their  trade  they  were  tentmakers. 
4  And  he  reasoned  in  the  synagogue

5  But  when  Silas  and  Timothy 
came  down  from  Macedonia,  Paul 
was  constrained  by  the  word,  tes- 
tifying to  the  Jews  that  Jesus  was 
the  Christ.  6  And  when  they  op- 
posed themselves,  and  blasphemed, 
he  shook  out  his  raiment,  and  said 
unto  them.  Your  blood  be  upon 
your  own  heads ;  I  am  clean  :  from 
henceforth  I  will  go  unto  the  Gen- 
tiles. 7  And  he  departed  thence, 
and  went  into  the  house  of  a  certain 
man  named  Titus  Justus,  one  that 
worshipped  God,  whose  house 
joined  hard  to  the  synagogue. 
8  And  Crispus,  the  ruler  of  the 
synagogue,  believed  in  the  Lord 
with  all  his  house;  and  many  of 
the  Corinthians  hearing  believed,

AFTER  these  things,  departing  from 
Athens,  he  came  to  Corinth. 

2  And  finding  a  certain  Jew,  named 
Aquila,  born  in  Pontus,  lately  come  from 
Italy,  with  Priscilla  his  wife,  (because 
that  Claudius  had  commanded  all  Jews

3  And  because  he  was  of  the  same  trade, 
he  remained  with  them,  and  wrought; 
(now  they  were  tentmakers  by  trade.) 

4  And  he  reasoned  in  the  synagogue 
every  sabbath,  bringing  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord  Jesus;  and  he  persuaded  the 
Jews  and  the  Greeks. 

5  And  when  Silas  and  Timothy  were 
come  from  Macedonia,  Paul  was  earnest 
in  preaching,  testifying  to  the  Jews,  that 
Jesus  is  the  Christ. 

6  But  they  gainsaying  and  blaspheming, 
he  shook  his  garments,  and  said  to  them : 
Your  blood  be  upon  your  own  heads;  I 
am  clean:  from  henceforth  I  will  go 
unto  the  Gentiles. 

7  And  departing  thence,  he  entered  into 
the  house  of  a  certain  man,  named  Titus 
Justus,  one  that  worshipped  God,  whose 
house  was  adjoining  to  the  synagogue. 

8  And  Crispus,  the  ruler  of  the  syna-

i6  And  he  drave  them  from  the  judg- 
ment seat. 

17  Then  all  the  Greeks  took  Sosthenes, 
the  chief  ruler  of  the  synagogue,  and 
beat  him  before  the  judgment  seat.  And 
Gallio  cared  for  none  of  those  things. 

18  And  Paul  after  this  tarried  there 
yet  a  good  while,  and  then  took  his  leave 
of  the  brethren,  and  sailed  thence  into 
Syria,  and  with  him  Priscilla  and  Aquila ; 
having  shorn  his  head  in  Cenchrea :  for 
he  had  a  vow. 

19  And  he  came  to  Ephesus,  and  left 
them  there:  but  he  himself  entered  into 
the  synagogue,  and  reasoned  with  the 
Jews. 

20  When  they  desired  him  to  tarry 
longer  time  with  them,  he  consented  not ; 

21  But  bade  them  farewell,  saying,  I 
must  by  all  means  keep  this  feast  that 
Cometh  in  Jerusalem :  but  I  will  return 
again  unto  you,  if  God  will.  And  he 
sailed  from  Ephesus. 

22  And  when  he  had  landed  at  Caesarea, 
and  gone  up,  and  saluted  the  church, 
he  went  down  to  Antioch. 

23  And  after  he  had  spent  some  time 
there,  he  departed,  and  went  over  all  the 
country  of  Galatia  and  Phrygia  in  order, 
strengthening  all  the  disciples. 

24  And  a  certain  Jew  named  Apollos, 
born  at  Alexandria,  an  eloquent  man,  and 
mighty  in  the  scriptures,  came  to  Ephesus. 

25  This  man  was  instructed  in  the  way 
of  the  Lord ;  and  being  fervent  in  the 
spirit,  he  spake  and  taught  diligently  the 
things  of  the  Lord,  knowing  only  the 
baptism  of  John. 

26  And  he  began  to  speak  boldly  in  the 
synagogue :  whom  when  Aquila  and 
Priscilla  had  heard,  they  took  him  unto 
them,  and  expounded  unto  him  the  way 
of  God  more  perfectly.      , 

27  And  when  he  was  disposed  to  pass 
into  Achaia,  the  brethren  wrote,  exhort- 
ing the  disciples  to  receive  him:  who, 
when  he  was  come,  helped  them  much 
which  had  believed  through  grace : 

28  For  he  mightily  convinced  the  Jews, 
and  that  publickly,  shewing  by  the  scrip- 
tures that  Jesus  was  Christ. 


I  should  bear  with  you :  15  but  if 
they  are  questions  about  words  and 
names  and  your  own  law,  look  to 
it  yourselves;  I  am  not  minded  to 
be  a  judge  of  these  matters. 
16  And  he  drave  them  from  the 
judgement-seat.  17  And  they  all 
laid  hold  on  Sosthenes,  the  ruler 
of  the  synagogue,  and  beat  him  be- 
fore the  judgement-seat.  And  Gal- 
lio cared  for  none  of  these  things. 

18  And  Paul,  having  tarried  after 
this  yet  many  days,  took  his  leave 
of  the  brethren,  and  sailed  thence 
for  Syria,  and  with  him  Priscilla 
and  Aquila ;  having  shorn  his  head

he  left  them  there :  but  he  himself 
entered  into  the  synagogue,  and 
reasoned  with  the  Jews.  20  And 
when  they  asked  him  to  abide  a 
longer  time,  he  consented  not ;  21 
but  taking  his  leave  of  them,  and 
saying,  I  will  return  again  unto  you, 
if  God  will,  he  set  sail  from  Ephe- 
sus. 22  And  when  he  had  landed 
at  Caesarea,  he  went  up  and  saluted 
the  church,  and  went  down  to  An- 
tioch. 23  And  having  spent  some 
time  there,  he  departed,  and  went 
through  the  region  of  Galatia  and 
Phrygia  in  order,  stablishing  all  the 
disciples. 

24  Now  a  certain  Jew  named 
Apollos,  an  Alexandrian  by  race, 
a  learned  man,  came  to  Ephesus; 
and  he  was  mighty  in  the  scrip- 
tures. 25  This  man  had  been  in- 
structed in  the  way  of  the  Lord; 
and  being  fervent  in  spirit,  he 
spake  and  taught  carefully  the 
things  concerning  Jesus,  knowing 
only  the  baptism  of  John :  26  and 
he  began  to  speak  boldly  in  the 
synagogue.  But  when  Priscilla 
and  Aquila  heard  him,  they  took 
him  unto  them,  and  expounded  unto 
him  the  way  of  God  more  carefully. 
2y  And  when  he  was  minded  to  pass 
over  into  Achaia,  the  brethren 
encouraged  him,  and  wrote  to  the 
disciples  to  receive  him :  and  when 
he  was  come,  he  helped  them 
much  which  had  believed  through 
grace :  28  for  he  powerfully  con- 
futed the  Jews,  and  that  publicly,

sus was  the  Christ.

AND  it  came  to  pass,  that,  while  Apol- 
los  was  at  Corinth,  Paul  having 
passed  through  the  upper  coasts  came  to 
Ephesus :   and  finding  certain  disciples, 

2  He  said  unto  them,  Have  ye  received 
the  Holy  Ghost  since  ye  believed?  And 
they  said  unto  him,  We  have  not  so  much 
as  heard  whether  there  be  any  Holy 
Ghost. 

3  And  he  said  unto  them,  Unto  what 
then  were  ye  baptized?  And  they  said, 
Unto  John's  baptism. 

4  Then  said  Paul,  John  verily  baptized 
with  the  baptism  of  repentance,  saying 
unto  the  people,  that  they  should  believe 
on  him  which  should  come  after  him, 
that  is,  on  Christ  Jesus. 

5  When  they  heard  this,  they  were  bap- 
tized in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

6  And  when  Paul  had  laid  his  hands 
upon  them,  the  Holy  Ghost  came  on  them ; 
and  they  spake  with  tongues,  and  prophe- 
sied. 

7  And  all  the  men  were  about  twelve. 

8  And  he  went  into  the  synagogue,  and 
spake  boldly  for  the  space  of  three 
months,  disputing  and  persuading  the 
things  concerning  the  kingdom  of  God. 

9  But  when  divers  were  hardened,  and 
believed  not,  but  spake  evil  of  that  way 
before  the  multitude,  he  departed  from 
them,  and  separated  the  disciples,  dis- 
puting daily  in  the  school  of  one  Tyran- 
nus. 

10  And  this  continued  by  the  space  of 
two  years;  so  that  all  they  which  dwelt 
in  Asia  heard  the  word  of  the  Lord  Jesus, 
both  Jews  and  Greeks. 

11  And  God  wrought  special  miracles 
by  the  hands  of  Paul : 

12  So  that  from  his  body  were  brought 
unto  the  sick  handkerchiefs  or  aprons,- 
and  the  diseases  departed  from  them,  and 
the  evil  spirits  went  out  of  them. 

13  Then  certain  of  the  vagabond  Jews, 
exorcists,  took  upon  them  to  call  over 
them  which  had  evil  spirits  the  name 
of  the  Lord  Jesus,  saying.  We  adjure  you 
by  Jesus  whom  Paul  preacheth. 

14  And  there  were  seven  sons  of  one 
Sceva,  a  Jew,  and  chief  of  the  priests, 
which  did  so. 

15  And  the  evil  spirit  answered  and 
said,  Jesus  I  know,  and  Paul  I  know; 
but  who   are  ye? 

16  And  the  man  in  whom  the  evil  spirit 
was  leaped  on  them,  and  overcame  them,

ceive the  Holy  Ghost  when  ye  be- 
lieved? And  they  said  unto  him. 
Nay,  we  did  not  so  much  as  hear 
whether. the  Holy  Ghost  was  given. 
3  And  he  said.  Into  what  then  were 
ye  baptized?  And  they  said,  Into 
John's  baptism.  4  And  Paul  said,

A  ND  it  came  to  pass,  that 
1 9-^^  while  Apollos  was  at  Cor-

the  upper  country  came  to  Ephesus,

CHAPTER  19. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  while  Apollo  was 
at  Corinth,  that  Paul  having  passed 
through  the  upper  coasts,  came  to  Ephe- 
sus, and  found  certain  disciples. 

2  And  he  said  to  them :  Have  you  re- 
ceived the  Holy  Ghost  since  ye  believed? 
But  they  said  to  him :  We  have  not  so 
much  as  heard  whether  there  be  a  Holy 
Ghost. 

3  And  he  said:  In  what  then  were  you 
baptized?     Who  said:  In  John's  baptism. 

4  Then  Paul  said:  John  baptized  the 
people  with  the  baptism  of  penance,  say- 
ing :  That  they  should  believe  in  him  who 
was  to  come  after  him,  that  is  to  say,  in 
Jesus. 

5  Having  heard  these  things,  they  were 
baptized  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

6  And  when  Paul  had  imposed  his 
hands  on  them,  the  Holy  Ghost  came 
upon  them,  and  they  spoke  with  tongues 
and  prophesied. 

7  And  all  the  men  were  about  twelve. 

8  And  entering  into  the  synagogue,  he 
spoke  boldly  for  the  space  of  three 
months,  disputing  and  exhorting  con- 
cerning the  kingdom  of  God. 

9  But  when  some  were  hardened,  and 
believed  not,  speaking  evil  of  the  way  of 
the  Lord,  before  the  multitude,  departing 
from  them,  he  separated  the  disciples, 
disputing  daily  in  the  school  of  one 
Tyrannus. 

10  And  this  continued  for  the  space  of 
two  years,  so  that  all  they  who  dwelt  in 
Asia,  heard  the  word  of  the  Lord,  both 
Jews  and  Gentiles. 

11  And  God  wrought  by  the  hand  of 
Paul  more  than  common  miracles. 

12  So  that  even  there  were  brought 
from  his  body  to  the  sick,  handkerchiefs 
and  aprons,  and  the  diseases  departed 
from  them,  and  the  wicked  spirits  went 
out  of  them. 

13  Now  some  also  of  the  Jewish  exor- 
cists who  went  about,  attempted  to  in- 
voke over  them  that  had  evil  spirits,  the 
name  of  the  Lord  Jesus,  saying:  I  con- 
jure you  by  Jesus,  whom  Paul  preacheth. 

14  And  there  were  certain  men,  seven 
sons  of  Sceva,  a  Jew,  a  chief  priest,  that 
did  this. 

15  But  the  wicked  spirit,  answering, 
said  to  them :  Jesus  I  know,  and  Paul  I 
know;  but  who  are  you? 

16  And  the  man  in  whom  the  wicked 
spirit  was,  leaping  upon  them,  and  mas-

and  prevailed  against .  them,  so  that  they 
fled  out  of  that  house  naked  and  wounded. 

17  And  this  was  known  to  all  the  Jews 
and  Greeks  also  dwelling  at  Ephesus ;  and 
fear  fell  on  them  all,  and  the  name  of 
the  Lord  Jesus  was  magnified. 

18  And  many  that  believed  came,  and 
confessed,  and  shewed  their  deeds. 

19  Many  of  them  also  which  used  curi- 
ous arts  brought  their  books  together, 
and  burned  them  before  all  men:  and 
they  counted  the  price  of  them,  and  found 
it  fifty  thousand  pieces  of  silver. 

20  So  mightily  grew  the  word  of  God 
and  prevailed. 

21  After  these  things  were  ended,  Paul 
purposed  in  the  spirit,  when  he  had  passed 
through  Macedonia  and  Achaia,  to  go  to 
Jerusalem,  saying,  After  I  have  been 
there,  I  must  also  see  Rome. 

22  So  he  sent  into  Macedonia  two  of 
them  that  ministered  unto  him,  Timo- 
theus  and  Erastus ;  but  he  himself  stayed 
in  Asia  for  a  season. 

23  And  the  same  time  there  arose  no 
small  stir  about  that  way. 

24  For  a  certain  man  named  Demetrius, 
a  silversmith,  which  made  silver  shrines 
for  Diana,  brought  no  small  gain  unto 
the  craftsmen; 

25  Whom  he  called  together  with  the 
workmen  of  like  occupation,  and  said, 
Sirs,  ye  know  that  by  this  craft  we  have 
our  wealth. 

26  Moreover  ye  see  and  hear,  that  not 
alone  at  Ephesus,  but  almost  throughout 
all  Asia,  this  Paul  hath  persuaded  and 
turned  away  much  people,  saying  that 
they  be  no  gods,  which  are  made  with 
hands : 

27  So  that  not  only  this  our  craft  is 
in  danger  to  be  set  at  nought;  but  also 
that  the  temple  of  the  great  goddess 
Diana  should  be  despised,  and  her  mag- 
nificence should  be  destroyed,  whom  all 
Asia  and  the  world  worshippeth. 

28  And  when  they  heard  these  sayings, 
they  were  full  of  wrath,  and  cried  out, 
saying,  Great  is  Diana  of  the  Ephesians. 

29  And  the  whole  city  was  filled  with 
confusion :  and  having  caught  Gains  and 
Aristarchus,  men  of  Macedonia,  Paul's 
companions  in  travel,  they  rushed  with 
one  accord  into  the  theatre. 

30  And  when  Paul  would  have  entered 
in  unto  the  people,  the  disciples  suffered 
him  not. 

31  And  certain  of  the  chief  of  Asia, 
which  were  his   friends,   sent  unto  him, 


them,  and  mastered  both  of  them, 
and  prevailed  against  them,  so  that 
they  fled  out  of  that  house  naked 
and  wounded.  17  And  this  became 
known  to  all,  both  Jews  and  Greeks, 
that  dwelt  at  Ephesus ;  and  fear  fell 
upon  them  all,  and  the  name  of  the 
Lord  Jesus  was  magnified.  18  Many 
also  of  them  that  had  believed 
came,  confessing,  and  declaring 
their  deeds.  19  And  not  a  few  of 
them  that  practised  curious  arts 
brought  their  books  together,  and 
burned  them  in  the  sight  of  all: 
and  they  counted  the  price  of  them, 
and  found  it  fifty  thousand  pieces 
of  silver.  20  So  mightily  grew  the 
word  of  the  Lord  and  prevailed. 

21  Now  after  these  things  were 
ended,  Paul  purposed  in  the  spirit, 
when  he  had  passed  through  Ma- 
cedonia and  Achaia,  to  go  to  Jeru- 
salem, saying.  After  I  have  been 
there,  I  must  also  see  Rome. 
22  And  having  sent  into  Macedonia 
two  of  them  that  ministered  unto 
him,  Timothy  and  Erastus,  he  him- 
self stayed  in  Asia  for  a  while. 

23  And  about  that  time  there 
arose  no  small  stir  concerning  the 
Way.  24  For  a  certain  man  named 
Demetrius,  a  silversmith,  which 
made  silver  shrines  of  Diana, 
brought  no  little  business  unto 
the  craftsmen ;  25  whom  he  gath-

Diana  be  made  of  no  account,  and 
that  she  should  even  be  deposed

were  filled  with  wrath,  and  cried

on  them,  and  mastered  both  of 
them,  and  prevailed  against  them, 
so  that  they  fled  out  of  that  house 
naked  and  wounded.  17  And  this

himself  stayed  in  Asia  for  a  while. 

2S  And  about  that  time  there

this  they  were  filled  with  wrath, 
and  cried  out,  saying.  Great  is  Di- 
ana of  the  Ephesians.  29  And  the 
city  was  filled  with  the  confusion  : 
and  they  rushed  with  one  accord 
into     the     theatre,     having     seized 


tering  them  both,  prevailed  against  them, 
so  that  they  fled  oUt  of  that  house  naked

17  And  this  became  known  to  all  the 
Jews  and  the  Gentiles  that  dwelt  at  Ephe- 
sus; and  fear  fell  on  them  all,  and  the 
name  of  the  Lord  Jesus  was  magnified. 

18  And  many  of  them  that  believed, 
came  confessing  and  declaring  their 
deeds. 

19  And  many  of  them  who  had  followed 
curious  arts,  brought  together  their  books, 
and  burnt  them  before  all;  and  counting 
the  price  of  them,  they  found  the  money 
to  be  fifty  thousand  pieces  of  silver. 

20  So  mightily  grew  the  word  of  God, 
and  was  confirmed. 

21  And  when  these  things  were  ended, 
Paul  purposed  in  the  spirit,  when  he  had 
passed  through  Macedonia  and  Achaia, 
to  go  to  Jerusalem,  saying:  After  I  have 
been  there,  I  must  see  Rome  also. 

22  And  sending  into  Macedonia  two  of 
them  that  ministered  to  him,  Timothy

time  in  Asia. 

23  Now  at  that  time  there  arose  no 
small  disturbance  about  the  way  of  the 
Lord. 

24  For  a  certain  man  named  Demetrius, 
a  silversmith,  who  made  silver  temples 
for  Diana,  brought  no  small  gain  to  the

25  Whom  he  calling  together,  with  the

you  know  that  our  gain  is  by  this 
trade ; 

26  And  you  see  and  hear,  that  this  Paul 
by  persuasion  hath  drawn  away  a  great 
multitude,  not  only  of  Ephesus,  but  al- 
most of  all  Asia,  saying:  They  are  not 
gods  which  are  made  by  hands. 

27  So  that  not  only  this  our  craft  is  in 
danger  to  be  set  at  nought,  but  also  the 
temple  of  great  Diana  shall  be  reputed 
for  nothing;  yea,  and  her  majesty  shall 
begin  to  be  destroyed,  whom  all  Asia  and 
the  world  worshippeth. 

28  Having  heard  these  things,  they  were 
full  of  anger,  and  cried  out,  saying :  Great

30  And  when  Paul  would  have  entered

desiring  him   that   he   would   not  adven- 
ture himself- into  the  theatre. 

32  Some  therefore  cried  one  thing,  and 
some  another:  for  the  assembly  was  con- 
fused ;  and  the  more  part  knew  not  where- 
fore they  were  come  together. 

33  And  they  drew  Alexander  out  of  the; 
multitude,  the  Jews  putting  him  for- 
ward. And  Alexander  beckoned  with  the 
hand,  and  would  have  made  his  defence 
unto  the  people. 

34  But  when  they  knew  that  he  was 
a  Jew,  all  with  one  voice  about  the  space 
of  two  hours  cried  out,  Great  is  Diana 
of  the  Ephesians. 

35  And  when  the  townclerk  had  ap- 
peased the  people,  he  said,  Ye  men  of 
Ephesus,  what  man  is  there  that  knoweth 
not  how  that  the  city  of  the  Ephesians  is 
a  worshipper  of  the  great  goddess  Diana, 
and  of  the  image  which  fell  down  from 
Jupiter? 

36  Seeing  then  that  these  things  cannot 
be  spoken  against,  ye  ought  to  be  quiet, 
and  to  do  nothing  rashly. 

37  For  ye  have  brought  hither  these 
men,  which  are  neither  robbers  of 
churches,  nor  yet  blasphemers  of  your 
goddess. 

38  Wherefore  if  Demetrius,  and  the 
craftsmen  which  are  with  him,  have  a 
matter  against  any  man,  the  law  is  open, 
and  there  are  deputies :  let  them  implead 
one  another. 

39  But  if  ye  enquire  any  thing  concern- 
ing other  matters,  it  shall  be  determined 
in  a  lawful  assembly. 

40  For  we  are  in  danger  to  be  called  in 
question  for  this  day's  uproar,  there  be- 
ing no  cause  whereby  we  may  give  an  ac- 
count of  this  concourse. 

41  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  he 
dismissed  the  assembly. 


CHAPTER  20. 

AND  after  the  uproar  was  ceased, 
Paul  called  unto  him  the  disciples, 
and  embraced  them,  and  departed  for  to 
go  into  Macedonia. 

2  And  when  he  had  gone  over  those 
parts,  and  had  given  them  much  exhorta- 
tion, he  came  into  Greece, 


Aristarchus,  men  of  Macedonia, 
Paul's  companions  in  travel. 
30  And  when  Paul  was  minded  to 
enter  in  unto  the  people,  the  disci- 
ples suffered  him  not.  31  And  cer- 
tain also  of  the  chief  officers  of 
Asia,  being  his  friends,  sent  unto 
him,  and  besought  him  not  to 
adventure  himself  into  the  theatre. 
32  Some  therefore  cried  one  thing, 
and  some  another :  for  the  assembly 
was  in  confusion ;  and  the  more 
part  knew  not  wherefore  they 
were  come  together.  33  And  they 
brought  Alexander  out  of  the  multi- 
tude, the  Jews  putting  him  forward. 
And  Alexander  beckoned  with  the 
hand,  and  would  have  made  a  de- 
fence unto  the  people.  34  But  when 
they  perceived  that  he  was  a  Jew, 
all  with  one  voice  about  the  space 
of  two  hours  cried  out.  Great  is 
Diana  of  the  Ephesians.  35  And 
when  the  townclerk  had  quieted  the 
multitude,  he  saith,  Ye  men  of 
Ephesus,  what  man  is  there  who 
knoweth  not  how  that  the  city  of 
the  Ephesians  is  temple-keeper  of 
the  great  Diana,  and  of  the  image 
which  fell  down  from  Jupiter? 
36  Seeing  then  that  these  things 
cannot  be  gainsaid,  ye  ought  to  be 
quiet,  and  to  do  nothing  rash. 
3y  For  ye  have  brought  hither  these 
men,  which  are  neither  robbers  of 
temples  nor  blasphemers  of  our 
goddess.  38  If  therefore  Deme- 
trius, and  the  craftsmen  that  are 
with  him,  have  a  matter  against  any 
man,  the  courts  are  open,  and  there 
are  proconsuls :  let  them  accuse  one 
another.  39  But  if  ye  seek  any- 
thing about  other  matters,  it  shall 
be  settled  in  the  regular  assembly. 
40  For  indeed  we  are  in  danger  to 
be  accused  concerning  this  day's 
riot,  there  being  no  cause  for  it: 
and  as  touching  it  we  shall  not  be 
able  to  give  account  of  this  con- 
course. 41  And  when  he  had  thus 
spoken,  he  dismissed  the  assembly. 

A  ND  after  the  uproar  was

with  the  hand,  and  would  have 
made    a    defence    unto    the    people. 

34  But  when  they  perceived  that  he 
was  a  Jew,  all  with  one  voice  about 
the  space  of  two  hours  cried  out,

leave  of  them,  and  departed  to  go

31  And  some  also  of  the  rulers  of  Asia, 
who  were  his  friends,  sent  unto  him,  de- 
siring that  he  would  not  venture  himself 
into  the  theatre. 

32  Now  some  cried  one  thing,  some  an- 
other. For  the  assembly  was  confused, 
and  the  greater  part  knew  not  for  what 
cause  they  were  come  together. 

33  And  they  drew  forth  Alexander  out 
of  the  multitude,  the  Jews  thrusting  him 
forward.  And  Alexander  beckoning  with 
his  hand  for  silence,  would  have  given 
the  people  satisfaction,

to  be  a  Jew,  all  with  one  voice,  for  the 
space  of  about  two  hours,  cried  out :  Great

39  And  if  you  inquire  after  any  other 
matter,  it  may  be  decided  in  a  lawful 
assembly. 

40  For  we  are  even  in  danger  to  be 
called  in  question  for  this  day's  uproar, 
there  being  no  man  guilty  (of  whom  we 
may  give  account)  of  this  concourse.  And 
when  he  had  said  these  things,  he  dis-

3  And  there  abode  three  months.  And 
when  the  Jews  laid  wait  for  him,  as  he 
was  about  to  sail  into  Syria,  he  purposed 
to  return  through  Macedonia. 

4  And  there  accompanied  '  him  into 
Asia  Sopater  of  Berea ;  and  of  the  Thes- 
salonians,  Aristarchus  and  Secundus ;  and 
Gains  of  Derbe,  and  Timotheus ;  and  of 
Asia,  Tychicus  and  Trophimus. 

5  These  going  before  tarried  for  us  at 
Troas. 

6  And  we  sailed  away  from  Philippi 
after  the  days  of  unleavened  bread,  and 
came  unto  them  to  Troas  in  five  days ; 
where  we  abode  seven  days. 

7  And  upon  the  first  day  of  the  week, 
when  the  disciples  came  together  to  break 
bread,  Paul  preached  unto  them,  ready 
to  depart  on  the  morrow ;  and  continued 
his  speech  until  midnight. 

8  And  there  were  many  lights  in  the 
upper  chamber,  where  they  were  gathered 
together. 

9  And  there  sat  in  a  window  a  certain 
young  man  named  Eutychus,  being  fallen 
into  a  deep  sleep:  and  as  Paul  was  long 
preaching,  he  sunk  down  with  sleep,  and 
fell  down  from  the  third  loft,  and  was 
taken  up  dead. 

10  And  Paul  went  down,  and  fell  on 
him,  and  embracing  him  said,  Trouble  not 
yourselves;  for  his  life  is  in  him. 

11  When  he  therefore  was  come  up 
again,  and  had  broken  bread,  and  eaten, 
and  talked  a  long  while,  even  till  break 
of  day,  so  he  departed. 

12  And  they  brought  the  young  man 
alive,  and  were  not  a  little  comforted. 

13  And  we  went  before  to  ship,  and 
sailed  unto  Assos,  there  intending  to  take 
in  Paul :  for  so  had  he  appointed,  mind- 
ing himself  to  go  afoot. 

14  And  when  he 'met  with  us  at  Assos, 
we  took  him  in,  and  came  to  Mitylene. 

15  And  we  sailed  thence,  and  came  the 
next  day  over  against  Chios ;  and  the  next 
day  we  arrived  at  Samos,  and  tarried  at 
Trogyllium;  and  the  next  day  we  came 
to  Miletus. 

16  For  Paul  had  determined  to  sail  by 
Ephesus,  because  he  would  not  spend  the 
time  in  Asia :  for  he  hasted,  if  it  were 
possible  for  him,  to  be  at  Jerusalem  the 
day  of  Pentecost. 

17  And  from  Miletus  he  sent  to 
Ephesus,  and  called  the  elders  of  the 
church. 

18  And  when  they  were  come  to  him, 
he  said  unto  them.  Ye  know,   from  the 


much  exhortation,  he  came  into 
Greece.  3  And  when  he  had  spent 
three  months  there,  and  a  plot  was 
laid  against  him  by  the  Jews,  as 
he  was  about  to  set  sail  for  Syria, 
he  determined  to  return  through 
Macedonia.  '4  And  there  accom- 
panied him  as  far  as  Asia  Sopater 
of  Bercea,  the  son  of  Pyrrhus;  and 
of  the  Thessalonians,  Aristarchus 
and  Secundus ;  and  Gains  of  Derbe, 
and  Timothy;  and  of  Asia,  Tych- 
icus and  Trophimus.  5  But  these 
had  gone  before,  and  were  waiting 
for  us  at  Troas.  6  And  we  sailed 
away  from  Philippi  after  the  days 
of  unleavened  bread,  and  came  unto 
them  to  Troas  in  five  days;  where 
we  tarried  seven  days. 

7  And  upon  the  first  day  of  the 
week,  when  we  were  gathered  to- 
gether to  break  bread,  Paul  dis- 
coursed with  them,  intending  to 
depart  on  the  morrow;  and  pro- 
longed his  speech  until  midnight. 
8  And  there  were  many  lights  in 
the  upper  chamber,  where  we 
were  gathered  together.  9  And 
there  sat  in  the  window  a  certain 
young  man  named  Eutychus,  borne 
down  with  deep  sleep ;  and  as  Paul 
discoursed  yet  longer,  being  borne 
down  by  his  sleep  he  fell  down 
from  the  third  story,  and  was  taken 
up  dead.  10  And  Paul  went  down, 
and  fell  on  him,  and  embracing 
him  said,  Make  ye  no  ado;  for  his 
life  is  in  him.  11  And  when  he  was 
gone  up,  and  had  broken  the  bread, 
and  eaten,  and  had  talked  with  them 
a  long  while,  even  till  break  of  day, 
so  he  departed.  12  And  they 
brought  the  lad  alive,  and  were  not 
a  little  comforted. 

13  But  we,  going  before  to  the 
ship,  set  sail  for  Assos,  there  in- 
tending to  take  in  Paul :  for  so 
had  he  appointed,  intending  him- 
self to  go  by  land.  14  And  when

following  day  over  against  Chios ; 
and  the  next  day  we  touched  at 
Samos ;  and  the  day  after  we  came

mined to  sail  past  Ephesus,  that  he 
might  not  have  to  spend  time  in 
Asia;   for  he  was  hastening,  if  it

day  over  against  Chios;  and  the

past  Ephesus,  that  he  might  not 
have  to  spend  time  in  Asia ;  for  he 
was  hastening,   if  it   were  possible

months,  the  Jews  laid  wait  for  him,  as 
he  was  about  to  sail  into  Syria;  so  he 
took  a  resolution  to  return  through  Mace- 
donia.

the  son  of  Pyrrhus,  of  Berea;  and  of  the 
Thessalonians,  Aristarchus,  and  Secun- 
dus, and  Gains  of  Derbe,  and  Timothy; 
and  of  Asia,  Tychicus  and  Trophimus. 

5  These  going  before,  stayed  for  us  at 
Troas. 

6  But  we  sailed  from  Philippi  after  the 
days  of  the  Azymes,  and  came  to  them  to 
Troas  in  five  days,  where  we  abode  seven 
days. 

7  And  on  the  first  day  of  the  week, 
when  we  were  assembled  to  break  bread, 
Paul  discoursed  with  them,  being  to  de- 
part on  the  morrow :  and  he  continued  his 
speech  until  midnight. 

8  And  there  were  a  great  number  of 
lamps  in  the  upper  chamber  where  we 
were  assembled. 

9  And  a  certain  young  man  named  Euty- 
chus, sitting  on  the  window,  being  op- 
pressed with  a  deep  sleep,  (as  Paul  was 
long  preaching,)  by  occasion  of  his  sleep 
fell  from  the  third  loft  down,  and  was 
taken  up  dead. 

10  To  whom,  when  Paul  had  gone  down, 
he  laid  himself  upon  him,  and  embrac- 
ing him,  said:  Be  not  troubled,  for  his 
soul  is  in  him. 

11  Then  going  up,  and  breaking  bread 
and  tasting,  and  having  talked  a  long 
time  to  them,  until  daylight,  so  he  de- 
parted. 

12  And  they  brought  the  youth  alive, 
and  were  not  a  little  comforted. 

13  But  we,  going  aboard  the  ship,  sailed 
to  Assos,  being  there  to  take  in  Paul ;  for 
so  he  had  appointed,  himself  purposing 
to  travel  by  land.

first  day  that  I  came  into  Asia,  after  what 
manner  I  have  been  with  you  at  all  sea- 
sons, 

19  Serving  the  Lord  with  all  humility 
of  mind,  and  with  many  tears,  and  temp- 
tations, which  befell  me  by  the  lying  in 
wait  of  the  Jews: 

20  And  how  I  kept  back  nothing  that 
was  profitable  unto  you,  but  have  shewed 
you,  and  have  taught  you  publickly,  and 
from  house  to  house, 

21  Testifying  both  to  the  Jews,  and  also 
to  the  Greeks,  repentance  toward  God, 
and  faith  toward  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

22  And  now,  behold,  I  go  bound  in  the 
spirit  unto  Jerusalem,  not  knowing  the 
things  that  shall  befall  me  there: 

23  Save  that  the  Holy  Ghost  witnesseth 
in  every  city,  saying  that  bonds  and  af- 
flictions abide  me. 

24  But  none  of  these  things  move  me, 
neither  count  I  my  life  dear  unto  myself, 
so  that  I  might  finish  my  course  with  joy, 
and  the  ministry,  which  I  have  received 
of  the  Lord  Jesus,  to  testify  the  gospel  of 
the  grace  of  God. 

25  And  now,  behold,  I  know  that  ye  all, 
among  whom  I  have  gone  preaching  the 
kingdom  of  God,  shall  see  my  face  no 
more. 

26  Wherefore  I  take  you  to  record  this 
day,  that  I  am  pure  from  the  blood  of  all 
men. 

27  For  I  have  not  shunned  to  declare 
unto  you  all  the  counsel  of  God. 

28  Take  heed  therefore  unto  your- 
selves, and  to  all  the  flock,  over  the  which 
the  Holy  Ghost  hath  made  you  overseers, 
to  feed  the  church  of  God,  which  he 
hath  purchased  with  his  own  blood. 

29  For  I  know  this,  that  after  my  de- 
parting shall  grievous  wolves  enter  in 
among  you,  not  sparing  the  flock. 

30  Also  of  your  own  selves  shall  men 
arise,  speaking  perverse  things,  to  draw 
away  disciples  after  them. 

31  Therefore  watch,  and  remember, 
that  by  the  space  of  three  years  I  ceased 
not  to  warn  every  one  night  and  day  with 
tears.

Ephesus,  and  called  to  him  the 
elders  of  the  church.  18  And  when 
they  were  come  to  him,  he  said  unto 
them. 

Ye  yourselves  know,  from  the 
first  day  that  I  set  foot  in  Asia, 
after  what  manner  I  was  with  you 
all  the  time,  19  serving  the  Lord 
with  all  lowliness  of  mind,  and 
with  tears,  and  with  trials  which 
befell  me  by  the  plots  of  the  Jews : 

20  how  that  I  shrank  not  from  de- 
claring unto  you  anything  that  was 
profitable,  and  teaching  you  pub- 
licly,   and    from    house    to    house, 

21  testifying  both  to  Jews  and  to 
Greeks  repentance  toward  God, 
and  faith  toward  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ.  22  And  now,  behold,  I  go 
bound  in  the  spirit  unto  Jerusalem, 
not  knowing  the  things  that  shall 
befall  me  there :  23  save  that  the 
Holy  Ghost  testifieth  unto  me  in 
every  city,  saying  that  bonds  and 
afflictions  abide  me.  24  But  I  hold 
not  my  life  of  any  account,  as  dear 
unto  myself,  so  that  I  may  ac- 
complish my  course,  and  the  min- 
istry which  I  received  from  the 
Lord  Jesus,  to  testify  the  gospel 
of  the  grace  of  God.  25  And  now, 
behold,  I  know  that  ye  all,  among 
whom  I  went  about  preaching  the 
kingdom,  shall  see  my  face  no  more. 
26  Wherefore  I  testify  unto  you 
this  day,  that  I  am  pure  from  the 
blood  of  all  men.  27  For  I  shrank 
not  from  declaring  unto  you  the 
whole  counsel  of  God.  28  Take

the  -flock,  in  the  which  the  Holy 
Ghost  hath  made  you  bishops,  to 
feed  the  church  of  God,  which  he 
purchased     with     his     own     blood.

grievous  wolves  shall  enter  in

19  Serving  the  Lord  with  all  humility, 
and  with  tears,  and  temptations  which 
befell  me  by  the  conspiracies  of  the 
Jews ; 

20  How  I  have  kept  back  nothing  that 
was  profitable  to  you,  but  have  preached 
it  to  you,  and  taught  you  publicly,  and 
from  house  to  house, 

21  Testifying  both  to  Jews  and  Gentiles 
penance  towards  God,  and  faith  in  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ.

spirit,  I  go  to  Jerusalem:  not  knowing 
the  things  which  shall  befall  me  there : 

23  Save  that  the  Holy  Ghost  in  every 
city  witnesseth  to  me,  saying:  That  bands 
and  afflictions  wait  for  me  at  Jerusalem. 

24  But  I  fear  none  of  these  things,  nei- 
ther do  I  count  my  life  more  precious 
than  myself,  so  that  I  may  consummate 
my  course  and  the  ministry  of  the  word 
which  I  received  from  the  Lord  Jesus,  to

day,  that  I  am  clear  from  the  blood  of 
all  men; 

2^  For  I  have  not  spared  to  declare  unto 
you  all  the  counsel  of  God. 

28  Take  heed  to  yourselves,  and  to  the

placed  you  bishops,  to  rule  the  church  of 
God,  which  he  hath  purchased  with  his

were  gotten  from  them,  and  had 
launched,  we  came  with  a  straight  course 
unto  Coos,  and  the  day  following  unto 
Rhodes,  and  from  thence  unto  Patara :

Phenicia,  we  went  aboard,  and  set  forth.

we  left  it  on  the  left  hand,  and  sailed

the  ship  was  to  unlade  her  burden.

seven  days :  who  said  to  Paul  through  the 
Spirit,  that  he  should  not  go  up  to  Jeru-

5  And  when  we  had  accomplished  those 
days,  we  departed  and  went  our  way ;  and

wives  and  children,  till  voe  were  out  of  the

returned  home  again.

from  Tyre,  we  came  to  Ptolemais,  and 
saluted  the  brethren,  and  abode  with  them

10  And  as  we  tarried  there  many  days, 
there  came  down  from  Judaea  a  certain 
prophet,  named  Agabus. 

11  And  when  he  was  come  unto  us,  he 
took  Paul's  girdle,  and  bound  his  own 
hands  and  feet,  and  said.  Thus  saith  the 
Holy  Ghost,  So  shall  the  Jews  at  Jeru- 
salem bind  the  man  that  owneth  this 
girdle,  and  shall  deliver  him  into  the 
hands  of  the  Gentiles. 

12  And  when  we  heard  these  things, 
both  we,  and  they  of  that  place,  besought 
him  not  to  go  up  to  Jerusalem. 

13  Then  Paul  answered,  What  mean  ye 
to  weep  and  to  break  mine  heart?  for  I 
am  ready  not  to  be  bound  only,  but  also 
to  die  at  Jerusalem  for  the  name  of  the 
Lord  Jesus. 

14  And  when  he  would  not  be  per- 
suaded, we  ceased,  saying.  The  will  of  the 
Lord  be  done. 

15  And  after  those  days  we  took  up 
our  carriages,  and  went  up  to  Jerusalem. 

16  There  went  with  us  also  certain  of 
the  disciples  of  Caesarea,  and  brought 
with  them  one  Mnason  of  Cyprus,  an 
old  disciple,  with  whom  we  should 
lodge. 

17  And  when  we  were  come  to  Jerusa- 
lem, the  brethren  received  us  gladly. 

18  And  the  day  following  Paul  went 
in  with  us  unto  James;  and  all  the  elders 
were  present. 

19  And  when  he  had  saluted  them,  he 
declared  particularly  what  things  God  had 
wrought  among  the  Gentiles  by  his  min- 
istry. 

20  And  when  they  heard  it,  they  glori- 
fied the  Lord,  and  said  unto  him,  Thou 
seest,  brother,  how  many  thousands  of 
Jews  there  are  which  believe ;  and  they 
are  all  zealous  of  the  law : 

21  And  they  are  informed  of  thee,  that 
thou  teachest  all  the  Jews  which  are 
among  the  Gentiles  to  forsake  Moses, 
saying  that  they  ought  not  to  circumcise 
their  children,  neither  to  walk  after  the 
customs. 

22  What  is  it  therefore?  the  multitude 
must  needs  come  together:  for  they  will 
hear  that  thou  art  come. 

23  Do  therefore  this  that  we  say  to 
thee :  We  have  four  men  which  have  a 
vow  on  them ; 

24  Them  take,  and  purify  thyself  with 
them,  and  be  at  charges  with  them,  that 
they  may  shave  their  heads:  and  all  may 
know  that  those  things,  whereof  they 
were     informed     concerning     thee,     are

deliver  him  into  the  hands  of  the 
Gentiles.  12  And  when  we  heard 
these  things,  both  we  and  they  of 
that  place  besought  him  not  to  go 
up  to  Jerusalem.  13  Then  Paul  an- 
swered. What  do  ye,  weeping  and 
breaking  my  heart?  for  I  am  ready 
not  to  be  bound  only,  but  also  to 
die  at  Jerusalem  for  the  name  of 
the  Lord  Jesus.  14  And  when  he 
would  not  be  persuaded,  we  ceased, 
saying,  The  will  of  the  Lord  be 
done. 

15  And  after  these  days  we  took 
up  our  baggage,  and'  went  up  to 
Jerusalem.  16  And  there  went  with 
us  also  certain  of  the  disciples  from 
Caesarea,  bringing  with  them  one 
Mnason  of  Cyprus,  an  early  dis- 
ciple, with  whom  we  should  lodge. 

17  And  when  we  were  come  to 
Jerusalem,  the  brethren  received 
us  gladly.  18  And  the  day  follow- 
ing Paul  went  in  with  us  unto 
James ;  and  all  the  elders  were 
present.  19  And  when  he  had  sa- 
luted them,  he  rehearsed  one  by 
one  the  things  which  God  had 
wrought  among  the  Gentiles  by  his 
ministry.  20  And  they,  when  they 
heard  it,  glorified  God;  and  they 
said  unto  him,  Thou  seest,  brother,

and  entering  into  the  house  of 
Philip  the  evangelist,  who  was  one 
of  the  seven,  we  abode  with  him. 
9  Now  this  man  had  four  virgin 
daughters,  who  prophesied.  10  And 
as  we  tarried  there  some  days, 
there  came  down  from  Judaea  a 
certain     prophet,     named     Agabus. 

11  And  coming  to  us,  and  taking 
Paul's  girdle,  he  bound  his  own  feet 
and  hands,  and  said,  Thus  saith  the 
Holy  Spirit,  So  shall  the  Jews  at 
Jerusalem  bind  the  man  that  own- 
eth  this  girdle,  and  shall  deliver 
him  into  the  hands  of  the  Gentiles. 

12  And  when  we  heard  these  things, 
both  we  and  they  of  that  place  be- 
sought him  not  to  go  up  to  Jeru- 
salem. 13  Then  Paul  answered, 
What  do  ye,  weeping  and  breaking 
my  heart?  for  I  am  ready  not  to 
be  bound  only,  but  also  to  die  at 
Jerusalem  for  the  name  of  the 
Lord  Jesus.  14  And  when  he  would 
not  be  persuaded,  we  ceased,*  say- 
ing. The  will  of  the  Lord  be  done. 

15  And  after  these  days  we  took 
up  our  baggage  and  went  up  to 
Jerusalem.  16  And  there  went 
with  us  also  certain  of  the  disciples 
from  Caesarea,  bringing  with  them 
one  Mnason  of  Cyprus,  an  early 
disciple,  with  whom  we  should 
lodge. 

17  And  when  we  were  come  to 
Jerusalem,  the  brethren  received 
us  gladly.  18  And  the  day  follow- 
ing Paul  went  in  with  us  unto 
James;  and  all  the  elders  were 
present.  19  And  when  he  had  sa- 
luted them,  he  rehearsed  one  by 
one  the  things  which  God  had 
wrought  among  the  Gentiles 
through  his  ministry.  20  And 
they,  when  they  heard  it,  glorified 
God ;  and  they  said  unto  him.  Thou 
seest,  brother,  how  many  thousands 
there  are  among  the  Jews  of  them 
that  have  believed ;  and  they  are  all 
zealous  for  the  law:  21  and  they 
have  been  informed  concerning 
thee,  that  thou  teachest  all  the  Jews 
who  are  among  the  Gentiles  to  for- 
sake Moses,  telling  them  not  to  cir- 
cumcise their  children,  neither  to 
walk  after  the  customs.  22  What 
is  It  therefore?  they  will  certainly 
hear  that  thou  art  come.  23  Do 
therefore  this  that  we  say  to  thee: 


10  And  as  we  tarried  there  for  some 
days,  there  came  from  Judea  a  certain 
prophet,  named  Agabus. 

11  Who,  when  he  was  come  to  us,  took 
Paul's  girdle:  and  binding  his  own  feet 
and  hands,  he  said :  Thus  saith  the  Holy 
Ghost :  The  man  whose  girdle  this  is,  the 
Jews  shall  bind  in  this  manner  in  Jeru- 
salem, and  shall  deliver  him  into  the 
hands  of  the  Gentiles. 

12  Which  when  we  had  heard,  both  we 
and  they  that  were  of  that  place,  desired 
him  that  he  would  not  go  up  to  Jerusa- 
lem. 

13  Then  Paul  answered,  and  said :  What 
do  you  mean  weeping  and  afflicting  my 
heart?  For  I  am  ready  not  only  to  be 
bound,  but  to  die  also  in  Jerusalem,  for 
the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

14  And  when  we  could  not  persuade 
him,  we  ceased,  saying :  The  will  of  the 
Lord  be  done. 

15  And  after  those  days,  being  prepared, 
we  went  up  to  Jerusalem. 

16  And  there  went  also  with  us  some  of 
the  disciples  from  Csesarea,  bringing  with 
them  one  Mnason  a  Cyprian,  an  old  dis- 
ciple, with  whom  we  should  lodge. 

17  And  when  we  were  come  to  Jerusa- 
lem, the  brethren  received  us  gladly. 

18  And  the  day  following,  Paul  went  in 
with  us  unto  James;  and  all  the  ancients 
were  assembled. 

19  Whom  when  he  had  saluted,  he  re- 
lated particularly  what  things  God  had 
wrought  among  the  Gentiles  by  his  min- 
istry. 

20  But  they  hearing  it,  glorified  God, 
and  said  to  him :  Thou  seest,  brother,  how 
many  thousands  there  are  among  the  Jews 
that  have  believed:  and  they  are  all 
zealous  for  the  law. 

21  Now  they  have  heard  of  thee  that 
thou  teachest  those  Jews,  who  are  among 
the  Gentiles,  to  depart  from  Moses:  say- 
ing, that  they  ought  not  to  circumcise 
their  children,  nor  walk  according  to  the 
custom. 

22  What  is  it  therefore?  the  multitude 
must  needs  come  together:  for  they  will 
hear  that  thou  art  come. 

23  Do  therefore  this  that  we  say  to 
thee.  We  have  four  men,  who  have  a 
vow  on  them. 

24  Take  these,  and  sanctify  thyself  with 
them :  and  bestow  on  them,  that  they 
may  shave  their  heads :  and  all  will  know 
that  the  things  which  they  have  heard  of

nothing;  but  that  thou  thyself  also  walk- 
est  orderly,  and  keepest  the  law. 

25  As  touching  the  Gentiles  which  be- 
lieve, we  have  written  and  concluded  that 
they  observe  no  such  thing,  save  only  that 
they  keep  themselves  from  things  offered 
to  idols,  and  from  blood,  and  from 
strangled,  and  from  fornication, 

26  Then  Paul  took  the  men,  and  the 
next  day  purifying  himself  with  them 
entered  into  the  temple,  to  signify  the  ac- 
complishment of  the  days  of  purification, 
until  that  an  offering  should  be  offered 
for  every  one  of  them. 

27  And  when  the  seven  days  were  al- 
most ended,  the  Jews  which  were  of 
Asia,  when  they  saw  him  in  the  temple, 
stirred  up  all  the  people,  and  laid  hands 
on  him, 

28  Crying  out,  Men  of  Israel,  help: 
This  is  the  man,  that  teacheth  all  men 
every  where  against  the  people,  and  the 
law,  and  this  place:  and  further  brought 
Greeks  also  into  the  temple,  and  hath  pol- 
luted this  holy  place. 

29  (For  they  had  seen  before  with  him 
in  the  city  Trophimus  an  Ephesian,  whom 
they  supposed  that  Paul  had  brought  into 
the  temple.) 

30  And  all  the  city  was  moved,  and 
the  people  ran  together:  and  they  took 
Paul,  and  drew  him  out  of  the  temple : 
and  forthwith  the  doors  were  shut. 

31  And  as  they  went  about  to  kill  him, 
tidings  came  unto  the  chief  captain  of 
the  band,  that  all  Jerusalem  was  in  an 
uproar. 

32  Who  immediately  took  soldiers  and 
centurions,  and  ran  down  unto  them  :  and 
when  they  saw  the  chief  captain  and  the 
soldiers,  they  left  beating  of  Paul. 

S3  Then  the  chief  captain  came  near, 
and  took  him,  and  commanded  him  to 
be  bound  with  two  chains ;  and  demanded 
who  he  was,  and  what  he  had  done. 

34  And  some  cried  one  thing,  some  an- 
other, among  the  multitude :  and  when  he 
could  not  know  the  certainty  for  the 
tumult,  he  commanded  him  to  be  carried 
into  the  castle. 

35  And  when  he  came  upon  the  stairs, 
so  it  was,  that  he  was  borne  of  the  sol- 
diers for  the  violence  of  the  people. 

36  For  the  multitude  of  the  people  fol- 
lowed after,  crying,  Away  with  him. 

37  And  as  Paul  was  to  be  led  into  the 
castle,  he  said  unto  the  chief  captain.  May 
I  speak  unto  thee  ?  Who  said,  Canst  thou 
speak  Greek?

know  that  there  is  no  truth  in  the 
things  whereof  they  have  been  in- 
formed concerning  thee;  but  that 
thou  thyself  also  walkest  orderly,

ing the  Gentiles  which  have  be-

that  they  should  keep  themselves 
from  things  sacrificed  to  idols,  and 
from  blood,  and  from  what  is 
strangled,  and  from  fornication. 
26  Then  Paul  took  the  men,  and 
the  next  day  purifying  himself 
with  them  went  into  the  temple, 
declaring  the  fulfilment  of  the  days 
of  purification,  until  the  offering

27  And  when  the  seven  days 
were  almost  completed,  the  Jews

over he  brought  Greeks  also  into

should  only  refrain  themselves  from  that 
which  has  been  offered  to  idols,  and  from

from  fornication.

the  accomplishment  of  the  days  of  puri-

38  Art  not  thou  that  Egyptian,  which 
before  these  days  madest  an  uproar,  and 
leddest  out  into  the  wilderness  four  thou- 
sand men  that  were  murderers? 

39  But  Paul  said,  I  am  a  man  which  am 
a  Jew  of  Tarsus,  a  city  in  Cilicia :  a  citi- 
zen of  no  mean  city :  and,  I  beseech  thee, 
suffer  me  to  speak  unto  the  people. 

40  And  when  he  had  given  him  licence, 
Paul  stood  on  the  stairs,  and  beckoned 
with  the  hand  unto  the  people.  And 
when  there  was  made  a  great  silence,  he 
spake  unto  them  in  the  Hebrew  tongue, 
saying, 


CHAPTER  22. 

MEN,  brethren,  and   fathers,  hear  ye 
my  defence  which  I  make  now  unto 
you. 

2  (And  when  they  heard  that  he  spake 
in  the  Hebrew  tongue  to  them,  they  kept 
the  more  silence:  and  he  saith,) 

3  I  am  verily  a  man  which  am  a  Jew, 
born  in  Tarsus,  a  city  in  Cilicia,  yet 
brought  up  in  this  city  at  the  feet  of 
Gamaliel,  and  taught  according  to  the  per- 
fect manner  of  the  law  of  the  fathers, 
and  was  zealous  toward  God,  as  ye  all  are 
this  day. 

4  And  I  persecuted  this  way  unto  the 
death,  binding  and  delivering  into  prisons 
both  men  and  women. 

5  As  also  the  high  priest  doth  bear  me 
witness,  and  all  the  estate  of  the  elders : 
from  whom  also  I  received  letters  unto 
the  brethren,  and  went  to  Damascus,  to 
bring  them  which  were  there  bound  unto 
Jerusalem,  for  to  be  punished. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  I  made 
my  journey,-  and  was  come  nigh  unto  Da- 
mascus about  noon,  suddenly  there  shone 
from  heaven  a  great  light  round  about 
me.

persecutest  thou  me? 


into  the  castle.  35  And  when  he 
came  upon  the  stairs,  so  it  was,  that 
he  was  borne  of  the  soldiers  for  the 
violence  of  the  crowd ;  36  for  the 
multitude  of  the  people  followed 
after,  crying  out,  Away  with  him. 

37  And  as  Paul  was  about  to  be 
brought  into  the  castle,  he  saith 
unto  the  chief  captain.  May  I  say 
something  unto  thee?  And  he  said. 
Dost  thou  know  Greek?  38  Art 
thou  not  then  the  Egyptian,  which 
before  these  days  stirred  up  to  sedi- 
tion and  led  out  into  the  wilderness 
the  four  thousand  men  of  the  As- 
sassins? 39  But  Paul  said,  I  am  a 
Jew,  of  Tarsus  in  Cilicia,  a  citizen 
of  no  mean  city:  and  I  beseech 
thee,  give  me  leave  to  speak  unto 
the  people.  40  And  when  he  had 
given  him  leave,  Paul,  standing  on 
the  stairs,  beckoned  with  the  hand 
unto  the  people ;  and  when  there 
was  made  a  great  silence,  he  spake 
unto  them  in  the  Hebrew  language, 
saying,

2  And  when  they  heard  that  he 
spake  unto  them  in  the  Hebrew 
language,  they  were  the  more  quiet : 
and  he  saith, 

3  I  am  a  Jew,  born  in  Tarsus  of 
Cilicia,  but  brought  up  in  this  city, 
at  the  feet  of  Gamaliel,  instructed 
according  to  the  strict  manner  of

journey,  and  drew  nigh  unto  Da- 
mascus, about  noon,  suddenly  there 
shone  from  heaven  a  great  light 
round  about  me.  7  And  I  fell  unto 
the  ground,  and  heard  a  voice  say-

he  commanded  him  to  be  brought 
into  the  castle.  35  And  when  he 
came  upon  the  stairs,  so  it  was  that 
he  was  borne  of  the  soldiers  for 
the  violence  of  the  crowd;  36  for 
the  multitude  of  the  people  fol- 
lowed after,  crying  out,  Away  with 
him. 

2,7  And  as  Paul  was  about  to  be 
brought  into  the  castle,  he  saith 
unto  the  chief  captain,  May  I  say 
something  unto  thee?  And  he  said. 
Dost  thou  know  Greek?  38  Art 
thou  not  then  the  Egyptian,  who 
before  these  days  stirred  up  to  sedi- 
tion and  led  out  into  the  wilder- 
ness the  four  thousand  men  of  the 
Assassins?  39  But  Paul  said,  I 
am  a  Jew,  of  Tarsus  in  Cilicia,  a 
citizen  of  no  mean  city :  and  I  be- 
seech thee,  give  me  leave  to  speak 
unto  the  people.  40  And  when  he 
had  given  him  leave,  Paul,  stand- 
ing on  the  stairs,  beckoned  with 
the  hand  unto  the  people;  and 
when  there  was  made  a  great  si- 
lence, he  spake  unto  them  in  the 
Hebrew  language,  saying, 

T3RETHREN  and  fathers, 
22J3  hear  ye  the  defence  which 
I  now   make  unto  you. 

2  And  when  they  heard  that  he 
spake  unto  them  in  the  Hebrew 
language,  they  were  the  more 
quiet:   and  he  saith, 

3  I  am  a  Jew,  born  in  Tarsus 
of  Cilicia,  but  brought  up  in  this 
city,  at  the  feet  of  Gamaliel,  in- 
structed according  to  the  strict 
manner  of  the  law  of  our  fathers, 
being  zealous  for  God,  even  as  ye 
all  are  this  day:  4  and  I  perse- 
cuted this  Way  unto  the  death, 
binding  and  delivering  into  prisons 
both  men  and  women.  5  As  also 
the  high  priest  doth  bear  me  wit- 
ness, and  all  the  estate  of  the 
elders :  from  whom  also  I  received 
letters  unto  the  brethren,  and  jour- 
neyed to  Damascus  to  bring  them 
also  that  were  there  unto  Jerusa- 
lem in  bonds  to  be  punished.  6  And 
it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  I  made 
my  journey,  and  drew  nigh  unto 
Damascus,  about  noon,  suddenly 
there  shone  from  heaven  a  great 
light  round  about  me.  7  And  I 
fell  unto  the  ground,  and  heard  a 


May  I  speak  something  to  thee?     Who 
said:  Canst  thou  speak  Greek? 

38  Art  not  thou  that  Egyptian  who  be- 
fore these  days  didst  raise  a  tumult,  and 
didst  lead  forth  into  the  desert  four  thou- 
sand men  that  were  murderers? 

39  But  Paul  said  to  him :  1  am  a  Jew  of 
Tarsus  in  Cilicia,  a  citizen  of  no  mean 
city.  And  I  beseech  thee,  sufifer  me  to 
speak  to  the  people. 

40  And  when  he  had  given  him  leave, 
Paul  standing  on  the  stairs,  beckoned 
with  his  hand  to  the  people.  And  a  great 
silence  being  made,  he  spoke  unto  them 
in   the   Hebrew  tongue,   saying: 


CHAPTER  22. 

MEN,  brethren,   and   fathers,  hear  ye 
the  account  which  I  now  give  unto 
you. 

2  (And  when  they  heard  that  he  spoke 
to  them  in  the  Hebrew  tongue,  they  kept 
the  more  silence.) 

3  And  he  saith :  I  am  a  Jew,  born  at 
Tarsus  in  Cilicia,  but  brought  up-  in  this 
city,  at  the  feet  of  Gamaliel,  taught  ac- 
cording to  the  truth  of  the  law  of  the 
fathers,  zealous  for  the  law,  as  also  all 
you  are  this  day: 

4  Who  persecuted  this  way  unto  death, 
binding  and  delivering  into  prisons  both 
men  and  women. 

5  As  the  high  priest  doth  bear  me  wit- 
ness, and  all  the  ancients :  from  whom 
also  receiving  letters  to  the  brethren,  I 
went  to  Damascus,  that  I  might  bring 
them  bound  from  thence  to  Jerusalem  to 
be  punished. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  I  was  going, 
and  drawing  nigh  to  Damascus  at  mid- 
day, that  suddenly  from  heaven  there 
shone  round  about  me  a  great  light : 

7  And  falling  on  the  ground,  I  heard  a 
voice  saying  to  me:  Saul,  Saul,  why  per- 
secutest  thou  me? 

8  And    I    answered:    Who    art    thou,

8  And  I  answered,  Who  art  thou,  Lord? 
And  he  said  unto  me,  I  am  Jesus  of  Naz- 
areth, whom  thou  persecutest. 

9  And  they  that  were  with  me  saw  in- 
deed the  light,  and  were  afraid;  but  they 
heard  not  the  voice  of  him  that  spake  to 
me. 

10  And  I  said,  What  shall  I  do.  Lord? 
And  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Arise,  and 
go  into  Damascus ;  and  there  it  shall  be 
told  thee  of  all  things  which  are  appointed 
for  thee  to  do. 

11  And  when  I  could  not  see  for  the 
glory  of  that  light,  being  led  by  the  hand 
of  them  that  were  with  me,  I  came  into 
Damascus. 

12  And  one  Ananias,  a  devout  man  ac- 
cording to  the  law,  having  a  good  re- 
port of  all  the  Jews  which  dwelt  there, 

13  Came  unto  me,  and  stood,  and  saic^ 
unto  me.  Brother  Saul,  receive  thy  sight. 
And  the  same  hour  I  looked  up  upon  him. 

14  And  he  said.  The  God  of  our  fathers 
hath  chosen  thee,  that  thou  shouldest 
know  his  will,  and  see  that  Just  One,  and 
shouldest  hear  the  voice  of  his  mouth. 

15  For  thou  shalt  be  his  witness  unto 
all  men  of  what  thou  hast  seen  and  heard. 

16  And  now  why  tarriest  thou?  arise, 
and  be  baptized,  and  wash  away  thy  sins, 
calling  on  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when  I 
was  come  again  to  Jerusalem,  even  while 
1  prayed  in  the  temple,  I  was  in  a  trance ; 

18  And  saw  him  saying  unto  me,  Make 
haste,  and  get  thee  quickly  out  of  Jeru- 
salem :  for  they  will  not  receive  thy  testi- 
mony concerning  me. 

19  And  I  said.  Lord,  they  know  that  I 
imprisoned  and  beat  in  every  synagogue 
them  that  believed  on  thee: 

20  And  when  the  blood  of  thy  martyr 
Stephen  was  shed,  I  also  was  standing  by, 
and  consenting  unto  his  death,  and  kept 
the  raiment  of  them  that  slew  him. 

21  And  he  said  unto  me.  Depart:  for  I 
will  send  thee  far  hence  unto  the  Gentiles. 

22  And  they  gave  him  audience  unto 
this  word,  and  then  lifted  up  their  voices, 
and  said.  Away  with  such  a  fellow  from 
the  earth :  for  it  is  not  fit  that  he  should 
live. 

23  And  as  they  cried  out,  and  cast  off 
their  clothes,  and  threw  dust  into  the  air, 

24  The  chief  captain  commanded  him 
to  be  brought  into  the  castle,  and  bade 
that  he  should  be  examined  by  scourging ; 
that  he  might  know  wherefore  they  cried 
so  against  him.

Nazareth,  whom  thou  persecutest.

Then  straightway  they  departed

afraid,  after  he  knew  that  he  was  a  Ro- 
man, and  because  he  had  bound  him. 

30  On  the  morrow,  because  he  would 
have  known  the  certainty  wherefore  he 
was  accused  of  the  Jews,  he  loosed  him 
from  his  bands,  and  commanded  the  chief 
priests  and  all  their  council  to  appear, 
and  brought  Paul  down,  and  set  him  be- 
fore them. 


CHAPTER  23. 

AND  Paul,  earnestly  beholding  the 
council,  said.  Men  and  brethren,  I 
have  lived  in  all  good  conscience  before 
God  until  this  day. 

2  And  the  high  priest  Ananias  com- 
manded them  that  stood  by  him  to  smite 
him  on  the  mouth. 

3  Then  said  Paul  unto  him,  God  shall 
smite  thee,  thou  whited  wall :  for  sittest 
thou  to  judge  me  after  the  law,  and  com- 
mandest  me  to  be  smitten  contrary  to  the

5  Then  said  Paul,  I  wist  not,  brethren, 
that  he  was  the  high  priest :  for  it  is 
written,  Thou  shalt  not  speak  evil  of 
the  ruler  of  thy  people. 

6  But  when  Paul  perceived  that  the 
one  part  were  Sadducees,  and  the  other 
Pharisees,  he  cried  out  in  the  council.

be  examined  by  scourging,  that

so  shouted  against  him.  25  And 
when  they  had  tied  him  up  with 
the  thongs,  Paul  said  unto  the  cen- 
turion that  stood  by.  Is  it  lawful 
for  you  to  scourge  a  man  that  is  a 
Roman,  and  uncondemned  ?  26  And 
when  the  centurion  heard  it,  he 
went  to  the  chief  captain,  and  told 
him,  saying,  What  art  thou  about 
to  do?  for  this  man  is  a  Roman. 
27  And  the  chief  captain  came,  and 
said  unto  him,  Tell  me,  art  thou  a 
Roman?  And  he  said,  Yea.  28  And 
the  chief  captain  answered.  With 
a  great  sum  obtained  I  this  citizen- 
ship. And  Paul  said.  But  I  am  a 
Roman  born.  29  They  then  which 
were  about  to  examine  him  straight- 
way departed  from  him :  and  the 
chief  captain  also  was  afraid,  when 
he  knew  that  he  was  a  Roman,  and 
because  he  had  bound  him. 

30  But  on  the  morrow,  desiring 
to  know  the  certainty,  wherefore 
he  was  accused  of  the  Jews,  he 
loosed  him,  and  commanded  the 
chief  priests  and  all  the  council  to 
come  together,  and  brought  Paul 
down,  and  set  him  before  them. 

A  ND  Paul,  looking  sted- 
23x\.  fastly  on  the  council,  said. 
Brethren,  I  have  lived  before  God 
in  all  good  conscience  until  this 
day.  2  And  the  high  priest  Ana- 
nias commanded  them  that  stood 
by  him  to  smite  him  on  the  mouth. 
3  Then  said  Paul  unto  him,  God 
shall  smite  thee,  thou  whited  wall : 
and  sittest  thou  to  judge  me  ac-

est  me  to  be  smitten  contrary  to

brethren,  that  he  was  high  priest:

into  the  air,  24  the  chief  captain 
commanded  him  to  be  brought  into 
the  castle,  bidding  that  he  should 
be  examined  by  scourging,  that  he 
might  know  for  what  cause  they 
so  shouted  against  him.  25  And 
when  they  had  tied  him  up  with 
the  thongs,  Paul  said  unto  the  cen- 
turion that  stood  by,  Is  it  lawful 
for  you  to  scourge  a  man  that  is 
a  Roman,  and  uncondemned?  26 
And  when  the  centurion  heard  it, 
he  went  to  the  chief  captain  and 
told  him,  saying.  What  art  thou 
about  to  do?  for  this  man  is  a 
Roman.  27  And  the  chief  captain 
came  and  said  unto  him,  Tell  me, 
art  thou  a  Roman?  And  he  said, 
Yea.  28  And  the  chief  captain  an- 
swered. With  a  great  sum  obtained 
I  this  citizenship.  And  Paul  said, 
But  I  am  a  Roman  born.  29  They 
then  that  were  about  to  examine 
him  straightway  departed  from 
him:  and  the  chief  captain  also 
was  afraid  when  he  knew  that  he 
•was  a  Roman,  and  because  he  had 
bound  him. 

30  But  on  the  morrow,  desiring 
to  know  the  certainty  wherefore  he 
was  accused  of  the  Jews,  he  loosed 
him,  and  commanded  the  chief 
priests  and  all  the  council  to  come 
together,  and  brought  Paul  down 
and  set  him  before  them. 

A  ND  Paul,  looking  sted- 
23-^-^  fastly  on  the  council,  said, 
Brethren,  I  have  lived  before  God 
in  all  good  conscience  until  this 
day.  2  And  the  high  priest  Ana- 
nias commanded  them  that  stood 
by  him  to  smite  him  on  the  mouth. 
3  Then  said  Paul  unto  him,  God 
shall  smite  thee,  thou  whited  wall: 
and  sittest  thou  to  judge  me  ac- 
cording to  the  law,  and  command- 
est  me  to  be  smitten  contrary  to 
the  law?  4  And  they  that  stood  by 
said,  Revilest  thou  God's  high 
priest?  5  And  Paul  said,  I  knew 
not,  brethren,  that  he  was  high 
priest :  for  it  is  written.  Thou  shalt 
not  speak  evil  of  a  ruler  of  thy  peo- 
ple. 6  But  when  Paul  perceived 
that  the  one  part  were  Sadducees 
and  the  other  Pharisees,  he  cried 
out  in  the  council,  Brethren,  I  am 


thongs,  Paul  saith  to  the  centurion  that 
stood  by  him :  Is  it  lawful  for  you  to 
scourge  a  man  that  is  a  Roman,  and  un^ 
condemned? 

26  Which  the  centurion  hearing,  went 
to  the  tribune,  and  told  him,  saying: 
What  art  thou  about  to  do?  For  this 
man  is  a  Roman  citizen. 

27  And  the  tribune  coming,  said  to  him : 
Tell  me,  art  thou  a  Roman  ?  But  he  said : 
Yea. 

28  And  the  tribune  answered :  I  ob- 
tained the  being  free  of  this  city  with  a 
great  sum.  And  Paul  said :  But  I  was 
born  so. 

29  Immediately  therefore  they  departed 
from  him  that  were  about  to  torture  him. 
The  tribune  also  was  afraid  after  he  un- 
derstood that  he  was  a  Roman  citizen, 
and  because  he  had  bound  him, 

30  But  on  the  next  day,  meaning  to 
know  more  diligently  for  what  cause  he 
was  accused  by  the  Jews,  he  loosed  him, 
and  commanded  the  priests  to  come  to- 
gether, and  all  the  council :  and  bringing 
forth  Paul,  he  set  him  before  them. 


CHAPTER  23. 

AND  Paul  looking  upon  the  council, 
said :  Men,  brethren,  I  have  con- 
versed with  all  good  conscience  before 
God  until  this  present  day. 

2  And  the  high  priest  Ananias  com- 
manded them  that  stood  by  him  to  strike 
him  on  the  mouth. 

3  Then  Paul  said  to  him:  God  shall 
strike  thee,  thou  whited  wall.  For  sit- 
test thou  to  judge  me  according  to  the 
law,  and  contrary  to  the  law  commandest 
me  to  be  struck? 

4  And  they  that  stood  by  said:  Dost 
thou  revile  the  high  priest  of  God? 

5  And  Paul  said:  I  knew  not,  brethren, 
that  he  is  the  high  priest.  For  it  is  writ- 
ten :  Thou  shalt  not  speak  evil  of  the 
prince  of  thy  people. 

6  And  Paul  knowing  that  the  one  part 
were  Sadducees,  and  the  other  Pharisees, 
cried  out  in  the  council :  Men.  brethren, 
I  am  a  Pharisee,  the  son  of  Pharisees:

son  of  a  Pharisee :  of  the  hope  and  resur- 
rection of  the  dead  I  am  called  in  ques- 
tion. 

7  And  when  he  had  so  said,  there  arose 
a  dissension  between  the  Pharisees  and 
the  Sadducees :  and  the  multitude  was  di- 
vided. 

8  For  the  Sadducees  say  that  there  is 
no  resurrection,  neither  angel,  nor  spirit: 
but  the  Pharisees  confess  both. 

9  And  there  arose  a  great  cry :  and  the 
scribes  that  were  of  the  Pharisees'  part 
arose,  and  strove,  saying,  We  find  no  evil 
in  this  man :  but  if  a  spirit  or  an  angel 
hath  spoken  to  him,  let  us  not  fight  against 
God. 

10  And  when  there  arose  a  great  dis- 
sension, the  chief  captain,  fearing  lest 
Paul  should  have  been  pulled  in  pieces 
of  them,  commanded  the  soldiers  to  go 
down,  and  to  take  him  by  force  from 
among  them,  and  to  bring  him  into  the 
castle. 

11  And  the  night  following  the  Lord 
stood  by  him,  and  said.  Be  of  good  cheer, 
Paul :  for  as  thou  hast  testified  of  me  in 
Jerusalem,  so  must  thou  bear  witness  also 
at  Rome. 

12  And  when  it  was  day,  certain  of  the 
Jews  banded  together,  and  bound  them- 
selves under  a  curse,  saying  that  they 
would  neither  eat  nor  drink  till  they  had 
killed  Paul. 

13  And  they  were  more  than  forty 
which  had  made  this  conspiracy. 

14  And  they  came  to  the  chief  priests 
and  elders,  and  said.  We  have  bound  our- 
selves under  a  great  curse,  that  we  will 
eat  nothing  until  we  have  slain  Paul. 

15  Now  therefore  ye  with  the  council 
signify  to  the  chief  captain  that  he  bring 
him  down  unto  you  to  morrow,  as  though 
ye  would  enquire  something  more  per- 
fectly concerning  him :  and  we,  or  ever 
he  come  near,  are  ready  to  kill  him. 

16  And  when  Paul's  sister's  son  heard 
of  their  lying  in  wait,  he  went  and  en- 
tered into  the  castle,  and  told  Paul. 

17  Then  Paul  called  one  of  the  cen- 
turions unto  him,  and  said.  Bring  this 
young  man  unto  the  chief  captain :  for  he 
hath  a  certain  thing  to  tell  him. 

18  So  he  took  him,  and  brought  him 
to  the  chief  captain,  and  said,  Paul  the 
prisoner  called  me  unto  him,  and  prayed 
me  to  bring  this  young  man  unto  thee, 
who  hath  something  to  say  unto  thee. 

19  Then  the  chief  captain  took  him  by 
the  hand,  and  went  with  him  aside  pri-

ing the  hope  and  resurrection  of

12  And  when  day  was  come,  some  of

vately,  and  asked  him,  What  is  that  thou 
hast  to  tell  me? 

20  And  he  said,  The  Jews  have  agreed 
to  desire  thee  that  thou  wouldest  bring 
down  Paul  to  morrow  into  the  council,  as 
though  they  would  enquire  somewhat  of 
him  more  perfectly. 

21  But  do  not  thou  yield  unto  them : 
for  there  lie  in  wait  for  him  of  them 
more  than  forty  men,  which  have  bound 
themselves  with  an  oath,  that  they  will 
neither  eat  nor  drink  till  they  have  killed 
him:  and  now  are  they  ready,  looking 
for  a  promise  from  thee. 

22  So  the  chief  captain  then  let  the 
young  man  depart,  and  charged  him,  See 
thou  tell  no  man  that  thou  hast  shewed 
these  things  to  me. 

23  And  he  called  unto  him  two  cen- 
turions, saying,  Make  ready  two  hundred 
soldiers  to  go  to  Caesarea,  and  horsemen 
threescore  and  ten,  and  spearmen  two 
hundred,  at  the  third  hour  of  the  night; 

24  And  provide  them  beasts,  that  they 
may  set  Paul  on,  and  bring  him  safe  unto 
Felix  the  governor. 

25  And  he  wrote  a  letter  after  this  man- 
ner: 

26  Claudius  Lysias  unto  the  most  ex- 
cellent governor  Felix  sendeth  greeting. 

27  This  man  was  taken  of  the  Jews,  and 
should  have  been  killed  of  them :  then 
came  I  with  an  army,  and  rescued  him, 
having  understood  that  he  was  a 
Roman. 

28  And  when  I  would  have  known  the 
cause  wherefore  they  accused  him,  I 
brought  him  forth  into  their  council : 

29  Whom  I  perceived  to  be  accused  of 
questions  of  their  law,  but  to  have  nothing 
laid  to  his  charge  worthy  of  death  or  of 
bonds. 

30  And  when  it  was  told  me  how  that 
the  Jews  laid  wait  for  the  man,  I  sent 
straightway  to  thee,  and  gave  command- 
ment to  his  accusers  also  to  say  before 
thee  what  they  had  against  him.  Fare- 
well. 

31  Then  the  soldiers,  as  it  was  com- 
manded them,  took  Paul,  and  brought  him 
by  night  to  Antipatris. 

32  On  the  morrow  they  left  the  horse- 
men to  go  with  him,  and  returned  to  the 
castle : 

33  Who,  when  they  came  to  Caesarea, 
and  delivered  the  epistle  to  the  governor, 
presented    Paul   also   before   him. 

34  And  when  the  governor  had  read 
the  letter,  he  asked  of  what  province  he 


to  say  to  thee.  19  And  the  chief 
captain  took  him  by  the  hand,  and 
going  aside  asked  him  privately, 
What  is  that  thou  hast  to  tell  me? 

20  And  he  said,  The  Jews  have 
agreed  to  ask  thee  to  bring  down 
Paul  to-morrow  unto  the  council,  as 
though  thou  wouldest  inquire  some- 
what more  exactly  concerning  him. 

21  Do  not  thou  therefore  yield  unto 
them  :  for  there  lie  in  wait  for  him 
of  them  more  than  forty  men, 
which  have  bound  themselves  un- 
der a  curse,  neither  to  eat  nor  to 
drink  till  they  have  slain  him:  and 
now  are  they  ready,  looking  for  the 
promise  from  thee.  22  So  the  chief 
captain  let  the  young  man  go, 
charging  him,  Tell  no  man  that 
thou  hast  signified  these  things  to 
me.  23  And  he  called  unto  him 
two  of  the  centurions,  and  said. 
Make  ready  two  hundred  soldiers 
to  go  as  far  as  Csesarea,  and  horse- 
men threescore  and  ten,  and  spear- 
men two  hundred,  at  the  third  hour 
of  the  night :  24  and  he  bade  them 
provide  beasts,  that  they  might  set 
Paul  thereon,  and  bring  him  safe 
unto  Felix  the  governor.  25  And 
he  wrote  a  letter  after  this  form: 

26  Claudius  Lysias  unto  the  most 
excellent  governor  Felix,  greet- 
ing. 27  This  man  was  seized  by 
the  Jews,  and  was  about  to  be 
slain  of  them,  when  I  came  upon 
them  with  the  soldiers,  and  rescued 
him,  having  learned  that  he  was 
a  Roman.  28  And  desiring  to  know 
the  cause  wherefore  they  accused 
him,  I  brought  him  down  unto 
their  council :  29  whom  I  found 
to  be  accused  about  questions  of 
their  law,  but  to  have  nothing  laid 
to  his  charge  worthy  of  death  or  of 
bonds.  30  And  when  it  was  shewn 
to  me  that  there  would  be  a  plot 
against  the  man,  I  sent  him  to  thee 
forthwith,  charging  his  accusers 
also  to  speak  against  him  before 
thee. 

31  So  the  soldiers,  as  it  was 
commanded  them,  took  Paul,  and 
brought  him  by  night  to  Antipatris. 
32  But  on  the  morrow  they  left  the 
horsemen  to  go  with  him,  and  re- 
turned to  the  castle:  33  and  they, 
when  they  came  to  Caesarea,  and 
delivered  the  letter  to  the  governor,

turions, and  said,  Make  ready  two 
hundred  soldiers  to  go  as  far  as 
Csesarea,  and  horsemen  threescore 
and  ten,  and  spearmen  two  hun- 
dred, at  the  third  hour  of  the  night : 
24  and  he  bade  them  provide 
beasts,  that  they  might  set  Paul 
thereon,  and  bring  him  safe  unto 
Felix  the  governor.  25  And  he 
wrote  a  letter  after  this  form : 

26  Claudius  Lysias  unto  the 
most  excellent  governor  Felix, 
greeting.  27  This  man  was  seized 
by  the  Jews,  and  was  about  to  be 
slain  of  them,  when  I  came  upon 
them  with  the  soldiers  and  rescued 
him,  having  learned  that  he  was  a 
Roman.  28  And  desiring  to  know 
the  cause  wherefore  they  accused 
him,  I  brought  him  down  unto  their 
council :  29  whom  I  found  to  be 
accused  about  questions  of  their 
law,  but  to  have  nothing  laid  to 
his  charge  worthy  of  death  or 
of  bonds.  30  And  when  it  was 
shown  to  me  that  there  would  be 
a  plot  against  the  man,  I  sent  him 
to  thee  forthwith,  charging  his  ac- 
cusers also  to  speak  against  him 
before  thee. 

31  So  the  soldiers,  as  it  was  com- 
manded them,  took  Paul  and 
brought  him  by  night  to  Antipa- 
tris.  32  But  on  the  morrow  they 
left  the  horsemen  to  go  with  him, 
and  returned  to  the  castle :  33  and 
they,   when   they  carne   to   Csesarea 


to  desire  thee,  that  thou  wouldst  bring 
forth  Paul  to  morrow  into  the  council, 
as  if  they  meant  to  inquire  some  thing 
more   certain   touching  him. 

21  But  do  not  thou  give  credit  to  them; 
for  there  lie  in  wait  for  him  more  than 
forty  men  of  them,  who  have  bound 
themselves  by  oath  neither  to  eat,  nor 
to  drink,  till  they  have  killed  him:  and 
they  are  now  ready,  looking  for  a  promise 
from  thee. 

22  The  tribune  therefore  dismissed  the 
young  man,  charging  him  that  he  should 
tell  no  man,  that  he  had  made  known 
these  things  unto  him. 

2;^  Then  having  called  two  centurions, 
he  said  to  them:  Make  ready  two  hun- 
dred soldiers  to  go  as  far  as  Caesarea, 
and  seventy  horsemen,  and  two  hundred 
spearmen  for  the  third  hour  of  the  night : 

24  And  provide  beasts,  that  they  may 
set  Paul  on,  and  bring  him  safe  to  Felix 
the  governor. 

25  (For  he  feared  lest  perhaps  the  Jews 
might  take  him  away  by  force  and  kill 
him,  and  he  should  afterwards  be  slan- 
dered, as  if  he  was  to  take  money.)  And 
he  wrote  a  letter  after  this  manner : 

26  Claudius  Lysias  to  the  most  excel- 
lent governor,  Felix,  greeting. 

2y  This  man  being  taken  by  the  Jews, 
and  ready  to  be  killed  by  them,  I  rescued 
coming  in  with  an  army,  understanding 
that  he  is  a  Roman : 

28  And  meaning  to  know  the  cause, 
which  they  objected  unto  him,  I  brought 
him  forth  into  their  council. 

29  Whom  I  found  to  be  accused  con- 
cerning questions  of  their  law;  but  hav- 
ing nothing  laid  to  his  charge  worthy  of 
death  or  of  bands. 

30  And  when  I  was  told  of  ambushes 
that  they  had  prepared  for  him,  I  sent 
him  to  thee,  signifying  also  to  his  accus- 
ers to  plead  before  thee.     Farewell. 

31  Then  the  soldiers,  according  as  it 
was  commanded  them,  taking  Paul, 
brought  him  by  night  to  Antipatris. 

32  And  the  next  day,  leaving  the  horse- 
men to  go  with  him,  they  returned  to  the 
castle. 

ZZ  Who,  when  they  were  come  to  Caesa- 
rea, and  had  delivered  the  letter  to  the 
governor,  did  also  present  Paul  before 
him. 

34  And  when  he  had  read  it,  and  had 
asked  of  what  province  he  was,  and  un- 
derstood that  he  was  of  Cilicia ; 

35  I  will  hear  thee,  said  he,  when  thy

was.     And  when  he  understood  that  he 
was  of  Cilicia ; 

35  I  will  hear  thee,  said  he,  when  thine 
accusers  are  also  come.  And  he  com- 
manded him  to  be  kept  in  Herod's  judg- 
ment hall. 


CHAPTER  24. 

AND  after  five  days  Ananias  the  high 
priest  descended  with  the  elders, 
and  with  a  certain  orator  named  Ter- 
tullus,  who  informed  the  governor  against 
Paul. 

2  And  when  he  was  called  forth,  Ter- 
tullus  began  to  accuse  him,  saying.  Seeing 
that  by  thee  we  enjoy  great  quietness,  and 
that  very  worthy  deeds  are  done  unto 
this  nation  by  thy  providence, 

3  We  accept  it  always,  and  in  all  places, 
most  noble  Felix,  with  all  thankfulness. 

4  Notwithstanding,  that  I  be  not  further 
tedious  unto  thee,  1  pray  thee  that  thou 
wouldest  hear  us  of  thy  clemency  a  few 
words. 

5  For  we  have  found  this  man  a  pes- 
tilent fellow,  and  a  mover  of  sedition 
among  all  the  Jews  throughout  the  world, 
and  a  ringleader  of  the  sect  of  the 
Nazarenes : 

6  Who  also  hath  gone  about  to  profane 
the  temple:  whom  we  took,  and  would 
have  judged  according  to  our  law. 

7  But  the  chief  captain  Lysias  came 
upon  us,  and  with  great  violence  took 
him  away  out  of  our  hands, 

8  Commanding  his  accusers  to  come 
unto  thee :  by  examining  of  whom  thy- 
self mayest  take  knowledge  of  all  these 
things,  whereof  we  accuse  him. 

9  And  the  Jews  also  assented,  saying 
that  these  things  were  so. 

10  Then  Paul,  after  that  the  governor 
had  beckoned  unto  him  to  speak,  an- 
swered. Forasmuch  as  I  know  that  thou 
hast  been  of  many  years  a  judge  unto 
this  nation,  I  do  the  more  cheerfully  an- 
swer for  myself: 

11  Because  that  thou  mayest  under- 
stand, that  there  are  yet  but  twelve  days 
since  I  went  up  to  Jerusalem  for  to  wor- 
ship. 

12  And  they  neither  found  me  in  the 
temple  disputing  with  any  man,  neither 
raising  up  the  people,  neither  in  the  syna- 
gogues, nor  in  the  city: 


presented  Paul  also  before  him. 
34  And  when  he  had  read  it,  he 
asked  of  what  province  he  was ; 
and  when  he  understood  that  he 
was  of  Cilicia,  35  I  will  hear  thy 
cause,  said  he,  when  thine  ac- 
cusers also  are  come :  and  he  com- 
manded him  to  be  kept  in  Herod's 
palace. 


^  A  ND  after  five  days  the  high 
24xjL  priest  Ananias  came  down 
with  certain  elders,  and  with  an 
orator,  one  Tertullus ;  and  they  in- 
formed the  governor  against  Paul. 
2  And  when  he  was  called,  Tertul- 
lus began  to  accuse  him,  saying, 

Seeing  that  by  thee  we  enjoy 
much  peace,  and  that  by  thy  provi- 
dence evils  are  corrected  for  this 
nation,  3  we  accept  it  in  all  ways 
and  in  all  places,  most  excellent 
Felix,  with  all  thankfulness.  4  But, 
that  I  be  not  further  tedious  unto 
thee,  I  intreat  thee  to  hear  us  of 
thy  clemency  a  few  words.  5  For 
we  have  found  this  man  a  pesti- 
lent fellow,  and  a  mover  of  in- 
surrections among  all  the  Jews 
throughout  the  world,  and  a  ring- 
leader of  the  sect  of  the  Naza- 
renes :  6  who  moreover  assayed  to 
profane  the  temple :  on  whom  also 
we  laid  hold :  8  from  whom  thou 
wilt  be  able,  by  examining  him  thy- 
self, to  take  knowledge  of  all  these 
things,  whereof  we  accuse  him. 
9  And  the  Jews  also  joined  in  the 
charge,  affirming  that  these  things 
were  so. 

10  And  when  the  governor  had 
beckoned  unto  him  to  speak,  Paul 
answered. 

Forasmuch  as  I  know  that  thou 
hast  been  of  many  years  a  judge 
unto  this  nation,  I  do  cheerfully 
make  my  defence:  11  seeing  that 
thou  canst  take  knowledge,  that 
it  is  not  more  than  twelve  days 
since  I  went  up  to  worship  at 
Jerusalem:  12  and  neither  in  the 
temple  did  they  find  me  disputing 
with  any  man  or  stirring  up  a 
crowd,  nor  in  the  synagogues,  nor 
in  the  city.  13  Neither  can  they 
prove  to  thee  the  things  whereof 
they  now  accuse  me.  14  But  this  I 
confess   unto   thee,    that   after   the

and  delivered  the  letter  to  the 
governor,  presented  Paul  also  be- 
fore him.  34  And  when  he  had 
read  it,  he  asked  of  what  province 
he  was;  and  when  he  understood 
that  he  was  of  Cilicia,  35  I  will 
hear  thee  fully,  said  he,  when  thine 
accusers  also  are  come :  and  he 
commanded  him  to  be  kept  in 
Herod's  palace. 

A  ND  after  five  days  the  high 
24-/^  priest  Ananias  came  down 
with  certain  elders,  and  zvith  an 
orator,  one  Tertullus;  and  they  in- 
formed the  governor  against  Paul. 
2  And  when  he  was  called,  Ter- 
tullus began  to  accuse  him,  saying, 

Seeing  that  by  thee  we  enjoy

that  I  be  not  further  tedious  unto

thy  clemency  a  few  words.  5  For 
we  have  found  this  man  a  pestilent 
fellow,  and  a  mover  of  insurrec- 
tions among  all  the  Jews  through- 
out the  world,  and  a  ringleader  of 
the  sect  of  the  Nazarenes :  6  who 
moreover  assayed  to  profane  the

8  from  whom  thou  wilt  be  able,

whereof  we  accuse  him.  9  And  the 
Jews  also  joined  in  the  charge,  af- 
firming that  these  things   were   so. 

10  And  when  the  governor  had 
beckoned  unto  him  to  speak,  Paul 
answered. 

Forasmuch  as  I  know  that  thou 
hast  been  of  many  years  a  judge 
untQ  this  nation,  I  cheerfully  make 
my  defence:  11  seeing  that  thou 
canst  take  knowledge  that  it  is  not

13  Neither  can  they  prove  to  thee 
the  things  whereof  they  now  accuse 
me.  14  But  this  I  confess  unto 
thee,  that  after  the  Way  which  they 
call  a  sect,  so  serve  I  the  God  of 


accusers  come.     And  he  commanded  him 
to  be  kept  in  Herod's  judgment  hall. 


CHAPTER  24. 

AND  after  five  days  the  high  priest 
Ananias  came  down,  with  some  of 
the  ancients,  and  one  Tertullus  an  orator, 
who  went  to  the  governor  against  Paul. 

2  And  Paul  being  called  for,  Tertullus 
began  to  accuse  him,  saying:  Whereas 
through  thee  we  live  in  much  peace,  and 
many  things  are  rectified  by  thy  provi- 
dence, 

3  We  accept  it  always  and  in  all  places, 
most  excellent  Felix,  with  all  thanksgiv- 
ing. 

4  But  that  I  be  no  further  tedious  to 
thee,  I  desire  thee  of  thy  clemency  to 
hear  us  in  few  words. 

5  We  have  found  this  to  be  a  pestilent 
man,  and  raising  seditions  among  all  the 
Jews  throughout  the  world,  and  author 
of  the  sedition  of  the  sect  of  the  Naza- 
renes. 

6  Who  also  hath  gone  about  to  profane 
the  temple :  whom,  we  having  appre- 
hended, would  also  have  judged  accord- 
ing to  our  law. 

7  But  Lysias  the  tribune  coming  upon 
us,  with  great  violence  took  him  away 
out  of  our  hands; 

8  Commanding  his  accusers  to  come  to 
thee :  of  whom  thou  may  est  thyself,  by 
examination,  have  knowledge  of  all  these 
things,  whereof  we  accuse  him. 

9  And  the  Jews  also  added,  and  said 
that  these  things  were  so. 

10  Then  Paul  answered,  (the  governor 
making  a  sign  to  him  to  speak:)  Know- 
ing that  for  many  years  thou  hast  been 
judge  over  this  nation,  I  will  with  good 
courage  answer  for  myself. 

11  For  thou  mayest  understand,  that 
there  are  yet  but  twelve  days,  since  I 
went  up  to  adore  in  Jerusalem : 

12  And  neither  in  the  temple  did  they 
find  me  disputing  with  any  man,  or  caus- 
ing any  concourse  of  the  people,  neither 
in  the  synagogues,  nor  in  the  city: 

13  Neither  can  they  prove  unto  thee 
the  things  whereof  they  now  accuse  me. 

14  But  this  I  confess  to  thee,  that  ac- 


132      AUTHORIZED

REVISED 


13  Neither  can  they  prove  the  things 
whereof  they  now  accuse  me. 

14  But  this  I  confess  unto  thee,  that 
after  the  way  which  they  call  heresy,  so 
worship  I  the  God  of  my  fathers,  be- 
lieving all  things  which  are  written  in 
the  law  and  in  the  prophets : 

15  And  have  hope  toward  God,  which 
they  themselves  also  allow,  that  there 
shall  be  a  resurrection  of  the  dead,  both 
of  the  just  and  unjust. 

16  And  herein  do  I  exercise  myself,  to 
have  always  a  conscience  void  of  offence 
toward  God,  and  toward  men. 

17  Now  after  many  years  I  came  to 
bring  alms  to  my  nation,  and  offerings. 

18  Whereupon  certain  Jews  from  Asia 
found  me  purified  in  the  temple,  neither 
with  multitude,  nor  with  tumult. 

19  Who  ought  to  have  been  here  before 
thee,  and  object,  if  they  had  ought  against 
me. 

20  Or  else  let  these  same  here  say,  if 
they  have  found  any  evil  doing  in  me, 
while  I  stood  before  the  council, 

21  Except  it  be  for  this  one  voice,  that 
I  cried  standing  among  them,  Touching 
the  resurrection  of  the  dead  I  am  called 
in  question  by  you  this  day. 

22  And  when  Felix  heard  these  things, 
having  more  perfect  knowledge  of  that 
way,  he  deferred  them,  and  said,  When 
Lysias  the  chief  captain  shall  come  down, 
I  will  know  the  uttermost  of  your  matter. 

23  And  he  commanded  a  centurion  to 
keep  Paul,  and  to  let  him  have  liberty, 
and  that  he  should  forbid  none  of  his 
acquaintance  to  minister  or  come  unto 
him. 

24  And  after  certain  days,  when  Felix 
came  with  his  wife  Drusilla,  which  was  a 
Jewess,  he  sent  for  Paul,  and  heard  him 
concerning  the  faith  in  Christ. 

25  And  as  he  reasoned  of  righteous- 
ness, temperance,  and  judgment  to  come, 
Felix  trembled,  and  answered.  Go  thy  way 
for  this  time;  when  I  have  a  convenient 
season,  I  will  call  for  thee. 

26  He  hoped  also  that  money  should 
have  been  given  him  of  Paul,  that  he 
might  loose  him :  wherefore  he  sent  for 
him  the  oftener,  and  communed  with 
him. 

2y  But  after  two  years  Porcius  Festus 
came  into  Felix'  room :  and  Felix,  will- 
ing to  shew  the  Jews  a  pleasure,  left 
Paul  bound. 


Way  which  they  call  a  sect,  so 
serve  I  the  God  of  our  fathers,  be- 
lieving all  things  which  are  ac- 
cording to  the  law,  and  which  are 
written  in  the  prophets:  15  having 
hope  toward  God,  which  these  also 
themselves  look  for,  that  there 
shall  be  a  resurrection  both  of 
the  just  and  unjust.  16  Herein  do 
I  also  exercise  myself  to  have  a 
conscience  void  of  offence  toward 
God  and  men  alway.  17  Now  af- 
ter many  years  I  came  to  bring 
alms  to  my  nation,  and  offerings: 
18  amidst  which  they  found  me 
purified  in  the  temple,  with  no 
crowd,  nor  yet  with  tumult :  but 
there  were  certain  Jews  from  Asia 
— 19  who  ought  to  have  been  here 
before  thee,  and  to  make  accusation, 
if  they  had  aught  against  me. 
20  Or  else  let  these  men  themselves 
say  what  wrong-doing  they  found, 
when  I  stood  before  the  council,  21 
except  it  be  for  this  one  voice, 
that  I  cried  standing  among  them, 
Touching  the  resurrection  of  the 
dead  I  am  called  in  question  before 
you  this  day. 

22  But  Felix,  having  more  exact 
knowledge  concerning  the  Way, 
deferred  them,  saying,  When  Lys- 
ias the  chief  captain  shall  come 
down,  I  will  determine  your  mat- 
ter. 23  And  he  gave  order  to  the 
centurion  that  he  should  be  kept 
in  charge,  and  should  have  indul- 
gence ;  and  not  to  forbid  any  of 
his  friends  to  minister  unto  him. 

24  But  after  certain  days,  Felix 
came  with  Drusilla,  his  wife,  which 
was  a  Jewess,  and  sent  for  Paul, 
and  heard  him  concerning  the  faith 
in  Christ  Jesus.  25  And  as  he  rea- 
soned of  righteousness,  and  tem- 
perance, and  the  judgement  to 
come,  Felix  was  terrified,  and  an- 
swered, Go  thy  way  for  this  time; 
and  when  I  have  a  convenient  sea- 
son, I  will  call  thee  unto  me. 
26  He  hoped  withal  that  money 
would  be  given  him  of  Paul :  where- 
fore also  he  sent  for  him  the 
oftener,  and  communed  with  him. 
2y  But  when  two  years  were  ful- 
filled, Felix  was  succeeded  by  Por- 
cius Festus ;  and  desiring  to  gain 
favour  with  the  Jews,  Felix  left 
Paul  in  bonds.

cording  to  the  way,  which  they  call  a 
heresy,  so  do  I  serve  the  Father  and  my 
God,  believing  all  things  which  are  writ- 
ten in  the  law  and  the  prophets : 

15  Having  hope  in  God,  which  these 
also  themselves  look  for,  that  there  shall 
be  a  resurrection  of  the  just  and  un- 
just. 

16  And  herein  do  I  endeavour  to  have 
always  a  conscience  without  offence 
towards  God,  and  towards  men. 

17  Now  after  many  years,  I  came  to 
bring  alms  to  my  nation,  and  offerings, 
and  vows. 

18  In  which  I  was  found  purified  in 
the  temple :  neither  with  multitude,  nor 
with  tumult. 

19  But  certain  Jews  of  Asia,  who  ought 
to  be  present  before  thee,  and  to  accuse, 
if  they  had  any  thing  against  me: 

20  Or  let  these  men  themselves  say,  if 
they  found  in  me  any  iniquity,  when 
standing  before  the  council, 

21  Except  it  be  for  this  one  voice  only 
that  I  cried,  standing  among  them,  Con- 
cerning the  resurrection  of  the  dead  am 
I  judged  this  day  by  you. 

22  And  Felix  put  them  off,  having  most 
certain  knowledge  of  this  way,  saying: 
When  Lysias  the  tribune  shall  come  down, 
I  will  hear  you. 

23  And  he  commanded  a  centurion  to 
keep  him,  and  that  he  should  be  easy, 
and  that  he  should  not  prohibit  any  of 
his  friends  to  minister  unto  him. 

24  And  after  some  days,  Felix,  coming 
with  Drusilla  his  wife,  who  was  a  Jew, 
sent  for  Paul,  and  heard  of  him  the  faith, 
that  is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

25  And  as  he  treated  of  justice,  and 
chastity,  and  of  the  judgment  to  come, 
Felix  being  terrified,  answered :  For  this 
time,  go  thy  way :  but  when  I  have  a 
convenient  time,  I  will  send  for  thee. 

26  Hoping  also  withal,  that  money 
should  be  given  him  by  Paul;  for  which 
cause  also  oftentimes  sending  for  him, 
he  spoke  with  him. 

27  But  when  two  years  were  ended, 
Felix  had  for  successor  Fortius  Festus. 
And  Felix  being  willing  to  shew  the  Jews 
a  pleasure,  left  Paul  bound.

CHAPTER  25. 

NOW    when    Festus    was    come    into 
the    province,    after    three    days    he 
ascended  from  Csesarea  to  Jerusalem. 

2  Then  the  high  priest  and  the  chief 
of  the  Jews  informed  him  against  Paul, 
and  besought  him, 

3  And  desired  favour  against  him,  that 
he  would  send  for  him  to  Jerusalem,  lay- 
ing wait  in  the  way  to  kill  him. 

4  But  Festus  answered,  that  Paul  should 
be  kept  at  Caesarea,  and  that  he  himself 
would  depart  shortly  thither. 

5  Let  them  therefore,  said  he,  which 
among  you  are  able,  go  down  with  me, 
and  accuse  this  man,  if  there  be  any  wick- 
edness in  him. 

6  And  when  he  had  tarried  among  them 
more  than  ten  days,  he  went  down  unto 
Caesarea;  and  the  next  day  sitting  on  the 
judgment  seat  commanded  Paul  to  be 
brought. 

7  And  when  he  was  come,  the  Jews 
which  came  down  from  Jerusalem  stood 
round  about,  and  laid  many  and  grievous 
complaints  against  Paul,  which  they  could 
not  prove. 

8  While  he  answered  for  himself, 
Neither  against  the  law  of  the  Jews, 
'neither  against  the  temple,  nor  yet  against 
Caesar,  have  I  offended  any  thing  at 
all. 

9  But  Festus,  willing  to  do  the  Jews 
a  pleasure,  answered  Paul,  and  said,  Wilt 
thou  go  up  to  Jerusalem,  and  there  be 
judged  of  these  things  before  me? 

10  Then  said  Paul,  I  stand  at  Caesar's 
judgment  seat,  where  I  ought  to  be 
judged:  to  the  Jews  have  I  done  no 
wrong,  as  thou  very  well  knowest. 

11  For  if  I  be  an  offender,  or  have 
committed  any  thing  worthy  of  death,  I 
refuse  not  to  die:  but  if  there  be  none 
of  these  things  whereof  these  accuse  me, 
no  man  may  deliver  me  unto  them.  I 
appeal  unto  Caesar. 

12  Then  Festus,  when  he  had  conferred 
with  the  council,  answered,  Hast  thou 
appealed  unto  Caesar?  unto  Caesar  shalt 
thou  go. 

13  And  after  certain  days  king  Agrippa 
and  Bernice  came  unto  Caesarea  to  salute 
Festus. 

14  And  when  they  had  been  there  many 
days,  Festus  declared  Paul's  cause  unto 
the  king,  saying.  There  is  a  certain  man 
left  in  bonds  by  Felix: 

15  About  whom,  when  I  was  at  Jeru- 


^gX^ESTUS  therefore,  having 
^U-T  come  into  the  province, 
after  three  days  went  up  to 
Jerusalem  from  Caesarea.  2  And 
the  chief  priests  and  the  prin- 
cipal men  of  the  Jews  in- 
formed him  against  Paul;  3  and 
they  besought  him,  asking  favour 
against  him,  that  he  would  send  for 
him  to  Jerusalem;  laying  wait  to 
kill  him  on  the  way.  4  Howbeit 
Festus  answered,  that  Paul  was  kept 
in  charge  at  Caesarea,  and  that  he 
himself  was  about  to  depart  thither 
shortly.  5  Let  them  therefore, 
saith  he,  which  are  of  power  among 
you,  go  down  with  me,  and  if  there 
is  anything  amiss  in  the  man,  let 
them  accuse  him. 

6  And  when  he  had  tarried  among 
them  not  more  than  eight  or  ten 
days,  he  went  down  unto  Caesarea; 
and  on  the  morrow  he  sat  on  the 
judgement-seat,  and  commanded 
Paul  to  be  brought.  7  And  when 
he  was  come,  the  Jews  which  had 
come  down  from  Jerusalem  stood 
round  about  him,  bringing  against 
him  many  and  grievous  charges, 
which  they  could  not  prove;  8 
while  Paul  said  in  his  defence. 
Neither  against  the  law  of  the 
Jews,  nor  against  the  temple,  nor 
against  Caesar,  have  I  sinned  at 
all.  9  But  Festus,  desiring  to  gain 
favour  with  the  Jews,  answered 
Paul,  and  said.  Wilt  thou  go  up  to 
Jerusalem,  and  there  be  judged  of 
these  things  before  me?  10  But 
Paul  said,  I  am  standing  before 
Caesar's  judgement-seat,  where  I 
ought  to  be  judged:  to  the  Jews 
have  I  done  no  wrong,  as  thou  also 
very  well  knowest.  11  If  then  I  am 
a  wrong-doer,  and  have  committed 
anything  worthy  of  death,  I  refuse 
not  to  die :  but  if  none  of  those 
things  is  true,  whereof  these  accuse 
me,  no  man  can  give  me  up  unto 
them.  I  appeal  unto  Caesar. 
12  Then  Festus,  when  he  had  con- 
ferred with  the  council,  answered. 
Thou  hast  appealed  unto  Caesar : 
unto  Caesar  shalt  thou  go. 

13  Now  when  certain  days  were 
passed,  Agrippa  the  king  and  Ber- 
nice arrived  at  Caesarea,  and  sa- 
luted Festus.  14  And  as  they  tar-

chief  priests  and  the  principal  men

asking  a"  favor  against  him,  that 
he  would  send  for  him  to  Jerusa-

about  .  him,  who  were  come  down 
from  Jerusalem,  objecting  many  and 
grievous  causes,  which  they  could  not 
prove ;

Neither  against  the  law  of  the  Jews,  nor

salem,  the  chief  priests  and  the  elders 
of  the  Jews  informed  me,  desiring  to 
have  judgment  against  him. 

16  To  whom  I  answered,  It  is  not  the 
manner  of  the  Romans  to  deliver  any 
man  to  die,  before  that  he  which  is  ac- 
cused have  the  accusers  face  to  face, 
and  have  licence  to  answer  for  him- 
self concerning  the  crime  laid  against 
him, 

17  Therefore,  when  they  were  come 
hither,  without  any  delay  on  the  mor- 
row 1  sat  on  the  judgment  seat,  and 
commanded  the  man  to  be  brought 
forth. 

18  Against  whom  when  the  accusers 
stood  up,  they  brought  none  accusation 
of  such  things  as  I  supposed : 

19  But  had  certain  questions  against 
him  of  their  own  superstition,  and  of 
one  Jesus,  which  was  dead,  whom  Paul 
affirmed  to  be  alive. 

20  And  because  I  doubted  of  such  man- 
ner of  questions,  I  asked  him  whether 
he  would  go  to  Jerusalem,  and  there  be 
judged  of  these  matters. 

21  But  when  Paul  had  appealed  to  be 
reserved  unto  the  hearing  of  Augustus,  I 
commanded  him  to  be  kept  till  I  might 
send  him  to  Caesar. 

22  Then  Agrippa  said  unto  Festus,  I 
would  also  hear  the  man  myself.  To 
morrow,  said  he,  thou  shalt  hear 
him.

was  come,  and  Bernice,  with  great  pomp, 
and  was  entered  into  the  place  of  hear- 
ing, with  the  chief  captains,  and  prin- 
cipal men  of  the  city,  at  Festus'  com- 
mandment Paul  was  brought  forth. 

24  And  Festus  said,  King  Agrippa,  and 
all  men  which  are  here  present  with  us, 
ye  see  this  man,  about  whom  all  the  mul- 
titude of  the  Jews  have  dealt  with  me, 
both  at  Jerusalem,  and  also  here, 
crying  that  he  ought  not  to  live  any 
longer. 

25  But  when  I  found  that  he  had  com- 
mitted nothing  worthy  of  death,  and  that 
he  himself  hath  appealed  to  Augustus,  I 
have  determined  to  send  him. 

26  Of  whom  I  have  no  certain  thing 
to  write  unto  my  lord.  Wherefore  I  have 
brought  him  forth  before  you,  and  spe- 
cially before  thee,  O  king  Agrippa,  that, 
after  examination  had,  I  might  have  some- 
what to  write.

Paul's  case  before  the  king,  saying, 
There  is  a  certain  man  left  a  pris- 
soner  by  Felix:  15  about  whom, 
when  I  was  at  Jerusalem,  the  chief 
priests  and  the  elders  of  the  Jews 
informed  me,  asking  for  sentence 
against  him.  16  To  whom  I  an-

ligion, and  of  one  Jesus,  who  was 
dead,  whom  Paul  affirmed  to  be

how  to  inquire  concerning  these 
things,  asked  whether  he  would  go 
to  Jerusalem,  and  there  be  judged

had  appealed  to  be  kept  for  the

Paul's  case  before  the  king,  saying,

cerning whom,  when  the  accusers

19  but  had  certain  questions  against 
him  of  their  own  religion,  and  of 
one  Jesus,  who  was  dead,  whom 
Paul  affirmed  to  be  alive.  20  And 
I,  being  perplexed  how  to  inquire 
concerning  these  things,  asked 
whether  he  would  go  to  Jerusalem 
and  there  be  judged  of  these  mat-

Felix. 

15  About  whom,  when  I  was  at  Jerusa- 
lem, the  chief  priests,  and  the  ancients  of 
the  Jews,  came  unto  me,  desiring  con- 
demnation against  him. 

16  To  whom  I  answered:  It  is  not  the 
custom  of  the  Romans  to  condemn  any 
man,  before  that  he  who  is  accused  have 
his  accusers  present,  and  have  liberty  to 
make  his  answer,  to  clear  himself  of  the 
things  laid  to  his  charge. 

17  When  therefore  they  were  come 
hither,  without  any  delay,  on  the  day 
following,  sitting  in  the  judgment  seat,  I 
commanded  the  man  to  be  brought. 

18  Against  whom,  when  the  accusers 
stood  up,  they  brought  no  accusation  of 
things  which  I  thought  ill  of: 

19  But  had  certain  questions  of  their 
own  superstition  against  him,  and  of  one 
Jesus  deceased,  whom  Paul  affirmed  to 
be  alive. 

20  I  therefore  being  in  a  doubt  of  this 
manner  of  question,  asked  him  whether 
he  would  go  to  Jerusalem,  and  there  be 
judged  of  these  things. 

21  But  Paul  appealing  to  be  reserved 
unto  the  hearing  of  Augustus,  I  com- 
manded him  to  be  kept,  till  I  might  send 
him  to  Caesar. 

22  And  Agrippa  said  to  Festus:  I 
would  also  hear  the  man,  myself.  To 
morrow,  said  he,  thou  shalt  hear 
him. 

23  And  on  the  next  day,  when  Agrippa 
and  Bernice  were  come  with  great  pomp, 
and  had  entered  into  the  hall  of  audience, 
with  the  tribunes,  and  principal  men  of 
the  city,  at  Festus'  commandment,  Paul 
was  brought  forth. 

24  And  Festus  saith:  King  Agrippa, 
and  all  ye  men  who  are  here  present  with 
us,  you  see  this  man,  about  whom  all  the 
multitude  of  the  Jews  dealt  with  me  at 
Jerusalem,  requesting  and  crying  out  that 
he  ought  not  to  live  any  longer. 

25  Yet  have  I  found  nothing  that  he 
hath  committed  worthy  of  death.  But 
forasmuch  as  he  himself  hath  appealed 
to  Augustus,  I  have  determined  to  send 
him. 

26  Of  whom  I  have  nothing  certain  to 
write  to  my  lord.  For  which  cause  I 
have  brought  him  forth  before  you,  and 
especially  before  thee,  O  king  Agrippa, 
that  examination  being  made,  I  may  have 
what  to  write. 

27  For  it  seemeth  to  me  unreasongible

to  send  a  prisoner,  and  not  withal  to  sig- 
nify the  crimes  laid  against  him. 


CHAPTER  26. 

THEN  Agrippa  said  unto  Paul,  Thou 
art  permitted  to  speak  for  thyself. 
Then  Paul  stretched  forth  the  hand,  and 
answered  for  himself : 

2  I  think  myself  happy,  king  Agrippa, 
because  I  shall  answer  for  myself  this 
day  before  thee  touching  all  the  things 
whereof  I  am  accused  of  the  Jews : 

3  Especially  because  I  know  thee  to  be 
expert  in  all  customs  and  questions  which 
are  among  the  Jews:  wherefore  I  be- 
seech thee  to  hear  me  patiently. 

4  My  manner  of  life  from  my  youth, 
which  was  at  the  first  among  mine  own 
nation  at  Jerusalem,  know  all  the  Jews; 

5  Which  knew  me  from  the  beginning, 
if  they  would  testify,  that  after  the  most 
straitest  sect  of  our  religion  I  lived  a 
Pharisee. 

6  And  now  I  stand  and  am  judged  for 
the  hope  of  the  promise  made  of  God 
unto  our  fathers : 

7  Unto  which  promise  our  twelve  tribes, 
instantly  serving  God  day  and  night,  hope 
to  come.  For  which  hope's  sake,  king 
Agrippa,  I  am  accused  of  the  Jews. 

8  Why  should  it  be  thought  a  thing  in- 
credible with  you,  that  God  should  raise 
the  dead? 

9  I  verily  thought  with  myself,  that 
I  ought  to  do  many  things  contrary  to 
the  name  of  Jesus  of  Nazareth. 

10  Which  thing  I  also  did  in  Jerusa- 
lem :  and  many  of  the  saints  did  I  shut 
up  in  prison,  having  received  authority 
from  the  chief  priests ;  and  when  they 
were  put  to  death,  I  gave  my  voice  against 
them. 

11  And  I  punished  them  oft  in  every 
synagogue,  and  compelled  them  to  blas- 
pheme ;  and  being  exceedingly  mad 
against  them,  I  persecuted  them  even 
unto  strange  cities. 

12  Whereupon  as  I  went  to  Damascus 
with  authority  and  commission  from  the 
chief  priests, 

13  At  midday,  O  king,  I  saw  in  the 
way  a  light  from  heaven,  above  the 
brightness  of  the  sun,  shining  round  about 
me  and  them  which  journeyed  with  me. 

14  And  when  we  were  all  fallen  to  the 
earth,  I  heard  a  voice  speaking  unto  me, 


Agrippa,  that,  after  examination 
had,  I  rnay  have  somewhat  to  write. 
27  For  it  seemeth  to  me  unreason- 
able, in  sending  a  prisoner,  not 
withal  to  signify  the  cljarges  against 
him. 

'yf%  A  -^^  Agrippa  said  unto 
^^±\.  Paul,  Thou  art  permitted 
to  speak  for  thyself.  Then  Paul 
stretched  forth  his  hand,  and  made 
his  defence:

Agrippa,  that  I  am  to  make  my  de- 
fence before  thee  this  day  touching 
all  the  things  whereof  I  am  accused 
by  the  Jews:  3  especially  because 
thou  art  expert  in  all  customs  and

Jews:  wherefore  I  beseech  thee  to 
hear  me  patiently.  4  My  manner 
of  life  then  from  my  youth  up, 
which  was  from  the  beginning

Jerusalem,     know     all     the     Jews;

first,  if  they  be  willing  to  testify, 
how  that  after  the  straitest  sect 
of  our  religion  I  lived  a  Pharisee. 

6  And  now  I  stand  here  to  be 
judged  for  the  hope  of  the  promise 
made  of  God  unto  our  fathers;  7 
unto  which  promise  our  twelve 
tribes,  earnestly  serving  God  night 
and  day,  hope  to  attain.  And  con- 
cerning this  hope  I  am  accused  by 
the  Jews,  O  king!  8  Why  is  it 
judged  incredible  with  you,  if  God 
doth  raise  the  dead?  9  I  verily 
thought  with  myself,  that  I  ought 
to  do  many  things  contrary  to  the 
name  of  Jesus  of  Nazareth.  10  And 
this  I  also  did  in  Jerusalem :  and 
I  both  shut  up  many  of  the  saints

ity from  the  chief  priests,  and  when

ishing them  oftentimes  in  all  the 
synagogues,  I  strove  to  make  them 
blaspheme ;  and  being  exceed- 
ingly mad  against  them,  I  perse- 
cuted them  even  unto  foreign  cities. 

12  Whereupon  as  I  journeyed  to 
Damascus  with  the  authority  and 
commission    of    the    chief    priests, 

13  at  midday,  O  king,  I  saw  on  the 
way  a  light  from  heaven,  above 
the  brightness  of  the  sun,  shining

before  thee,  king  Agrippa,  that, 
after  examination  had,  I  may  have 
somewhat  to  write.  2^  For  it 
seemeth  to  me  unreasonable,  in 
sending  a  prisoner,  not  withal  to 
signify  the  charges  against  him. 

r-  yV  ND  Agrippa  said  unto  Paul, 
20xjL  Thou  art  permitted  to

stretched  forth  his  hand,  and  made

CHAPTER  26. 

THEN  Agrippa  said  to  Paul:  Thou 
art  permitted  to  speak  for  thyself. 
Then  Paul  stretching  forth  his  hand,  be- 
gan to  make  his  answer. 

2  I  think  myself  happy,  O  king  Agrippa, 
that  I  am  to  answer  for  myself  this  day 
before  thee,  touching  all  the  things 
whereof  I  am  accused  by  the  Jews. 

3  Especially  as  thou  knowest  all,  both 
customs  and  questions  that  are  among 
the  Jews :  Wherefore  I  beseech  thee  to 
hear  me  patiently. 

4  And  my  life  indeed  from  my  youth, 
which  was  from  the  beginning  among  my 
own  nation  in  Jerusalem,  all  the  Jews  do 
know : 

5  Having  known  me  from  the  beginning 
(if  they  will  give  testimony)  that  ac- 
cording to  the  most  sure  sect  of  our  re- 
ligion I  lived  a  Pharisee. 

6  And  now  for  the  hope  of  the  promise 
that  was  made  by  God  to  the  fathers,  do 
I  stand  subject  to  judgment: 

7  Unto  which,  our  twelve  tribes,  serv- 
ing night  and  day,  hope  to  come.  For 
which  hope,  O  king,  I  am  accused  by  the 
Jews. 

8  Why  should  it  be  thought  a  thing 
incredible,  that  God  should  raise  the 
dead? 

9  And  I  indeed  did  formerly  think,  that 
I  ought  to  do  many  things  contrary  to  the 
name  of  Jesus  of  Nazareth. 

10  Which  also  I  did  at  Jerusalem,  and 
many  of  the  saints  did  I  shut  up  in 
prison,  having  received  authority  of  the 
chief  priests :  and  when  they  were  put  to 
death,  I  brought  the  sentence. 

11  And  oftentimes  punishing  them,  in 
every  synagogue,  I  compelled  them  to 
blaspheme:  and  being  yet  more  mad 
against  them,  I  persecuted  them  even 
unto   foreign  cities. 

12  Whereupon  when  I  was  going  to 
Damascus  with  authority  and  permission 
of  the  chief  priest, 

13  At  midday,  O  king,  I  saw  in  the  way 
a  light  from  heaven  above  the  brightness 
of  the  sun,  shining  round  about  me,  and 
them  that  were  in  company  with  me. 

14  And  when  we  were  all  fallen  down 
on  the  ground,  I  heard  a  voice  speaking

and  saying  in  the  Hebrew  tongue,  Saul, 
Saul,  why  persecutest  thou  me?  it  is 
hard  for  thee  to  kick  against  the  pricks. 

15  And  I  said,  Who  art  thou.  Lord? 
And  he  said,  I  am  Jesus  whom  thou  per- 
secutest. 

16  But  rise,  and  stand  upon  thy  feet : 
for  I  have  appeared  unto  thee  for  this 
purpose,  to  make  thee  a  minister  and  a 
witness  both  of  these  things  which  thou 
hast  seen,  and  of  those  things  in  the 
which  I  will  appear  unto  thee ; 

17  Delivering  thee  from  the  people,  and 
from  the  Gentiles,  unto  whom  now  I  send 
thee, 

18  To  open  their  eyes,  and  to  turn  them 
from  darkness  to  light,  and  from  the 
power  of  Satan  unto  God,  that  they  may 
receive  forgiveness  of  sins,  and  inher- 
itance among  them  which  are  sanctified 
by  faith  that  is  in  me. 

19  Whereupon,  O  king  Agrippa,  I  was 
not  disobedient  unto  the  heavenly  vision : 

20  But  shewed  first  unto  them  of 
Damascus,  and  at  Jerusalem,  and 
throughout  all  the  coasts  of  Judaea,  and 
then  to  the  Gentiles,  that  they  should 
repent  and  turn  to  God,  and  do  works 
meet  for  repentance. 

21  For  these  causes  the  Jews  caught 
me  in  the  temple,  and  went  about  to  kill 
me. 

22  Having  therefore  obtained  help  of 
God,  I  continue  unto  this  day,  witnessing 
both  to  small  and  great,  saying  none  other 
things  than  those  which  the  prophets  and 
Moses  did  say  should  come: 

23  That  Christ  should  suffer,  and  that 
he  should  be  the  first  that  should  rise 
from  the  dead,  and  should  shew  light 
unto  the  people,  and  to  the  Gentiles. 

24  And  as  he  thus  spake  for  himself, 
Festus  said  with  a  loud  voice,  Paul,  thou 
art  beside  thyself;  much  learning  doth 
make  thee  mad. 

25  But  he  said,  I  am  not  mad,  most 
noble  Festus;  but  speak  forth  the  words 
of  truth  and  soberness. 

26  For  the  king  knoweth  of  these  things, 
before  whom  also  I  speak  freely :  for  I 
am  persuaded  that  none  of  these  things 
are  hidden  from  him;  for  this  thing  was 
not  done  in  a  corner. 

27  King  Agrippa,  believest  thou  the 
prophets?    I  know  that  thou  believest. 

28  Then  Agrippa  said  unto  Paul,  Al- 
most thou  persuadest  me  to  be  a  Chris- 
tian. 

29  And   Paul   said,   I   would   to   God, 


round  about  me  and  them  that  jour- 
neyed with  me.  14  And  when  we 
were  all  fallen  to  the  earth,  I  heard 
a  voice  saying  unto  me  in  the  He- 
brew language,  Saul,  Saul,  why  per- 
secutest thou  me?  it  is  hard  for 
thee  to  kick  against  the  goad. 
15  And  I  said.  Who  art  thou,  Lord? 
And  the  Lord  said,  I  am  Jesus 
whom  thou  persecutest.  16  But 
arise,  and  stand  upon  thy  feet :  for 
to  this  end  have  I  appeared  unto 
thee,  to  appoint  thee  a  minister  and 
a  witness  both  of  the  things  where- 
in thou  hast  seen  me,  and  of  the 
things  wherein  I  will  appear  unto 
thee ;  17  delivering  thee  from  the 
people,  and  from  the  Gentiles,  unto 
whom  I  send  thee,  18  to  open  their 
eyes,  that  they  may  turn  from  dark- 
ness to  light,  and  from  the  power 
of  Satan  unto  God,  that  they  may 
receive  remission  of  sins  and  an 
inheritance  among  them  that  are 
sanctified  by  faith  in  me.  19  Where- 
fore, O  king  Agrippa,  I  was  not 
disobedient  unto  the  heavenly  vi- 
sion :  20  but  declared  both  to  them 
of  Damascus  first,  and  at  Jerusa- 
lem, and  throughout  all  the  country 
of  Judaea,  and  also  to  the  Gentiles, 
that  they  should  repent  and  turn 
to  God,  doing  works  worthy  of  re- 
pentance. 21  For  this  cause  the 
Jews  seized  me  in  the  temple,  and 
assayed  to  kill  me.  22  Having 
therefore  obtained  the  help  that  is 
from  God,  I  stand  unto  this  day 
testifying  both  to  small  and  great, 
saying  nothing  but  what  the 
prophets  and  Moses  did  say  should 
come;  23  how  that  the  Christ  must 
suffer,  and  how  that  he  first  by  the 
resurrection  of  the  dead  should 
proclaim  light  both  to  the  people 
and  to  the  Gentiles. 

24  And  as  he  thus  made  his  de- 
fence, Festus  saith  with  a  loud 
voice,  Paul,  thou  art  mad ;  thy  much 
learning  doth  turn  thee  to  mad- 
ness. 25  But  Paul  saith,  I  am  not 
mad,  most  excellent  Festus;  but 
speak  forth  words  of  truth  and  so- 
berness. 26  For  the  king  knoweth

Saul,  Saul,  why  persecutest  thou

Wherefore,  O  king  Agrippa,  I  was 
not  disobedient  unto  the  heavenly 
vision :  20  but  declared  both  to  them 
of  Damascus  first,  and  at  Jerusa-

24  And  as  he  thus  made  his

much  learning  is  turning  thee  mad. 
25  But  Paul  saith,  I  am  not  mad,

forth  words  of  truth  and  sober-

why  persecutest  thou  me?  It  is  hard  for

15  And  I  said:  Who  art  thou,  Lord? 
And  the  Lord  answered:  I  am  Jesus 
whom  thou  persecutest. 

16  But  rise  up,  and  stand  upon  thy

and  a  witness  of  those  things  which  thou

18  To  open  their  eyes,  that  they  may  be 
converted  from  darkness  to  light,  and 
from  the  power  of  Satan  to  God,  that 
they  may  receive  forgiveness  of  sins,  and 
a  lot  among  the  saints,  by  the  faith  that 
is  in  me. 

19  Whereupon,  O  king  Agrippa,  I  was 
not  incredulous  to  the  heavenly  vision : 

20  But  to  them  first  that  are  at  Damas- 
cus, and  at  Jerusalem,  and  unto  all  the 
country  of  Judea,  and  to  the  Gentiles  did 
I  preach,  that  they  should  do  penance, 
and  turn  to  God,  doing  works  worthy  of 
penance. 

21  For  this  cause  the  Jews,  when  I  was 
in  the  temple,  having  apprehended  me, 
went  about  to  kill  me. 

22  But  being  aided  by  the  help  of  God, 
I  stand  unto  this  day,  witnessing  both  to 
small  and  great,  saying  no  other  thing

from  the  dead,  and  should  shew  light  to

24  As  he  spoke  these  things,  and  made

25  And  Paul  said :  I  am  not  mad,  most

26  For  the  king  knoweth  of  these

dence. For  I  am  persuaded  that  none 
of  these  things  are  hidden  from  him. 
For  neither  was  any  of  these  things  done 
in  a  corner. 

27  Believest  thou  the  prophets,  O  king 
Agrippa?     I  know  that  thou  believest. 

28  And  Agrippa  said  to  Paul :  In  a 
little  thou  persuadest  me  to  become  a 
Christian.

that  not  only  thou,  but  also  all  that 
hear  me  this  day,  were  both  almost,  and 
altogether  such  as  I  am,  except  these 
bonds. 

30  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  the 
king  rose  up,  and  the  governor,  and  Ber- 
nice,  and  they  that  sat  with  them : 

31  And  when  they  were  gone  aside, 
they,  talked  between  themselves,  saying, 
This  man  doeth  nothing  worthy  of  death 
or  of  bonds. 

32  Then  said  Agrippa  unto  Festus,  This 
man  might  have  been  set  at  liberty,  if 
he  had  not  appealed  unto  Caesar. 


CHAPTER  27. 

AND  when  it  was  determined  that  we 
should  sail  into  Italy,  they  delivered 
Paul  and  certain  other  prisoners  unto  one 
named  Julius,  a  centurion  of  Augustus' 
band. 

2  And  entering  into  a  ship  of  Adramyt- 
tium,  we  launched,  meaning  to  sail  by 
the  coasts  of  Asia ;  one  Aristarchus,  a 
Macedonian  of  Thessalonica,  being  with 
us. 

3  And  the  next  day  we  touched  at  Si- 
don.  And  Julius  courteously  entreated 
Paul,  and  gave  him  liberty  to  go  unto 
his  friends  to  refresh  himself. 

4  And  when  we  had  launched  from 
thence,  we  sailed  under  Cyprus,  because 
the  winds  v/ere  contrary. 

5  And  when  we  had  sailed  over  the 
sea  of  Cilicia  and  Pamphylia,  we  came 
to  Myra,  a  city  of  Lycia. 

6  And  there  the  centurion  found  a  ship 
of  Alexandria  sailing  into  Italy;  and  he 
put  us  therein. 

7  And  when  we  had  sailed  slowly  many 
days,  and  scarce  were  come  over  against 
Cnidus,  the  wind  not  suffering  us,  we 
sailed  under  Crete,  over  against  Sal- 
mone; 

8  And,  hardly  passing  it,  came  unto 
a  place  which  is  called  The  fair  havens; 
nigh  whereunto  was  the  city  of  Lasea. 

9  Now  when  much  time  was  spent,  and 
when  sailing  was  now  dangerous,  because 
the  fast  was  now  already  past,  Paul  ad- 
monished them, 

ID  And  said  unto  them,  Sirs,  I  perceive 


believest  thou  the  prophets  ?  I  know 
that  thou  believest.  28  And  Agrippa 
said  unto  Paul,  With  but  little  per- 
suasion thou  wouldest  fain  make 
me  a  Christian.  29  And  Paul  said, 
I  would  to  God,  that  whether  with 
little  or  with  much,  not  thou  only, 
but  also  all  that  hear  me  this  day, 
might  become  such  as  I  am,  except 
these  bonds. 

30  And  the  king  rose  up,  and  the 
governor,  and  Bernice,  and  they 
that  sat  with  them :  31  and  when 
they  had  withdrawn,  they  spake 
one  to  another,  saying.  This  man 
doeth  nothing  worthy  of  death  or 
of  bonds.  32  And  Agrippa  said 
unto  Festus,  This  man  might  have 
been  set  at  liberty,  if  he  had  not 
appealed  unto  Csesar. 


^^  \  ND  when  it  was  determined 
^/Jijl  that  we  should  sail  for 
Italy,  they  delivered  Paul  and  cer- 
tain other  prisoners  to  a  centurion 
named  Julius,  of  the  Augustan 
band.  2  And  embarking  in  a  ship 
of  Adramyttium,  which  was  about 
to  sail  unto  the  places  on  the  coast 
of  Asia,  we  put  to  sea,  Aristarchus, 
a  Macedonian  of  Thessalonica,  be- 
ing with  us.  3  And  the  next  day 
we  touched  at  Sidon :  and  Julius 
treated  Paul  kindly,  and  gave  him 
leave  to  go  unto  his  friends  and  re- 
fresh himself.  4  And  putting  to 
sea  from  thence,  we  sailed  under  the 
lee  of  Cyprus,  because  the  winds 
were  contrary.  5  And  when  we  had 
sailed  across  the  sea  which  is  off 
Cilicia  and  Pamphylia,  we  came  to 
Myra,  a  city  of  Lycia.  6  And  there 
the  centurion  found  a  ship  of  Alex- 
andria sailing  for  Italy ;  and  he  put 
us  therein.  7  And  when  we  had 
sailed  slowly  many  days,  and  were 
come  with  difficulty  over  against 
Cnidus,  the  wind  not  further  suf- 
fering us,  we  sailed  under  the  lee 
of  Crete,  over  against  Salmone; 
8  and  with  difficulty  coasting  along 
it  we  came  unto  a  certain  place 
called  Fair  Havens;  nigh  where- 
unto was  the  city  of  Lasea.

CHAPTER  27. 

AND  when  it  was  determined  that  he 
should  sail  into  Italy,  and  that  Paul, 
with  the  other  prisoners,  should  be  de- 
livered to  a  centurion,  named  Julius,  of 
the  band  Augusta, 

2  Going  on  board  a  ship  of  Adrume- 
tum,  we  launched,  meaning  to  sail  by  the 
coasts  of  Asia,  Aristarchus,  the  Macedo- 
nian of  Thessalonica,  continuing  with  us. 

3  And  the  day  following  we  came  to 
Sidon.  And  Julius  treating  Paul  courte- 
ously, permitted  him  to  go  to  his  friends, 
and  to  take  care  of  himself. 

4  And  when  we  had  launched  from 
thence,  we  sailed  under  Cyprus,  because 
the  winds  were  contrary. 

5  And  sailing  over  the  sea  of  Cilicia, 
and  Pamphylia,  we  came  to  Lystra,  which 
is  in  Lycia : 

6  And  there  the  centurion  finding  a 
ship  of  Alexandria  sailing  into  Italy,  re- 
moved us  into  it. 

7  And  when  for  many  days  we  had 
sailed  slowly,  and  were  scarce  come  over 
against  Gnidus,  the  wind  not  suffering  us, 
we  sailed  near  Crete  by  Salmone : 

8  And  with  much  ado  sailing  by  it,  we 
came  into  a  certain  place,  which  is  called 
Good-havens,  nigh  to  which  was  the  city 
of  Thalassa. 

9  And  when  much  time  was  spent,  and 
when  sailing  now  was  dangerous,  because 
the  fast  was  now  past,  Paul  comforted 
them, 

10  Saying  to  them :  Ye  men,  I  see  that 
the  voyage  beginneth  to  be  with  injury 


144      AUTHORIZED 


THE  ACTS,  27. 


REVISED 


that  this  voyage  will  be  with  hurt  and 
much  damage,  not  only  of  the  lading  and 
ship,  but  also  of  our  lives. 

11  Nevertheless  the  centurion  believed 
the  master  and  the  owner  of  the  ship, 
more  than  those  things  which  were 
spoken  by  Paul. 

12  And  because  the  haven  was  not  com- 
modious to  winter  in,  the  more  part  ad- 
vised to  depart  thence  also,  if  by  any 
means  they  might  attain  to  Phenice,  and 
there  to  winter ;  which  is  an  haven  of 
Crete,  and  lieth  toward  the  south  west 
and  north  west. 

13  And  when  the  south  wind  blew 
softly,  supposing  that  they  had  obtained 
their  purpose,  loosing  thence,  they  sailed 
close  by  Crete. 

14  But  not  long  after  there  arose 
against  it  a  tempestuous  wind,  called 
Euroclydon. 

15  And  when  the  ship  was  caught,  and 
could  not  bear  up  into  the  wind,  we  let 
her  drive. 

16  And  running  under  a  certain  island 
which  is  called  Clauda,  we  had  much  work 
to  come  by  the  boat : 

17  Which  when  they  had  taken  up, 
they  used  helps,  undergirding  the  ship; 
and,  fearing  lest  they  should  fall  into 
the  quicksands,  strake  sail,  and  so  were 
driven. 

18  And  we  being  exceedingly  tossed 
with  a  tempest,  the  next  day  they  light- 
ened the  ship ; 

19  And  the  third  day  we  cast  out  with 
our  own  hands  the  tackling  of  the  ship. 

20  And  when  neither  sun  nor  stars  in 
many  days  appeared,  and  no  small  tempest 
lay  on  us,  all  hope  that  we  should  be 
saved  was  then  taken  away, 

21  But  after  long  abstinence  Paul  stood 
forth  in  the  midst  of  them,  and  said,  Sirs, 
ye  should  have  hearkened  unto  me,  and 
not  have  loosed  from  Crete,  and  to  have 
gained  this  harm  and  loss. 

22  And  now  I  exhort  you  to  be  of  good 
cheer:  for  there  shall  be  no  loss  of  any 
man's  life  among  you,  but  of  the  ship. 

23  For  there  stood  by  me  this  night  the 
angel  of  God,  whose  I  am,  and  whom  I 
serve, 

24  Saying,  Fear  not,  Paul;  thou  must 
be  brought  before  Caesar :  and,  lo,  God 
hath  given  thee  all  them  that  sail  with 
thee. 

25  Wherefore,  sirs,  be  of  good  cheer: 
for  I  believe  God,  that  it  shall  be  even 
as  it  was  told  me. 


ready  gone  by,  Paul  admonished 
them,  10  and  said  unto  them,  Sirs, 
I  perceive  that  the  voyage  will  be 
with  injury  and  much  loss,  not  only 
of  the  lading  and  the  ship,  but  also 
of  our  lives.  11  But  the  centurion 
gave  more  heed  to  the  master  and 
to  the  owner  of  the  ship,  than  to 
those  things  which  were  spoken  by 
Paul.  12  And  because  the  haven 
was  not  commodious  to  winter  in, 
the  more  part  advised  to  put  to  sea 
from  thence,  if  by  any  means  they 
could  reach  Phoenix,  and  winter 
there;  which  is  a  haven  of  Crete, 
looking  north-east  and  south-east. 
13  And  when  the  south  wind  blew 
softly,  supposing  that  they  had  ob- 
tained their  purpose,  they  weighed 
anchor  and  sailed  along  Crete,  close 
in  shore.  14  But  after  no  long  time 
there  beat  down  from  it  a  tempes- 
tuous wind,  which  is  called  Eura- 
quilo :  15  and  when  the  ship  was 
caught,  and  could  not  face  the  wind, 
we  gave  way  to  it,  and  were  driven. 
16  And  running  under  the  lee  of  a 
small  island  called  Cauda,  we  were 
able,  with  difficulty,  to  secure  the 
boat:  17  and  when  they  had  hoisted 
it  up,  they  used  helps,  under-gird- 
ing the  ship ;  and,  fearing  lest  they 
should  be  cast  upon  the  Syrtis,  they 
lowered  the  gear,  and  so  were 
driven.  18  And  as  we  laboured  ex- 
ceedingly with  the  storm,  the  next 
day  they  began  to  throw  the  freight 
overboard;  19  and  the  third  day 
they  cast  out  with  their  own  hands 
the  tackling  of  the  ship.  20  And 
when  neither  sun  nor  stars  shone 
upon  us  for  many  days,  and  no 
small  tempest  lay  on  us,  all  hope 
that  we  should  be  saved  was  now 
taken  away.  21  And  when  they  had 
been  long  without  food,  then  Paul 
stood  forth  in  the  midst  of  them, 
and  said,  Sirs,  ye  should  have 
hearkened  unto  me,  and  not  have 
set  sail  from  Crete,  and  have  got- 
ten this  injury  and  loss.  22  And 
now  I  exhort  you  to  be  of  good 
cheer :  for  there  shall  be  no  loss 
of  life  among  you,  but  only  the 
ship.  23  For  there  stood  by  me 
this  night  an  angel  of  the  God 
whose  I  am,  whom  also  I  serve,

must  stand  before  Caesar:  and  lo,

Sirs,  I  perceive  that  the  voyage

14  But  after  no  long  time  there

15  and  when  the  ship  was  caught, 
and  could  not  face  the  wind,  we 
gave    way    to   it,   and    were   driven.

whose   I    am,    whom   also    I    serve, 


and  much  damage,  not  only  of  the  lading 
and  ship,  but  also  of  our  lives. 

11  But  the  centurion  believed  the  pilot 
and  the  master  of  the  ship,  more  than 
those  things  which  were  said  by  Paul. 

12  And  whereas  it  was  not  a  commodi- 
ous haven  to  winter  in,  the  greatest  part 
gave  counsel  to  sail  thence,  if  by  any 
means  they  might  reach  Phenice  to  win- 
ter there,  which  is  a  haven  of  Crete,  look- 
ing towards  the  southwest  and  north- 
west. 

13  And  the  south  wind  gently  blowing, 
thinking  that  they  had  obtained  their 
purpose,  when  they  had  loosed  from 
Asson,  they  sailed  close  by  Crete. 

14  But  not  long  after,  there  arose 
against  it  a  tempestuous  wind,  called 
Euroaquilo. 

15  And  when  the  ship  was  caught,  and 
could  not  bear  up  against  the  wind,  giv- 
ing up  the  ship  to  the  winds,  we  were 
driven. 

16  And  running  under  a  certain  island, 
that  is  called  Cauda,  we  had  much  work 
to  come  by  the  boat. 

17  Which  being  taken  up,  they  used

lest  they  should  fall  into  the  quicksands, 
they  let  down  the  sail  yard,  and  so  were

18  And  we  being  mightily  tossed  with 
the  tempest,  the  next  day  they  light- 
ened the  ship. 

19  And  the  third  day  they  cast  out  with

26  Howbeit  we  must  be  cast  upon  a 
certain  island. 

27  But  when  the  fourteenth  night  was 
come,  as  we  were  driven  up  and  down 
in  Adria,  about  midnight  the  shipmen 
deemed  that  they  drew  near  to  some 
country ; 

28  And  sounded,  and  found  it  twenty 
fathoms :  and  when  they  had  gone  a  little 
further,  they  sounded  again,  and  found 
it  fifteen  fathoms. 

29  Then  fearing  lest  we  should  have 
fallen  upon  rocks,  they  cast  four  anchors 
out  of  the  stern,  and  wished  for  the  day. 

30  And  as  the  shipmen  were  about  to 
flee  out  of  the  ship,  when  they  had  let 
down  the  boat  into  the  sea,  under  colour 
as  though  they  would  have  cast  anchors 
out  of  the  foreship, 

31  Paul  said  to  the  centurion  and  to 
the  soldiers.  Except  these  abide  in  the 
ship,  ye  cannot  be  saved. 

32  Then  the  soldiers  cut  oflf  the  ropes 
of  the  boat,  and  let  her  fall  oflf. 

33  And  while  the  day  was  coming  on, 
Paul  besought  them  all  to  take  meat,  say- 
ing. This  day  is  the  fourteenth  day  that 
^e  have  tarried  and  continued  fasting, 
having  taken  nothing. 

34  Wherefore  I  pray  you  to  take  some 
meat :  for  this  is  for  your  health :  for 
there  shall  not  an  hair  fall  from  the  head 
of  any  of  you. 

35  And  AVhen  he  had  thus  spoken,  he 
took  bread,  and  gave  thanks  to  God  in 
presence  of  them  all :  and  when  he  had 
broken  it,  he  began  to  eat. 

36  Then  were  they  all  of  good  cheer, 
and  they  also  took  some  meat. 

37  And  we  were  in  all  in  the  ship  two 
hundred  threescore  and  sixteen  souls. 

38  And  when  they  had  eaten  enough, 
they  lightened  the  ship,  and  cast  out 
the  wheat  into  the  sea. 

39  And  when  it  was  day,  they  knew 
not  the  land :  but  they  discovered  a  cer- 
tain creek  with  a  shore,  into  the  which 
they  were  minded,  if  it  were  possible,  to 
thrust  in  the  ship. 

40  And  when  they  had  taken  up  the 
anchors,  they  committed  themselves  unto 
the  sea,  and  loosed  the  rudder  bands,  and 
hoised  up  the  mainsail  to  the  wind,  and 
made  toward  shore. 

41  And  falling  into  a  place  where  two 
seas  met,  they  ran  the  ship  aground ;  and 
the  forepart  stuck  fast,  and  remained 
unmoveable,  but  the  hinder  part  was 
broken  with  the  violence  of  the  waves. 


God  hath  granted  thee  all  them  that 
sail  with  thee.  25  Wherefore,  sirs, 
be  of  good  cheer :  for  I  believe 
God,  that  it  shall  be  even  so  as  it 
hath  been  spoken  unto  me.  26  How- 
beit we  must  be  cast  upon  a  certain 
island. 

27  But  when  the  fourteenth  night 
was  come,  as  we  were  driven  to  and 
fro  in  the  sea  of  Adria,  about  mid- 
night the  sailors  surmised  that  they 
were  drawing  near  to  some  coun- 
try; 28  and  they  sounded,  and 
found  twenty  fathoms:  and  after  a 
little  space,  they  sounded  again, 
and  found  fifteen  fathoms.  29  And 
fearing  lest  haply  we  should  be  cast 
ashore  on  rocky  ground,  they  let 
go  four  anchors  from  the  stern,  and 
wished  for  the  day.  30  And  as 
the  sailors  were  seeking  to  flee  out 
of  the  ship,  and  had  lowered  the 
boat  into  the  sea,  under  colour  as 
though  they  would  lay  out  anchors 
from  the  foreship,  31  Paul  said  to 
the  centurion  and  to  the  soldiers. 
Except  these  abide  in  the  ship,  ye 
cannot  be  saved.  32  Then  the  sol- 
diers cut  away  the  ropes  of  the 
boat,  and  let  her  fall  off.  33  And 
while  the  day  was  coming  on,  Paul 
besought  them  all  to  take  some 
food,  saying.  This  day  is  the  four- 
teenth day  that  ye  wait  and  con- 
tinue fasting,  having  taken  nothing. 

34  Wherefore  I  beseech  you  to  take 
some  food:  for  this  is  for  your 
safety :  for  there  shall  not  a  hair 
perish  from  the  head  of  any  of  you. 

35  And  when  he  had  said  this,  and 
had  taken  bread,  he  gave  thanks 
to  God  in  the  presence  of  all :  and 
he    brake    it,    and    began    to    eat. 

36  Then  were  they  all  of  good 
cheer,  and  themselves  also  took 
food.  37  And  we  were  in  all  in  the 
ship  two  hundred  threescore  and 
sixteen  souls.  38  And  when  they 
had  eaten  enough,  they  lightened 
the  ship,  throwing  out  the  wheat 
into  the  sea.  39  And  when  it  was 
day,  they  knew  not  the  land :  but 
they  perceived  a  certain  bay  with 
a  beach,  and  they  took  counsel 
whether  they  could  drive  the  ship 
upon  it.  40  And  casting  off  the 
anchors,  they  left  them  in  the  sea, 
at  the  same  time  loosing  the  bands 
of    the    rudders;    and    hoisting   up

24  saying,  Fear  not,  Paul ;  thou 
must  stand  before  Caesar :  and  lo, 
God  hath  granted  thee  all  them  that 
sail  with  thee.  25  Wherefore,  sirs, 
be  of  good  cheer :  for  I  believe 
God,  that  it  shall  be  even  so  as  it 
hath  been  spoken  unto  me.  26  But 
we  must  be  cast  upon  a  certain 
island. 

27  But  when  the  fourteenth 
night  was  come,  as  we  were  driven 
to  and  fro  in  the  sea  of  Adria, 
about  midnight  the  sailors  sur- 
mised that  they  were  drawing  near 
to  some  country:  28  and  they 
sounded,  and  found  twenty  fath- 
oms ;  and  after  a  little  space,  they 
sounded  again,  and  found  fifteen 
fathoms.  29  And  fearing  lest  haply 
we  should  be  cast  ashore  on  rocky

to  the  soldiers,  Except  these  abide

32  Then  the  soldiers  cut  away  the 
ropes  of  the  boat,  and  let  her  fall 
ofif.  33  And  while  the  day  was 
coming  on,  Paul  besought  them  all 
to  take  some  food,  saying.  This  day 
is  the  fourteenth  day  that  ye  wait

you  to  take  some  food :  for  this  is

this,  and  had  taken  bread,  he  gave 
thanks  to  God  in  the  presence  of 
all;  and  he  brake  it,  and  began  to 
eat.  36  Then  were  they  all  of  good 
cheer,  and  themselves  also  took 
food.  2)7  And  we  were  in  all  in 
the  ship  two  hundred  threescore 
and  sixteen  souls.  38  And  when 
they  had  eaten  enough,  they  light- 
ened the  ship,  throwing  out  the 
wheat  into  the  sea.  39  And  when 
it  was  day,  they  knew  not  the  land : 
but  they  perceived  a  certain  bay

for  I  believe  God  that  it  shall  so  be,  as 
it  hath  been  told  me. 

26  And  we  must  come  unto  a  certain 
island. 

27  But  after  the  fourteenth  night  was 
come,  as  we  were  sailing  in  Adria,  about 
midnight,  the  shipmen  deemed  that  they 
discovered  some  country. 

28  Who  also  sounding,  found  twenty 
fathoms;  and  going  on  a  little  further, 
they  found  fifteen  fathoms. 

29  Then  fearing  lest  we  should  fall  upon 
rough  places,  they  cast  four  anchors 
out  of  the  stern,  and  wished  for  the 
day. 

30  But  as  the  shipmen  sought  to  fly  out 
of  the  ship,  having  let  down  the  boat 
into  the  sea,  under  colour,  as  though  they 
would  have  cast  anchors  out  of  the  fore- 
part of  the  ship, 

31  Paul  said  to  the  centurion,  and  to 
the  soldiers:  Except  these  stay  in  the 
ship,  you  cannot  be  saved. 

32  Then  the  soldiers  cut  off  the  ropes 
of  the  boat,  and  let  her  fall  off. 

2,Z  And  when  it  began  to  be  light,  Paul 
besought  them  all  to  take  meat,  saying: 
This  day  is  the  fourteenth  day  that  you 
have  waited,  and  continued  fasting,  tak- 
ing nothing. 

34  Wherefore  I  pray  you  to  take  some 
meat  for  your  health's  sake;  for  there 
shall  not  an  hair  of  the  head  of  any  of 
you  perish. 

35  And  when  he  had  said  these  things, 
taking  bread,  he  gave  thanks  to  God  in 
the  sight  of  them  all;  and  when  he  had 
broken  it,  he  began  to  eat. 

36  Then  were  they  all  of  better  cheer, 
and  they  also  took  some  meat. 

^y  And  we  were  in  all  in  the  ship,  two 
hundred  threescore  and  sixteen  souls. 

38  And  when  they  had  eaten  enough, 
they  lightened  the  ship,  casting  the 
wheat  into  the  sea.

Paul,  kept  them  from  their  purpose ;  and

a  place  where  two  seas  met,  they 
ran  the  vessel  aground ;  and  the 
foreship  struck  and  remained  un- 
moveable,  but  the  stern  began  to 
break  up  by  the  violence  of  the 
waves.  42  And  the  soldiers'  counsel 
was  to  kill  the  prisoners,  lest  any 
of  them  should  swim  out,  and  es- 
cape. 43  But  the  centurion,  desir- 
ing to  save  Paul,  stayed  them  from 
their  purpose;  and  commanded 
that  they  which  could  swim  should 
cast  themselves  overboard,  and  get 
first  to  the  land :  44  and  the  rest, 
some  on  planks,  and  some  on  other 
things  from  the  ship.  And  so  it 
came  to  pass,  that  they  all  escaped 
safe  to  the  land. 


CHAPTER  28. 

AND   when   they   were    escaped,    then 
they  knew  that  the  island  was  called 
Melita. 

2  And  the  barbarous  people  shewed  us 
no  little  kindness :  for  they  kindled  a  fire, 
and  received  us  every  one,  because  of 
the  present  rain,  and  because  of  the 
cold. 

3  And  when  Paul  had  gathered  a 
bundle  of  sticks,  and  laid  them  on  the  fire, 
there  came  a  viper  out  of  the  heat,  and 
fastened  on  his  hand. 

4  And  when  the  barbarians  saw  the 
venomous  beast  hang  on  his  hand,  they 
said  among  themselves.  No  doubt  this 
man  is  a  murderer,  whom,  though  he  hath 
escaped  the  sea,  yet  vengeance  suflfereth 
not  to  live. 

5  And  he  shook  off  the  beast  into  the 
fire,  and  felt  no  harm. 

6  Howbeit  they  looked  when  he  should 
have  swollen,  or  fallen  down  dead  sud- 
denly: but  after  they  had  looked  a  great 
while,  and  saw  no  harm  come  to  him, 
they  changed  their  minds,  and  said  that 
he  was  a  god. 

7  In  the  same  quarters  were  possessions 
of  the  chief  man  of  the  island,  whose 
name  was  Publius ;  who  received  us,  and 
lodged  us  three  days  courteously. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  the  father 
of  Publius  lay  sick  of  a  fever  and  of  a 
bloody  flux:  to  whom  Paul  entered  in, 
and  prayed,  and  laid  his  hands  on  him, 
and  healed  him. 

9  So  when  this  was  done,  others  also,

the  island  was  called  Melita.  2  And

the  cold.  3  But  when  Paul  had 
gathered  a  bundle  of  sticks,  and 
laid  them  on  the  fire,  a  viper 
came  out  by  reason  of  the  heat, 
and  fastened  on  his  hand.  4  And 
when  the  barbarians  saw  the  beast 
hanging  from  his  hand,  they  said 
one  to  another.  No  doubt  this  man 
is  a  murderer,  whom,  though  he 
hath  escaped  from  the  sea,  yet 
Justice   hath   not   suffered   to    live. 

5  Howbeit  he  shook  off  the  beast 
into   the   fire,    and    took   no   harm. 

6  But  they  expected  that  he  would 
have  swollen,  or  fallen  down  dead 
suddenly:  but  when  they  were 
long  in  expectation,  and  beheld 
nothing  amiss  come  to  him,  they 
changed  their  minds,  and  said  that 
he  was  a  god.

that  place  were  lands  belonging  to 
the  chief  man  of  the  island,  named 
Publius;  who  received  us,  and  en-

made  for  the  beach.  41  But  light-

CHAPTER  28. 

AND  when  we  had  escaped,  then  we 
knew  that  the  island  was  called 
Melita.  But  the  barbarians  shewed  us 
no  small  courtesy. 

2  For  kindling  a  fire,  they  refreshed  us 
all,  because  of  the  present  rain,  and  of 
the  cold. 

3  And  when  Paul  had  gathered  together 
a  bundle  of  sticks,  and  had  laid  them  on 
the  fire,  a  viper  coming  out  of  the  heat, 
fastened  on  his  hand. 

4  And  when  the  barbarians  saw  the 
beast  hanging  on  his  hand,  they  said  one 
to  another:  Undoubtedly  this  man  is  a 
murderer,  who  though  he  hath  escaped 
the  sea,  yet  vengeance  doth  not  suffer 
him  to  live. 

5  And  he  indeed  shaking  off  the  beast 
into  the  fire,  suffered  no  harm. 

6  But  they  supposed  that  he  would  be- 
gin to  swell  up,  and  that  he  would  sud- 
denly fall  down  and  die.  But  expecting 
long,  and  seeing  that  there  came  no 
harm  to  him,  changing  their  minds,  they 
said,  that  he  was  a  god. 

7  Now  in  these  places  were  possessions 
of  the  chief  man  of  the  island,  named

entertained  us  courteously.

bloody  flux.  To  whom  Paul  entered  in;

which  had  diseases  in  the  island,  came, 
and  were  healed : 

10  Who  also  honoured  us  with  many 
honours ;  and  when  we  departed,  they 
laded  us  with  such  things  as  were  neces- 
sary. 

11  And  after  three  months  we  departed 
in  a  ship  of  Alexandria,  which  had  win- 
tered in  the  isle,  whose  sign  was  Castor 
and  Pollux. 

12  And  landing  at  Syracuse,  we  tarried 
there  three  days. 

13  And  from  thence  we  fetched  a  com- 
pass, and  came  to  Rhegium :  and  after 
one  day  the  south  wind  blew,  and  we 
came  the  next  day  to  Puteoli : 

14  Where  we  found  brethren,  and  were 
desired  to  tarry  with  them  seven  days : 
and  so  we  went  toward  Rome. 

15  And  from  thence,  when  the  brethren 
heard  of  us,  they  came  to  meet  us  as  far 
as  Appii  forum,  and  The  three  taverns : 
whom  when  Paul  saw,  he  thanked  God, 
and  took  courage. 

16  And  when  we  came  to  Rome,  the 
centurion  delivered  the  prisoners  to  the 
captain  of  the  guard:  but  Paul  was  suf- 
fered to  dwell  by  himself  with  a  soldier 
that  kept  him. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  after  three 
days  Paul  called  the  chief  of  the  Jews 
together:  and  when  they  were  come  to- 
gether, he  said  unto  them,  Men  and 
brethren,  though  I  have  committed 
nothing  against  the  people,  or  customs  of 
our  fathers,  yet  was  I  delivered  prisoner 
from  Jerusalem  into  the  hands  of  the  Ro- 
mans. 

18  Who,  when  they  had  examined  me, 
would  have  let  me  go,  because  there  was 
no  cause  of  death  in  me. 

19  But  when  the  Jews  spake  against  it, 
I  was  constrained  to  appeal  unto  Caesar; 
not  that  I  had  ought  to  accuse  my  nation 
of. 

20  For  this  cause  therefore  have  I 
called  for  you,  to  see  you,  and  to  speak 
with  you:  because  that  for  the  hope  of 
Israel  I  am  bound  with  this  chain. 

21  And  they  said  unto  him,  We  neither 
received  letters  out  of  Judaea  concerning 
thee,  neither  any  of  the  brethren  that 
came  shewed  or  spake  any  harm  of  thee. 

22  But  we  desire  to  hear  of  thee  what 
thou  thinkest :  for  as  concerning  this  sect, 
we  know  that  every  where  it  is  spoken 
against. 

23  And  when  they  had  appointed  him  a

on  him  healed  him.  9  And  when 
this  was  done,  the  rest  -also  which 
had  diseases  in  the  island  came, 
and  were  cured :  10  who  also  hon- 
oured us  with  many  honours ;  and 
when  we  sailed,  they  put  on  board 
such  things  as  we  needed. 

II  And  after  three  months  we  set 
sail  in  a  ship  of  Alexandria,  which 
had  wintered  in  the  island,  whose 
sign  was  The  Twin  .  Brothers. 
12  And  touching  at  Syracuse,  we 
tarried  there  three  days.  13  And 
from  thence  we  made  a  circuit, 
and  arrived  at  Rhegium :  and  after 
one  day  a  south  wind  sprang  up, 
and  on  the  second  day  we  came  to 
Puteoli :  14  where  we  found  breth- 
ren, and  were  intreated  to  tarry 
with  them  seven  days :  and  so  we 
came  to  Rome.  15  And  from  thence 
the  brethren,  when  they  heard  of 
us,  came  to  meet  us  as  far  as  The 
Market  of  Appius,  and  The  Three 
Taverns :  whom  when  Paul  saw, 
he  thanked  God,  and  took  cour- 
age. 

16  And  when  we  entered  into 
Rome,  Paul  was  suffered  to  abide 
by  himself  with  the  soldier  that 
guarded  him. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  after 
three  days  he  called  together  those 
that  were  the  chief  of  the  Jews: 
and  when  they  were  come  together, 
he  said  unto  them,  I,  brethren, 
though  I  had  done  nothing  against 
the  people,  or  the  customs  of  our 
fathers,  yet  was  delivered  prisoner 
from  Jerusalem  into  the  hands  of 
the  Romans:  18  who,  when  they 
had  examined  me,  desired  to  set 
me  at  liberty,  because  there  was 
no  cause  of  death  in  me.  19  But 
when  the  Jews  spake  against  it,  I 
was  constrained  to  appeal  unto 
Caesar;  not  that  I  had  aught  to 
accuse  my  nation  of.  20  For  this 
cause  therefore  did  I  intreat  you 
to  see  and  to  speak  with  me:  for

we  desire  to  hear  of  thee  what  thou

when  this  was  done,  the  rest  also 
that  had  diseases  in  the  island  came,

And  from  thence  we  made  a  cir-

after  one  day  a  south  wind  sprang 
up,  and  on  the  second  day  we  came 
to  Puteoli;  14  where  we  found 
brethren,  and  were  entreated  to

18  who,  when  they  had  examined

not  that  I  had  aught  whereof  to

But  we  desire  to  hear  of  thee  what 


eases     in     the     island,    came    and    were 
healed : 

10  Who  also  honoured  us  with  many 
honours,  and  when  we  were  to  set  sail, 
they  laded  us  with  such  things  as  were 
necessary. 

11  And  after  three  months,  we  sailed 
in  a  ship  of  Alexandria,  that  had  win- 
tered in  the  island,  whose  sign  was  the 
Castors. 

12  And  when  we  were  come  to  Syra- 
cusa,  we  tarried  there  three  days. 

13  From  thence,  compassing  by  the 
shore,  we  came  to  Rhegium:  and  after 
one  day,  the  south  wind  blowing,  we 
came  the  second  day  to  Puteoli ; 

14  Where,  finding  brethren,  we  were 
desired  to  tarry  with  them  seven  days : 
and  so  we  went  to  Rome. 

15  And  from  thence,  when  the  breth- 
ren had  heard  of  us,  they  came  to  meet 
us  as  far  as  Appii  Forum,  and  the  Three 
Taverns :  whom  when  Paul  saw,  he  gave 
thanks  to  God,  and  took  courage. 

16  And  when  we  were  come  to  Rome, 
Paul  was  suffered  to  dwell  by  himself, 
with  a  soldier  that  kept  him. 

17  And  after  the  third  day,  he  called 
together  the  chief  of  the  Jews.  And 
when  they  were  assembled,  he  said  to 
them :  Men,  brethren,  I,  having  done 
nothing  against  the  people,  or  the  cus- 
tom of  our  fathers,  was  delivered  pris- 
oner from  Jerusalem  into  the  hands  of 
the  Romans ; 

18  Who,  when  they  had  examined  me, 
would  have  released  me,  for  that  there 
was  no  cause  of  death  in  me ; 

19  But  the  Jews  contradicting  it,  I  was 
constrained  to  appeal  unto  Csesar;  not 
that  I  had  any  thing  to  accuse  my  na- 
tion of. 

20  For  this  cause  therefore  I  desired  to 
see  you,  and  to  speak  to  you.  Because 
that  for  the  hope  of  Israel,  I  am  bound 
with  this  chain. 

21  But  they  said  to  him:  We  neither 
received  letters  concerning  thee  from 
Judea,  neither  did  any  of  the  brethren 
that  came  hither,  relate  or  speak  any  evil 
of  thee. 

22  But  we  desire  to  hear  of  thee  what 
thou  thinkest ;  for  as  concerning  this  sect, 
we  know  that  it  is  every  where  con- 
tradicted. 

23  And  when  they  had  appointed  him  a 
day,  there  came  very  many  to  him  unto 
his  lodgings;  to  whom  he  expounded, 
testifying  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  per-

testified  the  kingdom  of  God,  persuading 
them  concerning  Jesus,  both  out  of  the 
law  of  Moses,  and  out  of  the  prophets, 
from  morning  till  evening. 

24  And  some  believed  the  things  which 
were  spoken,  and  some  believed  not. 

25  And  when  they  agreed  not  among 
themselves,  they  departed,  after  that  Paul 
had  spoken  one  word.  Well  spake  the 
Holy  Ghost  by  Esaias  the  prophet  unto 
our  fathers, 

26  Saying,  Go  unto  this  people,  and  say. 
Hearing  ye  shall  hear,  and  shall  not  un- 
derstand ;  and  seeing  ye  shall  see,  and 
not  perceive : 

27  For  the  heart  of  this  people  is 
waxed  gross,  and  their  ears  are  dull  of 
hearing,  and  their  eyes  have  they  closed ; 
lest  they  should  see  with  their  eyes,  and 
hear  with  their  ears,  and  understand  with 
their  heart,  and  should  be  converted,  and 
I  should  heal  them. 

28  Be  it  known  therefore  unto  you, 
that  the  salvation  of  God  is  sent  unto 
the  Gentiles,  and  that  they  will  hear  it. 

29  And  when  he  had  said  these  words, 
the  Jews  departed,  and  had  great  reason- 
ing among  themselves. 

30  And  Paul  dwelt  two  whole  years  in 
his  own  hired  house,  and  received  all  that 
came  in  unto  him,

teaching  those  things  which  concern  the

his  lodging  in  great  number;  to

and  persuading  them  concerning 
Jesus,  both  from  the  law  of  Moses 
and  from  the  prophets,  from  morn-

lieved the  things  which  were  spo- 
ken, and  some  disbelieved.  25  And 
when  they  agreed  not  among  them- 
selves, they  departed,  after  that 
Paul  had  spoken  one  word.  Well 
spake  the  Holy  Ghost  by  Isaiah 
the    prophet    unto    your     fathers, 

26  saying. 

Go  thou  unto  this  people,   and 

say, 
By   hearing  ye   shall   hear,   and 

shall  in  no  wise  understand ; 
And    seeing    ye    shall    see,    and 

shall  in  no  wise  perceive: 

27  For  this  people's  heart  is  waxed 

gross. 
And  their  ears  are  dull  of  hear- 
ing, 
And  their  eyes  they  have  closed ; 
Lest  haply  they  should  perceive 

with  their  eyes, 
And  hear  with  their  ears, 
And  understand  with  their  heart. 
And  should  turn  again, 
And  I  should  heal  them. 

28  Be  it  known  therefore  unto 
you,  that  this  salvation  of  God  is 
sent  unto  the  Gentiles :  they  will 
also  hear.

CHAPTER  I. 

PAUL,  a  servant  of  Jesus  Christ,  called 
to  be  an  apostle,  separated  unto  the 
gospel  of  God, 

2  (Which  he  had  promised  afore  by 
his  prophets  in  the  holy  scriptures,) 

3  Concerning  his  Son  Jesus  Christ  our 
Lord,  which  was  made  of  the  seed  of 
David  according  to  the  flesh ; 

4  And  declared  to  be  the  Son  of  God 
with  power,  according  to  the  spirit  of 
holiness,  by  the  resurrection  from  the 
dead: 

5  By  whom  we  have  received  grace 
and  apostleship,  for  obedience  to  the  faith 
among  all  nations,  for  his  name : 

6  Among  whom  are  ye  also  the  called 
of  Jesus  Christ : 

7  To  all  that  be  in  Rome,  beloved  of 
God,  called  to  be  saints:  Grace  to  you 
and  peace  from  God  our  Father,  and  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

8  First,  I  thank  my  God  through  Jesus 
Christ  for  you  all,  that  your  faith  is 
spoken  of  throughout  the  whole  world. 

9  For  God  is  my  witness,  whom  I  serve 
with  my  spirit  in  the  gospel  of  his  Son, 
that  without  ceasing  I  make  mention  of 
you  always  in  my  prayers; 

10  Making  request,  if  by  any  means 
now  at  length  I  might  have  a  prosperous 
journey  by  the  will  of  God  to  come  unto 
you. 

11  For  I  long  to  see  you,  that  I  may 
impart  unto  you  some  spiritual  gift,  to 
the  end  ye  may  be  established ; 

12  That  is,  that  I  may  be  comforted 
together  with  you  by  the  mutual  faith 
both  of  you  and  me. 

13  Now  I  would  not  have  you  ig- 
norant, brethren,  that  oftentimes  I  pur- 
posed to  come  unto  you,  (but  was  let 
hitherto,)  that  I  might  have  some  fruit 
among  you  also,  even  as  among  other 
Gentiles. 

14  I  am  debtor  both  to  the  Greeks, 
and  to  the  Barbarians ;  both  to  the  wise, 
and  to  the  unwise. 

15  So,  as  much  as  in  me  is,  I  am  ready 
to  preach  the  gospel  to  you  that  are  at 
Rome  also.

faith  is  proclaimed  throughout  the 
whole  world.  9  For  God  is  my 
witness,  whom  I  serve  in  my  spirit 
in  the  gospel  of  his  Son,  how  un- 
ceasingly I  make  mention  of  you, 
10  always  in  my  prayers  making  re- 
quest, if  by  any  means  now  at 
length  I  may  be  prospered  by  the 
will  of  God  to  come  unto  you.  11 
For  I  long  to  see  you,  that  I  may 
impart  unto  you  some  spiritual 
gift,  to  the  end  ye  may  be  estab- 
lished ;  12  that  is,  that  I  with  you 
may  be  comforted  in  you,  each  of 
us  by  the  other's  faith,  both  yours 
and  mine.  13  And  I  would  not 
have  you  ignorant,  brethren,  that 
oftentimes  I  purposed  to  come  unto 
you  (and  was  hindered  hitherto), 
that  I  might  have  some  fruit  in  you 
also,  even  as  in  the  rest  of  the 
Gentiles.  14  I  am  debtor  both  to 
Greeks  and  to  Barbarians,  both  to 
the  wise  and  to  the  foolish.  15  So, 
as  much  as  in  me  is,  I  am  ready  to 
preach  the  gospel  to  you  also  that 
are  in  Rome.  16  For  I  am  not

whole  world.  9  For  God  is  my 
witness,  whom  I  serve  in  my  spirit 
in  the  gospel  of  his  Son,  how  un- 
ceasingly I  make  mention  of  you, 
always  in  my  prayers  10  making 
request,  if  by  any  means  now  at 
length  I  may  be  prospered  by  the 
will    of    God    to    come    unto    you. 

11  For  I  long  to  see  you,  that  I  may 
impart  unto  you  some  spiritual  gift, 
to  the  end  ye  may  be  established; 

12  that  is,  that  I  with  you  may  be 
comforted  in  you,  each  of  us  by 
the  other's  faith,  both  yours  and 
mine.  13  And  I  would  not  have  you 
ignorant,  brethren,  that  oftentimes 
I  purposed  to  come  unto  you  (and 
was  hindered  hitherto),  that  I 
might  have  some  fruit  in  you  also, 
even  as  in  the  rest  of  the  Gentiles. 
14  I  am  debtor  both  to  Greeks  and 
to  Barbarians,  both  to  the  wise  and 
to  the  foolish.  15  So,  as  much  as 
in  me  is,  I  am  ready  to  preach  the 
gospel  to  you  also  that  are  in 
Rome. 

16  For  I  am  not  ashamed  of  the 
gospel :  for  it  is  the  power  of  God 


CHAPTER  I. 

PAUL,  a  servant  of  Jesus  Christ,  called 
to  be  a.n  apostle,  separated  unto  the 
gospel  of  God, 

2  Which  he  had  promised  before,  by  his 
prophets,  in  the  holy  scriptures, 

3  Concerning  his  Son,  who  was  made  to 
him  of  the  seed  of  David,  according  to 
the  flesh, 

4  Who  was  predestinated  the  Son  of 
God  in  power,  according  to  the  spirit  of 
sanctification,  by  the  resurrection  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ  from  the  dead; 

5  By  whom  we  have  received  grace  and 
apostleship  for  obedience  to  the  faith,  in 
all  nations,  for  his  name; 

6  Among  whom  are  you  also  the  called 
of  Jesus  Christ: 

7  To  all  that  are  at  Rome,  the  beloved 
of  God,  called  to  be  saints.  Grace  to  you, 
and  peace  from  God  our  Father,  and 
from  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

8  First  I  give  thanks  to  my  God, 
through  Jesus  Christ,  for  you  all,  because 
your  faith  is  spoken  of  in  the  whole 
world. 

9  For  God  is  my  witness,  whom  I  serve 
in  my  spirit  in  the  gospel  of  his  Son, 
that  without  ceasing  I  make  a  commem- 
oration of  you ; 

10  Always  in  my  prayers  making  re- 
quest, if  by  any  means  now  at  length  I 
may  have  a  prosperous  journey,  by  the 
will  of  God,  to  come  unto  you. 

11  For  I  long  to  see  you,  that  I  may  im- 
part unto  you  some  spiritual  grace,  to 
strengthen  you: 

12  That  is  to  say,  that  I  may  be  com- 
forted together  in  you,  by  that  which 
is  common  to  us  both,  your  faith  and 
mine. 

13  And  I  would  not  have  you  ignorant, 
brethren,  that  I  have  often  purposed  to 
come  unto  yon,  (and  have  been  hindered 
hitherto,)  that  I  might  have  some  fruit 
among  you  also,  even  as  among  other 
Gentiles. 

14  To  the  Greeks  and  to  the  barbarians, 
to  the  wise  and  to  the  unwise,  I  am  a 
debtor ; 

15  So    (as  much  as  is  in   me)    I  am

i6  For  I  am  not  ashamed  of  the  gospel 
of  Christ:  for  it  is  the  power  of  God  unto 
salvation  to  every  one  that  believeth;  to 
the  Jew  first,  and  also  to  the  Greek. 

17  For  therein  is  the  righteousness  of 
God  revealed  from  faith  to  faith :  as  it  is 
written,  The  just  shall  live  by  faith. 

18  For  the  wrath  of  God  is  revealed 
from  heaven  against  all  ungodliness  and 
unrighteousness  of  men,  who  hold  the 
truth  in  unrighteousness; 

19  Because  that  which  may  be  known 
of  God  is  manifest  in  them;  for  God 
hath  shewed  it  unto  them, 

20  For  the  invisible  things  of  him  from 
the  creation  of  the  world  are  clearly  seen, 
being  understood  by  the  things  that  are 
made,  even  his  eternal  power  and  God- 
head ;  so  that  they  are  without  excuse : 

21  Because  that,  when  they  knew  God, 
they  glorified  him  not  as  God,  neither 
were  thankful ;  but  became  vain  in  their 
imaginations,  and  their  foolish  heart  was 
darkened, 

22  Professing  themselves  to  be  wise, 
they  became  fools,  ♦ 

23  And  changed  the  glory  of  the  un- 
corruptible God  into  an  image  made  like 
to  corruptible  man,  and  to  birds,  and 
fourfooted  beasts,  and  creeping  things. 

24  Wherefore  God  also  gave  them  up 
to  uncleanness  through  the  lusts  of  their 
own  hearts,  to  dishonour  their  own  bodies 
between  themselves : 

25  Who  changed  the  truth  of  God  into 
a  lie,  and  worshipped  and  served  the 
creature  more  than  the  Creator,  who  is 
blessed  for  ever.     Amen. 

26  For  this  cause  God  gave  them  up 
unto  vile  affections :  for  even  their 
women  did  change  the  natural  use  into 
that  which  is  against  nature : 

27  And  likewise  also  the  men,  leaving 
the  natural  use  of  the  woman,  burned  in 
their  lust  one  toward  another ;  men  with 
men  working  that  which  is  unseemly,  and 
receiving  in  themselves  that  recompence 
of  their  error  which  was  meet. 

28  And  even  as  they  did  not  like  to 
retain  God  in  their  knowledge,  God  gave 
them  over  to  a  reprobate  mind,  to  do 
those  things  which  are  not. convenient ; 

29  Being  filled  with  all  unrighteous- 
ness, fornication,  wickedness,  covetous- 
ness,  maliciousness;  full  of  envy,  murder, 
debate,   deceit,    malignity;   whisperers,

things,  disobedient  to  parents, 


the  power  of  God  unto  salvation 
to  every  one  that  believeth ;  to  the 
Jew  first,  and  also  to  the  Greek. 
17  For  therein  is  revealed  a  right- 
eousness of  God  by  faith  unto 
faith :  as  it  is  written.  But  the 
righteous   shall   live   by   faith. 

18  For  the  wrath  of  God  is 
revealed  from  heaven  against  all 
ungodliness  and  unrighteousness  of 
men,  who  hold  down  the  truth  in 
unrighteousness;  19  because  that 
which  may  be  known  of  God  is 
manifest  in  them;  for  God  mani- 
fested it  unto  them.  20  For  the  in- 
visible things  of  him  since  the  crea- 
tion of  the  world  are  clearly  seen, 
being  perceived  through  the  things 
that  are  made,  even  his  everlast- 
ing power  and  divinity ;  that  they 
may  be  without  excuse :  21  because 
that,  knowing  God,  they  glorified 
him  not  as  God,  neither  gave 
thanks;  but  became  vain  in  their 
reasonings,  and  their  senseless  heart 
was  darkened.  22  Professing  them- 
selves to  be  wise,  they  became  fools, 
23  and  changed  the  glory  of  the 
incorruptible  God  for  the  likeness 
of  an  image  of  corruptible  man, 
and  of  birds,  and  fourfooted  beasts, 
and  creeping  things. 

24  Wherefore  God  gave  them  up 
in  the  lusts  of  their  hearts  unto  un- 
cleanness, that  their  bodies  should 
be  dishonoured  among  themselves: 
25  for  that  they  exchanged  the  truth 
of  God  for  a  lie,  and  worshipped 
and  served  the  creature  rather  than 
the  Creator,  who  is  blessed  for 
ever.     Amen. 

26  For  this  cause  God  gave  ihem

therein,  from  faith  unto  faith,  as 
it  is  written :  The  just  man  liveth  by

18  For  the  wrath  of  God  is  revealed 
from  heaven  against  all  ungodliness  and 
injustice  of  those  men  that  detain  the 
truth  of  God  in  injustice: 

19  Because  that  which  is  known  of  God 
is  manifest  in  them.  For  God  hath  man-

20  For  the  invisible  things  of  him,  from

seen,  being  understood  by  the  things  that 
are  made;  his  eternal  power  also,  and

21  Because  that,  when  they  knew  God, 
they  have  not  glorified  him  as  God,  or 
given  thanks;  but  became  vain  in  their

26  For  this  cause  God  delivered  them 
up  to  shameful  affections.  For  their 
women  have  changed  the  natural  use  into

also  that  consent  to  them  that  do  them. 

CHAPTER  2. 

WHEREFORE  thou  art  inexcusable, 
O  man,  whosoever  thou  art  that 
judgest.  For  wherein  thou  judgest  an- 
other, thou  condemnest  thyself.  For 
thou  dost  the  same  things  which  thou 
judgest. 

2  For  we  know  that  the  judgment  of 
God  is,  according  to  truth,  against  them 
that  do  such  things. 

3  And  thinkest  thou  this,  O  man,  that 
judgest  them  who  do  such  things,  and 
dost  the  same,  that  thou  shalt  escape  the 
judgment  of  God? 

4  Or  despisest  thou  the  riches  of  his 
goodness,  and  patience,  and  longsuffer- 
ing? Knowest  thou  not,  that  the  be- 
nignity of  God  leadeth  thee  to  penance? 

5  But  according  to  thy  hardness  and  im- 
penitent heart,  thou  treasurest  up  to  thy- 
self wrath,  against  the  day  of  wrath,  and 
revelation  of  the  just  judgment  of  God. 

6  Who  will  render  to  every  man  ac- 
cording to  his  works. 

7  To  them  indeed,  who  according  to 
patience  in  good  work,  seek  glory  and 
honour  and  incorruption,  eternal  life: 

8  But  to  them  that  are  contentious,  and 
who  obey  not  the  truth,  but  give  credit 
to  iniquity,  wrath  and  indignation. 

9  Tribulation  and  anguish  upon  every 
soul  of  man  that  worketh  evil,  of  the 
Jew  first,  and  also  of  the  Greek: 

10  But  glory,  and  honour,  and  peace  to 
every  one  that  worketh  good,  to  the  Jew 
first,  and  also  to  the  Greek. 

11  For  there  is  no  respect  of  persons 
with  God. 

12  For  whosoever  have  sinned  without 
the  law,  shall  perish  without  the  law; 
and  whosoever  have  sinned  in  the  law, 
shall  be  judged  by  the  law. 

13  For  not  the  hearers  of  the  law  are 
just  before  God,  but  the  doers  of  the  law 
shall  be  justified.

14  For  when  the  Gentiles,  which  have

18  And  knowest  his  will,  and  approvest

instructed  out  of  the  law ; 

19  And  art  confident  that  thou  thyself 
art  a  guide  of  the  blind,  a  light  of  them 
which  are  in  darkness, 

20  An  instructor  of  the  foolish,  a 
teacher  of  babes,  which  hast  the  form 
of  knowledge  and  of  the  truth  in  the  law. 

21  Thou  therefore  which  teachest  an- 
other, teachest  thou  not  thyself?  thou 
that  preachest  a  man  should  not  steal, 
dost  thou  steal? 

22  Thou  that  sayest  a  man  should  not 
commit  adultery,  dost  thou  commit 
adultery?  thou  that  abhorrest  idols,  dost 
thou  commit  sacrilege? 

23  Thou  that  makest  thy  boast  of  the 
law,  through  breaking  the  law  dishon- 
ourest  thou  God? 

24  For  the  name  of  God  is  blasphemed 
among  the  Gentiles  through  you,  as  it  is 
written. 

25  For  circumcision  verily  profiteth,  if 
thou  keep  the  law:  but  if  thou  be  a 
breaker  of  the  law,  thy  circumcision  is 
made  uncircumcision. 

26  Therefore  if  the  uncircumcision  keep 
the  righteousness  of  the  law,  shall  not  his 
uncircumcision  be  counted  for  circum- 
cision? 

27  And  shall  not  uncircumcision  which 
is  by  nature,  if  it  fulfil  the  law,  judge 
thee,  who  by  the  letter  and  circumcision 
dost  transgress  the  law? 

28  For  he  is  not  a  Jew,  which  is  one 
outwardly;  neither  is  that  circumcision, 
which  is  outward  in  the  flesh : 

29  But  he  is  a  Jew,  which  is  one  in- 
wardly; and  circumcision  is  that  of  the 
heart,  in  the  spirit,  and  not  in  the  letter; 
whose  praise  is  not  of  men,  but  of  God. 


of  a  law  shall  be  justified:  14  for 
when  Gentiles  which  have  no  law 
do  by  nature  the  things  of  the  law, 
these,  having  no  law,  are  a  law  unto 
themselves;  15  in  that  they  shew  the

hearts,  their  conscience  bearing  wit-

one  with  another  accusing  or  else 
excusing  them;  16  in  the  day  when 
God  shall  judge  the  secrets  of  men, 
according  to  my  gospel,  by  Jesus 
Christ. 

17  But  if  thou  bearest  the  name 
of  a  Jew,  and  restest  upon  the  law, 
and  gloriest  in  God,  18  and  knowest

22  thou  that  sayest  a  man  should

WHAT  advantage  then  hath  the  Jew? 
or  what  profit  is  there  of  circum- 
cision? 

2  Much  every  way :  chiefly,  because  that 
unto  them  were  committed  the  oracles  of 
God. 

5  For  what  if  some  did  not  believe? 
shall  their  unbelief  make  the  faith  of  God 
without  effect? 

4  God  forbid :  yea,  let  God  be  -true, 
but  every  man  a  liar;  as  it  is  written, 
That  thou  mightest  be  justified  in  thy 
sayings,  and  mightest  overcome  when 
thou  art  judged. 

5  But  if  our  unrighteousness  commend 
the  righteousness  of  God,  what  shall 
we  say?  Is  God  unrighteous  who  taketh 
vengeance?  (I  speak  as  a  man) 

6  God  forbid:  for  then  how  shall  God 
judge  the  world? 

7  For  if  the  truth  of  God  hath  more 
abounded  through  my  lie  unto  his  glory; 
why  yet  am  I  also  judged  as  a  sinner? 

8  And  not  rather,  (as  we  be  slander- 
ously reported,  and  as  some  affirm  that 
we  say,)  Let  us  do  evil,  that  good  may 
come?  whose  damnation  is  just. 

9  What  then?  are  we  better  than  they? 
No,  in  no  wise :  for  we  have  before 
proved  both  Jews  and  Gentiles,  that  they 
are  all  under  sin; 

10  As  it  is  written.  There  is  none 
righteous,  no,  not  one : 

11  There  is  none  that  understandeth, 
there  is  none  that  seeketh  after  God. 

12  They  are  all  gone  out  of  the  way, 
they  are  together  become  unprofitable; 
there  is  none  that  doeth  good,  no,  not  one. 

13  Their  throat  is  an  open  sepulchre; 
with  their  tongues  they  have  used  deceit ; 
the  poison  of  asps  is  under  their  lips : 

14  Whose  mouth  is  full  of  cursing  and 
bitterness : 

15  Their  feet  are  swift  to  shed  blood: 

16  Destruction  and  misery  are  in  their 
ways: 

17  And  the  way  of  peace  have  they 
not  known : 

18  There  is  no  fear  of  God  before 
their  eyes. 

19  Now  we  know  that  what  things 
soever  the  law  saith,  it  saith  to  them 
who  are  under  the  law :  that  every  mouth 
may  be  stopped,  and  all  the  world  may 
become  guilty  before  God. 

20  Therefore  by  the  deeds  of  the  law

righteous who  visiteth  with  wrath? 
(I  speak  after  the  manner  of  men.)

may  come?  whose  condemnation  is 
just. 

9  What  then?  are  we  in  worse

WHAT  advantage  then  hath  the  Jew, 
or  what  is  the  profit  of  circumci-

2  Much  every  way.  First  indeed,  be-

to  them. 

3  For  what  if  some  of  them  have  not 
believed?  shall  their  unbelief  make  the 
faith  of  God  without  effect?  God  for- 
bid. 

4  But  God  is  true;  and  every  man  a 
liar,  as  it  is  written,  That  thou  mayest 
be  justified  in  thy  words,  and  mayest  over- 
come when  thou  art  judged. 

5  But  if  our  injustice  commend  the 
justice  of  God,  what  shall  we  say?  Is 
God  unjust,  who  executeth  wrath? 

6  (I  speak  according  to  man.)  God 
forbid:  otherwise  how  shall  God  judge 
this  world? 

7  For  if  the  truth  of  God  hath  more

why  am  I  also  yet  judged  as  a  sinner? 

8  And  not  rather  (as  we  are  slandered, 
and  as  some  affirm  that  we  say)  let  us 
do  evil,  that  there  may  come  good  ?  whose

9  What  then  ?  Do  we  excel  them  ?  No, 
not  so.  For  we  have  charged  both  Jews, 
and  Greeks,  that  they  are  all  under  sin. 

10  As  it  is  written:  There  is  not  any

11  There  is  none  that  understandeth,

with  their  tongues  they  have  dealt  deceit- 
fully. The  venom  of  asps  is  under  their 
lips. 

14  Whose  mouth  is  full  of  cursing  and 
bitterness: 

15  Their  feet  swift  to  shed  blood: 

16  Destruction  and  misery  in  their 
ways: 

ly  And  the  way  of  peace  they  have  not 
known: 

18  There  is  no  fear  of  God  before  their 
eyes. 

19  Now  we  know,  that  what  things 
soever  the  law  speaketh,  it  speaketh  to 
them  that  are  in  the  law;  that  every 
mouth  may  be  stopped,  and  all  the  world 
may  be  made  subject  to  God.

sight :   for  by  the  law  is  the  knowledge 
of  sin. 

21  But  now  the  righteousness  of  God 
without  the  law  is  manifested,  being  wit- 
nessed by  the  law  and  the  prophets ; 

22  Even  the  righteousness  of  God 
which  is  by  faith  of  Jesus  Christ  unto 
all  and  upon  all  them  that  believe :  for 
there  is  no  difference : 

23  For  all  have  sinned,  and  come  short 
of  the  glory  of  God; 

24  Being  justified  freely  by  his  grace 
through  the  redemption  that  is  in  Christ 
Jesus : 

25  Whom  God  hath  set  forth  to  be  a 
propitiation  through  faith  in  his  blood,  to 
declare  his  righteousness  for  the  remis- 
sion of  sins  that  are  past,  through  the 
forbearance  of  God ; 

26  To  declare,  /  say,  at  this  time  his 
righteousness:  that  he  might  be  just,  and 
the  justifier  of  him  which  believeth  in 
Jesus. 

27  Where  is  boasting  then?  It  is  ex- 
cluded. By  what  law?  of  works?  Nay: 
but  by  the  law  of  faith. 

28  Therefore  we  conclude  that  a  man 
is  justified  by  faith  without  the  deeds 
of  the  law. 

29  Is  he  the  God  of  the  Jews  only?  is  he 
not  also  of  the  Gentiles?  Yes,  of  the 
Gentiles  also : 

30  Seeing  it  is  one  God,  which  shall 
justify  the  circumcision  by  faith,  and  un- 
circumcision  through  faith. 

31  Do  we  then  make  void  the  law 
through  faith?  God  forbid:  yea,  we 
establish  the  law. 


CHAPTER  4. 

WHAT  shall  we  say  then  that  Abra- 
ham  our    father,   as   pertaining   to 
the  flesh,  hath  found? 

2  For  if  Abraham  were  justified  by 
works,  he  hath  whereof  to  glory;  but  not 
before  God. 

3  For  what  saith  the  scripture?    Abra- 


17  And  the  way  of  peace  have  they 

not  known : 

18  There  is  no  fear  of  God  before 

their  eyes. 
19  Now  we  know  that  what  things 
soever  the  law  saith,  it  speaketh 
to  them  that  are  under  the  law; 
that  every  mouth  may  be  stopped, 
and  all  the  world  may  be  brought 
under  the  judgement  of  God :  20  be- 
cause by  the  works  of  the  law 
shall  no  flesh  be  justified  in  his 
sight :  for  through  the  law  com- 
eth  the  knowledge  of  sin.  21  But 
now  apart  from  the  law  a  right- 
eousness of  God  hath  been  mani- 
fested, being  witnessed  by  the  law 
and  the  prophets ;  22  even  the  right- 
eousness of  God  through  faith  in 
Jesus  Christ  unto  all  them  that 
believe;  for  there  is  no  distinction; 
23  for  all  have  sinned,  and  fall 
short  of  the  glory  of  God ;  24  be- 
ing justified  freely  by  hi,s  grace 
through  the  redemption  that  is  in 
Christ  Jesus :  25  whom  God  set 
forth  to  he  a  propitiation,  through 
faith,  by  his  blood,  to  shew  his 
righteousness,  because  of  the  pass- 
ing over  of  the  sins  done  aforetime, 
in  the  forbearance  of  God ;  26  for 
the  shewing,  /  say,  of  his  right- 
eousness at  this  present  season  :  that 
he  might  himself  be  just,  and  the 
justifier  of  him  that  hath  faith 
in  Jesus.  27  Where  then  is  the 
glorying?  It  is  excluded.  By  what 
manner  of  law?  of  works?  Nay: 
but  by  a  law  of  faith.  28  We 
reckon  therefore  that  a  man  is 
justified  by  faith  apart  from  the 
works  of  the  law.  29  Or  is  God 
the  God  of  Jews  only?  is  he  not  the 
God  of  Gentiles  also?  Yea,  of  Gen- 
tiles also:  30  if  so  be  that  God  is 
one,  and  he  shall  justify  the  cir- 
cumcision by  faith,  and  the  uncir- 
cumcision  through  faith.  31  Do  we 
then  make  the  law  of  none  effect 
through  faith  ?  God  forbid  :  nay,  we 
establish  the  law. 

TITHAT  then  shall  we  say  that 
4  ▼  T  Abraham,  our  forefather 
according  to  the  flesh,  hath  found? 
2  For  if  Abraham  was  justified  by 
works,  he  hath  whereof  to  glory; 
but  not  toward  God.  3  For  what 
saith  the  scripture?    And  Abraham

17  And  the  way  of  peace  have  they 

not  known : 

18  There  is  no  fear  of  God  before 

their  eyes. 

19-  Now  we  know  that  what 
things  soever  the  law  saith,  it 
speaketh  to  them  that  are  under 
the  law ;  that  every  mouth  may  be 
stopped,  and  all  the  world  may  be 
brought  under  the  judgment  of 
God :  20  because  by  the  works  of 
the  law  shall  no  flesh  be  justified 
in  his  sight ;  for  through  the  law 
Cometh  the  knowledge  of  sin. 

21  But  now  apart  from  the  law 
a  righteousness  of  God  hath  been 
manifested,  being  witnessed  by  the 
law  and  the  prophets ;  22  even  the 
righteousness  of  God  through  faith 
in  Jesus  Christ  unto  all  them  that 
believe ;  for  there  is  no  distinction ; 
23  for  all  have  sinned,  and  fall 
short  of  the  glory  of  God ;  24  be- 
ing justified  freely  by  his  grace 
through  the  redemption  that  is  in 
Christ  Jesus :  25  whom  God  set 
forth  to  be  a  propitiation,  through 
faith,  in  his  blood,  to  show  his 
righteousness  because  of  the  pass- 
ing over  of  the  sins  done  afore- 
time, in  the  forbearance  of  God ; 
26  for  the  showing,  /  say,  of  his 
righteousness  at  this  present  sea- 
son :  that  he  might  himself  be  just, 
and  the  justifier  of  him  that  hath 
faith  in  Jesus.  27  Where  then  is 
the  glorying?  It  is  excluded.  By 
what  manner  of  law?  of  works? 
Nay :  but  by  a  law  of  faith.  28 
We  reckon  therefore  that  a  man  is 
justified  by  faith  apart  from  the 
works  of  the  law.  29  Or  is  God 
the  God  of  Jews  only?  is  he  not 
the  God  of  Gentiles  also?  Yea,  of 
Gentiles  also:  30  if  so  be  that  God 
is  one,  and  he  shall  justify  the  cir- 
cumcision by  faith,  and  the  uncir- 
cumcision   through    faith. 

31  Do  we  then  make  the  law  of 
none  effect  through  faith?  God 
forbid:  na}^  we  establish  the  law. 

XT/' HAT  then  shall  we  say  that 
4  V  T  Abraham,  our  forefather, 
hath  found  according  to  the  flesh? 
2  For  if  Abraham  was  justified  by 
works,  he  hath  whereof  to  glory ; 
but  not  toward  God.  3  For  what 
saith  the  scripture?    And  Abraham 


flesh  shall  be  justified  before  him.     For 
by  the  law  is  the  knowledge  of  sin. 

21  But  now  without  the  law  the  justice 
of  God  is  made  manifest,  being  witnessed 
by  the  law  and  the  prophets. 

22  Even  the  justice  of  God,  by  faith  of 
Jesus  Christ,  unto  all  and  upon  all  them 
that  believe  in  him :  for  there  is  no  dis- 
tinction : 

23  For  all  have  sinned,  and  do  need  the 
glory  of  God. 

24  Being  justified  freely  by  his  grace, 
through  the  redemption,  that  is  in  Christ 
Jesus, 

25  Whom  God  hath  proposed  to  be  a 
propitiation,  through  faith  in  his  blood, 
to  the  shewing  of  his  justice,  for  the  re- 
mission of  former  sins, 

26  Through  the  forbearance  of  God,  for 
the  shewing  of  his  justice  in  this  time; 
that  he  himself  may  be  just,  and  the 
justifier  of  him,  who  is  of  the  faith  of 
Jesus  Christ. 

27  Where  is  then  thy  boasting?  It  is 
excluded.  By  what  law?  Of  works? 
No,  but  by  the  law  of  faith. 

28  For  we  account  a  man  to  be  justified 
by  faith,  without  the  works  of  the  law. 

29  Is  he  the  God  of  the  Jews  only?  Is 
he  not  also  of  the  Gentiles?  Yes,  of  the 
Gentiles  also. 

30  For  it  is  one  God,  that  justifieth  cir- 
cumcision by  faith,  and  uncircumcision 
through  faith. 

31  Do  we,  then,  destroy  the  law  through 
faith?  God  forbid:  but  we  establish  the 
law. 


CHAPTER  4- 

WHAT  shall  we  say  then  that  Abra-

ham   believed   God,   and   it   was   counted 
unto  him  for  righteousness. 

4  Now  to  him  that  worketh  is  the  re- 
ward not  reckoned  of  grace,  but  of  debt. 

5  But  to  him  that  worketh  not,  but 
believeth  on  him  that  justifieth  the  un- 
godly, his  faith  is  counted  for  righteous- 
ness. 

6  Even  as  David  also  describeth  the 
blessedness  of  the  man,  unto  whom  God 
imputeth  righteousness  without  works, 

7  Saying,  Blessed  are  they  whose 
iniquities  are  forgiven,  and  whose  sins 
are  covered. 

8  Blessed  is  the  man  to  whom  the  Lord 
will  not  impute  sin. 

9  Cometh  this  blessedness  then  upon 
the  circumcision  only,  or  upon  the  uncir- 
cumcision  also?  for  we  say  that  faith  was 
reckoned  to  Abraham   for  righteousness. 

ID  How  was  it  then  reckoned?  when 
he  was  in  circumcision,  or  in  uncircumci- 
sion?  Not  in  circumcision,  but  in  uncir- 
cumcision. 

11  And  he  received  the  sign  of  circum- 
cision, a  seal  of  the  righteousness  of  the 
faith  which  he  had  yet  being  uncircum- 
cised:  that  he  might  be  the  father  of  all 
them  that  believe,  though  they'  be  not  cir- 
cumcised;  that  righteousness  might  be 
imputed  unto  them  also: 

12  And  the  father  of  circumcision  to 
them  who  are  not  of  the  circumcision 
oi^ly,  but  who  also  walk  in  the  steps  of 
that  faith  of  our  father  Abraham,  which 
he  had  being  yet  uncircumcised. 

13  For  the  promise,  that  he  should  be 
the  heir  of  the  world,  was  not  to  Abra- 
ham, or  to  his  seed,  through  the  law,  but 
through  the  righteousness  of  faith. 

14  For  if  they  which  are  of  the  law  be 
heirs,  faith  is  made  void,  and  the  prom- 
ise made  of  none  effect: 

15  Because  the  law  worketh  wrath:  for 
where  no  law  is,  there  is  no  trans- 
gression. 

16  Therefore  it  is  of  faith,  that  it 
might  be  by  grace;  to  the  end  the  prom- 
ise might  be  sure  to  all  the  seed ;  not  to 
that  only  which  is  of  the  law,  but  to 
that  also  which  is  of  the  faith  of  Abra- 
ham; who  is  the  father  of  us  all, 

17  (As  it  is  written,  I  have  made  thee 
a  father  of  many  nations,)  before  him 
whom  he  believed,  even  God,  who  quick- 
eneth  the  dead,  and  calleth  those  things 
which  be  not  as  though  they  were. 

18  Who  against  hope  believed  in  hope, 
that  he  might  become  the  father  of  many 


lelieved  God,  and  it  was  reckoned 
unto  him  for  righteousness.  4  Now 
to  him  that  worketh,  the  reward 
is  not  reckoned  as  of  grace,  but  as 
of  debt.  5  But  to  him  that  work- 
eth not,  but  believeth  on  him  that 
justifieth  the  ungodly,  his  faith  is 
reckoned  for  righteousness.  6  Even 
as  David  also  pronounceth  bless- 
ing upon  the  man,  unto  whom  God 
reckoneth  righteousness  apart  from 
works,  7  saying, 

.  Blessed  are  they  whose  iniquities 

are  forgiven. 
And  whose  sins  are  covered. 
8  Blessed  is  the  man  to  whom  the 
Lord  will  not  reckon  sin. 
9  Is  this  blessing  then  pronounced 
upon  the  circumcision,  or  upon  the 
uncircumcrsion  also?  for  we  say, 
To  Abraham  his  faith  was  reckoned 
for  righteousness.  10  How  then 
was  it  reckoned?  when  he  was  in 
circumcision,  or  in  uncircumcision  ? 
Not  in  circumcision,  but  in  uncir- 
cumcision :  II  and  he  received  the 
sign  of  circumcision,  a  seal  of  the 
righteousness  of  the  faith  which  he 
had  while  he  was  in  uncircumcision : 
that  he  might  be  the  father  of  all 
them  that  believe,  though  they  be 
in  uncircumcision,  that  righteous- 
ness might  be  reckoned  unto  them ; 
12  and  the  father  of  circumcision  to 
them  who  not  only  are  of  the  cir- 
cumcision, but  who  also  walk  in 
the  steps  of  that  faith  of  our  father 
Abraham  which  he  had  in  uncir- 
cumcision. 13  For  not  through  the 
law  was  the  promise  to  Abraham 
or  to  his  seed,  that  he  should  be 
heir  of  the  world,  but  through  the 
righteousness  of  faith.  14  For  if 
they  which  are  of  the  law  be  heirs, 
faith  is  made  void,  and  the  promise 
is  made  of  none  effect:  15  for  the 
law  worketh  wrath ;  but  where 
there  is  no  law,  neither  is  there 
transgression.  16  For  this  cause  it 
is  of  faith,  that  it  may  be  accord- 
ing to  grace ;  to  the  end  that  the 
promise  may  be  sure  to  all  the 
seed ;  not  to  that  only  which  is  of 
the  law,  but  to  that  also  which  is  of 
the  faith  of  Abraham,  who  is  the 
father  of  us  all  17  (as  it  is  written, 
A  father  of  many  nations  have  I 
made  thee)  before  him  whom  he 
believed,   even   God,   who   quicken-

believed  God,  and  it  was  reckoned 
unto  him  for  righteousness.  4  Now 
to  him  that  worketh,  the  reward  is 
not  reckoned  as  of  grace,  but  as  of 
debt.  5  But  to  him  that  worketh 
not,  but  beUeveth  on  him  that  justi- 
fieth  the  ungodly,  his  faith  is  reck- 
oned for  righteousness.  6  Even  as 
David  also  pronounceth  blessing 
upon  the  man,  unto  whom  God 
reckoneth  righteousness  apart  from 
works,  7  saying. 

Blessed  are  they  whose  iniquities 
are  forgiven, 

And  whose  sins  are  covered. 
8  Blessed  is  the  man  to  whom  the 
Lord  will  not  reckon  sin. 
9  Is  this  blessing  then  pronounced 
upon  the  circumcision,  or  upon 
the  uncircumcision  also?  for  we 
say,  To  Abraham  his  faith  was 
reckoned  for  righteousness.  10 
How  then  was  it  reckoned?  when 
he  was  in  circumcision,  or  in  un- 
circumcision? Not  in  circumcision, 
but  in  uncircumcision:  11  and  he 
received  the  sign  of  circumcision,  a 
seal  of  the  righteousness  of  the 
faith  which  he  had  while  he  was  in 
uncircumcision:  that  he  might  be 
the  father  of  all  them  that  believe, 
though  they  be  in  uncircumcision, 
that  righteousness  might  be  reck- 
oned unto  them;  12  and  the  father 
of  circumcision  to  them  who  not 
only  are  of  the  circumcision,  but 
who  also  walk  in  the  steps  of  that 
faith  of  our  father  Abraham  which 
he  had  in  uncircumcision.  13  For 
not  through  the  law  was  the  prom- 
ise to  Abraham  or  to  his  seed  that 
he  should  be  heir  of  the  world,  but 
through  the  righteousness  of  faith. 

14  For  if  they  that  are  of  the  law 
are  heirs,  faith  is  made  void,  and 
the  promise  is  made  of  none  effect : 

15  for  the  law  worketh  wrath;  but 
where  there  is  no  law,  neither  is 
there  transgression.  16  For  this 
cause  it  is  of  faith,  that  it  may  be 
according  to  grace;  to  the  end  that 
the  promise  may  be  sure  to  all  the 
seed;  not  to  that  only  which  is  of 
the  law,  but  to  that  also  which  is 
of  the  faith  of  Abraham,  who  is 
the  father  of  us  all  17  (as  it  is 
written,  A  father  of  many  nations 
have  I  made  thee)  before  him 
whom  he  believed,  even  God,  who 


ham  believed  God,  and  it  was  reputed  to 
him  unto  justice. 

4  Now  to  him  that  worketh,  the  re- 
ward is  not  reckoned  according  to  grace, 
but  according  to  debt. 

5  But  to  him  that  worketh  not,  yet  be- 
lieveth  in  him  that  justifieth  the  ungodly, 
his  faith  is  reputed  to  justice,  according 
to  the  purpose  of  the  grace  of  God. 

6  As  David  also  termeth  the  blessed- 
ness of  a  man,  to  whom  God  reputeth 
justice  without  works: 

7  Blessed  are  they  whose  iniquities  are 
forgiven,  and  whose  sins  are  covered. 

8  Blessed  is  the  man  to  whom  the  Lord 
hath  not  imputed  sin. 

9  This  blessedness  then,  doth  it  remain 
in  the  circumcision  only,  or  in  the  uncir- 
cumcision also?  For  we  say  that  unto 
Abraham  faith  was  reputed  to  justice. 

10  How  then  was  it  reputed?  When  he 
was  in  circumcision,  or  in  uncircumci- 
sion? Not  in  circumcision,  but  in  uncir- 
cumcision. 

11  And  he  received  the  sign  of  circum- 
cision, a  seal  of  the  justice  of  the  faith, 
which  he  had,  being  uncircumcised ;  that 
he  might  be  the  father  of  all  them  that 
believe,  being  uncircumcised,  that  unto 
them  also  it  may  be  reputed  to  justice: 

12  And  might  be  the  father  of  circum- 
cision; not  to  them  only,  that  are  of  the 
circumcision,  but  to  them  also  that  fol- 
low the  steps  of  the  faithful,  that  is  in 
the  uncircumcision  of  our  father  Abra- 
ham. 

13  For  not  through  the  law  was  the 
promise  to  Abraham,  or  to  his  seed,  that 
he  should  be  heir  of  the  world;  but 
through  the  justice  of  faith. 

14  For  if  they  who  are  of  the  law  be 
heirs,  faith  is  made  void,  the  promise  is 
made  of  no  effect. 

15  For  the  law  worketh  wrath.  For 
where  there  is  no  law,  neither  is  there 
transgression. 

16  Therefore  is  it  of  faith,  that  accord- 
ing to  grace  the  promise  might  be  firm 
to  all  the  seed;  not  to  that  only  which 
is  of  the  law,  but  to  that  also  which  is  of 
the  faith  of  Abraham,  who  is  the  father 
of  us  all, 

17  (As  it  is  written :  I  have  made  thee  a 
father  of  many  nations,)  before  God, 
whom  he  believed,  who  quickeneth  the 
dead;  and  calleth  those  things  that  are 
not,  as  those  that  are. 

18  Who  against  hope  believed  in  hope; 
that   he    might   be    made    the    father    of

nations,    according    to    that    which    was 
spoken,  So  shall  thy  seed  be. 

19  And  being  not  weak  in  faith,  he 
considered  not  his  own  body  now  dead, 
when  he  was  about  an  hundred  years 
old,  neither  yet  the  deadness  of  Sarah's 
womb: 

20  He  staggered  not  at  the  promise  of 
God  through  unbelief ;  but  was  strong  in 
faith,  giving  glory  to  God; 

21  And  being  fully  persuaded  that,  what 
he  had  promised,  he  was  able  also  to 
perform. 

22  And  therefore  it  was  imputed  to 
him  for  righteousness. 

22  Now  it  was  not  written  for  his 
sake  alone,  that  it  was  imputed  to  him; 

24  But  for  us  also,  to  whom  it  shall 
be  imputed,  if  we  believe  on  him  that 
raised  up  Jesus  our  Lord  from  the  dead; 

25  Who  was  delivered  for  our  offences, 
and  was  raised  again  for  our  justification. 


CHAPTER  5- 

THEREFORE  being  justified  by  faith, 
we   have   peace   with    God   through 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ: 

2  By  whom  also  we  have  access  by 
faith  into  this  grace  wherein  we  stand, 
and  rejoice  in  hope  of  the  glory  of 
God. 

3  And  not  only  so,  but  we  glory  in 
tribulations  also:  knowing  that  tribula- 
tion worketh  patience ; 

4  And  patience,  experience ;  and  experi- 
ence, hope : 

5  And  hope  maketh  not  ashamed;  be- 
cause the  love  of  God  is  shed  abroad  in 
our  hearts  by  the  Holy  Ghost  which  is 
given  unto  us. 

6  For  when  we  were  yet  without 
strength,  in  due  time  Christ  died  for  the 
ungodly. 

7  For  scarcely  for  a  righteous  man  will 
one  die :  yet  peradventure  for  a  good  man 
some  would  even  dare  to  die. 

8  But  God  commendeth  his  love  toward 
us,  in  that,  while  we  were  yet  sinners, 
Christ  died  for  us. 

9  Much  more  then,  being  now  justified 
by  his  blood,  we  shall  be  saved  from 
wrath  through  him. 

ID  For  if,  when  we  were  enemies,  we 


eth  the  dead,  and  calleth  the  things 
that  are  not,  as  though  they  were. 

18  Who  in  hope  believed  against 
hope,  to  the  end  that  he  might  be- 
come a  father  of  many  nations,  ac- 
cording to  that  which  had  been 
spoken,     So     shall     thy     seed     be. 

19  And  without  being  weakened  in 
faith  he  considered  his  own  body 
now  as  good  as  dead  (he  being 
about  a  hundred  years  old),  and 
the  deadness  of  Sarah's  womb :  20 
yea,  looking  unto  the  promise  of 
God.  he  wavered  not  through  un- 
belief, but  waxed  strong  through 
faith,  giving  glory  to  God,  21  and 
being  fully  assured  that,  what  he 
had  promised,  he  was  able  also  to 
perform.  22  Wherefore  also  it  was 
reckoned  unto  him  for  righteous- 
ness. 23  Now  it  was  not  written 
for  his  sake  alone,  that  it  was 
reckoned  unto  him ;  24  but  for  our 
sake  also,  unto  whom  it  shall  be 
reckoned,  who  believe  on  him  that 
raised  Jesus  our  Lord  from  the 
dead,  25  who  was  delivered  up 
for  our  trespasses,  and  was  raised 
for  our  justification. 

gT>EING  therefore  justified  by 
5-D  faith,  let  us  have  peace  with 
God  through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ ; 

2  through  whom  also  we  have  had 
our  access  by  faith  into  this  grace 
wherein  we  stand ;  and  let  us  re- 
joice in  hope  of  the  glory  of  God. 

3  And  not  only  so,  but  let  us  also 
rejoice  in  our  tribulations:  know- 
ing that  tribulation  worketh  pa- 
tience ;  4  and  patience,  probation ; 
and  probation,  hope :  5  and  hope 
putteth  not  to  shame;  because  the 
love  of  God  hath  been  shed  abroad 
in  our  hearts  through  the  Holy 
Ghost  which  was  given  unto  us. 
6  For  while  we  were  yet  weak,  in 
due  season  Christ  died  for  the 
ungodly.  7  For  scarcely  for  a 
righteous  man  will  one  die:  for 
peradventure  for  the  good  man 
some  one  would  even  dare  to  die. 
8  But  God  commendeth  his  own 
love  toward  us,  in  that,  while  we 
were  yet  sinners,  Christ  died  for 
us.  9  Much  more  then,  being  now 
justified  by  his  blood,  shall  we  be 
saved  from  the  wrath  of  God 
through  him.     10  For  if,  while  we

the  things  that  are  not,  as  though 
they  were.  18  Who  in  hope  be- 
lieved against  hope,  to  the  end  that 
he  might  become  a  father  of  many 
nations,  according  to  that  which  had 
been  spoken.  So  shall  thy  seed  be. 
19  And  without  being  weakened  in 
faith  he  considered  his  own  body 
now  as  good  as  dead  (he  being 
about  a  hundred  years  old),  and  the 
deadness  of  Sarah's  womb ;  20  yet, 
looking  unto  the  promise  of  God, 
he  wavered  not  through  unbelief, 
but  waxed  strong  through  faith, 
giving  glory  to  God,  21  and  being 
fully  assured  that  what  he  had 
promised,  he  was  able  also  to  per- 
form. 22  Wherefore  also  it  was 
reckoned  unto  him  for  righteous- 
ness. 23  Now  it  was  not  written 
for  his  sake  alone,  that  it  was 
reckoned  unto  him ;  24  but  for  our 
sake  also,  unto  whom  it  shall  be 
reckoned,  who  believe  on  him  that 
raised  Jesus  our  Lord  from  the 
dead,  25  who  was  delivered  up  for 
our  trespasses,  and  was  raised  for 
our  justification. 

"OEING  therefore  justified  by 
5-D  faith,  we  have  peace  with 
God  through  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ;  2  through  whom  also  we 
have  had  our  access  by  faith  into 
this  grace  wherein  we  stand ;  and 
we  rejoice  in  hope  of  the  glory  of 
God.  3  And  not  only  so,  but  we 
also  rejoice  in  our  tribulations: 
knowing  that  tribulation  worketh 
stedfastness ;  4  and  stedfastness, 
approvedness ;  and  approvedness, 
hope:  5  and  hope  putteth  not  to 
shame;  because  the  love  of  God 
hath  been  shed  abroad  in  our  hearts 
through  the  Holy  Spirit  which  was 
given  unto  us.  6  For  while  we 
were  yet  weak,  in  due  season  Christ 
died  for  the  ungodly.  7  For 
scarcely  for  a  righteous  man  will 
one  die :  for  peradventure  for  the 
good  man  some  one  would  even 
dare  to  die.  8  But  God  commend- 
eth  his  own  love  toward  us,  in  that, 
while  we  were  yet  sinners,  Christ 
died  for  us.  9  Much  more  then, 
being  now  justified  by  his  blood,

many    nations,    according    to   that   which 
was  said  to  him:  So  shall  thy  seed  he. 

19  And  he  was  not  weak  in  faith;  nei- 
ther did  he  consider  his  own  body  now 
dead,  whereas  he  was  almost  an  hundred 
years  old,  nor  the  dead  womb  of  Sara. 

20  In  the  promise  also  of  God  he  stag- 
gered not  by  distrust;  but  was  strength- 
ened in  faith,  giving  glory  to  God : 

21  Most  fully  knowing,  that  whatsoever 
he  has  promised,  he  is  able  also  to  per- 
form, 

22  And  therefore  it  was  reputed  to  him 
unto  justice. 

23  Now  it  is  not  written  only  for  him, 
that  it  was  reputed  to  him  unto  justice, 

24  But  also  for  us,  to  whom  it  shall  be 
reputed,  if  we  believe  in  him,  that  raised 
up  Jesus  Christ,  our  Lord,  from  the  dead. 

25  Who  was  delivered  up  for  our  sins, 
and  rose  again  for  our  justification. 


CHAPTER  5. 

BEING  justified  therefore  by  faith,  let 
us    have    peace    with    God,    through 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ : 

2  By  whom  also  we  have  access  through 
faith  into  this  grace,  wherein  we  stand, 
and  glory  in  the  hope  of  the  glory  of  the 
sons  of  God. 

3  And  not  only  so;  but  we  glory  also 
in  tribulations,  knowing  that  tribulation 
worketh  patience; 

4  And  patience  trial ;  and  trial  hope  ; 

5  And  hope  confoundeth  not:  because 
the  charity  of  God  is  poured  forth  in  our 
hearts,  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  who  is  given 
to  us. 

6  For  why  did  Christ,  when  as  yet  we 
were  weak,  according  to  the  time,  die 
for  the  ungodly? 

7  For  scarce  for  a  just  man  will  one 
die;  yet  perhaps  for  a  good  man  some 
one  would  dare  to  die. 

8  But  God  commendeth  his  charity  to- 
wards us;  because  when  as  yet  we  were 
sinners,  according  to  the  time, 

9  Christ  died  for  us ;  much  more  there- 
fore, being  now  justified  by  his  blood, 
shall  we  be  saved  from  wrath  through 
him. 

10  For  if,  when  we  were  enemies,  we 


170     AUTHORIZED 


ROMANS,  6. 


REVISED 


were  reconciled  to  God  by  the  death  of 
his  Son,  much  more,  being  reconciled,  we 
shall  be  saved  by  his  life. 

11  And  not  only  so,  but  we  also  joy  in 
God  through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  by 
whom  we  have  now  received  the  atone- 
ment. 

12  Wherefore,  as  by  one  man  sin  en- 
tered into  the  world,  and  death  by  sin; 
and  so  death  passed  upon  all  men,  for 
that  all  have  sinned: 

13  (For  until  the  law  sin  was  in  the 
world:  but  sin  is  not  imputed  when  there 
is  no  law. 

14  Nevertheless  death  reigned  from 
Adam  to  Moses,  even  over  them  that  had 
not  sinned  after  the  similitude  of  Adam's 
transgression,  who  is  the  figure  of  him 
that  was  to  come. 

15  But  not  as  the  offence,  so  also  is  the 
free  gift.  For  if  through  the  offence  of 
one  many  be  dead,  much  more  the  grace 
of  God,  and  the  gift  by  grace,  which  is 
by  one  man,  Jesus  Christ,  hath  abounded 
unto  many. 

16  And  not  as  it  was  by  one  that  sinned, 
so  is  the  gift:  for  the  judgment  was  by 
one  to  condemnation,  but  the  free  gift  is 
of  many  offences  unto  justification. 

17  For  if  by  one  man's  offence  death 
reigneth  by  one;  much  more  they  which 
receive  abundance  of  grace  and  of  the 
gift  of  righteousness  shall  reign  in  life 
by  one,  Jesus  Christ.) 

18  Therefore  as  by  the  offence  of  one 
judgment  came  upon  all  men  to  con- 
demnation ;  even  so  by  the  righteousness 
of  one  the  free  gift  came  upon  all  men 
unto  justification  of  life. 

19  For  as  by  one  man's  disobedience 
many  were  made  sinners,  so  by  the  obedi- 
ence of  one  shall  many  be  made  righteous. 

20  Moreover  the  law  entered,  that  the 
offence  might  abound.  But  where  sin 
abounded,  grace  did  much  more  abound : 

21  That  as  sin  hath  reigned  unto  death, 
even  so  might  grace  reign  through 
righteousness  unto  eternal  life  by  Jesus 
Christ  our  Lord. 


CHAPTER  6. 


were  enemies,  we  were  reconciled 
to  God  through  the  death  of  his 
Son,  much  more,  being  reconciled, 
shall  we  be  saved  by  his  life;  11 
and  not  only  so,  but  we  also  re- 
joice in  God  through  our  Lord  Je- 
sus Christ,  through  whom  we  have 
now  received  the  reconciliation. 

12  Therefore,  as  through  one 
man  sin  entered  into  the  world,  and 
death  through  sin;  and  so  death 
passed  unto  all  men,  for  that  all 
sinned : — 13  for  until  the  law  sin 
was  in  the  world :  but  sin  is  not 
imputed    when    there    is    no    law. 

14  Nevertheless  death  reigned  from 
Adam  until  Moses,  even  over  them 
that  had  not  sinned  after  the  like- 
ness of  Adam's  transgression,  who 
is  a  figure  of  him  that  was  to  come. 

15  But  not  as  the  trespass,  so  also  is 
the  free  gift.  For  if  by  the  tres- 
pass of  the  one  the  many  died, 
much  more  did  the  grace  of  God, 
and  the  gift  by  the  grace  of  the  one 
man,  Jesus  Christ,  abound  unto  the 
many.  16  And  not  as  through  one 
that  sinned,  so  is  the  gift:  for  the 
judgement  came  of  one  unto  con- 
demnation, but  the  free  gift  came 
of  many  trespasses  unto  justifica- 
tion. 17  For  if,  by  the  trespass  of 
the  one,  death  reigned  through  the 
one;  much  more  shall  they  that  re- 
ceive the  abundance  of  grace  and 
of  the  gift  of  righteousness  reign 
in  life  through  the  one,  even  Jesus 
Christ.  18  So  then  as  through  one 
trespass  the  judgement  came  unto 
all  men  to  condemnation ;  even  so 
through  one  act  of  righteousness 
the  free  gift  came  unto  all  men  to 
justification  of  life.  19  For  as 
through  the  one  man's  disobedience 
the  many  were  made  sinners,  even 
so  through  the  obedience  of  the 
one  shall  the  many  be  made  right- 
eous. 20  And  the  law  came  in  beside, 
that  the  trespass  might  abound; 
but  where  sin  abounded,  grace  did 
abound  more  exceedingly :  21  that, 
as  sin  reigned  in  death,  even  so 
might  grace  reign  through  right- 
eousness unto  eternal  life  through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 


WHAT  shall  we  say  then?    Shall  we 
continue    in    sin,    that    grace    may 
abound  ?

while  we  were  enemies,  we  were  re- 
conciled to  God  through  the  death 
of  his  Son,  much  more,  being  recon- 
ciled, shall  we  be  saved  by  his  life ; 
II  and  not  only  so,  but  we  also 
rejoice  in  God  through  our  Lord  Je- 
sus Christ,  through  whom  we  have 
now  received  the  reconciliation. 

12  Therefore,  as  through  one 
man  sin  entered  into  the  world, 
and  death  through  sin ;  and  so 
death  passed  unto  all  men,  for  that 
all  sinned : — 13  for  until  the  law  sin 
was  in  the  world ;  but  sin  is  not 
imputed    when    there    is    no    law. 

14  Nevertheless  death  reigned  from 
Adam  until  Moses,  even  over  them 
that  had  not  sinned  after  the  like- 
ness of  Adam's  transgression,  who 
is  a  figure  of  him  that  was  to  come. 

15  But  not  as  the  trespass,  so  also 
is  the  free  gift.  For  if  by  the 
trespass  of  the  one  the  many  died, 
much  more  did  the  grace  of  God, 
and  the  gift  by  the  grace  of  the 
one  man,  Jesus  Christ,  abound  unto 
the  many.  16  And  not  as  through 
one  that  sinned,  so  is  the  gift :  for 
the  judgment  came  of  one  unto 
condemnation,  but  the  free  gift 
came  of  many  trespasses  unto 
justification.  17  For  if,  by  the  tres- 
pass of  the  one,  death  reigned 
through  the  one ;  much  more  shall 
they  that  receive  the  abundance  of 
grace  and  of  the  gift  of  righteous- 
ness reign  in  life  through  the  one, 
even  Jesus  Christ.  18  So  then  as 
through  one  trespass  the  judgment 
came  unto  all  men  to  condemna- 
tion; even  so  through  one  act  of 
righteousness  the  free  gift  came 
unto  all  men  to  justification  of  life. 
19  For  as  through  the  one  man's 
disobedience  the  many  were  made 
sinners,  even  so  through  the  obedi- 
ence of  the  one  shall  the  many  be 
made  righteous.  20  And  the  law 
came  in  besides,  that  the  trespass 
might  abound;  but  where  sin 
abounded,  grace  did  abound  more 
exceedingly :  21  that,  as  sin  reigned 
in  death,  even  so  might  grace  reign 
through  righteousness  unto  eternal 
life  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.

were  reconciled  to  God  by  the  death  of 
his  Son ;  much  more,  being  reconciled, 
shall  we  be  saved  by  his  life. 

11  And  not  only  so;  but  also  we  glory 
in  God,  through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
by  whom  we  have  now  received  recon- 
ciliation. 

12  Wherefore  as  by  one  man  sin  en- 
tered into  this  world,  and  by  sin  death; 
and  so  death  passed  upon  all  men,  in 
whom  all  have  sinned. 

13  For  until  the  law  sin  was  in  the 
world;  but  sin  was  not  imputed,  when 
the  law  was  not. 

14  But  death  reigned  from  Adam  unto 
Moses,  even  over  them  also  who  have 
not  sinned  after  the  similitude  of  the 
transgression  of  Adam,  who  is  a  figure  of 
him  who  was  to  come. 

15  But  not  as  the  offence,  so  also  the 
gift.  For  if  by  the  offence  of  one,  many 
died;  much  more  the  grace  of  God,  and 
the  gift,  by  the  grace  of  one  man,  Jesus 
Christ,  hath  abounded  unto  many. 

16  And  not  as  it  was  by  one  sin,  so 
also  is  the  gift.  For  judgment  indeed 
was  by  one  unto  condemnation ;  but  grace 
is  of  many  offences,  unto  justification. 

17  For  if  by  one  man's  offence  death 
reigned  through  one;  much  more  they 
who  receive  abundance  of  grace,  and  of 
the  gift,  and  of  justice,  shall  reign  in  life 
through  one,  Jesus  Christ. 

18  Therefore,  as  by  the  offence  of  one, 
unto  all  men  to  condemnation;  so  also  by 
the  justice  of  one,  unto  all  men  to  justi- 
fication of  life. 

19  For  as  by  the  disobedience  of  one 
man,  many  were  made  sinners;  so  also 
by  the  obedience  of  one,  many  shall  be 
made  just. 

20  Now  the  law  entered  in,  that  sin 
might  abound.  And  where  sin  abounded, 
grace  did  more  abound. 

21  That  as  sin  hath  reigned  to  death; 
so  also  grace  might  reign  by  justice  unto 
life  everlasting,  through  Jesus  Christ  our 
Lord.

WHAT  shall  we  say,  then?  shall  we

2  God  forbid.  How  shall  we,  that  are 
dead  to  sin,  live  any  longer  therein? 

3  Know  ye  not,  that  so  many  of  us 
as  were  baptized  into  Jesus  Christ  were 
baptized  into  his  death? 

4  Therefore  we  are  buried  with  him 
by  baptism  into  death :  that  like  as  Christ 
was  raised  up  from  the  dead  by  the  glory 
of  the  Father,  even  so  we  also  should 
walk  in  newness  of  life. 

5  For  if  we  have  been  planted  together 
in  the  likeness  of  his  death,  we  shall  be 
also  in  the  likeness  of  his  resurrection : 

6  Knowing  this,  that  our  old  man  is 
crucified  with  him,  that  the  body  of  sin 
might  be  destroyed,  that  henceforth  we 
should  not  serve  sin. 

7  For  he  that  is  dead  is  freed  from 
sin. 

8  Now  i#  w$  be  dead  with  Christ,  we 
believe  that  we  shall  also  live  with  him : 

9  Knowing  that  Christ  being  raised 
from  the  dead  dieth  no  more;  death  hath 
no  more  dominion  over  him. 

10  For  in  that  he  died,  he  died  unto  sin 
once :  but  in  that  he  liveth,  he  liveth  unto 
God. 

11  Likewise  reckon  ye  also  yourselves 
to  be  dead  indeed  unto  sin,  but  alive  unto 
God  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

12  Let  not  sin  therefore  reign  in  your 
mortal  body,  that  ye  should  obey  it  in  the 
lusts  thereof. 

13  Neither  yield  ye  your  members  as 
instruments  of  unrighteousness  unto  sin: 
but  yield  yourselves  unto  God,  as  those 
that  are  alive  from  the  dead,  and  your 
members  as  instruments  of  righteousness 
unto  God. 

14  For  sin  shall  not  have  dominion 
over  you :  for  ye  are  not  under  the  law, 
but  under  grace. 

15  What  then?  shall  we  sin,  because 
we  are  not  under  the  law,  but  under 
grace?     God  forbid. 

16  Know  ye  not,  that  to  whom  ye  yield 
yourselves  servants  to  obey,  his  servants 
ye  are  to  whom  ye  obey;  whether  of 
sin  unto  death,  or  of  obedience  unto 
righteousness  ? 

17  But  God  be  thanked,  that  ye  were 
the  servants  of  sin,  but  ye  have  obeyed 
from  the  heart  that  form  of  doctrine 
which  was  delivered  you. 

18  Being  then  made  free  from  sin,  ye 
became  the  servants  of  righteousness.

shall   we   any   longer   live   therein? 

3  Or  are  ye  ignorant  that  all  we 
who  were  baptized  into  Christ 
Jesus  were  baptized  into  his  death? 

4  We  were  buried  therefore  with 
him  through  baptism  into  death : 
that  like  as  Christ  was  raised  from 
the  dead  through  the  glory  of  the 
Father,  so  we  also  might  walk  in 
newness  of  life.  5  For  if  we  have 
become  united  with  him  by  the 
likeness  of  his  death,  we  shall  be 
also  by  the  likeness  of  his  resur- 
rection ;  6  knowing  this,  that  our 
old  man  was  crucified  with  him, 
that  the  body  of  sin  might  be  done 
away,  that  so  we  should  no  longer 
be  in  bondage  to  sin ;  7  for  he 
that  hath  died  is  justified  from  sin. 
8  But  if  we  died  with  Christ,  we 
believe  that  we  shall  also  live  with 
him ;  9  knowing  that  Christ  being 
raised  from  the  dead  dieth  no 
more ;  death  no  more  hath  domin- 
ion over  him.  10  For  the  death  that 
he  died,  he  died  unto  sin  once :  but 
the  life  that  he  liveth,  he  liveth 
unto  God.  II  Even  so  reckon  ye 
also  yourselves  to  be  dead  unto 
gin,  but  alive  unto  God  in  Christ 
Jesus. 

12  Let  not  sin  therefore  reign  in 
your  mortal  body,  that  ye  should 
obey  the  lusts  thereof :  13  neither 
present  your  members  unto  sin  as 
instruments  of  unrighteousness ; 
but  present  yourselves  unto  God, 
as  alive  from  the  dead,  and  your 
members  as  instruments  of  right- 
eousness unto  God.  14  For  sin  shall 
not  have  dominion  over  you :  for 
ye  are  not  under  law,  but  under 
grace. 

15  What  then?  shall  we  sin,  be- 
cause we  are  not  under  law,  but 
under  grace?  God  forbid.  16  Know 
ye  not,  that  to  whom  ye  present 
yourselves  as  servants  unto  obedi- 
ence, his  servants  ye  are  whom  ye 
obey;  whether  of  sin  unto  death, 
or  of  obedience  unto  righteous- 
ness? 17  But  thanks  be  to  God, 
that,  whereas  ye  were  servants  of 
sin,  ye  became  obedient  from  the 
heart  to  that  form  of  teaching 
whereunto  ye  were  delivered ;  18

became   servants   of   righteousness.

3  Know  you  not  that  all  we,  who  are 
baptized  in  Christ  Jesus,  are  baptized  in 
his  death? 

4  For  we  are  buried  together  with  him 
by  baptism  into  death;  that  as  Christ  is 
risen  from  the  dead  by  the  glory  of  the 
Father,  so  we  also  may  walk  in  new- 
ness of  life. 

5  For  if  we  have  been  planted  together 
in  the  likeness  of  his  death,  we  shall  be 
also  in  the  likeness  of  his  resurrection, 

6  Knowing  this,  that  our  old  man  is

may  be  destroyed,  to  the  end  that  we  may 
serve  sin  no  longer. 

7  For  he  that  is  dead  is  justified  from 
sin. 

8  Now  if  we  be  dead  with  Christ,  we 
believe  that  we  shall  live  also  together 
with  Christ : 

9  Knowing  that  Christ  rising  again 
from  the  dead,  dieth  now  no  more,  death 
shall  no  more  have  dominion  over  him. 

10  For  in  that  he  died  to  sin,  he  died 
once;  but  in  that  he  liveth,  he  liveth  unto 
God: 

11  So  do  you  also  reckon,  that  you  are 
dead  to  sin,  but  alive  unto  God,  in  Christ

sent yourselves  to  God,  as  those  that  are 
alive  from  the  dead,  and  your  members 
as  instruments  of  justice  unto  God. 

14  For  sin  shall  not  have  dominion  over 
you ;  for  you  are  not  under  the  law,  but 
under  grace. 

15  What  then?  Shall  we  sin,  because 
we  are  not  under  the  law,  but  under

16  Know  you  not,  that  to  whom  you 
yield  yourselves  servants  to  obey,  his 
servants  you  are  whom  you  obey,  whether 
it  be  of  sin  unto  death,  or  of  obedience 
unto  justice. 

17  But  thanks  be  to  God,  that  you  were 
the  servants  of  sin,  but  have  obeyed  from 
the  heart,  unto  that  form  of  doctrine, 
into  which  you  have  been  delivered.

been  made  servants  of  justice.

servants  to  uncleanness  and  to  iniquity

members  servants  to  righteousness  unto 
holiness. 

20  For  when  ye  were  the  servants  of 
sin,  ye  were  free  from  righteousness. 

21  What  fruit  had  ye  then  in  those 
things  whereof  ye  are  now  ashamed?  for 
the  end  of  those  things  is  death. 

22  But  now  being  made  free  from  sin, 
and  become  servants  to  God,  ye  have  your 
fruit  unto  holiness,  and  the  end  ever- 
lasting life.

CHAPTER  7. 

KNOW  ye  not,  brethren,  (for  I  speak 
to  them  that  know  the  law,)  how 
that  the  law  hath  dominion  over  a  man 
as  long  as  he  liveth? 

2  For  the  woman  which  hath  an  hus- 
band is  bound  by  the  law  to  her  husband 
so  long  as  he  liveth;  but  if  the  husband 
be  dead,  she  is  loosed  from  the  law  of  her 
husband. 

3  So  then  if,  while  her  husband  liveth, 
she  be  married  to  another  man,  she  shall 
be  called  an  adulteress :  but  if  her  hus- 
band be  dead,  she  is  free  from  that  law; 
so  that  she  is  no  adulteress,  though  she  be 
married  to  another  man. 

4  Wherefore,  my  brethren,  ye  also  are 
become  dead  to  the  law  by  the  body  of 
Christ;  that  ye  should  be  married  to  an- 
other, even  to  him  who  is  raised  from 
the  dead,  that  we  should  bring  forth  fruit 
unto  God. 

5  For  when  we  were  in  the  flesh,  the 
motions  of  sins,  which  were  by  the  law, 
did  work  in  our  members  to  bring  forth 
fruit  unto  death. 

6  But  now  we  are  delivered  from  the 
law,  that  being  dead  wherein  we  were 
held ;  that  we  should  serve  in  newness 
of  spirit,  and  not  in  the  oldness  of  the 
letter. 

7  What  shall  we  say  then  ?  Is  the  law 
sin?  God  forbid.  Nay,  I  had  not  known 
sin,  but  by  the  law :  for  I  had  not  known 
lust,  except  the  law  had  said.  Thou  shalt 
not  covet. 

8  But  sin,  taking  occasion  by  the  com- 
mandment, wrought  in  me  all  manner  of 


19  I  speak  after  the  manner  of  men

flesh :  for  as  ye  presented  your 
members  as  servants  to  unclean- 
ness and  to  iniquity  unto  iniquity, 
even  so  now  present  your  members 
as  servants  to  righteousness  unto 
sanctification.  20  For  when  ye  were 
servants  of  sin,  ye  were  free  in 
regard  of  righteousness.  21  What 
fruit  then  had  ye  at  that  time  in 
the  things  whereof  ye  are  now 
ashamed?  for  the  end  of  those 
things  is  death.  22  But  now  being 
made  free  from  sin,  and  become 
servants  to  God,  ye  have  your  fruit 
unto  sanctification,  and  the  end 
eternal  life.  23  For  the  wages  of 
sin  is  death ;  but  the  free  gift  of 
God  is  eternal  life  in  Christ  Jesus 
our  Lord. 

^/^R  are  ye  ignorant,  brethren 
7^^  (for  I  speak  to  men  that 
know  the  law),  how  that  the  law 
hath  dominion  over  a  man  for  so 
long  time  as  he  liveth?  2  For  the 
woman  that  hath  a  husband  is 
bound  by  law  to  the  husband  while 
he  liveth ;  but  if  the  husband  die, 
she  is  discharged  from  the  law  of 
the  husband.  3  So  then  if,  while 
the  husband  liveth,  she  be  joined 
to  another  man,  she  shall  be  called 
an  adulteress:  but  if  the  husband 
die,  she  is  free  from  the  law,  so 
that  she  is  no  adulteress,  though  she 
be  joined  to  another  man.  4  Where- 
fore, my  brethren,  ye  also  were 
made  dead  to  the  law  through 
the  body  of  Christ ;  that  ye  should 
be  joined  to  another,  even  to  him 
who  was  raised  from  the  dead, 
that  we  might  bring  forth  fruit 
unto  God.  5  For  when  we  were  in 
the  flesh,  the  sinful  passions,  which 
were  through  the  law,  wrought  in 
our  members  to  bring  forth  fruit 
unto  death.  6  But  now  we  have 
been  discharged  from  the  law,  hav- 
ing died  to  that  wherein  we  were 
holden ;  so  that  we  serve  in  new- 
ness of  the  spirit,  and  not  in  old- 
ness of  the  letter. 

7  What  shall  we  say  then?  Is  the 
law  sin?  God  forbid.  Howbeit,  I 
had  not  known  sin,  except  through 
the  law :  for  I  had  not  known  cov- 
eting,   except    the    law    had    said,

die,  she  is  free  from  the  law,  so 
that  she  is  no  adulteress,  though 
she  be  joined  to  another  man.  4 
Wherefore,  my  brethren,  ye  also 
were  made  dead  to  the  law  through 
the  body  of  Christ;  that  ye  should 
be  joined  to  another,  even  to  him 
who  was  raised  from  the  dead,  that 
we  might  bring  forth  fruit  unto 
God.  5  For  when  we  were  in  the 
flesh,  the  sinful  passions,  which 
were  through  the  law,  wrought  in

7  What  shall  we  say  then?  Is 
the  law  sin?  God  forbid.  How- 
beit,  I  had  not  known  sin,  except 
through  the  law:  for  I  had  not 
known    coveting,    except    the    law 


have  yielded  your  members  to  serve  un- 
cleanness  and  iniquity,  unto  iniquity;  so 
now  yield  your  members  to  serve  justice, 
unto  sanctification, 

20  For  when  you  were  the  servants  of 
sin,  you  were  free  men  to  justice. 

21  What  fruit  therefore  had  you  then 
in  those  things,  of  which  you  are  now

CHAPTER  7. 

KNOW  you  not,  brethren,  (for  I  speak 
to  them  that  know  the  law,)  that 
the  law  hath  dominion  over  a  man,  as 
long  as  it  liveth? 

2  For  the  woman  that  hath  an  hus- 
band, whilst  her  husband  liveth  is  bound 
to  the  law.  But  if  her  husband  be  dead, 
she  is  loosed  from  the  law  of  her  hus- 
band. 

3  Therefore,  whilst  her  husband  liveth, 
she  shall  be  called  an  adulteress,  if  she 
be  with  another  man :  but  if  her  husband 
be  dead,  she  is  delivered  from  the  law  of 
her  husband;  so  that  she  is  not  an  adul- 
teress, if  she  be  with  another  man. 

4  Therefore,  my  brethren,  you  also  are 
become  dead  to  the  law,  by  the  body  of 
Christ;  that  you  may  belong  to  another, 
who  is  risen  again  from  the  dead,  that 
we  may  bring  forth  fruit  to  God. 

5  For  when  we  were  in  the  flesh,  the 
passions  of  sins,  which  were  by  the  law, 
did  work  in  our  members,  to  bring  forth 
fruit  unto  death. 

6  But  now  we  are  loosed  from  the  law 
of  death,  wherein  we  were  detained;  so 
that  we  should  serve  in  newness  of  spirit,

7  What  shall  we  say,  then?  Is  the  law 
sin?  God  forbid.  But  I  do  not  know 
sin,  but  by  the  law ;  for  I  had  not  known 
concupiscence,  if  the  law  did  not  say: 
Thou  shalt  not  covet.

mandment, wrought  in  me  all  manner  of

was  dead.

concupiscence.  For  without  the  law  sin 
was  dead. 

9  For  I  was  alive  without  the  law 
once:  but  when  the  commandment  came, 
sin  revived,  and  I  died. 

ID  And  the  commandment,  which  was 
ordained  to  life,  I  found  to  be  unto 
death. 

11  For  sin,  taking  occasion  by  the  com- 
mandment, deceived  me,  and  by  it  slew 
me. 

12  Wherefore  the  law  is  holy,  and  the 
commandment  holy,  and  just,  and  good. 

13  Was  then  that  which  is  good  made 
death  unto  me?  God  forbid.  But  sin, 
that  it  might  appear  sin,  working  death 
in  me  by  that  which  is  good ;  that  sin  by 
the  commandment  might  become  exceed- 
ing sinful. 

14  For  we  know  that  the  law  is 
spiritual :  but  I  am  carnal,  sold  under  sin. 

15  For  that  which  I  do  I  allow  not : 
for  what  I  would,  that  do  I  not ;  but  what 
I  hate,  that  do  I. 

16  If  then  I  do  that  which  I  would 
not,  I  consent  unto  the  law  that  it  is 
good. 

17  Now  then  it  is  no  more  I  that  do  it, 
but  sin  that  dwelleth  in  me. 

18  For  I  know  that  in  me  (that  is, 
in  my  flesh,)  dwelleth  no  good  thing: 
for  to  will  is  present  with  me ;  but  how 
to  perform  that  which  is  good  I  find  not. 

19  For  the  good  that  I  would  I  do 
not:  but  the  evil  which  I  would  not, 
that  I  do. 

20  Now  if  I  do  that  I  would  not,  it  is 
no  more  I  that  do  it,  but  sin  that  dwelleth 
in  me. 

21  I  find  then  a  law,  that,  when  I  would 
do  good,  evil  is  present  with  me. 

22  For  I  delight  in  the  law  of  God 
after  the  inward  man  : 

23  But  I  see  another  law  in  my  mem- 
bers, warring  against  the  law  of  my 
mind,  and  bringing  me  into  captivity  to 
the  law  of  sin  which  is  in  my  members. 

24  O  wretched  man  that  I  am !  who 
shall  deliver  me  from  the  body  of  this 
death  ? 

25  I  thank  God  through  Jesus  Christ 
our  Lord.  So  then  with  the  mind  I 
myself  serve  the  law  of  God;  but  with 
the  flesh  the  law  of  sin. 


Thou  shalt  not  covet:  8  but  sin, 
finding  occasion,  wrought  in  me 
through  the  commandment  all  man- 
ner of  coveting :  for  apart  from 
the  law  sin  is  dead.  9  And  I  was 
alive  apart  from  the  law  once:  but 
when  the  commandment  came,  sin 
revived,  and  I  died;  10  and  the 
commandment,  which  was  unto 
life,  this  I  found  to  be  unto  death: 
1 1  for  sin,  finding  occasion,  through 
the  commandment  beguiled  me, 
and  through  it  slew  me.  12  So  that 
the  law  is  holy,  and  the  command- 
ment holy,  and  righteous,  and  good. 

13  Did  then  that  which  is  good  be- 
come death  unto  me?  God  forbid. 
But  sin,  that  it  might  be  shewn  to 
be  sin,  by  working  death  to  me 
through  that  which  is  good; — 
that  through  the  commandment  sin 
might     become     exceeding     sinful. 

14  For  we  know  that  the  law  is 
spiritual :  but  I  am  carnal,  sold 
under  sin.  15  For  that  which  I  do 
I  know  not :  for  not  what  I  would, 
that  do  I  practise ;  but  what  I  hate, 
that  I  do.  16  But  if  what  I  would 
not,  that  I  do,  I  consent  unto  the 
law  that  it  is  good.  17  So  now  it  is 
no  more  I  that  do  it,  but  sin  which 
dwelleth  in  me.  18  For  I  know 
that  in  me,  that  is,  in  my  flesh, 
dwelleth  no  good  thing:  for  to  will 
is  present  with  me,  but  to  do  that 
which  is  good  is  not.  19  For  the 
good  which  I  would  I  do  not :  but 
the  evil  which  I  would  not,  that  I 
practise.  20  But  if  what  I  would 
not,  that  I  do,  it  is  no  more  I  that 
do  it,  but  sin  which  dwelleth  in 
me.  21  I  find  then  the  law,  that, 
to  me  who  would  do  good,  evil  is 
present.  22  For  I  delight  in  the 
law  of  God  after  the  inward  man : 
23  but  I  see  a  different  law  in  my 
members,  warring  against  the  law 
of  my  mind,  and  bringing  me  into 
captivity  under  the  law  of  sin 
which  is  in  my  members.  24  O 
wretched  man  that  I  am !  who  shall 
deliver  me  out  of  the  body  of  this 
death?  25  I  thank  God  through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.  So  then  I 
myself  with  the  mind  serve  the  law 
of  God;  but  with  the  flesh  the  law 
of  sin.

had  said,  Thou  shalt  not  covet : 
8  but  sin,  finding  occasion,  wrought 
in  me  through  the  commandment 
all  manner  of  coveting:  for  apart 
from  the  law  sin  is  dead.  9  And 
I  was  alive  apart  from  the  law 
once :  but  when  the  commandment 
came,  sin  revived,  and  I  died ;  10 
and  the  commandment,  which  was 
unto  life,  this  I  found  to  be  unto 
death:  11  for  sin,  finding  occasion, 
through  the  commandment  beguiled 
me,  and  through  it  slew  me.  12  So 
that  the  law  is  holy,  and  the  com- 
mandment holy,  and  righteous,  and 
good.  13  Did  then  that  which  is 
good  become  death  unto  me?  God 
forbid.  But  sin,  that  it  might  be 
shown  to  be  sin,  by  working  death 
to  me  through  that  which  is  good ; 
— that  through  the  commandment 
sin  might  become  exceeding  sinful. 
14  For  we  know  that  the  law  is 
spiritual :  but  I  am  carnal,  sold 
under  sin.  15  For  that  which  I 
do  I  know  not:  for  not  what  I 
would,  that  do  I  practise;  but  what 
I  hate,  that  I  do.  16  But  if  what 
I  would  not,  that  I  do,  I  consent 
unto  the  law  that  it  is  good.  17 
So  now  it  is  no  more  I  that  do 
it,   but   sin   which   dwelleth   in   me. 

18  For  I  know  that  in  me,  that  is, 
in  my  flesh,  dwelleth  no  good  thing : 
for  to  will  is  present  with  me,  but 
to    do   that   which    is   good   is   not. 

19  For  the  good  which  I  would  I 
do  not:  but  the  evil  which  I  would 
not,  that  I  practise.  20  But  if 
what  I  would  not,  that  I  do,  it  is 
no  more  I  that  do  it,  but  sin  which 
dwelleth  in  me.  21  I  find  then  the 
law,  that,  to  me  who  would  do  good, 
evil  is  present.  22  For  I  delight  in 
the  law  of  God  after  the  inward 
man :  23  but  I  see  a  different  law 
in  my  members,  warring  against  the 
law  of  my  mind,  and  bringing  me 
into  captivity  under  the  law  of  sin 
which  is  in  my  members.  24 
Wretched  man  that  I  am !  who  shall 
deliver  me  out  of  the  body  of  this 
death?  25  I  thank  God  through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.  So  then  I 
of  myself  with  the  mind,  indeed, 
serve  the  law  of  God ;  but  with  the 
flesh  the  law  of  sin. 


9  And  I  lived  some  time  without  the 
law.  But  when  the  commandment  came, 
sin  revived, 

ID  And  I  died.  And  the  commandment 
that  was  ordained  to  life,  the  same  was 
found  to  be  unto  death  to  me. 

11  For  sin,  taking  occasion  by  the  com- 
mandment, seduced  me,  and  by  it  killed 
me. 

12  Wherefore  the  law  indeed  is  holy, 
and  the  commandment  holy,  and  just, 
and  good. 

13  Was  that  then  which  is  good,  made 
death  unto  me?  God  forbid.  But  sin, 
that  it  may  appear  sin,  by  that  which  is 
good,  wrought  death  in  me;  that  sin,  by 
the  commandment,  might  become  sinful 
above  measure. 

14  For  we  know  that  the  law  is  spirit- 
ual;  but  I  am  carnal,  sold  under  sin. 

15  For  that  which  I  work,  I  understand 
not.  For  I  do  not  that  good  which  I 
will ;  but  the  evil  which  I  hate,  that  I  do. 

16  If  then  I  do  that  which  I  will  not,  I 
consent  to  the  law,  that  it  is  good. 

17  Now  then  it  is  no  more  I  that  do  it, 
but  sin  that  dwelleth  in  me. 

18  For  I  know  that  there  dwelleth  not 
in  me,  that  is  to  say,  in  my  flesh,  that 
which  is  good.  For  to  will,  is  present 
with  me;  but  to  accomplish  that  which 
is  good,  I  find  not. 

19  For  the  good  which  I  will,  I  do  not; 
but  the  evil  which  I  will  not,  that  I  do. 

20  Now  if  I  do  that  which  I  will  not, 
It  IS  no  more  I  that  do  it,  but  sin  that 
dwelleth  in  me. 

21  I  find  then  a  law,  that  when  I  have 
a  will  to  do  good,  evil  is  present  with  me. 

22  For  I  am  delighted  with  the  law  of 
God,  according  to  the  inward  man : 

23  But  I  see  another  law  in  my  mem- 
bers, fighting  against  the  law  of  my  mind, 
and  captivating  me  in  the  law  of  sin, 
that  is  in  my  members. 

24  Unhappy  man  that  I  am,  who  shall 
deliver  me  from  the  body  of  this  death? 

25  The  grace  of  God,  by  Jesus  Christ 
our  Lord.  Therefore,  I  myself,  with  the 
mind  serve  the  law  of  God;  but  with  the 
flesh,  the  law  of  sin.

rHERE  is  therefore  now  no  con- 
demnation to  them  which  are  in 
Christ  Jesus,  who  walk  not  after  the 
flesh,  but  after  the  Spirit. 

2  For  the  law  of  the  Spirit  of  life  in 
Christ  Jesus  hath  made  me  free  from 
the  law  of  sin  and  death. 

3  For  what  the  law  could. not  do,  in 
that  it  was  weak  through  the  flesh,  God 
sending  his  own  Son  in  the  likeness  of 
sinful  flesh,  and  for  sin,  condemned  sin 
in  the  flesh: 

4  That  the  righteousness  of  the  law 
might  be  fulfilled  in  us,  who  walk  not 
after  the  flesh,  but  after  the  Spirit. 

5  For  they  that  are  after  the  flesh  do 
mind  the  things  of  the  flesh;  but  they 
that  are  after  the  Spirit  the  things  of 
the  Spirit. 

6  For  to  be  carnally  minded  is  death; 
but  to  be  spiritually  minded  is  life  and 
peace. 

7  Because  the  carnal  mind  is  enmity 
against  God:  for  it  is  not  subject  to  the 
law  of  God,  neither  indeed  can  be. 

8  So  then  they  that  are  in  the  flesh 
cannot  please  God. 

9  But  ye  are  not  in  the  flesh,  but  in 
the  Spirit,  if  so  be  that  the  Spirit  of  God 
dwell  in  you.  Now  if  any  man  have  not 
the  Spirit  of  Christ,  he  is  none  of 
his. 

10  And  if  Christ  he  in  you,  the  body 
is  dead  because  of  sin;  but  the  Spirit  is 
life  because  of  righteousness. 

11  But  if  the  Spirit  of  him  that  raised 
up  Jesus  from  the  dead  dwell  in  you, 
he  that  raised  up  Christ  from  the  dead 
shall  also  quicken  your  mortal  bodies  by 
his  Spirit  that  dwelleth  in  you. 

12  Therefore,  brethren,  we  are  debtors, 
not  to  the  flesh,  to  live  after  the  flesh. 

13  For  if  ye  live  after  the  flesh,  ye  shall 
die:  but  if  ye  through  the  Spirit  do 
mortify  the  deeds  of  the  body,  ye  shall 
live. 

14  For  as  many  as  are  led  by  the  Spirit 
of  God,  they  are  the  sons  of  God. 

15  For  ye  have  not  received  the  spirit 
of  bondage  again  to  fear ;  but  ye  have  re- 
ceived the  Spirit  of  adoption,  whereby  we 
cry,  Abba,  Father. 

16  The  Spirit  itself  beareth  witness 
with  our  spirit,  that  we  are  the  children 
of  God: 

17  And  if  children,  then  heirs;  heirs  of 
God,  and  joint-heirs   with  Christ;   if  so 


qT^HERE  is  therefore  now  no 
"  X  condemnation  to  them  that 
are  in  Christ  Jesus.  2  For  the  law 
of  the  Spirit  of  life  in  Christ  Jesus 
made  me  free  from  the  law  of  sin 
and  of  death.  3  For  what  the  law 
could  not  do,  in  that  it  was  weak 
through  the  flesh,  God,  sending  his 
own  Son  in  the  likeness  of  sinful 
flesh  and  as  an  offering  for  sin,  con- 
demned sin  in  the  flesh :  4  that  the 
ordinance  of  the  law  might  be  ful- 
filled in  us,  who  walk  not  after  the 
flesh,  but  after  the  spirit.  5  For 
they  that  are  after  the  flesh  do  mind 
the  things  of  the  flesh;  but  they 
that  are  after  the  spirit  the  things 
of  the  spirit.  6  For  the  mind  of 
the  flesh  is  death;  but  the  mind  of 
the  spirit  is  life  and  peace :  7  be- 
cause the  mind  of  the  flesh  is  en- 
mity against  God ;  for  it  is  not  sub- 
ject to  the  law  of  God,  neither  in- 
deed can  it  be :  8  and  they  that  are 
in  the  flesh  cannot  please  God. 
9  But  ye  are  not  in  the  flesh,  but 
in  the  spirit,  if  so  be  that  the 
Spirit  of  God  dwelleth  in  you.  But 
if  any  man  hath  not  the  Spirit  of 
Christ,  he  is  none  of  his.  10  And 
if  Christ  is  in  you,  the  body  is 
dead  because  of  sin ;  but  the  spirit 
is  life  because  of  righteousness. 
II  But  if  the  Spirit  of  him  that 
raised  up  Jesus  from  the  dead 
dwelleth  in  you,  he  that  raised  up 
Christ  Jesus  from  the  dead  shall 
quicken  also  your  mortal  bodies 
through  his  Spirit  that  dwelleth  in 
you. 

12  So  then,  brethren,  we  are 
debtors,  not  to  the  flesh,  to  live  after 
the  flesh:  13  for  if  ye  live  after  the 
flesh,  ye  must  die;  but  if  by  the 
spirit  ye  mortify  the  deeds  of  the 
body,  ye  shall  live.  14  For  as  many

^'T^HERE  is  therefore  now  no

CHAPTER  8. 

THERE  is  now  therefore  no  condem- 
nation to  them  that  are  in  Christ  Je- 
sus, who  walk  not  according  to  the  flesh. 

2  For  the  law  of  the  spirit  of  life,  in 
Christ  Jesus,  hath  delivered  me  from  the 
law  of  sin  and  of  death. 

3  For  what  the  law  could  not  do,  in 
that  it  was  weak  through  the  flesh;  God 
sending  his  own  Son,  in  the  likeness  of 
sinful  flesh  and  of  sin,  hath  condemned 
sin  in  the  flesh; 

4  That  the  justification  of  the  law 
might  be  fulfilled  in  us,  who  walk  not 
according  to  the  flesh,  but  according  to 
the  spirit. 

5  For  they  that  are  according  to  the 
flesh,  mind  the  things  that  are  of  the 
flesh;  but  they  that  are  according  to 
the  spirit,  mind  the  things  that  are  of 
the  spirit. 

6  For  the  wisdom  of  the  flesh  is  death ; 
but  the  wisdom  of  the  spirit  is  life  and 
peace. 

7  Because  the  wisdom  of  the  flesh  is  an 
enemy  to  God;  for  it  is  not  subject  to 
the  law  of  God,  neither  can  it  be. 

8  And  they  who  are  in  the  flesh,  can- 
not please  God. 

9  But  you  are  not  in  the  flesh,  but  in 
the  spirit,  if  so  be  that  the  Spirit  of  God 
dwell  in  you.  Now  if  any  man  have  not 
the  Spirit  of  Christ,  he  is  none  of  his. 

10  And  if  Christ  be  in  you,  the  body  in- 
deed is  dead,  because  of  sin;  but  the 
spirit  liveth,  because  of  justification. 

11  And  if  the  Spirit  of  him  that  raised 
up  Jesus  from  the  dead,  dwell  in  you; 
he  that  raised  up  Jesus  Christ  from  the 
dead,  shall  quicken  also  your  mortal 
bodies,  because  of  his  Spirit  that  dwell- 
eth in  you.

not  to  the  flesh,  to  live  according  to  the 
flesh.

flesh,  you  shall  die:  but  if  by  the  Spirit 
you  mortify  the  deeds  of  the  flesh,  you

be  that  we  suffer  with  him,  that  we  may 
be  also  glorified  together. 

i8  For  I  reckon  that  the  sufferings  of 
this  present  time  are  not  worthy  to  be 
compared  with  the  glory  which  shall  be 
revealed  in  us. 

19  For  the  earnest  expectation  of  the 
creature  waiteth  for  the  manifestation  of 
the  sons  of  God. 

20  For  the  creature  was  made  subject 
to  vanity,  not  willingly,  but  by  reason  of 
him  who  hath  subjected  the  same  in 
hope, 

21  Because  the  creature  itself  also 
shall  be  delivered  from  the  bondage  of 
corruption  into  the  glorious  liberty  of  the 
children  of  God. 

22  For  we  know  that  the  whole  creation 
groaneth  and  travaileth  in  pain  together 
until  now. 

23  And  not  only  they,  but  ourselves 
also,  which  have  the  firstfruits  of  the 
Spirit,  even  we  ourselves  groan  within 
ourselves,  waiting  for  the  adoption,  to 
wit,  the  redemption  of  our  body. 

24  For  we  are  saved  by  hope :  but  hope 
that  is  seen  is  not  hope:  for  what  a  man 
seeth,  why  doth  he  yet  hope  for? 

25  But  if  we  hope  for  that  we  see  not, 
then  do  we  with  patience  wait  for  it. 

26  Likewise  the  Spirit  also  helpeth  our 
infirmities :  for  we  know  not  what  we 
should  pray  for  as  we  ought:  but  the 
Spirit  itself  maketh  intercession  for  us 
with  groanings  which  cannot  be  uttered. 

27  And  he  that  searcheth  the  hearts 
knoweth  what  is  the  mind  of  the  Spirit, 
because  he  maketh  intercession  for  the 
saints  according  to  the  will  of  God. 

28  And  we  know  that  all  things  work 
together  for  good  to  them  that  love 
God,  to  them  who  are  the  called  accord- 
ing to  his  purpose. 

29  For  whom  he  did  foreknow,  he  also 
did  predestinate  to  be  conformed  to  the 
image  of  his  Son,  that  he  might  be  the 
firstborn  among  many  brethren. 

30  Moreover  whom  he  did  predestinate, 
them  he  also  called :  and  whom  he  called, 
them  he  also  justified:  and  whom  he 
justified,  them  he  also  glorified. 

31  What  shall  we  then  say  to  these 
things?  If  God  be  for  us,  who  can  be 
against  us? 

32  He  that  spared  not  his  own  Son, 
but  delivered  him  up  for  us  all,  how  shall 
he  not  with  him  also  freely  give  us  all 
things  ?

which  shall  be  revealed  to  us-ward. 
19  For  the  earnest  expectation  of 
the  creation  waiteth  for  the  re- 
vealing of  the  sons  of  God.  20  For 
the  creation  was  subjected  to  van- 
ity, not  of  its  own  will,  but  by  rea- 
son of  him  who  subjected  it,  21  in 
hope  that  the  creation  itself  also 
shall  be  delivered  from  the  bond- 
age of  corruption  into  the  lib- 
erty of  the  glory  of  the  children  of 
God.  22  For  we  know  that  the 
whole  creation  groaneth  and  trav- 
aileth in  pain  together  until  now. 
23  And  not  only  so,  but  ourselves 
also,  which  have  the  firstfruits  of 
the  Spirit,  even  we  ourselves  groan 
within  ourselves,  waiting  for  otir 
adoption,  to  wit,  the  redemption  of 
our  body.  24  For  by  hope  were  we 
saved :  but  hope  that  is  seen  is 
not  hope :  for  who  hopeth  for  that 
which  he  seeth?  25  But  if  we  hope 
for  that  which  we  see  not,  then  do 
we  with  patience  wait  for  it. 

26  And  in  like  manner  the  Spirit 
also  helpeth  our  infirmity:  for  we 
know  not  how  to  pray  as  we  ought ; 
but  the  Spirit  himself  maketh  in- 
tercession for  us  with  groanings 
which  cannot  be  uttered ;  27  and 
he  that  searcheth  the  hearts  know- 
eth what  is  the  mind  of  the  Spirit, 
because  he  maketh  intercession 
for  the  saints  according  to  the  will 
of  God.  28  And  we  know  that  to 
them  that  love  God  all  things  work 
together  for  good,  even  to  them 
that  are  called  according  to  his  pur- 
pose. 29  For  whom  he  foreknew, 
he  also  foreordained  to  be  con- 
formed to  the  image  of  his  Son, 
that  he  might  be  the  firstborn 
among  many  brethren :  30  and 
whom  he  foreordained,  them  he 
also  called :  and  whom  he  called, 
them  he  also  justified:  and  whom 
he  justified,  them  he  also  glorified. 

31  What  then  shall  we  say  to 
these  things?  If  God  is  for  us,  who 
is  against  us?  32  He  that  spared 
not  his  own  Son,  but  delivered  him 
up  for  us  all,  how  shall  he  not  also 
with  him  freely  give  us  all  things? 
33  Who  shall  lay  anything  to  the 
charge  of  God's  elect?     It  is  God

ings  of  this  present  time  are  not 
worthy  to  be  compared  with  the 
glory  which  shall  be  revealed  to 
US-ward.  19  For  the  earnest  ex- 
pectation of  the  creation  waiteth 
for  the  revealing  of  the  sons  of 
God.  20  For  the  creation  was  sub- 
jected to  vanity,  not  of  its  own 
will,  but  by  reason  of  him  who  sub- 
jected it,  in  hope  21  that  the 
creation  itself  also  shall  be  deliv- 
ered from  the  bondage  of  corrup- 
tion into  the  liberty  of  the  glory 
of  the  children  of  God.  22  For 
we  know  that  the  whole  creation 
groaneth  and  travaileth  in  pain  to- 
gether until  now.  23  And  not  only 
so,  but  ourselves  also,  who  have  the 
first-fruits  of  the  Spirit,  even  we 
ourselves  groan  within  ourselves, 
waiting  for  our  adoption,  to  wit, 
the  redemption  of  our  body.  24 
For  in  hope  were  we  saved :  but 
hope  that  is  seen  is  not  hope:  for 
who  hopeth  for  that  which  he 
seeth?  25  But  if  we  hope  for  that 
which  we  see  not,  then  do  we  with 
patience  wait  for  it. 

26  And  in  like  manner  the  Spirit 
also  helpeth  our  infirmity :  for  we 
know  not  how  to  pray  as  we  ought ; 
but  the  Spirit  himself  maketh  in- 
tercession for  us  with  groanings 
which  cannot  be  uttered ;  27  and 
he  that  searcheth  the  hearts  know- 
eth  what  is  the  mind  of  the  Spirit, 
because  he  maketh  intercession  for 
the  saints  according  to  the  will  of 
God.  28  And  we  know  that  to  them 
that  love  God  all  things  work  to- 
gether for  good,  even  to  them  that 
are  called  according  to  his  pur- 
pose. 29  For  whom  he  foreknew, 
he  also  foreordained  to  be  con- 
formed to  the  image  of  his  Son, 
that  he  might  be  the  firstborn 
among  many  brethren :  30  and 
whom  he  foreordained,  them  he 
also  called :  and  whom  he  called, 
them  he  also  justified:  and  whom 
he  justified,  them  he  also  glorified. 

31  What  then  shall  we  say  to 
these  things?  If  God  is  for  us, 
who  is  against  us?  32  He  that 
spared  not  his  own  Son,  but  de- 
livered him  up  for  us  all,  how  shall 
he  not  also  with  him  freely  give  us 
all  things?  33  Who  shall  lay  any- 
thing to  the  charge  of  God's  elect? 


17  And  if  sons,  heirs  also ;  heirs  indeed 
of  God,  and  joint  heirs  with  Christ:  yet 
so,  if  we  suffer  with  him,  that  we  may 
be  also  glorified  with  him. 

18  For  I  reckon  that  the  sufferings  of 
this  time  are  not  worthy  to  be  compared 
with  the  glory  to  come,  that  shall  be  re- 
vealed in  us. 

19  For  the  expectation  of  the  creature 
waiteth  for  the  revelation  of  the  sons  of 
God. 

20  For  the  creature  was  made  subject 
to  vanity,  not  willingly,  but  by  reason 
of  him  that  made  it  subject,  in  hope: 

21  Because  the  creature  also  itself  shall 
be  delivered  from  the  servitude  of  cor- 
ruption, into  the  liberty  of  the  glory  of 
the  children  of  God. 

22  For  we  know  that  every  creature 
groaneth  and  travaileth  in  pain,  even  till 
now. 

23  And  not  only  it,  but  ourselves  also, 
who  have  the  firstfruits  of  the  Spirit, 
even  we  ourselves  groan  within  our- 
selves, waiting  for  the  adoption  of  the 
sons  of  God,  the  redemption  of  our 
body. 

24  For  we  are  saved  by  hope.  But  hope 
that  is  seen,  is  not  hope.  For  what  a 
man  seeth,  why  doth  he  hope  for? 

25  But  if  we  hope  for  that  which  we  see 
not,  we  wait  for  it  with  patience. 

26  Likewise  the  Spirit  also  helpeth  our 
infirmity.  For  we  know  not  what  we 
should  pray  for  as  we  ought;  but  the 
Spirit  himself  asketh  for  us  with  un- 
speakable groanings. 

27  And  he  that  searcheth  the  hearts, 
knoweth  what  the  Spirit  desireth;  be- 
cause he  asketh  for  the  saints  according 
to  God. 

28  And  we  know  that  to  them  that  love 
God,  all  things  work  together  unto  good, 
to  such  as,  according  to  his  purpose,  are 
called  to  be  saints. 

29  For  whom  he  foreknew,  he  also  pre- 
destinated to  be  made  conformable  to 
the  image  of  his  Son;  that  he  might  be 
the  firstborn  amongst  many  brethren. 

30  And  whom  he  predestinated,  them  he 
also  called.  And  whom  he  called,  them 
he  also  justified.  And  whom  he  justified, 
them  he  also  glorified. 

31  What  shall  we  then  say  to  these 
things?  If  God  be  for  us,  who  is  against 
us?

charge  of  God's  elect?     It  is  God  that 
justifieth. 

34  Who  is  he  that  condemneth?  It  is 
Christ  that  died,  yea  rather,  that  is  risen 
again,  who  is  even  at  the  right  hand  of 
God,  who  also  maketh  intercession  for 
us. 

35  Who  shall  separate  us  from  the  love 
of  Christ?  shall  tribulation,  or  distress, 
or  persecution,  or  famine,  or  nakedness, 
or  peril,  or  sword? 

36  As  it  is  written,  For  thy  sake  we 
are  killed  all  the  day  long;  we  are  ac- 
counted as  sheep  for  the  slaughter. 

^y  Nay,  in  all  these  things  we  are 
more  than  conquerors  through  him  that 
loved  us. 

38  For  I  am  persuaded,  that  neither 
death,  nor  life,  nor  angels,  nor  principal- 
ities, nor  powers,  nor  things  present,  nor 
things  to  come, 

39  Nor  height,  nor  depth,  nor  any  other 
creature,  shall  be  able  to  separate  us 
from  the  love  of  God,  which  is  in  Christ 
Jesus  our  Lord. 

CHAPTER  9. 

I  SAY   the   truth   in   Christ,   I   lie   not, 
my  conscience    also   bearing    me  wit- 
ness in  the  Holy  Ghost, 

2  That  I  have  great  heaviness  and  con- 
tinual sorrow  in  my  heart. 

3  For  I  could  wish  that  myself  were 
accursed  from  Christ  for  my  brethren, 
my  kinsmen  according  to  the  flesh : 

4  Who  are  Israelites ;  to  whom  pertain- 
eth  the  adoption,  and  the  glory,  and  the 
covenants,  and  the  giving  of  the  law, 
and  the  service  of  God,  and  the  prom- 
ises; 

5  Whose  are  the  fathers,  and  of  whom 
as  concerning  the  flesh  Christ  came, 
who  is  over  all,  God  blessed  for  ever. 
Amen. 

6  Not  as  though  the  word  of  God  hath 
taken  none  effect.  For  they  are  not  all 
Israel,  which  are  of  Israel : 

7  Neither,  because  they  are  the  seed 
of  Abraham,  are  they  all  children :  but. 
In  Isaac  shall  thy  seed  be  called. 

8  That  is.  They  which  are  the  chil- 
dren of  the  flesh,  these  are  not  the  chil- 
dren of  God:  but  the  children  of  the 
promise  are  counted  for  the  seed. 

9  For  this  is  the  word  of  promise.  At 
this  time  will  I  come,  and  Sarah  shall 
have  a  son. 

10  And  not  only  this;  but  when  Re- 


that  justifieth;  34  who  is  he  that 
shall  condemn?  It  is  Christ  Jesus 
that  died,  yea  rather,  that  was 
raised  from  the  dead,  who  is  at  the 
right  hand  of  God,  who  also  maketh 
intercession  for  us.  35  Who  shall 
separate  us  from  the  love  of 
Christ?  shall  tribulation,  or  anguish, 
or  persecution,  or  famine,  or  naked- 
ness, or  peril,  or  sword?  36  Even 
as  it  is  written. 

For  thy  sake  we  are  killed  all  the 
day  long; 

We  were  accounted  as  sheep  for 
the  slaughter. 
Z7  Nay,  in  all  these  things  we  are 
more  than  conquerors  through 
him  that  loved  us.  38  For  I  am 
persuaded,  that  neither  death,  nor 
life,  nor  angels,  nor  principalities, 
nor  things  present,  nor  things  to

nor  depth,  nor  any  other  creature, 
shall  be  able  to  separate  us  from  the 
love  of  God,  which  is  in  Christ  Je- 
sus our  Lord. 


T  SAY  the  truth  in  Christ,  I 
yX  lie  not,  my  conscience  bearing 
witness  with  me  in  the  Holy  Ghost, 
2  that  I  have  great  sorrow  and  un- 
ceasing pain  in  my  heart.  3  For  I 
could  wish  that  I  myself  were 
anathema  from  Christ  for  my 
brethren's  sake,  my  kinsmen  ac- 
cording to  the  flesh:  4  who  are  Is- 
raelites ;  whose  is  the  adoption, 
and  the  glory,  and  the  covenants, 
and  the  giving  of  the  law,  and  the 
service  of  God,  and  the  promises ; 
5  whose  are  the  fathers,  and  of 
whom  is  Christ  as  concerning  the 
flesh,  who  is  over  all,  God  blessed 
for  ever.  Amen.  6  But  it  is  not 
as  though  the  word  of  God  hath 
come  to  nought.  For  they  are  not 
all  Israel,  which  are  of  Israel : 
7  neither,  because  they  are  Abra- 
ham's seed,  are  they  all  children : 
but,  In  Isaac  shall  thy  seed  be 
called.  8  That  is,  it  is  not  the  chil- 
dren of  the  flesh  that  are  children 
of  God ;  but  the  children  of  the 
promise  are  reckoned  for  a  seed,

6  But  it  is  not  as  though  the  word

ise. According  to  this  season  will  I 
come,  and  Sarah  shall  have  a  son.

hath  he  not  also,  with  him,  given  us  all 
things? 

33  Who  shall  accuse  against  the  elect  of 
God?     God  that  justifieth. 

34  Who  is  he  that  shall  condemn?

39  Nor  height,  nor  depth,  nor  any  other

2  That  I  have  great  sadness,  and  con- 
tinual sorrow  in  my  heart. 

3  For  I  wished  myself  to  be  an  anath- 
ema from  Christ,  for  my  brethren,  who 
are  my  kinsmen  according  to  the  flesh, 

4  Who  are  Israelites,  to  whom  belong- 
eth  the  adoption  as  of  children,  and  the 
glory,  and  the  testament,  and  the  giving

becca   also   had   conceived   by   one,    even 
by  our  father  Isaac; 

11  (For  the  children  being  not  yet  born, 
neither  having  done  any  good  or  evil, 
that  the  purpose  of  God  according  to 
election  might  stand,  not  of  works,  but 
of  him  that  calleth;) 

12  It  was  said  unto  her,  The  elder  shall 
serve  the  younger. 

13  As  it  is  written,  Jacob  have  I  loved, 
but  Esau  have  I  hated. 

14  What  shall  we  say  then?  Is  there 
unrighteousness  with  God?     God  forbid. 

15  For  he  saith  to  Moses,  I  will  have 
mercy  on  whom  I  will  have  mercy,  and 
I  will  have  compassion  on  whom  I  will 
have  compassion. 

16  So  then  it  is  not  of  him  that  willeth, 
nor  of  him  that  runneth,  but  of  God 
that  sheweth  mercy. 

17  For  the  scripture  saith  unto  Pharaoh, 
Even  for  this  same  purpose  have  I  raised 
thee  up,  that  I  might  shew  my  power  in 
thee,  and  that  my  name  might  be  de- 
clared throughout  all  the  earth. 

18  Therefore  hath  he  mercy  on  whom 
he  will  have  mercy,  and  whom  he  will  he 
hardeneth. 

19  Thou  wilt  say  then  unto  me,  Why 
doth  he  yet  find  fault?  For  who  hath 
resisted  his  will? 

20  Nay  but,  O  man,  who  art  thou  that 
repliest  against  God?  Shall  the  thing 
formed  say  to  him  that  formed  it,  Why 
hast  thou  made  me  thus? 

21  Hath  not  the  potter  power  over  the 
clay,  of  the  same  lump  to  make  one  ves- 
sel unto  honour,  and  another  unto  dis- 
honour? 

22  What  if  God,  willing  to  shew  his 
wrath,  and  to  make  his  power  known,  en- 
dured with  much  long-suffering  the  ves- 
sels of  wrath  fitted  to  destruction : 

23  And  that  he  might  make  known 
the  riches  of  his  glory  on  the  vessels  of 
mercy,  which  he  had  afore  prepared  unto 
glory, 

24  Even  us,  whom  he  hath  called,  not 
of  the  Jews  only,  but  also  of  the  Gen- 
tiles? 

25  As  he  saith  also  in  Osee,  I  will  call 
them  my  people,  which  were  not  my  peo- 
ple; and  her  beloved,  which  was  not  be- 
loved. 

26  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  in 
the  place  where  it  was  said  unto  them.  Ye 
are  not  my  people ;  there  shall  they  be 
called  the  children  of  the  living  God. 

27  Esaias    also    crieth    concerning    Is- 


ing  conceived  by  one,  even  by  our 
father  Isaac — 11  for  the  children 
being  not  yet  born,  neither  having 
done  anything  good  or  bad,  that  the 
purpose  of  God  according  to  elec- 
tion might  stand,  not  of  works,  but 
of  him  that  calleth,  12  it  was  said 
unto  her,  The  elder  shall  serve  the 
younger.  13  Even  as  it  is  written, 
Jacob  I  loved,  but  Esau  I  hated. 

14  What  shall  we  say  then?  Is 
there  unrighteousness  with  God? 
God  forbid.  15  For  he  saith  to  Mo- 
ses, I  will  have  mercy  on  whom  I 
have  mercy,  and  I  will  have  com- 
passion on  whom  I  have  compas- 
sion. 16  So  then  it  is  not  of  him 
that  willeth,  nor  of  him  that  run- 
neth, but  of  God  that  hath  mercy. 
17  For  the  scripture  saith  unto

I  raise  thee  up,  that  I  might  shew 
in  thee  my  power,  and  that  my 
name  might  be  published  abroad  in 
all  the  earth.  18  So  then  he  hath 
mercy  on  whom  he  will,  and  whom 
he  will  he  hardeneth. 

19  Thou  wilt  say  then  unto  me. 
Why  doth  he  still  find  fault?  For 
who  withstandeth  his  will?  20  Nay 
but,  O  man,  who  art  thou  that 
repliest  against  God?  Shall  the 
thing  formed  say  to  him  that 
formed  it,  Why  didst  thou  make 
me  thus?  21  Or  hath  not  the  pot- 
ter a  right  over  the  clay,  from  the 
same  lump  to  make  one  part  a  ves- 
sel unto  honour,  and  another  unto 
dishonour?  22  What  if  God,  will- 
ing to  shew  his  wrath,  and  to  make 
his  power  known,  endured  with 
much  longsuffering  vessels  of  wrath 
fitted  unto  destruction :  23  aijd  that 
he  might  make  known  the  riches  of 
his  glory  upon  vessels  of  mercy, 
which  he  afore  prepared  unto  glory, 
24  even  us,  whom  he  also  called, 
not  from  the  Jews  only,  but  also 
from  the  Gentiles?  25  As  he  saith 
also  in  Hosea, 

I  will  call  that  my  people,  which 

was  not  my  people; 
And  her  beloved,  which  was  not 

beloved. 
26  And  it  shall  be,  that  in  the  place 

where  it  was  said  unto  them, 

Ye  are  not  my  people, 
There  shall  they  be  called  sons 

of  the  living  God.

also  having  conceived  by  one,  even 
by  our  father  Isaac — 11  for  the 
children  being  not  yet  born,  neither 
having  done  anything  good  or  bad, 
that  the  purpose  of  God  according 
to  election  might  stand,  not  of 
works,  but  of  him  that  calleth,  12 
it  was  said  unto  her,  The  elder  shall 
serve  the  younger.  13  Even  as  it 
is  written,  Jacob  I  loved,  but  Esau 
I  hated. 

14  What  shall  we  say  then?  Is 
there  unrighteousness  with  God? 
God  forbid.  15  For  he  saith  to 
Moses,  I  will  have  mercy  on  whom 
I  have  mercy,  and  I  will  have  com- 
passion on  whom  I  have  compas- 
sion. 16  So  then  it  is  not  of  him 
that  willeth,  nor  of  him  that  run- 
neth, but  of  God  that  hath  mercy. 
17  For  the  scripture  saith  unto 
Pharaoh,  For  this  very  purpose  did 
I  raise  thee  up,  that  I  might  show 
in  thee  my  power,  and  that  my 
name  might  be  published  abroad  in 
all  the  earth.  18  So  then  he  hath 
mercy  on  whom  he  will,  and  whom 
he  will  he  hardeneth. 

19  Thou  wilt  say  then  unto  me, 
Why  doth  he  still  find  fault?  For 
who  withstandeth  his  will?  20  Nay 
but,  O  man,  who  art  thou  that  re- 
pliest  against  God  ?  Shall  the  thing 
formed  say  to  him  that  formed  it. 
Why    didst    thou    make    me    thus? 

21  Or  hath  not  the  potter  a  right 
over  the  clay,  from  the  same  lump 
to  make  one  part  a  vessel  unto 
honor,  and  another  unto  dishonor? 

22  What  if  God,  willing  to  show 
his  wrath,  and  to  make  his  power 
known,  endured  with  much  long- 
suffering  vessels  of  wrath  fitted 
unto  'destruction :  23  and  that  he 
might  make  known  the  riches  of 
his  glory  upon  vessels  of  mercy, 
which  he  afore  prepared  unto  glory, 
24  even  us,  whom  he  also  called,  not 
from  the  Jews  only,  but  also  from 
the  Gentiles?  25  As  he  saith  also 
in  Hosea, 

I  will  call  that  my  people,  which 
was  not  my  people ; 

And  her  beloved,  that  was  not 
beloved. 
26  And  it  shall  be,  that  in  the 
place  where  it  was  said  unto 
them,  Ye  are  not  my  peo- 
ple, 


becca    also    had    conceived    at    once,    of 
Isaac  our  father.' 

11  For  when  the  children  were  not  yet 
born,  nor  had  done  any  good  or  evil  (that 
the  purpose  of  God,  according  to  elec- 
tion,  might  stand,) 

12  Not  of  works,  but  of  him  that  call- 
eth, it  was  said  to  her:  The  elder  shall 
serve  the  younger. 

13  As  it  is  written :  Jacob  I  have  loved, 
but  Esau  I  have  hated. 

14  What  shall  we  say  then?  Is  there 
injustice  with  God?    God  forbid. 

15  For  he  saith  to  Moses:  /  will  have 
mercy  on  whom  I  will  have  mercy;  and  I 
will  shew  mercy  to  whom  I  will  shew 
mercy. 

16  So  then  it  is  not  of  him  that  willeth, 
nor  of  him  that  runneth,  but  of  God  that 
sheweth  mercy. 

17  For  the  scripture  saith  to  Pharao : 
To  this  purpose  have  I  raised  thee,  that 
I  may  shew  my  power  in  thee,  and  that 
my  name  may  be  declared  throughout  all 
the  earth. 

18  Therefore  he  hath  mercy  on  whom 
he  will ;  and  whom  he  will,  he  hardeneth. 

19  Thou  wilt  say  therefore  to  me :  Why 
doth  he  then  find  fault?  for  who  resist- 
eth  his  will? 

20  O  man,  who  art  thou  that  repliest 
against  God?  Shall  the  thing  formed  say 
to  him  that  formed  it:  Why  hast  thou 
made  me  thus? 

21  Or  hath  not  the  potter  power  over 
the  clay,  of  the  same  lump,  to  make  one 
vessel  unto  honour,  and  another  unto 
dishonour? 

22  What  if  God,  willing  to  shew  his 
wrath,  and  to  make  his  power  known, 
endured  with  much  patience  vessels  of 
wrath,  fitted  for  destruction, 

23  That  he  might  shew  the  riches  of  his 
glory  on  the  vessels  of  mercy,  which  he 
hath  prepared  unto  glory? 

24  Even  us,  whom  also  he  hath  called, 
not  only  of  the  Jews,  but  also  of  the  Gen- 
tiles. 

25  As  in  Osee  he  saith:  I  will  call  that 
which  was  not  my  people,  my  people;  and 
her  that  was  not  beloved,  beloved;  and 
her  that  had  not  obtained  mercy,  one 
that  hath  obtained  mercy. 

26  And  it  shall  be,  in  the  place  where  it 
was  said  unto  them.  You  are  not  my  peo- 
ple; there  they  shall  be  called  the  sons 
of  the  living  God.

remnant  shall  be  saved : 

28  For  he  will  finish  the  work,  and  cut 
it  short  in  righteousness :  because  a  short 
work  will  the  Lord  make  upjon  the  earth. 

29  And  as  Esaias  said  before,  Except 
the  Lord  of  Sabaoth  had  left  us  a  seed, 
we  had  been  as  Sodoma,  ^nd  been  made 
like  unto  Gomorrha. 

30  What  shall  we  say  then?  That  the 
Gentiles,  which  followed  not  after 
righteousness,  have  attained  to  righteous- 
ness, even  the  righteousness  which  is  of 
faith. 

31  But  Israel,  which  followed  after  the 
law  of  righteousness,  hath  not  attained  to 
the  law  of  righteousness. 

32  Wherefore?  Because  they  sought 
it  not  by  faith,  but  as  it  were  by  the 
works  of  the  law.  For  they  stumbled 
at  that  stumblingstone ; 

S3  As  it  is  written,  Behold,  I  lay  in 
Sion  a  stumblingstone  and  rock  of  of- 
fence: and  whosoever  believeth  on  him 
shall  not  be  ashamed. 


CHAPTER  10. 


27  And  Isaiah  crieth  concerning  Is- 
rael, If  the  number  of  the  children 
of  Israel  be  as  the  sand  of  the  sea, 
it  is  the  remnant  that  shall  be 
saved :  28  for  the  Lord  will  execute 
his  word  upon  the  earth,  finishing 
it  and  cutting  it  short.  29  And,  as 
Isaiah  hath  said  before, 

Except  the  Lord  of  Sabaoth  had 

left  us  a  seed. 
We  had  become  as  Sodom,  and 
had  been  made  like  unto  Go- 
morrah. 
30  What  shall  we  say  then?    That 
the    Gentiles,    which    followed    not 
after     righteousness,     attained     to 
righteousness,   even   the   righteous- 
ness which  is  of  faith :  31  but  Israel, 
following  after  a  law  of  righteous- 
ness,   did   not    arrive   at    that   law. 
32  Wherefore?  Because  they  sought 
it  not  by  faith,  but  as  it  were  by 
works.    They  stumbled  at  the  stone 
of  stumbling;  33  even  as  it  is  writ- 
ten, 

Behold,  I  lay  in  Zion  a  stone  of 
stumbling  and  a   rock  of  of- 
fence : 
And   he   that  believeth   on   him 
shall  not  be  put  to  shame. 


BRETHREN,    my   heart's   desire    and 
prayer   to    God    for    Israel    is,    that 
they  might  be  saved. 

2  For  I  bear  them  record  that  they 
have  a  zeal  of  God,  but  not  according  to 
knowledge. 

3  For  they  being  ignorant  of  God's 
righteousness,  and  going  about  to  estab- 
lish their  own  righteousness,  have  not 
submitted  themselves  unto  the  righteous- 
ness of  God. 

4  For  Christ  is  the  end  of  the  law  for 
righteousness  to  every  one  that  believeth. 

5  For  Moses  describeth  the  righteous- 
ness which  is  of  the  law,  That  the  man 
which  doeth  those  things  shall  live  by 
them. 

6  But  the  righteousness  which  is  of 
faith  speaketh  on  this  wise.  Say  not  in 
thine  heart,  Who  shall  ascend  into 
heaven?  (that  is,  to  bring  Christ  down 
from  above:) 

7  Or,  Who  shall  descend  into  the  deep? 
(that  is,  to  bring  up  Christ  again  from 
the  dead.) 

8  But  what  saith   it?      The  word  is 


"ORETHREN,  my  heart's  de-

God  is  for  them,  that  they  may  be

that  they  have  a  zeal  for  God,  but 
not  according  to  knowledge.  3  For 
being  ignorant  of  God's  righteous- 
ness, and  seeking  to  establish  their 
own,  they  did  not  subject  them- 
selves to  the  righteousness  of  God. 
4  For  Christ  is  the  end  of  the  law 
unto  righteousness  to  every  one 
that  believeth.  5  For  Moses  writeth 
that  the  man  that  doeth  the  right- 
eousness which  is  of  the  law  shall 
live  thereby.  6  But  the  righteous- 
ness which  is  of  faith  saith  thus, 
Say  not  in  thy  heart.  Who  shall 
ascend  into  heaven?  (that  is,  to 
bring  Christ  down:)  7  or.  Who 
shall  descend  into  the  abyss?  (that 
is,  to  bring  Christ  up  from  the 
dead.)  8  But  what  saith  it?  The

Behold,   I   lay  in   Zion   a  stone

And   he   that   believeth   on   him

writeth  that  the  man  that  doeth 
the  righteousness  which  is  of  the

30  What  then  shall  we  say  ?  That  the 
Gentiles,  who  followed  not  after  justice, 
have  attained  to  justice,  even  the  justice 
that  is  of  faith. 

31  But  Israel,  by  following  after  the 
law  of  justice,  is  not  come  unto  the  law 
of  justice. 

32  Why  so  ?  Because  they  sought  it  not 
by  faith,  but  as  it  were  of  works.  For 
they  stumbled  at  the  stumblingstone. 

33  As  it  is  written:  Behold  I  lay  in 
Sion  a  stumblingstone  and  a  rock  of 
scandal;  and  whosoever  believeth  in  him 
shall  not  be  confounded. 


CHAPTER  10. 

BRETHREN,  the  will  of  my  heart,  in- 
deed, and  my  prayer  to  God,  is  for 
them  unto  salvation. 

2  For  I  bear  them  witness,  that  they 
have  a  zeal  of  God,  but  not  according  to

3  For  they,  not  knowing  the  justice  of 
God,  and  seeking  to  establish  their  own, 
have  not  submitted  themselves  to  the 
justice  of  God. 

4  For  the  end  of  the  law  is  Christ,  unto 
justice  to  every  one  that  believeth. 

5  For  Moses  wrote,  that  the  justice 
which  is  of  the  law,  the  man  that  shall 
do  it,  shall  live  by  it. 

6  But  the  justice  which  is  of  faith,

7  Or  who  shall  descend  into  the  deep?' 
that  is,  to  bring  up  Christ  again  from 
the  dead.

nigh  thee,  even  in  thy  mouth,  and  in  thy 
heart:  that  is,  the  word  of  faith,  which 
we  preach; 

9  That  if  thou  shalt  confess  with  thy 
mouth  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  shalt  believe 
in  thine  heart  that  God  hath  raised  him 
from  the  dead,  thou  shalt  be  saved. 

ID  For  with  the  heart  man  believeth 
unto  righteousness ;  and  with  the  mouth 
confession  is  made  unto  salvation. 

11  For  the  scripture  saith.  Whosoever 
believeth  on  him  shall  not  be  ashamed. 

12  For  there  is  no  difference  between 
the  Jew  and  the  Greek:  for  the  same 
Lord  over  all  is  rich  unto  all  that  call 
upon  him. 

13  For  whosoever  shall  call  upon  the 
name  of  the  Lord  shall  be  saved. 

14  How  then  shall  they  call  on  him 
in  whom  they  have  not  believed?  and 
how  shall  they  believe  in  him  of  whom 
they  have  not  heard?  and  how  shall  they 
hear  without  a  preacher? 

15  And  how  shall  they  preach,  except 
they  be  sent?  as  it  is  written.  How  beau- 
tiful are  the  feet  of  them  that  preach 
the  gospel  of  peace,  and  bring  glad  tid- 
ings of  good  things! 

16  But  they  have  not  all  obeyed  the 
gospel.  For  Esaias  saith,  Lord,  who  hath 
believed  our  report? 

17  So  then  faith  cometh  by  hearing,  and 
hearing  by  the  word  of  God. 

18  But  I  say,  Have  they  not  heard? 
Yes  verily,  their  sound  went  into  all  the 
earth,  and  their  words  unto  the  ends  of 
the  world. 

19  But  I  say,  Did  not  Israel  know? 
First  Moses  saith,  I  will  provoke  you  to 
jealousy  by  them  that  are  no  people,  and 
by  a  foolish  nation  I  will  anger  you. 

20  But  Esaias  is  very  bold,  and  saith, 
I  was  found  of  them  that  sought  me  not ; 
I  was  made  manifest  unto  them  that 
asked  not  after  me. 

21  But  to  Israel  he  saith,  All  day  long 
I  have  stretched  forth  my  hands  unto  a 
disobedient  and  gainsaying  people. 


CHAPTER  II. 

I  SAY  then,  Hath  God  cast  away  his 
people?  God  forbid.  For  I  also  am 
an  Israelite,  of  the  seed  of  Abraham,  of 
the  tribe  of  Benjamin. 

2  God  hath  not  cast  away  his  people 


cause  if  thou  shalt  confess  with 
thy  mouth  Jesus  as  Lord,  and  shalt 
believe  in  thy  heart  that  God  raised 
him  from  the  dead,  thou  shalt  be 
saved:  10  for  with  the  heart  man 
believeth  unto  righteousness;  and 
with  the  mouth  confession  is  made 
unto  salvation.  11  For  the  scrip- 
ture saith,  Whosoever  believeth  on 
him  shall  not  be  put  to  shame. 
12  For  there  is  no  distinction  be- 
tween Jew  and  Greek :  for  the  same 
Lord  is  Lord  of  all,  and  is  rich 
unto  all  that  call  upon  him :  13  for, 
Whosoever  shall  call  upon  the  name 
of  the  Lord  shall  be  saved.  14  How 
then  shall  they  call  on  him  in 
whom  they  have  not  believed?  and 
how  shall  they  believe  in  him  whom 
they  have  not  heard?  and  how  shall 
they  hear  without  a  preacher?  15 
and  how  shall  they  preach,  except 
they  be  sent?  even  as  it  is  written. 
How  beautiful  are  the  feet  of  them 
that  bring  glad  tidings  of  good 
things ! 

16  But  they  did  not  all  hearken 
to  the  glad  tidings.  For  Isaiah 
saith.  Lord,  who  hath  believed  our 
report?  17  So  belief  cometh  of 
hearing,  and  hearing  by  the  word 
of  Christ.  18  But  I  say,  Did  they 
not  hear?     Yea,  verily, 

Their  sound  went  out  into  all 
the  earth. 

And  their  words  unto  the  ends 
of  the  world. 

19  But  I  say,  Did  Israel  not  know? 
First    Moses   saith, 

I  will  provoke  you  to  jealousy 
with  that  which  is  no  nation, 

With  a  nation  void  of  under- 
standing will  I  anger  you. 

20  And  Isaiah  is  very  bold,  and 
saith, 

I  was  found  of  them  that  sought 

me  not; 
I    became    manifest    unto    them 

that  asked  not  of  me. 

21  But  as  to  Israel  he  saith,  All  the 
day  long  did  I  spread  out  my  hands 
unto  a  disobedient  and  gainsaying

preach :  9  because  if  thou  shalt 
confess  with  thy  mouth  Jesus  as 
Lord,  and  shalt  believe  in  thy  heart 
that  God  raised  him  from  the  dead, 
thou  shalt  be  saved  :  10  for  with  the 
heart  man  believeth  unto  righteous- 
ness;  and  with  the  mouth  con- 
fession is  made  unto  salvation. 
II  For  the  scripture  saith,  Whoso- 
ever believeth  on  him  shall  not  be 
put  to  shame.  12  For  there  is  no 
distinction  between  Jew  and  Greek: 
for  the  same  Lord  is  Lord  of  all, 
and  is  rich  unto  all  that  call  upon 
him:  13  for,  Whosoever  shall  call 
upon  the  name  of  the  Lord  shall 
be  saved.  14  How  then  shall  they 
call  on  him  in  whom  they  have  not 
believed?  and  how  shall  they  be- 
lieve in  him  whom  they  have  not 
heard?  and  how  shall  they  hear 
without  a  preacher?  15  and  how 
shall  they  preach,  except  they  be 
sent?  even  as  it  is  written.  How 
beautiful  are  the  feet  of  them  that 
bring  glad  tidings  of  good  things ! 
16  But  they  did  not  all  hearken 
to  the  glad  tidings.  For  Isaiah 
saith,  Lord,  who  hath  believed  our 
report?  17  So  belief  cometh  of 
hearing,  and  hearing  by  the  word 
of  Christ.  18  But  I  say,  Did  they 
not  hear?     Yea,  verily, 

Their  sound  went  out  into  all 
the  earth. 

And  their  words  unto  the  ends 
of  the  world. 

19  But  I  say.  Did  Israel  not  know? 
First  Moses  saith, 

I  will  provoke  you  to  jealousy 
with  that  which  is  no  nation, 

With  a  nation  void  of  under- 
standing will  I  anger  you. 

20  And  Isaiah  is  very  bold,  and 
saith, 

I  was  found  of  them  that  sought 

me  not; 
I    became    manifest    unto    them 

that  asked  not  of  me. 

21  But  as  to  Israel  he  saith.  All 
the  day  long  did  I  spread  out  my 
hands  unto  a  disobedient  and  gain- 
saying people. 

T  SAY  then,  Did  God  cast  off 
HX  his  people?  God  forbid. 
For  I  also  am  an  Israelite,  of  the 
seed  of  Abraham,  of  the  tribe  of 
Benjamin.     2  God  did  not  cast  off 


9  For  if  thou  confess  with  thy  mouth 
the  Lord  Jesus,  and  believe  in  thy  heart 
that  God  hath  raised  him  up  from  the 
dead,  thou  shalt  be  saved. 

10  For,  with  the  heart,  we  believe  unto 
justice;  but,  with  the  mouth,  confession 
is  made  unto  salvation. 

11  For  the  scripture  saith:  Whosoever 
believeth  in  him,  shall  not  be  confounded. 

12  For  there  is  no  distinction  of  the 
Jew  and  the  Greek :  for  the  same  is  Lord 
over  all,  rich  unto  all  that  call  upon 
him. 

13  For  whosoever  shall  call  upon  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  shall  be  saved. 

14  How  then  shall  they  call  on  him,  in 
whom  they  have  not  believed?  Or  how 
shall  they  believe  him,  of  whom  they 
have  not  heard?  And  how  shall  they 
hear,  without  a  preacher? 

15  And  how  shall  they  preach  unless 
they  be  sent,  as  it  is  written :  How  beau- 
tiful are  the  feet  of  them  that  preach  the 
gospel  of  peace,  of  them  that  bring  glad 
tidings  of  good  things! 

16  But  all  do  not  obey  the  gospel.  For 
Isaias  saith :  Lord,  who  hath  believed  our 
report  f 

17  Faith  then  cometh  by  hearing;  and 
hearing  by  the  word  of  Christ. 

18  But  I  say:  Have  they  not  heard? 
Yes,  verily,  their  sound  hath  gone  forth 
into  all  the  earth,  and  their  words  unto 
the  ends  of  the  whole  world. 

19  But  I  say:  Hath  not  Israel  known? 
First,  Moses  saith :  /  will  provoke  you  to 
jealousy  by  that  which  is  not  a  nation;  by 
a  foolish  nation  I  will  anger  you. 

20  But  Isaias  is  bold,  and  saith :  /  was 
found  by  them  that  did  not  seek  me:  I  ap- 
peared openly  to  them  that  asked  not 
after  me. 

21  But  to  Israel  he  saith :  All  the  day 
long  have  I  spread  my  hands  to  a  people 
that  believeth  not,  and  contradicteth  me. 


CHAPTER  II. 

I  SAY  then:  Hath  God  cast  away  his 
people?  God  forbid.  For  I  also  am 
an  Israelite  of  the  seed  of  Abraham,  of 
the  tribe  of  Benjamin. 

2  God  hath  not  cast  away  his  people,

which  he  foreknew.  Wot  ye  not  what 
the  scripture  saith  of  Elias?  how  he 
maketh  intercession  to  God  against  Is- 
rael, saying, 

3  Lord,  they  have  killed  thy  prophets, 
and  digged  down  thine  altars;  and  I  am 
left  alone,  and  they  seek  my  life. 

4  But  what  saith  the  answer  of  God 
unto  him?  I  have  reserved  to  myself 
seven  thousand  men,  who  have  not  bowed 
the  knee  to  the  image  of  Baal. 

5  Even  so  then  at  this  present  time 
also  there  is  a  remnant  according  to  the 
election  of  grace. 

6  And  if  by  grace,  then  is  it  no  more 
of  works :  otherwise  grace  is  no  more 
grace.  But  if  it  be  of  works,  then  is  it 
no  more  grace :  otherwise  work  is  no 
more  work. 

7  What  then?  Israel  hath  not  obtained 
that  which  he  seeketh  for;  but  the  elec- 
tion hath  obtained  it,  and  the  rest  were 
blinded 

8  (According  as  it  is  written,  God 
hath  given  them  the  spirit  of  slumber, 
eyes  that  they  should  not  see,  and  ears 
that  they  should  not  hear;)  unto  this 
day. 

9  And  David  saith.  Let  their  table  be 
made  a  snare,  and  a  trap,  and  a  stum- 
blingblock,  and  a  recompence  unto  them: 

10  Let  their  eyes  be  darkened,  that 
they  may  not  see,  and  bow  down  their 
back  alway. 

11  I  say  then.  Have  they  stumbled  that 
they  should  fall  ?  God  forbid  :  but  rather 
through  their  fall  salvation  is  come  unto 
the  Gentiles,  for  to  provoke  them  to 
jealousy. 

12  Now  if  the  fall  of  them  be  the  riches 
of  the  world,  and  the  diminishing  of 
them  the  riches  of  the  Gentiles;  how 
much  more  their  fulness? 

13  For  I  speak  to  you  Gentiles,  inas- 
much as  I  am  the  apostle  of  the  Gentiles, 
I  magnify  mine  office: 

14  If  by  any  means  I  may  provoke  to 
emulation  them  which  are  my  flesh,  and 
might  save  some  of  them, 

15  For  if  the  casting  away  of  them  be 
the  reconciling  of  the  world,  what  shall 
the  receiving  of  them  be,  but  life  from 
the  dead? 

16  For  if  the  firstfruit  be  holy,  the 
lump  is  also  holy:  and  if  the  root  be 
holy,  so  are  the  branches. 

17  And  if  some  of  the  branches  be 
broken  off,  and  thou,  being  a  wild  olive 
tree,  wert  graffed   in  among  them,   and 


people  which  he  foreknew.  Or  wot 
ye  not  what  the  scripture  saith  of 
Elijah?  how  he  pleadeth  with  God 
against  Israel,  3  Lord,  they  have 
killed  thy  prophets,  they  have 
digged  down  thine  altars:  and  I 
am  left  alone,  and  they  seek  my 
life.  4  But  what  saith  the  answer 
of  God  unto  him?  I  have  left  for 
myself  seven  thousand  men,  who 
have  not  bowed  the  knee  to  Baal. 
5  Even  so  then  at  this  present  time 
also  there  is  a  remnant  according 
to  the  election  of  grace.  6  But  if 
it  is  by  grace,  it  is  no  more  of 
works:  otherwise  grace  is  no  more 
grace.  7  What  then?  That  which 
Israel  seeketh  for,  that  he  obtained 
not ;  but  the  election  obtained  it, 
and  the  rest  were  hardened :  8  ac- 
cording as  it  is  written,  God  gave 
them  a  spirit  of  stupor,  eyes  that 
they  should  not  see,  and  ears  that 
they  should  not  hear,  unto  this  very 
day.    9  And  David  saith, 

Let  their  table  be  made  a  snare, 
and  a  trap, 

And  a  stumblingblock,  and  a  rec- 
ompense unto  them : 

10  Let  their  eyes  be  darkened,  that 

they  may  not  see. 
And  bow  thou  down  their  back 
alway. 

11  I  say  then.  Did  they  stumble 
that  they  might  fall?  God  forbid: 
but  by  their  fall  salvation  is  come 
unto  the  Gentiles,  for  to  provoke 
them  to  jealousy.  12  Now  if  their 
fall  is  the  riches  of  the  world,  and 
their  loss  the  riches  of  the  Gentiles; 
how  much  more  their  fulness? 

13  But  I  speak  to  you  tha.t  are 
Gentiles.  Inasmuch  then  as  I  am 
an  apostle  of  Gentiles,  I  glorify  my 
ministry:  14  if  by  any  means  I  may 
provoke  to  jealousy  them  that  are 
my  flesh,  and  may  save  some  of 
them.  15  For  if  the  casting  away 
of  them  is  the  reconciling  of  the 
world,  what  shall  the  receiving  of

grafted  in  among  them,  and  didst

speak  to  you  that  are  Gentiles.  In- 
asmuch then  as  I  am  an  apostle  of 
Gentiles,  I  glorify  my  ministry ;  14 
if  by  any  means  I  may  provoke  to 
jealousy  them  that  are  my  flesh,  and 
may  save  some  of  them.  15  For  if 
the  casting  away  of  them  is  the 
reconciling  of  the  world,  what  shall 
the  receiving  of  them  he,  but  life 
from  the  dead?  16  And  if  the  first- 
fruit  is  holy,  so  is  the  lump:  and 
if  the  root  is  holy,  so  are  the 
branches.  17  But  if  some  of  the 
branches  were  broken  off,  and  thou, 
being  a  wild  olive,  wast  grafted  in 
among  them,  and  didst  become 
partaker  with  them  of  the  root 
of  the   fatness  of  the   olive  tree; 


which  he  foreknew.  Know  you  not  what 
the  scripture  saith  of  Elias ;  how  he  call- 
eth  on  God  against  Israel? 

3  Lord,  they  have  slain  thy  prophets, 
they  have  dug  down  thy  altars;  and  I  am 
left  alone,  and  they  seek  my  life. 

4  But  what  saith  the  divine  answer  to 
him  ?  /  have  left  me  seven  thousand  men, 
that  have  not  bowed  their  knees  to  Baal. 

5  Even  so  then  at  this  present  time  also, 
there  is  a  remnant  saved  according  to 
the  election  of  grace. 

6  And  if  by  grace,  it  is  not  now  by 
works :  otherwise  grace  is  no  more  grace. 

7  What  then?  That  which  Israel 
sought,  he  hath  not  obtained:  but  the 
election  hath  obtained  it;  and  the  rest 
have  been  blinded. 

8  As  it  is  written :  God  hath  given  them 
the  spirit  of  insensibility ;  eyes  that  they 
should  not  see;  and  ears  that  they  should 
not  hear,  until  this  present  day. 

9  And  David  saith :  Let  their  table  be 
made  a  snare,  and  a  trap,  and  a  stum- 
blingblock, and  a  recompense  unto  them. 

10  Let  their  eyes  be  darkened,  that  they 
may  not  see:  and  bow  down  their  back 
always. 

11  I  say  then,  have  they  so  stumbled, 
that  they  should  fall  ?  God  forbid.  But 
by  their  offence,  salvation  is  come  to  the 
Gentiles,  that  they  may  be  emulous  of 
them. 

12  Now  if  the  offence  of  them  be  the 
riches  of  the  world,  and  the  diminution 
of  them,  the  riches  of  the  Gentiles;  how 
much  more  the  fulness  of  them? 

13  For  I  say  to  you,  Gentiles:  as  long 
indeed  as  I  am  the  apostle  of  the  Gen- 
tiles,  I   will  honour  my  ministry, 

14  If,  by  any  means,  I  may  provoke  to 
emulation  them  who  are  my  flesh,  and 
may  save  some  of  them. 

15  For  if  the  loss  of  them  be  the  recon- 
ciliation of  the  world,  what  shall  the  re- 
ceiving of  them  be,  but  life  from  the 
dead? 

16  For  if  the  firstfruit  be  holy,  so  is  the 
lump  also:  and  if  the  root  be  holy,  so 
are  the  branches. 

17  And  if  some  of  the  branches  be 
broken,  and  thou,  being  a  wild  olive,  art 
ingrafted  in  them,  and  art  made  partaker 
of  the  root,  and  of  the  fatness  of  the 
olive  tree, 

18  Boast  not  against  the  branches.  But 
if  thou  boast,  thou  bearest  not  the  root, 
but  the  root  thee.

with    them    partakest    of    the    root    and 
fatness  of  the  olive  tree ; 

i8  Boast  not  against  the  branches.  But 
if  thou  boast,  thou  bearest  not  the  root, 
but  the  root  thee. 

19  Thou  wilt  say  then,  The  branches 
were  broken  oflf,  that  I  might  be  graffed 
in, 

20  Well ;  because  of  unbelief  they  were 
broken  off,  and  thou  standest  by  faith. 
Be  not  highminded,  but  fear : 

21  For  if  God  spared  not  the  natural 
branches,  take  heed  lest  he  also  spare  not 
thee. 

22  Behold  therefore  the  goodness  and 
severity  of  God :  on  them  which  fell, 
severity ;  but  toward  thee,  goodness,  if 
thou  continue  in  his  goodness:  otherwise 
thou  also»shalt  be  cut  off. 

23  And  they  also,  if  they  abide  not 
still  in  unbelief,  shall  be  graffed  in:  for 
God  is  able  to  graff  them  in  again. 

24  For  if  thou  wert  cut  out  of  the 
olive  tree  which  is  wild  by  nature,  and 
wert  graffed  contrary  to  nature  into  a 
good  olive  tree:  how  much  more  shall 
these,  which  be  the  natural  branches, 
be  graffed  into  their  own  olive  tree? 

25  For  I  would  not,  brethren,  that 
ye  should  be  ignorant  of  this  mystery, 
lest  ye  should  be  wise  in  your  own  con- 
ceits; that  blindness  in  part  is  happened 
to  Israel,  until  the  fulness  of  the  Gentiles 
be  come  in. 

26  And  so  all  Israel  shall  be  saved: 
as  it  is  written,  There  shall  come  out 
of  Sion  the  Deliverer,  and  shall  turn 
away  ungodliness  from  Jacob: 

27  For  this  is  my  covenant  unto  them, 
when  I  shall  take  away  their  sins. 

28  As  concerning  the  gospel,  they  are 
enemies  for  your  sakes :  but  as  touch- 
ing the  election,  they  are  beloved  for 
the  fathers'  sakes. 

29  For  the  gifts  and  calling  of  God 
are  without  repentance. 

30  For  as  ye  in  times  past  have  not  be- 
lieved God,  yet  have  now  obtained  mercy 
through  their  unbelief: 

31  Even  so  have  these  also  now  not  be- 
lieved, that  through  your  mercy  they  also 
may  obtain  mercy. 

32  For  God  hath  concluded  them  all  in 
unbelief,  that  he  might  have  mercy  upon 
all. 

33  O  the  depth  of  the  riches  both  of 
the  wisdom  and  knowledge  of  God !  how 
unsearchable  are  his  judgments,  and  his 
ways  past  finding  out! 


18  glory  not  over  the  branches :  but 
if  thou  gloriest,  it  is  not  thou  that 
bearest  the  root,  but  the  root  thee. 

19  Thou  wilt  say  then.  Branches 
were  broken  off,  that  I  might  be 
grafted  in.  20  Well;  by  their  un- 
belief they  were  broken  off,  and 
thou  standest  by  thy  faith.  Be 
not  highminded,  but  fear:  21  for 
if  God  spared  not  the  natural 
branches,  neither  will  he  spare  thee. 
22  Behold  then  the  goodness  and 
severity  of  God :  toward  them  that 
fell,  severity;  but  toward  thee, 
God's  goodness,  if  thou  continue 
in  his  goodness:  otherwise  thou 
also  shalt  be  cut  off.  23  And  they 
also,  if  they  continue  not  in  their 
unbelief,  shall  be  grafted  in :  for 
God  is  able  to  graft  them  in  again. 
24  For  if  thou  wast  cut  out  of  that 
which  is  by  nature  a  wild  olive  tree, 
and  wast  grafted  contrary  to  nature 
into  a  good  olive  tree :  how  much 
more  shall  these,  which  are  the  nat- 
ural branches,  be  grafted  into  their 
own  olive  tree? 

25  For  I  would  not,  brethren, 
have  you  ignorant  of  this  mystery, 
lest  ye  be  wise  in  your  own  conceits, 
that  a  hardening  in  part  hath  be- 
fallen Israel,  until  the  fulness  of 
the  Gentiles  be  come  in ;  26  and  so 
all  Israel  shall  be  saved :  even  as  it 
is  written, 

There  shall   come   out   of   Zion 

the  Deliverer; 
He  shall  turn  away  ungodliness 
from  Jacob: 

27  And  this   is   my   covenant  unto 

them, 
When   I   shall   take  away   their 
sins. 

28  As  touching  the  gospel,  they  are 
enemies  for  your  sake :  but  as 
touching  the  election,  they  are  be- 
loved for  the  fathers'  sake.  29  For 
the  gifts  and  the  calling  of  God  are 
without  repentance.  30  For  as  ye 
in  time  past  were  disobedient  to 
God,  but  now  have  obtained  mercy 
by  their  disobedience,  31  even  so 
have  these  also  now  been  disobedi- 
ent, that  by  the  mercy  shewn  to  you 
they  also  may  now  obtain  mercy. 
32  For  God  hath  shut  up  all  unto 
disobedience,  that  he  might  have 
mercy  upon  all.

not  highminded,  but  fear:  21  for 
if  God  spared  not  the  natural 
branches,  neither  will  he  spare  thee. 

22  Behold  then  the  goodness  and 
severity  of  God :  toward  them  that 
fell,  severity;  but  toward  thee, 
God's  goodness,  if  thou  con- 
tinue in  his  goodness:  other- 
wise   thou    also    shalt    be    cut   off. 

23  And  they  also,  if  they  continue 
not  in  their  unbeHef,  shall  be 
grafted  in:  for  God  is  able  to 
graft  them  in  again.  24  For  if  thou 
wast  cut  out  of  that  which  is  by 
nature  a  wild  olive  tree,  and  wast 
grafted  contrary  to  nature  into  a 
good  olive  tree;  how  much  more 
shall  these,  which  are  the  natural 
branches,  be  grafted  into  their  own 
olive  tree? 

25  For  I  would  not,  brethren, 
have  you  ignorant  of  this  mys- 
tery, lest  ye  be  wise  in  your  own 
conceits,  that  a  hardening  in  part 
hath  befallen  Israel,  until  the  ful- 
ness of  the   Gentiles  be  come  in; 

26  and  so  all  Israel  shall  be  saved : 
even  as  it  is  written, 

There   shall   come   out  of   Zion 

the  Deliverer; 
He  shall  turn  away  ungodliness 

from  Jacob : 

27  And  this  is  my  covenant  unto 

them, 
When   I   shall  take   away  their 
sins. 

28  As  touching  the  gospel,  they 
are  enemies  for  your  sake:  but  as 
touching  the  election,  they  are  be- 
loved for  the  fathers'  sake.  29 
For  the  gifts  and  the  calling  of 
God  are  not  repented  of.  30  For 
as  ye  in  time  past  were  disobedient 
to  God,  but  now  have  obtained 
mercy  by  their  disobedience,  31 
even  so  have  these  also  now  been 
disobedient,  that  by  the  mercy 
shown  to  you  they  also  may  now 
obtain  mercy.  32  For  God  hath 
shut  up  all  unto  disobedience,  that 
he   might  have   mercy   upon  all. 


were  broken  off,  that  I  might  be  grafted 
in. 

20  Well :  because  of  unbelief  they  were 
broken  off.  But  thou  standest  by  faith: 
be  not  highminded,  but  fear. 

21  For  if  God  hath  not  spared  the  nat- 
ural branches,  fear  lest  perhaps  he  also 
spare  not  thee. 

22  See  then  the  goodness  and  the' sever- 
ity of  God :  towards  them  indeed  that 
are  fallen,  the  severity ;  but  towards  thee, 
the  goodness  of  God,  if  thou  abide  in 
goodness,  otherwise  thou  also  shalt  be 
cut  off. 

23  And  they  also,  if  they  abide  not  still 
in  unbelief,  shall  be  grafted  in :  for  God 
is  able  to  graft  them  in  again. 

24  For  if  thou  wert  cut  out  of  the  wild 
olive  tree,  which  is  natural  to  thee;  and, 
contrary  to  nature,  were  grafted  into  the 
good  olive  tree;  how  much  more  shall 
they  that  are  the  natural  branches,  be 
grafted  into  their  own  olive  tree? 

25  For  I  would  not  have  you  ignorant, 
brethren,  of  this  mystery,  (lest  you 
should  be  wise  in  your  own  conceits), 
that  blindness  in  part  has  happened  in 
Israel,  until  the  fulness  of  the  Gentiles 
should  come  in. 

26  And  so  all  Israel  should  be  saved, 
as  it  is  written :  There  shall  come  out  of 
Sion,  he  that  shall  deliver,  and  shall  turn 
away  ungodliness  from  Jacob. 

27  And  this  is  to  them  my  covenant: 
when  I  shall  take  away  their  sins. 

28  As  concerning  the  gospel,  indeed, 
they  are  enemies  for  your  sake:  but  as 
touching  the  election,  they  are  most  dear 
for  the  sake  of  the  fathers. 

29  For  the  gifts  and  the  calling  of  God 
are  without  repentance. 

30  For  as  you  also  in  times  past  did 
not  believe  God,  but  now  have  obtained 
mercy,  through  their  unbelief; 

31  So  these  also  now  have  not  believed, 
for  your  mercy,  that  they  also  may  ob- 
tain mercy. 

32  For  God  hath  concluded  all  in  un- 
belief, that  he  may  have  mercy  on  all. 

33  O  the  depth  of  the  riches  of  the  wis- 
dom and  of  the  knowledge  of  God !  How 
incomprehensible  are  his  judgments,  and 
how  unsearchable  his  ways ! 

34  For  who  hath  known  the  mind  of 
the  Lord?  Or  who  hath  been  his  coun- 
sellor? 

35  Or  who  hath  first  given  to  him,  and 
recompense  shall  be  made  him? 

36  For  of  him,  and  by  him,  and  in  him,

by  the  mercies  of  God,  that  ye  present 
your  bodies  a  Hving  sacrifice,  holy,  ac-

LET  every  soul  be  subject  unto  the

2  Whosoever  therefore  resisteth  the 
power,  resisteth  the  ordinance  of  God : 
and  they  that  resist  shall  receive  to  them- 
selves damnation. 

3  For  rulers  are  not  a  terror  to  good 
works,  but  to  the  evil.  Wilt  thou  then 
not  be  afraid  of  the  power?  do  that  which 
is  good,  and  thou  shalt  have  praise  of 
the  same :

sword  in  vain :  for  he  is  the  minister  of 
God,  a  revenger  to  execute  wrath  upon 
him  that  doeth  evil. 

5  Wherefore  ye  must  needs  be  subject, 
not  only  for  wrath,  but  also  for  con- 
science sake. 

6  For  for  this  cause  pay  ye  tribute  also : 
for  they  are  God's  ministers,  attending 
continually  upon  this  very  thing.

for  things  honourable  in  the  sight

if  thine  enemy  hunger,  feed  him ;

that  resisteth  the  power,  withstand- 
eth  the  ordinance  of  God :  and  they 
that  withstand  shall  receive  to 
themselves  judgement.  3  For  rulers 
are  not  a  terror  to  the  good  work, 
but  to  the  evil.  And  wouldest  thou 
have  no  fear  of  the  power?  do  that

sword  in  vain  :  for  he  is  a  minister 
of  God,  an  avenger  for  wrath  to 
him  that  doeth  evil.  5  Wherefore 
ye  must  needs  be  in  subjection,  not 
only  because  of  the  wrath,  but  also 
for  conscience'  sake.  6  For  for 
this  cause  ye  pay  tribute  also ;  for 
they  are  ministers  of  God's  service, 
attending  continually  upon  this 
very  thing.  7  Render  to  all  their 
dues :  tribute  to  whom  tribute  is 
due:  custom  to  whom  custom;  fear 


15  Rejoice  with  them  that  rejoice;  weep 
with  them  that  weep. 

16  Being  of  one  mind  one  towards 
another.  Not  minding  high  things,  but 
consenting  to  ihe  humble.  Be  not  wise 
in  your  own  conceits. 

17  To  no  man  rendering  evil  for  evil. 
Providing  good  things,  not  only  in  the 
sight  of  God,  but  also  in  the  sight  of  all 
men. 

18  If  it  be  possible,  as  much  as  is  in 
you,  have  peace  with  all  men. 

19  Revenge  not  yourselves,  my  dearly 
beloved;  but  give  place  unto  wrath,  for 
it  is  written :  Revenge  is  mine,  I  will  re- 
pay, saith  the  Lord. 

20  But  if  thy  enemy  be  hungry,  give 
hint  to  eat;  if  he  thirst,  give  him  to  drink. 
For,  doing  this,  thou  shalt  heap  coals  of 
fire  upon  his  head. 

21  Be  not  overcome  by  evil,  but  over- 
come evil  by  good. 


CHAPTER  13. 

LET  every  soul  be  subject  to  higher 
powers :  for  there  is  no  power  but 
from  God:  and  those  that  are,  are  or- 
dained of  God. 

2  Therefore  he  that  resisteth  the  power, 
resisteth  the  ordinance  of  God.  And  they 
that  resist,  purchase  to  themselves  damna- 
tion. 

3  For  princes  are  not  a  terror  to  the 
good  work,  but  to  the  evil.  Wilt  thou 
then  not  be  afraid  of  the  power?  Do 
that  which  is  good :  and  thou  shalt  have 
praise  from  the  same. 

4  For  he  is  God's  minister  to  thee,  for 
good.  But  if  thou  do  that  which  is  evil, 
fear :  for  he  beareth  not  the  sword  in 
vain.  For  he  is  God's  minister :  an 
avenger  to  execute  wrath  upon  him  that 
doth  evil. 

5  Wherefore  be  subject  of  necessity, 
not  only  for  wrath,  but  also  for  con- 
science' sake. 

6  For  therefore  also  you  pay  tribute. 
For  they  are  the  ministers  of  God,  serv- 
ing unto  this  purpose. 

7  Render  therefore  to  all  men  their 
dues.  Tribute,  to  whom  tribute  is  due: 
custom,  to  whom  custom :  fear,  to  whom 
fear :  honour,  to  whom  honour.

rose,  and  revived,  that  he  might  be  Lord 
both  of  the  dead  and  living.

fore the  judgment  seat  of  Christ.

Lord,  every  knee  shall  bow  to  me,  and 
every  tongue  shall  confess  to  God. 

12  So  then  every  one  of  us  shall  give 
account  of  himself  to  God.

other any  more:  but  judge  this  rather, 
that  no  man  put  a  stumblingblock  or  an 
occasion  to  fall  in  his  brother's  way.

Lord  Jesus,  that  there  is  nothing  unclean 
of  itself:  but  to  him  that  esteemeth  any 
thing  to  be  unclean,  to  him  it  is  un- 
clean.

thy  meat,  now  walkest  thou  not  charitably. 
Destroy  not  him  with  thy  meat,  for  whom 
Christ  died. 

16  Let  not  then  your  good  be  evil 
spoken  of : 

17  For  the  kingdom  of  God  is  not  meat 
and  drink ;  but  righteousness,  and  peace, 
and  joy  in  the  Holy  Ghost. 

18  For  he  that  in  these  things  serveth 
Christ  is  acceptable  to  God,  and  approved

things  which  make  for  peace,  and  things 
wherewith  one  may  edify  another. 

20  For  meat  destroy  not  the  work  of 
God.  All  things  indeed  are  pure;  but  it 
is  evil  for  that  man  who  eateth  with  of- 
fence. 

21  It  is  good  neither  to  eat  flesh,  nor 
to  drink  wine,  nor  any  thing  whereby 
thy  brother  stumbleth,  or  is  offended,  or 
is  made  weak. 

22  Hast  thou  faith?  have  it  to  thyself 
before  God.  Happy  is  he  that  condemn- 
eth  not  himself  in  that  thing  which  he  al- 
loweth. 

23  And  he  that  doubteth  is  damned  if 
he  eat,  because  he  eateth  not  of  faith :  for 
whatsoever  is  not  of  faith  is  sin.

9  For  to  this  end  Christ  died,  and 
lived  again,  that  he  might  be  Lord 
of   both    the    dead   and   the    living.

thy  brother?  or  thou  again,  why 
dost  thou  set  at  nought  thy  brother? 
for  we  shall  all  stand  before  the

to  him  it  is  unclean.  15  For  if  be- 
cause of  meat  thy  brother  is 
grieved,  thou  walkest  no  longer  in 
love.  Destroy  not  with  thy  meat 
him  for  whom  Christ  died.  16  Let

deed are  clean ;  howbeit  it  is  evil 
for  that  man  who  eateth  with  of-

brother?  or  thou,  why  dost  thou  despise 
thy  brother?  For  we  shall  all  stand 
before  the  judgment  seat  of  Christ. 

11  For  it  is  written:  As  I  live,  saith 
the  Lord,  every  knee  shall  how  to  me, 
and  every  tongue  shall  confess  to 
God. 

12  Therefore  every  one  of  us  shall 
render  account  to  God  for  himself. 

13  Let  us  not  therefore  judge  one  an- 
other any  more.  But  judge  this  rather, 
that  you  put  not  a  stumblingblock  or  a 
scandal   in  your  brother's  way. 

14  I  know,  and  am  confident  in  the 
Lord  Jesus,  that  nothing  is  unclean  of 
itself;  but  to  him  that  esteemeth  any 
thing  to  be  unclean,  to  him  it  is 
unclean. 

15  For  if,  because  of  thy  meat,  thy 
brother  be  grieved,  thou  walkest  not  now 
according  to  charity.  Destroy  not  him 
with  thy  meat,  for  whom  Christ  died. 

16  Let  not  then  our  good  be  evil  spoken 
of. 

17  For  the  kingdom  of  God  is  not  meat 
and  drink;  but  justice,  and  peace,  and 
joy  in  the  Holy  Ghost. 

18  For  he  that  in  this  serveth  Christ, 
pleaseth  God,  and  is  approved  of 
men. 

19  Therefore  let  us  follow  after  thes 
things  that  are  of  peace;  and  keep  the 
things  that  are  of  edification  one  towards 
another.    , 

20  Destroy  not  the  work  of  God  for 
meat.  All  things  indeed  are  clean :  but 
it  is  evil  for  that  man  who  eateth  with, 
offence. 

21  it  is  good  not  to  eat  flesh,  and  not 
to  drink  wine,  nor  any  thing  whereby 
thy  brother  is  offended,  or  scandalized^ 
or  made  weak. 

22  Hast  thou  faith?  Have  it  to  thyself 
before  God.  Blessed  is  he  that  con- 
demneth  not  himself  in  that  which  he 
alloweth. 

23  But  he  that  discerneth,  if  he  eat,  is 
condemned ;  because  not  of  faith.  Fo^ 
alii  that  is  not  of  faith  is  sin.

WE  then  that  are  strong  ought  to  bear 
the  infirmities  of  the  weak,  and  not 
to  please  ourselves. 

2  Let  every  one  of  us  please  his 
neighbour  for  his  good  to  edification. 

3  For  even  Christ  pleased  not  him- 
self; but,  as  it  is  written,  The  reproaches 
of  them  that  reproached  thee  fell  on 
me. 

4  For  whatsoever  things  were  written 
aforetime  were  written  for  our  learning, 
that  we  through  patience  and  comfort  of 
the  scriptures  might  have  hope. 

5  Now  the  God  of  patience  and  con- 
solation grant  you  to  be  likeminded 
one  toward  another  according  to  Christ 
Jesus : 

6  That  ye  may  with  one  mind  and  one 
mouth  glorify  God,  even  the  Father  of 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

7  Wherefore  receive  ye  one  another,  as 
Christ  also  received  us  to  the  glory  of 
God. 

8  Now  I  say  that  Jesus  Christ  was  a 
minister  of  the  circumcision  for  the  truth 
of  God,  to  confirm  the  promises  made 
unto  the  fathers: 

9  And  that  the  Gentiles  might  glorify 
God  for  his  mercy;  as  it  is  written,  For 
this  cause  I  will  confess  to  thee  among 
the  Gentiles,  and  sing  unto  thy  name. 

ID  And  again  he  saith.  Rejoice,  ye  Gen- 
tiles, with  his  people. 

11  And  again.  Praise  the  Lord,  all  ye 
Gentiles ;  and  laud  him,  all  ye  people. 

12  And  again,  Esaias  saith,  There  shall 
be  a  root  of  Jesse,  and  he  that  shall  rise 
to  reign  over  the  Gentiles;  in  him  shall 
the  Gentiles  trust. 

13  Now  the  God  of  hope  fill  you  with 
all  joy  and  peace  in  believing,  that  ye  may 
abound  in  hope,  through  the  power  of 
the  Holy  Ghost. 

14  And  I  myself  also  am  persuaded 
of  you,  my  brethren,  that  ye  also  are  full 
of  goodness,  filled  with  all  knowledge, 
able  also  to  admonish  one  another. 

15  Nevertheless,  brethren,  I  have  writ- 
ten the  more  boldly  unto  you  in  some 
sort,  as  putting  you  in  mind,  because  of 
the  grace  that  is  given  to  me  of  God, 

16  That  I  should  be  the  minister  of 
Jesus  Christ  to  the  Gentiles,  ministering 
the  gospel  of  God,  that  the  offering  up 
of  the  Gentiles  might  be  acceptable,  being 
sanctified  by  the  Holy  Ghost. 

17  I    have    therefore    whereof    I    may 


/VTOW  we  that  are  strong 
I5-L^  ought  to  bear  the  infirmities 
of  the  weak,  and  not  to  please 
ourselves.  2  Let  each  one  of  us 
please  his  neighbour  for  that  which 
is  good,  unto  edifying.  3  For  Christ 
also  pleased  not  himself ;  but,  as  it 
is  written.  The  reproaches  of  them 
that  reproached  thee  fell  upon  me. 
4  For  whatsoever  things  were  writ-

through  comfort  of  the  scriptures

God  of  patience  and  of  comfort 
grant  you  to  be  of  the  same  mind 
one  with  another  according  to 
Christ  Jesus  :  6  that  with  one  accord 
ye  may  with  one  mouth  glorify  the 
God  and  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ.  7  Wherefore  receive  ye  one 
another,  even  as  Christ  also  re- 
ceived you,  to  the  glory  of  God. 
8  For  I  say  that  Christ  hath  been 
made  a  minister  of  the  circumcision 
for  the  truth  of  God,  that  he  might 
confirm  the  promises  given  unto 
the  fathers,  9  and  that  the  Gentiles 
might  glorify  God  for  his  mercy; 
as  it  is  written. 

Therefore  will  I  give  praise  unto 
thee  among  the  Gentiles, 

And  sing  unto  thy  name. 
ID  And  again  he  saith. 

Rejoice,    ye    Gentiles,    with    his 
people. 

11  And  again. 

Praise  the  Lord,  all  ye  Gentiles ; 
And   let   all   the   peoples   praise 
him. 

12  And  again,  Isaiah  saith. 
There    shall    be    the    root    of 

Jesse, 
And  he  that  ariseth  to  rule  over 

the  Gentiles; 
On  him  shall  the  Gentiles  hope. 

13  Now  the  God  of  hope  fill  you 
with  all  joy  and  peace  in  believing, 
that  ye  may  abound  in  hope,  in  the 
power  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

14  And  I  myself  also  am  per- 
suaded of  you,  my  brethren,  that 
ye  yourselves  are  full  of  goodness, 
filled  with  all  knowledge,  able  also

which  pertain  to  God. 

18  For  I  will  not  dare  to  speak  of  any 
of  those  things  which  Christ  hath  not 
wrought  by  me,  to  make  the  Gentiles 
obedient,  by  word  and  deed, 

19  Through  mighty  signs  and  wonders, 
by  the  power  of  the  Spirit  of  God ;  so 
that  from  Jerusalem,  and  round  about 
unto  Illyricum,  I  have  fully  preached  the 
gospel  of  Christ. 

20  Yea,  so  have  I  strived  to  preach  the 
gospel,  not  where  Christ  was  named,  lest 
I  should  build  upon  another  man's  foun- 
dation : 

21  But  as  it  is  written,  To  whom  he 
was  not  spoken  of,  they  shall  see :  and 
they  that  have  not  heard  shall  under- 
stand. 

22  For  which  cause  also  I  have  been 
much  hindered  from  coming  to  you. 

23  But  now  having  no  more  place  in 
these  parts,  and  having  a  great  de- 
sire these  many  years  to  come  unto 
you; 

24  Whensoever  I  take  my  journey  into 
Spain,  I  will  come  to  you:  for  I  trust  to 
see  you  in  my  journey,  and  to  be  brought 
on  my  way  thitherward  by  you,  if  first  I 
be  somewhat  filled  with  your  company. 

25  But  now  I  go  unto  Jerusalem  to 
minister  unto  the  saints. 

26  For  it  hath  pleased  them  of  Mace- 
donia and  Achaia  to  make  a  certain  con- 
tribution for  the  poor  saints  which  are 
at  Jerusalem. 

27  It  hath  pleased  them  verily;  and 
their  debtors  they  are.  For  if  the  Gen- 
tiles have  been  made  partakers  of  their 
spiritual  things,  their  duty  is  also  to  min- 
ister unto  them  in  carnal  things. 

28  When  therefore  I  have  performed 
this,  and  have  sealed  to  them  this  fruit, 
I  will  come  by  you  into  Spain. 

29  And  I  am  sure  that,  when  I  come 
unto  you,  I  shall  come  in  the  fulness  of 
the  blessing  of  the  gospel  of  Christ. 

30  Now  I  beseech  you,  brethren,  for  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ's  sake,  and  for  the 
love  of  the  Spirit,  that  ye  strive  together 
with  me  in  your  prayers  to  God  for 
me; 

31  That  I  may  be  delivered  from  them 
that  do  not  believe  in  Judsea ;  and  that 
my  service  which  /  have  for  Jerusalem 
may  be  accepted  of  the  saints ; 

32  That  I  may  come  unto  you  with 
joy  by  the  will  of  God,  and  may  with  you 
be  refreshed, 


16  that  I  should  be  a  minister  of 
Christ  Jesus  unto  the  Gentiles, 
ministering  the  gospel  of  God, 
that  the  offering  up  of  the  Gentiles 
might  be  made  acceptable,  being

minister  unto  the  saints. 

26  For  it  hath  pleased  them  of  Macedo- 
nia and  Achaia  to  make  a  contribution 
for  the  poor  of  the  saints  that  are  in 
Jerusalem. 

27  For  it  hath  pleased  them;  and  they 
are  their  debtors.  For  if  the  Gentiles 
have  been  made  partakers  of  their  spir- 
itual things,  they  ought  also  in  carnal 
things  to  minister  to  them. 

28  When  therefore  I  shall  have  accom- 
plished this,  and  consigned  to  them  this 
fruit,  I  will  come  by  you  into  Spain. 

29  And  I  know,  that  when  I  come  to 
you,  I  shall  come  in  the  abundance  of 
the  blessing  of  the  gospel  of  Christ. 

30  I  beseech  you  therefore,  brethren, 
through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  by 
the  charity  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  that  you 
help  me  in  your  prayers  for  me  to 
God, 

31  That  I  may  be  delivered  from  the 
unbelievers  that  are  in  Judea,  and  that 
the  oblation  of  my  service  may  be  ac- 
ceptable in  Jerusalem  to  the  saints. 

32  That  I  may  come  to  you  with  joy,  by 
the  will  of  God,  and  may  be  refreshed 
with  you.

CHAPTER  I. 

PAUL,  called  to  be  an  apostle  of  Jesus 
Christ  through  the  will  of  God,  and 
Sosthenes   our  brother, 

2  Unto  the  church  of  God  which  is 
at  Corinth,  to  them  that  are  sanctified  in 
Christ  Jesus,  called  to  be  saints,  with  all 
that  in  every  place  'call  upon  the  name 
of  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord,  both  their's 
and  our's : 

3  Grace  be  unto  you,  and  peace,  from 
God  our  Father,  and  from  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ. 

4  I  thank  my  God  always  on  your  be- 
half, for  the  grace  of  God  which  is  given 
you  by  Jesus  Christ ; 

5  That  in  every  thing  ye  are  enriched 
by  him,  in  all  utterance,  and  in  all  knowl- 
edge; 

6  Even  as  the  testimony  of  Christ  was 
confirmed  in  you : 

7  So  that  ye  come  behind  in  no  gift; 
waiting  for  the  coming  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ : 

8  Who  shall  also  confirm  you  unto  the 
end,  that  ye  may  be  blameless  in  the  day 
of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

9  God  is  faithful,  by  whom  ye  were 
called  unto  the  fellowship  of  his  Son 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

10  Now  I  beseech  you,  brethren,  by  the 
name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  that  ye 
all  speak  the  same  thing,  and  that  there 
be  no  divisions  among  you;  but  that 
ye  be  perfectly  joined  together  in  the 
same  mind  and  in  the  same  judgment. 

11  For  it  hath  been  declared  unto  me 
of  you,  my  brethren,  by  them  which  are 
of  the  house  of  Chloe,  that  there  are  con- 
tentions among  you. 

12  Now  this  I  say,  that  every  one  of 
you  saith,  I  am  of  Paul ;  and  I  of  Apollos ; 
and  I  of  Cephas;  and  I  of  Christ. 

13  Is  Christ  divided?  was  Paul  cruci- 
fied for  you?  or  were  ye  baptized  in 
the  name  of  Paul? 

14  I  thank  God  that  I  baptized  none  of 
you,  but  Crispus  and  Gains; 

15  Lest  any  should  say  that  I  had  bap- 
tized in  mine  own  name.

which  was  given  you  in  Christ  Je-

enriched  in  him,  in  all  utterance 
and  all  knowledge ;  6  even  as  the 
testimony  of  Christ  was  confirmed 
in  you :  7  so  that  ye  come  behind 
in  no  gift ;  waiting  for  the  reve- 
lation  of   our    Lord    Jesus    Christ ;

the  end,  that  ye  be  unreprovable 
in  the  day  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

9  Grod  is  faithful,  through  whom 
ye  were  called  into  the  fellowship 
of  his   Son  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

10  Now  I  beseech  you,  brethren, 
through  the  name  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  that  ye  all  speak  the 
same  thing,  and  that  there  be  no 
divisions  among  you;  but  that  ye 
be  perfected  together  in  the  same 
mind  and  in  the  same  judgement.

me  concerning  you,  my  brethren, 
by  them  which  are  of  the  household

mean,  that  each  one  of  you  saith,

CHAPTER  I. 

PAUL,  called  to  he  an  apostle  of  Jesus 
Christ  by  the  will  of  God,  and  Sos- 
thenes a  brother, 

2  To  the  church  of  God  that  is  at  Cor- 
inth, to  them  that  are  sanctified  in  Christ 
Jesus,  called  to  be  saints,  with  all  that 
invoke  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
in  every  place  of  theirs  and  ours. 

3  Grace  to  you,  and  peace  from  God 
our  Father,  and  from  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ. 

4  I  give  thanks  to  my  God  always  for 
you,  for  the  grace  of  God  that  is  given 
you  in  Christ  Jesus, 

5  That  in  all  things  you  are  made  rich 
in  him,  in  all  utterance,  and  in  all  knowl- 
edge; 

6  As  the  testimony  of  Christ  was  con- 
firmed in  you, 

7  So  that  nothing  is  wanting  to  you  in 
any  grace,  waiting  for  the  manifestation 
of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

8  Who  also  will  confirm  you  unto  the 
end  without  crime,  in  the  day  of  the 
coming  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

9  God  is  faithful :  by  whom  you  are 
called  unto  the  fellowship  of  his  Son 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

10  Now  I  beseech  you,  brethren,  by  the 
name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  that  you 
all  speak  the  same  thing,  and  that  there 
be  no  schisms  among  you ;  but  that  you 
be  perfect  in  the  same  mind,  and  in  the 
same  judgment. 

11  For  it  hath  been  signified  unto  me, 
my  brethren,  of  you,  by  them  that  are  of 
the  house  of  Chloe,  that  there  are  con- 
tentions among  you. 

12  Now  this  I  say,  that  every  one  of 
you  saith  :  I  indeed  am  of  Paul ;  and  I  am 
of  Apollo ;  and  I  of  Cephas ;  and  I  of 
Christ. 

13  Is  Christ  divided?  Was  Paul  then 
crucified  for  you?  or  were  you  baptized 
in  the  name  of  Paul? 

14  I  give  God  thanks,  that  I  baptized 
none  of  you  but  Crispus  and  Caius; 

15  Lest  any  should  say  that  you  were 
baptized  in  my  name.

of     Stephanas :     besides,     I     know     not 
whether  I  baptized  any  other. 

17  For  Christ  sent  me  not  to  baptize, 
but  to  preach  the  gospel :  not  with  wisdom 
of  words,  lest  the  cross  of  Christ  should 
be  made  of  none  effect. 

18  For  the  preaching  of  the  cross  is 
to  them  that  perish  foolishness;  but  unto 
us  which  are  saved  it  is  the  power  of 
God. 

19  For  it  is  written,  I  will  destroy  the 
wisdom  of  the  wise,  and  will  bring  to 
nothing  the  understanding  of  the  prudent. 

20  Where  is  the  wise?  where  is  the 
scribe?  where  is  the  disputer  of  this 
world?  hath  not  God  made  foolish  the 
wisdom  of  this  world? 

21  For  after  that  in  the  wisdom  of 
God  the  world  by  wisdom  knew  not  God, 
it  pleased  God  by  the  foolishness  of 
preaching  to  save  them  that  believe. 

22  For  the  Jews  require  a  sign,  and 
the  Greeks  seek  after  wisdom : 

23  But  we  preach  Christ  crucified,  unto 
the  Jews  a  stumblingblock,  and  unto  the 
Greeks  foolishness ; 

24  But  unto  them  which  are  called,  both 
Jews  and  Greeks,  Christ  the  power  of 
God,  and  the  wisdom  of  God. 

25  Because  the  foolishness  of  God  is 
wiser  than  men ;  and  the  weakness  of 
God  is  stronger  than  men. 

26  For  ye  see  your  calling,  brethren, 
how  that  not  many  wise  men  after  the 
flesh,  not  many  mighty,  not  many  noble, 
are   called: 

27  But  God  hath  chosen  the  foolish 
things  of  the  world  to  confound  the  wise ; 
and  God  hath  chosen  the  weak  things  of 
the  world  to  confound  the  things  which 
are  mighty ; 

28  And  base  things  of  the  world,  and 
things  which  are  despised,  hath  God 
chosen,  yea,  and  things  which  are  not, 
to  bring  to  nought  things  that  are: 

29  That  no  flesh  should  glory  in  his 
presence. 

30  But  of  him  are  ye  in  Christ  Jesus, 
who  of  God  is  made  unto  us  wisdom,  and 
righteousness,  and  sanctification,  and  re- 
demption : 

31  That,  according  as  it  is  written.  He 
that  glorieth,  let  him  glory  in  the  Lord. 


not  whether  I  baptized  any  other. 
17  For  Christ  sent  me  not  to  bap- 
tize, but  to  preach  the  gospel :  not 
in  wisdom  of  words,  lest  the  cross 
of   Christ   should    be   made   void. 

18  For  the  word  of  the  cross  is 
to  them  that  are  perishing  foolish- 
ness ;  but  unto  us  which  are  being 
saved    it    is    the    power    of    God, 

19  For  it  is  written, 

I  will  destroy  the  wisdom  of 
the  wise, 

And  the  prudence  of  the  pru- 
dent will  I  reject. 

20  Where  is  the  wise?  where  is 
the  scribe?  where  is  the  disputer  of 
this  world?  hath  not  God  made 
foolish   the   wisdom   of  the   world? 

21  For  seeing  that  in  the  wisdom  of 
God  the  world  through  its  wisdom 
knew  not  God,  it  was  God's  good 
pleasure  through  the  foolishness  of 
the  preaching  to  save  them  that 
believe.  22  Seeing  that  Jews  ask 
for  signs,  and  Greeks  seek  after 
wisdom :  23  but  we  preach  Christ 
crucified,  unto  Jews  a  stumbling-

ness; 24  but  unto  them  that  are 
called,  both  Jews  and  Greeks, 
Christ  the  power  of  God,  and  the 
wisdom  of  God.  25  Because  the 
foolishness  of  God  is  wiser  than 
men;  and  the  weakness  of  God  is 
stronger  than  men. 

26  For  behold  your  calling,  breth- 
ren, how  that  not  many  wise  after 
the  flesh,  not  many  mighty,  not 
many  noble,  are  called:  27  but  God 
chose  the  foolish  things  of  the 
world,  that  he  might  put  to  shame 
them  that  are  wise ;  and  God  chose 
the  weak  things  of  the  world,  that 
he  might  put  to  shame  the  things 
that  are  strong;  28  and  the  base 
things  of  the  world,  and  the  things 
that  are  despised,  did  God  choose, 
yea  and  the  things  that  are  not, 
that  he  might  bring  to  nought  the 
things  that  are:  29  that  no  flesh 
should  glory  before  God.  30  But  of 
him  are  ye  in  Christ  Jesus,  who  was 
made  unto  us  wisdom  from  God, 
and  righteousness  and  sanctifica- 
tion, and  redemption:  31  that, 
according  as  it  is  written.  He  that

the  gospel :  not  in  wisdom  of

CHAPTER  2. 

AND  I,  brethren,  when  I  came  to  you, 
came  not  with  excellency  of  speech 
or  of  wisdom,  declaring  unto  you  the 
testimony  of  God. 

2  For  I  determined  not  to  know  any 
thing  among  you,  save  Jesus  Christ,  and 
him  crucified. 

3  And  I  was  with  you  in  weakness, 
and  in  fear,  and  in  much  trembling. 

4  And  my  speech  and  my  preaching 
was  not  with  enticing  words  of  man's 
wisdom,  but  in  demonstration  of  the  Spirit 
and  of  power: 

5  That  your  faith  should  not  stand  in 
the  wisdom  of  men,  but  in  the  power  of 
God. 

6  Howbeit  we  speak  wisdom  among 
them  that  are  perfect :  yet  not  the  wisdom 
of  this  world,  nor  of  the  princes  of  this 
world,  that  come  to  nought : 

7  But  we  speak  the  wisdom  of  God 
in  a  mystery,  even  the  hidden  wisdom, 
which  God  ordained  before  the  world  unto 
our  glory: 

8  Which  none  of  the  princes  of  this 
world  knew :  for  had  they  known  it,  they 
would  not  have  crucified  the  Lord  of 
glory, 

9  But  as  it  is  written,  Eye  hath  not 
seen,  nor  ear  heard,  neither  have  entered 
into  the  heart  of  man,  the  things  which 
God  hath  prepared  for  them  that  love 
him. 

10  But  God  hath  revealed  them  unto 
us  by  his  Spirit :  for  the  Spirit  searcheth 
all  things,  yea,  the  deep  things  of  God. 

11  For  what  man  knoweth  the  things 
of  a  man,  save  the  spirit  of  man  which 
is  in  him?  even  so  the  things  of  God 
knoweth  no  man,  but  the  Spirit  of 
God. 

12  Now  we  have  received,  not  the  spirit 
of  the  world,  but  the  spirit  which  is  of 
God ;  that  we  might  know  the  things  that 
are  freely  given  to  us  of  God. 

13  Which  things  also  we  speak,  not  in 
the  words  which  man's  wisdom  teacheth, 
but  which  the  Holy  Ghost  teacheth ;  com- 
paring spiritual  things  with  spiritual. 

14  But  the  natural  man  receiveth  not 
the  things  of  the  Spirit  of  God:  for  they 
are  foolishness  unto  him :  neither  can  he 
know  them,  because  they  are  spiritually 
discerned. 

15  But  he  that  is  spiritual  judgeth  all 
things,  yet  he  himself  is  judged  of  no  man. 

16  For  who  hath  known  the  mind  of 


A  ND  I,  brethren,  when  I  came 
^J^  unto  you,  came  not  with  ex- 
cellency of  speech  or  of  wisdom, 
proclaiming  to  you  the  mystery  of 
God.  2  For  I  determined  not  to 
know  anything  among  you,  save 
Jesus  Christ,  and  him  crucified. 
3  And  I  was  with  you  in  weakness, 
and  in  fear,  and  in  much  trem- 
bling. 4  And  my  speech  and  my 
preaching  were  not  in  persuasive 
words  of  wisdom,  but  in  demon- 
stration of  the  Spirit  and  of  power : 
5  that  your  faith  should  not  stand 
in  the  wisdom  of  men,  but  in  the 
power  of  God. 

6  Howbeit  we  speak  wisdom 
among  the  perfect:  yet  a  wisdom 
not  of  this  world,  nor  of  the 
rulers  of  this  world,  which  are 
coming  to  nought :  7  but  we  speak 
God's  wisdom  in  a  mystery,  even 
the  wisdom  that  hath  been  hid- 
den, which  God  foreordained  before 
the  worlds  unto  our  glory :  8  which 
none  of  the  rulers  of  this  world 
knoweth:  for  had  they  known  it, 
they  would  not  have  crucified  the 
Lord  of  glory :  9  but  as  it  is  written. 
Things  which  eye  saw  not,  and 

ear  heard  not, 
And  which  entered  not  into  the 

heart  of  man, 
Whatsoever  things  God  pre- 
pared for  them  that  love  him. 
ID  But  unto  us  God  revealed 
them  through  the  Spirit:  for  the 
Spirit  searcheth  all  things,  yea,  the 
deep  things  of  God.  11  For  who 
among  men  knoweth  the  things  of 
a  man,  save  the  spirit  of  the  man, 
which  is  in  him?  even  so  the  things 
of  God  none  knoweth,  save  the 
Spirit  of  God.  12  But  we  received, 
not  the  spirit  of  the  world,  but 
the  spirit  which  is  of  God;  that  we 
might  know  the  things  that  are 
freely  given  to  us  by  God.  13 
Which  things  also  we  speak,  not 
in  words  which  man's  wisdom 
teacheth,  but  which  the  Spirit 
teacheth ;  comparing  spiritual  things 
with  spiritual.  14  Now  the  natural 
man  receiveth  not  the  things  of  the 
Spirit  of  God :  for  they  are  fool-

A  -^^  I'  brethren,  when  I  came 
2x\.  unto  you,  came  not  with  ex- 
cellency of  speech  or  of  wisdom, 
proclaiming  to  you  the  testimony 
of  God.  2  For  I  determined  not 
to  know  anything  among  you,  save 
Jesus  Christ,  and  him  crucified.  3 
And  I  was  with  you  in  weakness, 
and  in  fear,  and  in  much  trem- 
bling. 4  And  my  speech  and  my 
preaching  were  not  in  persuasive 
words  of  wisdom,  but  in  demon- 
stration of  the  Spirit  and  of  power : 
5  that  your  faith  should  not  stand 
in  the  wisdom  of  men,  but  in  the 
power  of  God. 

6  We  speak  wisdom,  however, 
among  them  that  are  fullgrown : 
yet  a  wisdom  not  of  this  world, 
nor  of  the  rulers  of  this  world, 
who  are  coming  to  nought:  7  but 
we  speak  God's  wisdom  in  a  mys- 
tery, even  the  wisdom  that  hath 
been  hidden,  which  God  foreor- 
dained before  the  worlds  unto  our 
glory:  8  which  none  of  the  rulers 
of  this  world  hath  known:  for  had 
they  known  it,  they  would  not  have 
crucified  the  Lord  of  glory:  9  but 
as   it  is   written. 

Things  which  eye  saw  not,  and 

ear  heard  not. 
And  which  entered  not  into  the 

heart  of  man. 
Whatsoever  things  God  pre- 
pared for  them  that  love 
him. 
10  But  unto  us  God  revealed  them 
through  the  Spirit:  for  the  Spirit 
searcheth  all  things,  yea,  the  deep 
things  of  God.  11  For  who  among 
men  knoweth  the  things  of  a  man, 
save  the  spirit  of  the  man,  which 
is  in  him?  even  so  the  things  of 
God  none  knoweth,  save  the  Spirit 
of  God.  12  But  we  received,  not 
the  spirit  of  the  world,  but  the 
spirit  which  is  from  God ;  that  we 
might  know  the  things  that  were 
freely  given  to  us  of  God.  13 
Which  things  also  we  speak,  not 
in  words  which  man's  wisdom 
teacheth,  but  which  the  Spirit 
teacheth;  combining  spiritual  things 
with  spiritual  words.  14  Now  the 
natural  man  receiveth  not  the 
things  of  the  Spirit  of  God:  for 
they  are  foolishness  unto  him ;  and 
he  cannot  know  them,  because  they 


CHAPTER  2. 

AND  I,  brethren,  when  I  came  to  you, 
came  not  in  loftiness  of  speech  or  of 
wisdom,  declaring  unto  you  the  testimony 
of  Christ. 

2  For  I  judged  not  myself  to  know  any 
thing  arnong  you,  but  Jesus  Christ,  and 
him  crucified. 

3  And  I  was  with  you  in  weakness,  and 
in  fear,  and  in  much  trembling. 

4  And  my  speech  and  my  preaching 
was  not  in  the  persuasive  words  of  hu- 
man wisdom,  but  in  shewing  of  the  Spirit 
and  power; 

5  That  your  faith  might  not  stand  on 
the  wisdom  of  men,  but  on  the  power  of 
God. 

6  Howbeit  we  speak  wisdom  among  the 
perfect :  yet  not  the  wisdom  of  this  world, 
neither  of  the  princes  of  this  world  that 
come  to  nought ; 

7  But  we  speak  the  wisdom  of  God  in  a 
mystery,  a  wisdom  which  is  hidden,  which 
God  ordained  before  the  world,  unto  our 
glory : 

8  Which  none  of  the  princes  of  this 
world  knew ;  for  if  they  had  known  it, 
they  would  never  have  crucified  the  Lord 
of  glory. 

9  But,  as  it  is  written:  That  eye  hath 
not  seen,  nor  ear  heard,  neither  hath  it 
entered  into  the  heart  of  man,  what  things 
God  hath  prepared  for  them  that  love 
him. 

10  But  to  us  God  hath  revealed  them,  by 
his  Spirit.  For  the  Spirit  searcheth  all 
things,  yea,  the  deep  things  of  God. 

11  For  what  man  knoweth  the  things  of 
a  man,  but  the  spirit  of  a  man  that  is  in 
him?  So  the  things  also  that  are  of  God 
no  man  knoweth,  but  the  Spirit  of  God. 

12  Now  we  have  received  not  the  spirit 
of  this  world,  but  the  Spirit  that  is  of 
God;  that  we  may  know  the  things  that 
are  given  us  from  God. 

13  Which  things  also  we  speak,  not  in 
the  learned  words  of  human  wisdom;  but 
in  the  doctrine  of  the  Spirit,  comparing 
spiritual  things  with  spiritual. 

14  But  the  sensual  man  perceiveth  not 
these  things  that  are  of  the  Spirit  of  God ; 
for  it  is  foolishness  to  him,  and  he  cannot 
understand,  because  it  is  spiritually  ex- 
amined. 

15  But  the  spiritual  man  judgeth  all 
things;  and  he  himself  is  judged  of  no 
man. 

16  For  who  hath  known  the  mind  of

the  Lord,  that  he  may  instruct  him?    But 
we  have  the  mind  of  Christ. 


CHAPTER  3. 

AND  I,  brethren,  could  not  speak  unto 
you   as   unto    spiritual,   but   as    unto 
carnal ;  even  as  unto  babes  in  Christ. 

2  I  have  fed  you  with  milk,  and  not 
with  meat:  for  hitherto  ye  were  not 
able  to  bear  it,  neither  yet  now  are  ye 
able. 

3  For  ye  are  yet  carnal :  for  whereas 
there  is  among  you  envying,  and  strife, 
and  divisions,  are  ye  not  carnal,  and  walk 
as  men? 

4  For  while  one  saith,  I  am  of  Paul; 
and  another,  I  am  of  Apollos;  are  ye  not 
carnal ? 

5  Who  then  is  Paul,  and  who  is  Apol- 
los, but  ministers  by  whom  ye  believed, 
even  as  the  Lord  gave  to  every  man? 

6  I  have  planted,  Apollos  watered;  but 
God  gave  the  increase. 

7  So  then  neither  is  he  that  planteth  any 
thing,  neither  he  that  watereth;  but  God 
that  giveth  the  increase. 

8  Now  he  that  planteth  and  he  that 
watereth  are  one :  and  every  man  shall 
receive  his  own  reward  according  to  his 
own  labour. 

9  For  we  are  labourers  together  with 
God:  ye  are  God's  husbandry,  ye  are 
God's  building. 

10  According  to  the  grace  of  God  which 
is  given  unto  me,  as  a  wise  masterbuilder, 
I  have  laid  the  foundation,  and  another 
buildeth  thereon.  But  let  every  man  take 
heed  how  he  buildeth  thereupon. 

11  For  other  foundation  can  no  man  lay 
than  that  is  laid,  which  is  Jesus  Christ. 

12  Now  if  any  man  build  upon  this 
foundation  gold,  silver,  precious  stones, 
wood,  hay,  stubble; 

13  Every  man's  work  shall  be  made 
manifest :  for  the  day  shall  declare  it, 
because  it  shall  be  revealed  by  fire ;  and 
the  fire  shall  try  every  man's  work  of 
what  sort  it  is. 

14  If  any  man's  work  abide  which  he 
hath  built  thereupon,  he  shall  receive  a 
reward. 

15  If  any  man's  work  shall  be  burned, 
he  shall  suffer  loss:  but  he  himself  shall 
be  saved ;  yet  so  as  by  fire. 

16  Know  ye  not  that  ye  are  the  temple 


himself  is  judged  of  no  man. 
16  For  who  hath  known  the  mind 
of  the  Lord,  that  he  should  instruct 
him?  But  we  have  the  mind  of 
Christ. 


A  ND  I,  brethren,  could  not 
3-^lV  speak  unto  you  as  unto 
spiritual,  but  as  unto  carnal,  as  unto 
babes  in  Christ.  2  I  fed  you  with 
milk,  not  with  meat ;  for  ye  were 
not  yet  able  to  bear  it:  nay,  not  even 
now  are  ye  able;  3  for  ye  are  yet 
carnal :  for  whereas  there  is  among 
you  jealousy  and  strife,  are  ye  not 
carnal,  and  walk  after  the  manner 
of  men?  4  For  when  one  saith,  I 
am  of  Paul ;  and  another,  I  am  of 
Apollos;  are  ye  not  men?  5  What 
then  is  Apollos?  and  what  is  Paul? 
Ministers  through  whom  ye  be- 
lieved; and  each  as  the  Lord  gave 
to  him.  6  I  planted,  Apollos 
watered;  but  God  gave  the  in- 
crease. 7  So  then  neither  is  he 
that  planteth  anything,  neither  h^ 
that  watereth;  but  God  that  giveth 
the  increase.  8  Now  he  that  plant- 
eth and  he  that  watereth  are  one : 
but  each  shall  receive  his  own  re- 
ward according  to  his  own  labour. 
9  For  we  are  God's  fellow-workers : 
ye  are  God's  husbandry,  God's 
building. 

10  According  to  the  grace  of 
God  which  was  given  unto  me,  as 
a  wise  masterbuilder  I  laid  a  foun- 
dation ;  and  another  buildeth  there- 
on. But  let  each  man  take  heed 
how  he  buildeth  thereon.  11  For 
other  foundation  can  no  man  lay 
than  that  which  is  laid,  which  is 
Jesus  Christ.  12  But  if  any  man 
buildeth  on  the  foundation  gold, 
silver,  costly  stones,  wood,  hay, 
stubble ;  13  each  man's  work  shall 
be  made  manifest :  for  the  day  shall 
declare  it,  because  it  is  revealed  in 
fire ;  and  the  fire  itself  shall  prove 
each  man's  work  of  what  sort  it 
is.  14  If  any  man's  work  shall 
abide  which  he  built  thereon,  he 
shall  receive  a  reward.  15  If  any 
man's  work  shall  be  burned,  he 
shall  suffer  loss:  but  he  himself 
shall  be  saved;  yet  so  as  through 
fire.

that  is  spiritual  judgeth  all  things, 
and  he  himself  is  judged  of  no 
man.  16  For  who  hath  known  the 
mind  of  the  Lord,  that  he  should 
instruct  him?  But  we  have  the 
mind  of  Christ. 

A  ND  I,  brethren,  could  not 
3^l\.  speak  unto  you  as  unto  spir- 
itual, but  as  unto  carnal,  as  unto 
babes  in  Christ.  2  I  fed  you 
with  milk,  not  with  meat;  for  ye 
were  not  yet  able  to  bear  it:  nay, 
not  even  now  are  ye  able;  3  for

is  among  you  jealousy  and  strife, 
are  ye  not  carnal,  and  do  ye  not

For  when  one  saith,  I  am  of  Paul ;

ye  not  men?  5  What  then  is  Apol- 
los? and  what  is  Paul?  Ministers 
through  whom  ye  believed;  and 
each  as  the  Lord  gave  to  him. 
6  I  planted,  Apollos  watered;  but 
God  gave  the  increase.  7  So  then 
neither  is  he  that  planteth  any- 
thing, neither  he  that  watereth;  but 
God  that  giveth  the  increase.  8 
Now  he  that  planteth  and  he  that 
watereth  are  one :  but  each  shall 
receive  his  own  reward  according 
to  his  own  labor.  9  For  we  are 
God's  fellow-workers :  ye  are  God's

CHAPTER  3. 

AND  I,  brethren,  could  not  speak  to 
you   as   unto   spiritual,   but   as   unto 
carnal.     As  unto  little  ones  in  Christ. 

2  I  gave  you  milk  to  drink,  not  meat; 
for  you  were  not  able  as  yet.  But  neither 
indeed  are  you  now  able;  for  you  are 
yet  carnal. 

3  For,  whereas  there  is  among  you 
envying  and  contention,  are  you  not 
carnal,  and  walk  according  to  man? 

4  For  while  one  saith,  I  indeed  am  of 
Paul;  and  another,  I  am  of  Apollo;  are 
you  not  men?  What  then  is  Apollo,  and 
what  is  Paul? 

5  The  ministers  of  him  whom  you  have 
believed ;  and  to  every  one  as  the  Lord 
hath  given. 

6  I  have  planted,  Apollo  watered,  but 
God  gave  the  increase. 

7  Therefore,  neither  he  that  planteth  is 
any  thing,  nor  he  that  watereth;  but  God 
that  giveth  the  increase. 

8  Now  he  that  planteth,  and  he  that 
watereth,  are  one.  And  every  man  shall 
receive  his  own  reward,  according  to  his 
own  labour. 

9  For  we  are  God's  coadjutors:  you  are 
God's  husbandry;  you  are  God's  building. 

10  According  to  the  grace  of  God  that  is 
given  to  me,  as  a  wise  architect,  I  have 
laid  the  foundation ;  and  another  build- 
eth thereon.  But  let  every  man  take 
heed  how  he  buildeth  thereupon. 

11  For  other  foundation  no  man  can 
lay,  but  that  which  is  laid ;  which  is  Christ 
Jesus. 

12  Now  if  any  man  build  upon  this 
foundation,  gold,  silver,  precious  stones, 
wood,  hay,  stubble: 

13  Every  man's  work  shall  be  manifest; 
for  the  day  of  the  Lord  shall  declare  it,

of  God,  and  that  the  Spirit  of  God  dwell- 
eth  in  you  ? 

17  If  any  man  defile  the  temple  of 
God,  him  shall  God  destroy;  for  the  tem- 
ple of  God  is  holy,  which  temple  ye  are. 

18  Let  no  man  deceive  himself.  If 
any  man  among  you  seemeth  to  be  wise 
in  this  wopld,  let  him  become  a  fool,  that 
he  may  be  wise. 

19  For  the  wisdom  of  this  world  is 
foolishness  with  God.  For  it  is  written, 
He  taketh  the  wise  in  their  own  crafti- 
ness. 

20  And  again,  The  Lord  knoweth  the 
thoughts  of  the  wise,  that  they  are  vain, 

21  Therefore  let  no  man  glory  in  men. 
For  all  things  are  your's ; 

22  Whether  Paul,  or  Apollos,'or  Ce- 
phas, or  the  world,  or  life,  or  death,  or 
things  present,  or  things  to  come;  all  are 
your's ; 

23  And  ye  are  Christ's;  and  Christ  is 
God's. 

CHAPTER  4. 

LET  a  man  so  account  of  us,  as  of  the 
ministers  of  Christ,  and  stewards  of 
the  mysteries  of  God. 

2  Moreover  it  is  required  in  stewards, 
that  a  man  be  found  faithful. 

3  But  with  me  it  is  a  very  small  thing 
that  I  should  be  judged  of  you,  or  of 
man's  judgment:  yea,  I  judge  not  mine 
own  self. 

4  For  I  know  nothing  by  myself;  yet 
am  I  not  hereby  justified:  but  he  that 
judgeth  me  is  the  Lord. 

5  Therefore  judge  nothing  before  the 
time,  until  the  Lord  come,  who  both  will 
bring  to  light  the  hidden  things  of  dark- 
ness, and  will  make  manifest  the  counsels 
of  the  hearts:  and  then  shall  every  man 
have  praise  of  God. 

6  And  these  things,  brethren,  I  have 
in  a  figure  transferred  to  myself  and  to 
Apollos  for  your  sakes ;  that  ye  might 
learn  in  us  not  to  think  of  men  above 
that  which  is  written,  that  no  one  of  you 
be  puffed  up  for  one  against  another. 

7  For  who  maketh  thee  to  differ  from 
another?  and  what  hast  thou  that  thou 
didst  not  receive?  now  if  thou  didst  re- 
ceive it,  why  dost  thou  glory,  as  if  thou 
hadst  not  received  it? 

8  Now  ye  are  full,  now  ye  are  rich, 
ye  have  reigned  as  kings  without  us :  and 
I  would  to  God  ye  did  reign,  that  we 
also  might  reign  with  you. 


16  Know  ye  not  that  ye  are  a 
temple  of  God,  and  that  the  Spirit 
of  God  dwelleth  in  you?  17  If  any 
man  destroyeth  the  temple  of  God, 
him  shall  God  destroy ;  for  the  tem- 
ple of  God  is  holy,  which  temple 
ye  are. 

18  Let  no  man  deceive  himself. 
If  any  man  thinketh  that  he  is  wise 
among  you  in  this  world,  let  him 
become  a  fool,  that  he  may  become 
wise.  19  For  the  wisdom  of  this 
world  is  foolishness  with  God.  For 
it  is  written.  He  that  taketh  the 
wise  in  their  craftiness:  20  and 
again,  The  Lord  knoweth  the  rea- 
sonings of  the  wise,  that  they  are 
vain.  21  Wherefore,  let  no  one 
glory  in  men.  For  all  things  are 
yours ;  22  whether  Paul,  or  Apollos, 
or  Cephas,  or  the  world,  or  life,  or 
death,  or  things  present,  or  things 
to  come;  all  are  yours;  23  and  ye 
are  Christ's;  and  Christ  is  God's. 


T  ET  a  man  so  account  of  us, 
4-1-^  as  of  ministers  of  Christ, 
and  stewards  of  the  mysteries  of 
God.  2  Here,  moreover,  it  is  re- 
quired in  stewards,  that  a  man  be 
found  faithful.  3  But  with  me  it 
is  a  very  small  thing  that  I  should 
be  judged  of  you,  or  of  man's 
judgement:  yea,  I  judge  not  mine 
own  self.  4  For  I  know  nothing 
against  myself;  yet  am  I  not 
hereby  justified:  but  he  that  judg- 
eth me  is  the  Lord.  5  Wherefore 
judge  nothing  before  the  time, 
until  the  Lord  come,  who  will  both 
bring  to  light  the  hidden  things  of 
darkness,  and  make  manifest  the 
counsels  of  the  hearts;  and  then 
shall  each  man  have  his  praise  from 
God. 

6  Now  these  things,  brethren,  I 
have  in  a  figure  transferred  to  my- 
self and  Apollos  for  your  sakes ; 
that  in  us  ye  might  learn  not  to  go 
beyond  the  things  which  are  writ- 
ten ;  that  no  one  of  you  be  puffed 
up  for  the  one  against  the  other. 
7  For  who  maketh  thee  to  differ? 
and  what  hast  thou  that  thou  didst 
not  receive?  but  if  thou  didst  re- 
ceive it,  why  dost  thou  glory,  as  if 
thou  hadst  not  received  it?  8  Al-

of  Goddwelleth  in  you?  17  If  any 
man  destroyeth  the  temple  of  God, 
him  shall  God  destroy ;  for  the  tem- 
ple of  God  is  holy,  and  such  are  ye. 
18  Let  no  man  deceive  himself. 
If  any  man  thinketh  that  he  is  wise 
among  you  in  this  world,  let  him 
become  a  fool,  that  he  may  become 
wise.  19  For  the  wisdom  of  this 
world  is  foolishness  with  God. 
For  it  is  written,  He  that  taketh 
the  wise  in  their  craftiness :  20  and 
again.  The  Lord  knoweth  the  rea- 
sonings of  the  wise,  that  they  are 
vain.  21  Wherefore  let  no  one 
glory  in  men.  For  all  things  are 
yours;  22  whether  Paul,  or  Apol- 
los,  or  Cephas,  or  the  world,  or 
life,  or  death,  or  things  present,  or 
things  to  come;  all  are  yours;  23 
and  ye  are  Christ's;  and  Christ  is 
God's. 


T  ET  a  man  so  account  of  us, 
4-L^  as  of  ministers  of  Christ, 
and  stewards  of  the  mysteries  of 
God.  2  Here,  moreover,  it  is  re- 
quired in  stewards,  .that  a  man  be 
found  faithful.  3  But  .with  me  it 
is  a  very  small  thing  that  I  should 
be  judged  of  you,  or  of  man's  judg- 
ment: yea,  I  judge  not  mine  own 
self.  4  For  I  know  nothing  against 
myself;  yet  am  I  not  hereby  justi- 
fied :  but  he  that  judgeth  me  is  the 
Lord.  5  Wherefore  judge  nothing 
before  the  time,  until  the  Lord 
come,  who  will  both  bring  to  light 
the  hidden  things  of  darkness,  and 
make  manifest  the  counsels  of  the 
hearts ;  and  then  shall  each  man 
have  his  praise  from  God. 

6  Now  these  things,  brethren,  I 
have  in  a  figure  transferred  to  my- 
self and  Apollos  for  your  sakes; 
that  in  us  ye  might  learn  not  to  go 
beyond  the  things  which  are  writ- 
ten ;  that  no  one  of  you  be  puffed 
up  for  the  one  against  the  other. 
7  For  who  maketh  thee  to  differ? 
and  what  hast  thou  that  thou  didst 
not  receive?  but  if  thou  didst  re- 
ceive it,  why  dost  thou  glory  as  if 
thou  hadst  not  received  it?  8  Al- 
ready are  ye  filled,  already  ye  are 
become  rich,  ye  have  come  to  reign 


pie  of  God,  and  that  the   Spirit  of  God 
dwelleth  in  you? 

17  But  if  any  man  violate  the  temple  of 
God,  him  shall  God  destroy.  For  the 
temple  of  God  is  holy,  which  you  are. 

18  Let  no  man  deceive  himself :  if  any 
man  among  you  seem  to  be  wise  in  this 
world,  let  him  become  a  fool,  that  he 
may  be  wise. 

19  For  the  wisdom  of  this  world  is  fool- 
ishness with  God.  For  it  is  written:  / 
will  catch  the  wise  in  their  own  craftiness. 

20  And  again :  The  Lord  knoweth  the 
thoughts  of  the  wise,  that  they  are  vain. 

21  Let  no  man  therefore  glory  in  men. 

22  For  all  things  are  yours,  whether  it 
be  Paul,  or  Apollo,  or  Cephas,  or  the 
world,  or  life,  or  death,  or  things  present, 
or  things  to  come;  for  all  are  yours; 

23  And  you  are  Christ's;  and  Christ  is 
God's. 


CHAPTER  4. 

LET  a  man  so  account  of  us  as  of  the 
ministers  of  Christ,  and  the  dispens- 
ers of  the  mysteries  of  God. 

2  Here  now  it  is  required  among  the 
dispensers,  that  a  man  be  found  faithful. 

3  But  to  me  it  is  a  very  small  thing  to 
be  judged  by  you,  or  by  man's  day;  but 
neither  do  I  judge  my  own  self. 

4  For  I  am  not  conscious  to  myself  of 
any  thing,  yet  am  I  not  hereby  justified; 
but  he  that  judgeth  me,  is  the  Lord. 

5  Therefore  judge  not  before  the  time; 
until  the  Lord  come,  who  both  will  bring 
to  light  the  hidden  things  of  darkness, 
and  will  make  manifest  the  counsels  of 
the  hearts;  and  then  shall  every  man 
have  praise  from  God. 

6  But  these  things,  brethren,  I  have  in 
a  figure  transferred  to  myself  and  to 
Apollo,  for  your  sakes;  that  in  us  you 
may  learn,  that  one  be  not  puffed  up 
against  the  other  for  another,  above  that 
which  is  written. 

7  For  who  distinguisheth  thee?  Or 
what  hast  thou  that  thou  hast  not  re- 
ceived? And  if  thou  hast  received,  why 
dost  thou  glory,  as  if  thou  hadst  not  re- 
ceived it? 

8  You  are  now  full ;  you  are  now  be- 
come rich;  you  reign  without  us;  and  I 
would  to  God  you  did  reign,  that  we  also 
might  reign  with  you. 

9  For  I  think  that  God  hath  set  forth 


220      AUTHORIZED

REVISED 


9  For  I  think  that  God  hath  set  forth 
us  the  apostles  last,  as  it  were  appointed 
to  death :  for  we  are  made  a  spectacle 
unto  the  world,  and  to  angels,  and  to  men. 

ID  We  are  fools  for  Christ's  sake,  but 
ye  are  wise  in  Christ;  we  are  weak,  but 
ye  are  strong;  ye  are  honourable,  but  we 
are  despised. 

11  Even  unto  this  present  hour  we 
both  hunger,  and  thirst,  and  are  naked, 
and  are  buffeted,  and  have  no  certain 
dwellingplace ; 

12  And  labour,  working  with  our  own 
hands :  being  reviled,  we  bless ;  being  per- 
secuted, we  suffer  it : 

13  Being  defamed,  we  intreat:  we  are 
made  as  the  filth  of  the  world,  and  are 
the  offscouring  of  all  things  unto  this 
day. 

14  I  write  not  these  things  to  shame 
you,  but  as  my  beloved  sons  I  warn  you. 

15  For  though  ye  have  ten  thousand 
instructers  in  Christ,  yet  have  ye  not 
many  fathers:  for  in  Christ  Jesus  I  have 
begotten  you  through  the  gospel. 

16  Wherefore  I  beseech  you,  be  ye  fol- 
lowers of  me. 

17  For  this  cause  have  I  sent  unto  you 
Timotheus,  who  is  my  beloved  son,  and 
faithful  in  the  Lord,  who  shall  bring  you 
into  remembrance  of  my  ways  which  be 
in  Christ,  as  I  teach  every  where  in  every 
church. 

18  Now  some  are  puffed  up,  as  though 
I  would  not  come  to  you, 

19  But  I  will  come  to  you  shortly,  if 
the  Lord  will,  and  will  know,  not  the 
speech  of  them  which  are  puffed  up,  but 
the  power. 

20  For  the  kingdom  of  God  is  not  in 
word,  but  in  power. 

21  What  will  ye?  shall  I  come  unto 
you  with  a  rod,  or  in  love,  and  in  the 
spirit  of  meekness? 


CHAPTER  5. 

IT  is  reported  commonly  that  there  is 
fornication  among  you,  and  such  for- 
nication as  is  not  so  much  as  named 
among  the  Gentiles,  that  one  should  have 
his  father's  wife. 

2  And  ye  are  puffed  up,  and  have  not 
rather  mourned,  that  he  that  hath  done 
this  deed  might  be  taken  away  from 
among  you. 

3  For  I  verily,  as  absent  in  body,  but 


become  rich,  ye  have  reigned  with- 
out us :  yea  and  I  would  -that  ye 
did  reign,  that  we  also  might  reign 
with  you.  9  For,  I  think,  God  hath 
set  forth  us  the  apostles  last  of  all, 
as  men  doomed  to  death :  for  we 
are  made  a  spectacle  unto  the 
world,  and  to  angels,  and  to  men. 

10  We  are  fools  for  Christ's  sake, 
but  ye  are  wise  in  Christ ;  we  are 
weak,  but  ye  are  strong;  ye  have 
glory,     but     we     have     dishonour. 

11  Even  unto  this  present  hour  we 
both  hunger,  and  thirst,  and  are 
naked,  and  are  buffeted,  and  have 
no  certain  dwellingplace;  12  and 
we  toil,  working  with  our  own 
hands :  being  reviled,  we  bless ;  be- 
ing persecuted,  we  endure;  13  be- 
ing defamed,  we  intreat :  we  are 
made  as  the  filth  of  the  world,  the 
offscouring  of  all  things,  even  until 
now. 

14  I  write  not  these  things  to 
shame  you,  but  to  admonish  you 
as  my  beloved  children.  15  For 
though  ye  should  have  ten  thou- 
sand tutors  in  Christ,  yet  have  ye 
not  many  fathers:  for  in  Christ 
Jesus  I  begat  you  through  the  gos- 
pel. 16  I  beseech  you  therefore, 
be  ye  imitators  of  me.  17  For  this 
cause  have  I  sent  unto  you  Tim- 
othy, who  is  my  beloved  and  faith- 
ful child  in  the  Lord,  who  shall  put 
you  in  remembrance  of  my  ways 
which  be  in  Christ,  even  as  I  teach 
everywhere  in  every  church.  18 
Now  some  are  puffed  up,  as  though 
I  were  not  coming  to  you.  19  But 
I  will  come  to  you  shortly,  if  the 
Lord  will ;  and  I  will  know,  not  the 
word  of  them  which  are  puffed  up, 
but  the  power.  20  For  the  king- 
dom of  God  is  not  in  word,  but  in 
power.  21  What  will  ye?  shall  I 
come  unto  you  with  a  rod,  or  in 
love  and  a  spirit  of  meekness? 

gTT  is  actually  reported  that  there 
OX  is  fornication  among  you,  and 
such  fornication  as  is  not  even 
among  the  Gentiles,  that  one  of 
you  hath  his  father's  wife.  2  And 
ye  are  puffed  up,  and  did  not  rather 
mourn,  that  he  that  had  done  this 
deed  might  be  taken  away  from 
among  you.  3  For  I  verily,  being 
absent  in  body  but  present  in  spirit,

without  us:  yea  and  I  would  that 
ye  did  reign,  that  we  also  might 
reign  with  you.  9  For,  I  think,  God 
hath  set  forth  us  the  apostles  last 
of  all,  as  men  doomed  to  death : 
for  we  are  made  a  spectacle  unto 
the  world,  both  to  angels  and  men. 
10  We  are  fools  for  Christ's  sake, 
but  ye  are  wise  in  Christ;  we  are 
weak,  but  ye  are  strong ;  ye  have 
glory,  but  we  have  dishonor.  11 
Even  unto  this  present  hour  we 
both  hunger,  and  thirst,  and  are 
naked,  and  are  buffeted,  and  have 
no  certain  dwelling-place;  12  and 
we  toil,  working  with  our  own 
hands:  being  reviled,  we  bless;  be- 
ing persecuted,  we  endure ;  13  be- 
ing defamed,  we  entreat:  we  are 
made  as  the  filth  of  the  world,  the 
offscouring  of  all  things,  even  un- 
til   now. 

14  I  write  not  these  things  to 
shame  you,  but  to  admonish  you 
as  my  beloved  children.  15  For 
though  ye  have  ten  thousand 
tutors  in  Christ,  yet  have  ye  not 
many  fathers;  for  in  Christ  Jesus 
I  begat  you  through  the  gospel.  16 
I  beseech  you  therefore,  be  ye  imi- 
tators of  me.  17  For  this  cause 
have  I  sent  unto  you  Timothy,  who 
is  my  beloved  and  faithful  child  in 
the  Lord,  who  shall  put  you  in  re- 
membrance of  my  ways  which  are 
in  Christ,  even  as  I  teach  every- 
where in  every  church.  18  Now 
some  are  puffed  up,  as  though  I 
were  not  coming  to  you.  19  But  I 
will  come  to  you  shortly,  if  the 
Lord  will ;  and  I  will  know,  not  the 
word  of  them  that  are  puffed  up, 
but  the  power.  20  For  the  king-

love  and  a  spirit  of  gentleness? 


^TT  is  actually  reported  that  there 
5A  is  fornication  among  you,  and 
such  fornication  as  is  not  even 
among  the  Gentiles,  that  one  of  you 
hath  his  father's  wife.  2  And  ye 
are  puffed  up,  and  did  not  rather

us  apostles,  the  last,  as  it  were  men  ap- 
pointed to  death :  we  are  made  a  spectacle 
to  the  world,  and  to  angels,  and  to  men. 

10  We  are  fools  for  Christ's  sake,  but 
you  are  wise  in  Christ;  we  are  weak,  but 
you  are  strong;  you  are  honourable,  but 
we  without  honour. 

11  Even  unto  this  hour  we  both  hunger 
and  thirst,  and  are  naked,  and  are  buf- 
feted, and  have  no  fixed  abode ; 

12  And  we  labour,  working  with  our 
own  hands :  we  are  reviled,  and  we  bless ; 
we  are  persecuted,  and  we  suffer  it. 

13  We  are  blasphemed,  and  we  entreat; 
we  are  made  as  the  refuse  of  this  world, 
the  offscouring  of  all  even  until  now. 

14  I  write  not  these  things  to  confound 
you;  but  I  admonish  you  as  my  dearest 
children. 

15  For  if  you  have  ten  thousand  in- 
structors in  Christ,  yet  not  many  fathers. 
For  in  Christ  Jesus,  by  the  gospel,  I  have 
begotten  you. 

16  Wherefore  I  beseech  you,  be  ye  fol- 
lowers of  me,  as  I  also  am  of  Christ. 

17  For  this  cause  have  I  sent  to  you 
Timothy,  who  is  my  dearest  son  and 
faithful  in  the  Lord;  who  will  put  you 
in  mind  of  my  ways,  which  are  in  Christ 
Jesus ;  as  I  teach  every  where  in  every 
church. 

18  As  if  I  would  not  come  to  you,  so 
some   are   puffed    up. 

19  But  I  will  come  to  you  shortly,  if 
the  Lord  will:  and  will  know,  not  the 
speech  of  them  that  are  puffed  up,  but  the 
power. 

20  For  the  kingdom  of  God  is  not  in 
speech,  but  in  power. 

21  What  will  you?  shall  I  come  to  you 
with  a  rod;  or  in  charity,  and  in  the 
spirit  of  meekness? 


CHAPTER  s. 

IT  is  absolutely  heard,  that  there  is 
fornication  among  you,  and  such  for- 
nication as  the  like  is  not  among  the 
heathens;  that  one  should  have  his  fa- 
ther's wife. 

2  And  you  are  puffed  up ;  and  have  not 
rather  mourned,  that  he  might  be  taken 
away  from  among  you,  that  hath  done 
this  deed.

present  in  spirit,  have  judged  already,  as 
though  I  were  present,  concerning  him 
that  hath  so  done  this  deed, 

4  In  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
when  ye  are  gathered  together,  and  my 
spirit,  with  the  power  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ, 

5  To  deliver  such  an  one  unto  Satan 
for  the  destruction  of  the  flesh,  that  the 
spirit  may  be  saved  in  the  day  of  the 
Lord  Jesus. 

6  Your  glorying  is  not  good.  Know 
ye  not  that  a  little  leaven  leaveneth  the 
whole  lump? 

7  Purge  out  therefore  the  old  leaven, 
that  ye  may  be  a  new  lump,  as  ye  are 
unleavened.  For  even  Christ  our  pass- 
over  is  sacrificed  for  us : 

8  Therefore  let  us  keep  the  feast,  not 
with  old  leaven,  neither  with  the  leaven 
of  malice  and  wickedness;  but  with  the 
unleavened  bread  of  sincerity  and  truth. 

9  I  wrote  unto  you  in  an  epistle  not 
to  company  with  fornicators: 

10  Yet  not  altogether  with  the  forni- 
cators of  this  world,  or  with  the  covetous, 
or  extortioners,  or  with  idolaters ;  for 
then  must  ye  needs  go  out  of  the  world. 

11  But  now  I  have  written  unto  you 
not  to  keep  company,  if  any  man  that 
is  called  a  brother  be  a  fornicator,  or 
covetous,  or  an  idolater,  or  a  railer,  or 
a  drunkard,  or  an  extortioner;  with  such 
an  one  no  not  to  eat. 

12  For  what  have  I  to  do  to  judge  them 
also  that  are  without?  do  not  ye  judge 
them  that  are  within? 

13  But  them  that  are  without  God 
judgeth.  Therefore  put  away  from  among 
yourselves  that  wicked  person. 

CHAPTER  6. 

DARE   any   of   you,   having   a   matter 
against  another,  go  to  law  before  the 
unjust,  and  not  before  the  saints? 

2  Do  ye  not  know  that  the  saints  shall 
judge  the  world?  and  if  the  world  shall 
be  judged  by  you,  are  ye  unworthy  to 
judge  the  smallest  matters? 

3  Know  ye  not  that  we  shall  judge  an- 
gels? how  much  more  things  that  pertain 
to  this  life? 

4  If  then  ye  have  judgments  of  things 
pertaining  to  this  life,  set  them  to 
judge  who  are  least  esteemed  in  the 
church. 

5  I  speak  to  your  shame.  Is  it  so,  that 
there  is  not  a  wise  man  among  you?  no. 


have  already,  as  though  I  were 
present,  judged  him  that  hath  so 
wrought  this  thing,  4  in  the  name 
of  our  Lord  Jesus,  ye  being  gath- 
ered together,  and  my  spirit,  with 
the  power  of  our  Lord  Jesus,  5  to 
deliver  such  a  one  unto  Satan  for 
the  destruction  of  the  flesh,  that  the 
spirit  may  be  saved  in  the  day  of 
the  Lord  Jesus.  6  Your  glorying 
is  not  good.  Know  ye  not  that 
a  little  leaven  leaveneth  the  whole 
lump?  7  Purge  out  the  old  leaven, 
that  ye  may  be  a  new  lump,  even 
as  ye  .  are  unleavened.  For  our 
passover  also  hath  been  sacrificed, 
even  Christ :  8  wherefore  let  us 
keep  the  feast,  not  with  old  leaven, 
neither  with  the  leaven  of  malice 
and  wickedness,  but  with  the  un- 
leavened bread  of  sincerity  and 
truth. 

9  I  wrote  unto  you  in  my  epistle 
to  have  no  company  with  fornica- 
tors; 10  not  altogether  with  the 
fornicators  of  this  world,  or  with 
the  covetous  and  extortioners,  or 
with  idolaters ;  for  then  must  ye 
needs  go  out  of  the  world:  11  but 
now  I  write  unto  you  not  to  keep 
company,  if  any  man  that  is  named 
a  brother  be  a  fornicator,  or  covet- 
ous, or  an  idolater,  or  a  reviler,  or 
a  drunkard,  or  an  extortioner ;  with 
such  a  one  no,  not  to  eat.  12  For 
what  have  I  to  do  with  judging 
them  that  are  without?  Do  not 
ye  judge  them  that  are  within, 
13  whereas  them  that  are  without 
God  judgeth?  Put  away  the 
wicked  man  from  among  your- 
selves. 

^'TTVARE  any  of  you,  having  a 
^J-^  matter  against  his  neighbour, 
go  to  law  before  the  unrighteous, 
and  not  before  the  saints?  2  Or 
know  ye  not  that  the  saints  shall 
judge  the  world?  and  if  the  world 
is  judged  by  you,  are  ye  unworthy 
to  judge  the  smallest  matters? 
3  Know  ye  not  that  we  shall  judge 
angels?  how  much  more,  things  that 
pertain  to  this  life?  4  If  then  ye 
have  to  judge  things  pertaining  to 
this  life,  do  ye  set  them  to  judge 
who  are  of  no  account  in  the 
church?  5  I  say  this  to  move  you 
to  shame.    Is  it  so,  that  there  cannot

wrought  this  thing,  4  in  the  name 
of  our  Lord  Jesus,  ye  being  gath- 
ered together,  and  my  spirit,  with 
the  power  of  our  Lord  Jesus,  5  to 
deHver  such  a  one  unto  Satan  for 
the  destruction  of  the  flesh,  that  the

neither  with  the  leaven  of  malice 
and  wickedness,  but  with  the  un-

9  I  wrote  unto  you  in  my  epistle 
to  have  no  company  with  fornica- 
tors; 10  not  at  all  meaning  with 
the  fornicators  of  this  world,  or 
with  the  covetous  and  extortioners, 
or  with  idolaters ;  for  then  must 
ye  needs  go  out  of  the  world:  11 
but  as  it  is,  I  wrote  unto  you  not 
to  keep  company,  if  any  man  that 
is  named  a  brother  be  a  fornicator, 
or  covetous,  or  an  idolater,  or  a  re- 
viler,  or  a  drunkard,  or  an  extor- 
tioner; with  such  a  one  no,  not  to 
eat.  12  For  what  have  I  to  do 
with  judging  them  that  are  with- 
out? Do  not  ye  judge  them  that 
are  within?  13  But  them  that  are 
without  God  judgeth.  Put  away 
the  wicked  man  from  among  your- 
selves. 

/rT^  ARE  any  of  you,  having  a 
^-L^  matter  against  his  neighbor, 
go  to  law  before  the  unrighteous, 
and  not  before  the  saints?  2  Or 
know  ye  not  that  the  saints  shall 
judge  the  world?  and  if  the  world 
is  judged  by  you,  are  ye  unworthy 
to  judge  the  smallest  matters? 
3  Know  ye  not  that  we  shall  judge 
angels?  how  much  more,  things  that 
pertain  to  this  life?  4  If  then  ye 
have  to  judge  things  pertaining  to 
this  life,  do  ye  set  them  to  judge 
who  are  of  no  account  in  the 
church?  5  I  say  this  to  move  you 
to  shame.     What,   cannot  there  be 


in  spirit,  have  already  judged,  as  though 
I  were  present,  him  that  hath  so  done, 

4  In  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
you  being  gathered  together,  and  my 
spirit,  with  the  power  of  our  Lord  Jesus ; 

5  To  deliver  such  a  one  to  Satan  for 
the  destruction  of  the  flesh,  that  the  spirit 
may  be  saved  in  the  day  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ. 

6  Your  glorying  is  not  good.  Know 
you  not  that  a  little  leaven  corrupteth 
the  whole  lump? 

7  Purge  out  the  old  leaven,  that  you 
may  be  a  new  paste,  as  you  are  unleav- 
ened.    For  Christ  our  pasch  is  sacrificed, 

8  Therefore  let  us  feast,  not  with  the 
old  leaven,  nor  with  the  leaven  of  malice 
and  wickedness;  but  with  the  unleavened 
bread  of  sincerity  and  truth. 

9  I  wrote  to  you  in  an  epistle,  not  to 
keep   company  with   fornicators. 

10  I  mean  not  with  the  fornicators  of 
this  world,  or  with  the  covetous,  or  the 
extortioners,  or  the  servers  of  idols; 
otherwise  you  must  needs  go  out  of  this 
world. 

11  But  now  I  have  written  to  you,  not 
to  keep  company,  if  any  man  that  is  named 
a  brother,  be  a  fornicator,  or  covetous,  or 
a  server  of  idols,  or  a  railer,  or  a  drunk- 
ard, or  an  extortioner :  with  such  a  one, 
not  so  much  as  to  eat. 

12  For  what  have  I  to  do  to  judge  them 
that  are  without?  Do  not  you  judge  them 
that  are  within? 

13  For  them  that  are  without,  God  will 
judge.  Put  away  the  evil  one  from  among 
yourselves. 


CHAPTER  6. 

DARE   any   of  you,    having  a   matter 
against  another,  go  to  be  judged  be- 
fore the  unjust,  and  not  before  the  saints? 

2  Know  you  not  that  the  saints  shall 
judge  this  world?  And  if  the  world  shall 
be  judged  by  you,  are  you  unworthy  to 
judge  the  smallest  matters? 

3  Know  you  not  that  we  shall  judge 
angels?  how  much  more  things  of  this 
world? 

4  If  therefore  you  have  judgments  of 
things  pertaining  to  this  world,  set  them 
to  judge,  who  are  the  most  despised  in 
the  church. 

5  I  speak  to  your  shame.  Is  it  so  that 
there   is    not   among   you    any   one   wise

not  one  that  shall  be  able  to  judge  be- 
tween his   brethren? 

6  But  brother  goeth  to  law  with 
brother,  and  that  before  the  unbelievers. 

7  Now  therefore  there  is  utterly  a  fault 
among  you,  because  ye  go  to  law  one 
with  another.  Why  do  ye  not  rather  take 
wrong?  why  do  ye  not  rather  suffer  your- 
selves to  be  defrauded? 

8  Nay,  ye  do  wrong,  and  defraud,  and 
that  your  brethren. 

9  Know  ye  not  that  the  unrighteous 
shall  not  inherit  the  kingdom  of  God? 
Be  not  deceived:  neither  fornicators,  nor 
idolaters,  nor  adulterers,  nor  effeminate, 
nor  abusers  of  themselves  with  mankind, 

10  Nor  thieves,  nor  covetous,  nor 
drunkards,  nor  revilers,  nor  extortioners, 
shall  inherit  the  kingdom  of  God. 

11  And  such  were  some  of  you:  but  ye 
are  washed,  but  ye  are  sanctified,  but  ye 
are  justified  in  the  name  of  the  Lord 
Jesus,  and  by  the  Spirit  of  our  God. 

12  All  things  are  lawful  unto  me,  but 
all  things  are  not  expedient:  all  things 
are  lawful  for  me,  but  I  will  not  be 
brought  under  the  power  of  any. 

13  Meats  for  the  belly,  and  the  belly 
for  meats:  but  God  shall  destroy  both 
it  and  them.  Now  the  body  is  not  for 
fornication,  but  for  the  Lx)rd;  and  the 
Lord  for  the  body. 

14  And  God  hath  both  raised  up  the 
Lord,  and  will  also  raise  up  us  by  his 
own  power. 

15  Know  ye  not  that  your  bodies  are 
the  members  of  Christ?  shall  I  then  take 
the  members  of  Christ,  and  make  them 
the  members  of  an  harlot?     God  forbid. 

16  What?  know  ye  not  that  he  which 
is  joined  to  an  harlot  is  one  body?  for 
two,  saith  he,  shall  be  one  flesh. 

17  But  he  that  is  joined  unto  the  Lord 
is  one  spirit. 

18  Flee  fornication.  Every  sin  that  a 
man  doeth  is  without  the  body ;  but

19  What?  know  ye  not  that  your  body 
is  the  temple  of  the  Holy  Ghost  which  is 
in  you,  which  ye  have  of  God,  and  ye 
are  not  your  own? 

20  For  ye  are  bought  with  a  price: 
therefore  glorify  God  in  your  body,  and

who  shall  be  able  to  decide  between 
his  brethren,  6  but  brother  goeth 
to  law  with  brother,  and  that  before 
unbelievers?  7  Nay,  already  it  is 
altogether  a  defect  in  you,  that  ye 
have  lawsuits  one  with  another. 
Why  not  rather  take  wrong?  why

of  themselves  with  men,  10  nor 
thieves,  nor  covetous,  nor  drunk- 
ards, nor  revilers,  nor  extortioners,

CHAPTER  7. 

NOW    concerning   the    things    whereof 
ye   wrote   unto   me:    It  is  good    for 
a  man  not  to  touch  a  woman. 

2  Nevertheless,  to  avoid  fornication,  let 
every  man  have  his  own  wife,  and  let 
every  woman  have  her  own  husband. 

3  Let  the  husband  render  unto  the  wife 
due  benevolence :  and  likewise  also  the 
wife    unto   the   husband. 

4  The  wife  hath  not  power  of  her  own 
body,  but  the  husband :  and  likewise  also 
the  husband  hath  not  power  of  his  own 
body,  but  the  wife. 

5  Defraud  ye  not  one  the  other,  except 
it  be  with  consent  for  a  time,  that  ye 
may  give  yourselves  to  fasting  and 
prayer;  and  come  together  again,  that 
Satan  tempt  you  not  for  your  inconti- 
nency. 

6  But  I  speak  this  by  permission,  and 
not  of  commandment. 

7  For  I  would  that  all  men  were  even 
as  I  myself.  But  every  man  hath  his 
proper  gift  of  God,  one  after  this  manner, 
and  another  after  that. 

8  I  say  therefore  to  the  unmarried  and 
widows.  It  is  good  for  them  if  they  abide 
even  as  I. 

9  But  if  they  cannot  contain,  let  them 
marry:  for  it  is  better  to  marry  than  to 
burn. 

ID  And  unto  the  married  I  command, 
yet  not  I,  but  the  Lord,  Let  not  the  wife 
depart  from  her  husband : 

11  But  and  if  she  depart,  let  her  remain 
unmarried,  or  be  reconciled  to  her  hus- 
band: and  let  not  the  husband  put  away 
his  wife. 

12  But  to  the  rest  speak  I,  not  the 
Lord:  If  any  brother  hath  a  wife  that 
believeth  not,  and  she  be  pleased  to  dwell 
with  him,  let  him  not  put  her  away. 

13  And  the  woman  which  hath  an  hus- 
band that  believeth  not,  and  if  he  be 
pleased  to  dwell  with  her,  let  her  not 
leave  Him. 

14  For  the  unbelieving  husband  is  sanc- 
tified by  the  wife,  and  the  unbelieving 
wife  is  sanctified  by  the  husband :  else 
were  your  children  unclean ;  but  now  are 
they  holy. 

15  But  if  the  unbelieving  depart,  let 
him  depart.  A  brother  or  a  sister  is  not 
under  bondage  in  such  cases:  but  God 
hath  called  us  to  peace. 

16  For  what  knowest  thou,  O  wife, 
whether    thou    shalt    save    thy    husband? 


^"VrOW  concerning  the  things 
7-i-l  whereof  ye  wrote :  It  is  good 
for  a  man  not  to  touch  a  woman. 
2  But,  because  of  fornications,  let 
each  man  have  his  own  wife,  and 
let  each  woman  have  her  own  hus- 
band. 3  Let  the  husband  render 
unto  the  wife  her  due :  and  like- 
wise also  the  wife  unto  the  hus- 
band. 4  The  wife  hath  not  power 
over  her  own  body,  but  the  hus- 
band :  and  likewise  also  the  husband 
hath  not  power  over  his  own  body, 
but  the  wife.  5  Defraud  ye  not 
one  the  other,  except  it  be  by  con- 
sent for  a  season,  that  ye  may  give 
yourselves  unto  prayer,  and  may  be 
together  again,  that  Satan  tempt 
you  not  because  of  your  inconti- 
nency.  6  But  this  I  say  by  way  of 
permission,  not  of  commandment. 
7  Yet  I  would  that  all  men  were 
even  as  I  myself.  Howbeit  each 
man  hath  his  own  gift  from  God, 
one  after  this  manner,  and  another 
after  that. 

8  But  I  say  to  the  unmarried  and 
to  widows,  It  is  good  for  them  if 
they  abide  even  as  I.  9  But  if 
they  have  not  continency,  let  them 
marry :  for  it  is  better  to  marry 
than  to  burn.  10  But  unto  the  mar- 
ried I  give  charge,  yea  not  I,  but 
the  Lord,  That  the  wife  depart  not 
from  her  husband  11  (but  and  if 
she  depart,  let  her  remain  unmar- 
ried, or  else  be  reconciled  to  her 
husband)  ;  and  that  the  husband 
leave  not  his  wife.  12  But  to  the 
rest  say  I,  not  the  Lord :  If  any 
brother  hath  an  unbelieving  wife, 
and  she  is  content  to  dwell  with 
him,  let  him  not  leave  her.  13  And 
the  woman  which  hath  an  unbe- 
lieving husband,  and  he  is  content 
to  dwell  with  her,  let  her  not  leave 
her  husband.  14  For  the  unbeliev- 
ing husband  is  sanctified  in  the 
wife,  and  the  unbelieving  wife  is 
sanctified  in  the  brother:  else  were 
your  children  unclean ;  but  now  are 
they  holy.  15  Yet  if  the  unbeliev- 
ing departeth,  let  him  depart :  the 
brother  or  the  sister  is  not  under 
bondage  in  such  cases:  but  God 
hath  called  us  in  peace.  16  For 
how  knowest  thou,  O  wife,  whether 
thou  shalt  save  thy  husband?  or

ried I  give  charge,  yea  not  I,  but 
the  Lord,  That  the  wife  depart  not 
from  her  husband  11  (but  should 
she  depart,  let  her  remain  unmar- 
ried, or  else  be  reconciled  to  her 
husband)  ;  and  that  the  husband 
leave  not  his  wife.  12  But  to  the 
rest  say  I,  not  the  Lord:  If  any 
brother  hath  an  unbelieving  wife, 
and  she  is  content  to  dwell  with 
him,  let  him  not  leave  her.  13  And 
the  woman  that  hath  an  unbeliev- 
ing husband,  and  he  is  content  to 
dwell  with  her,  let  her  not  leave 
her  husband.  14  For  the  unbeliev- 
ing husband  is  sanctified  in  the 
wife,  and  the  unbelieving  wife  is 
sanctified  in  the  brother :  else  were 
your  children  unclean ;  but  now  are 
they  holy.  15  Yet  if  the  unbeliev- 
ing departeth,  let  him  depart :  the 
brother  or  the  sister  is  not  under 
bondage  in  such  cases:  but  God 
hath  called  us  in  peace.  16  For 
how  knowest  thou,  O  wife,  whether 
thou  shalt  save  thy  husband?  or 
how    knowest    thou,     O     husband,

CHAPTER  7. 

OW    concerning   the   things    whereof 
you  wrote  to  me:  It  is  good  for  a 
man  not  to  touch  a  woman. 

2  But  for  fear  of  fornication,  let  every 
man  have  his  own  wife,  and  let  every 
woman  have  her  own  husband. 

3  Let  the  husband  render  the  debt  to 
his  wife,  and  the  wife  also  in  like  manner 
to  the  husband. 

4  The  wife  hath  not  power  of  her  own 
body,  but  the  husband.  And  in  like  man- 
ner the  husband  also  hath  not  power  of 
his  own  body,  but  the  wife. 

5  Defraud  not  one  another,  except,  per- 
haps, by  consent,  for  a  time,  that  you  may 
give  yourselves  to  prayer;  and  return  to- 
gether again,  lest  Satan 
your  incontinency. 

6  But  I   speak  this  by 
by  commandment. 

7  For  I  would  that  all  men  were  even 
as  myself:  but  every  one  hath  his  proper 
gift  from  God;  one  after  this  manner, 
and  another  after  that. 

8  But  I  say  to  the  unmarried,  and  to  the 
widows:  It  is  good  for  them  if  they  so 
continue,  even  as  I. 

9  But  if  they  do  not  contain 
selves,  let  them  marry.  For  it  is 
to  marry  than  to  be  burrft. 

10  But  to  them  that  are  married 
but  the  Lord  commandeth,  that  the  wife 
depart  not  from  her  husband. 

11  And  if  she  depart,  that  she  remain 
unmarried,  or  be  reconciled  to  her  hus- 
band. And  let  not  the  husband  put  away 
his  wife. 

12  For  to  the  rest  I  speak,  not  the  Lord. 
If  any  brother  hath  a  wife  that  believeth 
not,  and  she  consent  to  dwell  with  him, 
let  him  not  put  her  away. 

13  And  if  any  woman  hath  a  husband 
that  believeth  not,  and  he  consent  to 
dwell  with  her,  let  her  not  put  away  her 
husband. 

14  For  the  unbelieving  husband  is  sanc- 
tified by  the  believing  wife;  and  the  un- 
believing wife  is  sanctified  by  the  believ- 
ing husband:  otherwise  your  children 
should  be  unclean;  but  now  they  are 
holy. 

15  But  if  the  unbeliever  depart,  let  him 
depart.  For  a  brother  or  sister  is  not 
under  servitude  in  such  cases.  But  God 
hath  called  us  in  peace. 

16  For  how  knowest  thou,  O  wife, 
whether    thou    shalt    save    thy    husband?

or  how   knowest   thou,   O   man,   whether 
thou  shalt  save  thy  wife? 

17  But  as  God  hath  distributed  to  every 
man,  as  the  Lord  hath  called  every  one, 
so  let  him  walk.  And  so  ordain  I  in  all 
churches. 

18  Is  any  man  called  being  circum- 
cised? let  him  not  become  uncircumcised. 
Is  any  called  in  uncircumcision  ?  let  him 
not  be  circumcised. 

19  Circumcision  is  nothing,  and  uncir- 
cumcision is  nothing,  but  the  keeping  of 
the  commandments  of  God. 

20  Let  every  man  abide  in  the  same 
calling  wherein  he  was  called. 

21  Art  thou  called  being  a  servant?  care 
not  for  it:  but  if  thou  mayest  be  made 
free,  use  it  rather, 

22  For  he  that  is  called  in  the  Lord, 
being  a  servant,  is  the  Lord's  freeman: 
likewise  also  he  that  is  called,  being  free, 
is  Christ's  servant. 

23  Ye  are  bought  with  a  price;  be  not 
ye  the  servants  of  men. 

24  Brethren,  let  every  man,  wherein  he 
is   called,   therein  abide   with   God. 

25  Now  concerning  virgins  I  have  no 
commandment  of  the  Lord :  yet  I  give 
my  judgment,  as  one  that  hath  obtained 
mercy  of  the  Lord  to  be  faithful. 

26  I  suppose  therefore  that  this  is  good 
for  the  present  distress,  /  say,  that  it  is 
good  for  a  man  so  to  be. 

27  Art  thou  bound  unto  a  wife?  seek 
not  to  be  loosed.  Art  thou  loosed  from 
a  wife?   seek  not  a   wife. 

28  But  and  if  thou  marry,  thou  hast 
not  sinned;  and  if  a  virgin  marry,  she 
hath  not  sinned.  Nevertheless  such  shall 
have  trouble  in  the  flesh :  but  I  spare 
you. 

29  But  this  I  say,  brethren,  the  time  is 
short :  it  remaineth,  that  both  they  that 
have  wives  be  as  though  they  had  none; 

30  And  they  that  weep,  as  though  they 
wept  not;  and  they  that  rejoice,  as  though 
they  rejoiced  not;  and  they  that  buy,  as 
though  they  possessed  not ; 

31  And  they  that  use  this  world,  as 
not  abusing  it:  for  the  fashion  of  this 
world  passeth   away. 

32  But  I  would  have  you  without  care- 
fulness. He  that  is  unmarried  careth  for 
the  things  that  belong  to  the  Lord,  how 
he  may  please  the  Lord : 

33  But  he  that  is  married  careth  for 
the  things  that  are  of  the  world,  how  he 
may  please  his  wife. 

34  There  is  difference  also  between  a 


whether  thou  shall  save  thy  wife? 

17  Only  as  the  Lord  hath  dis- 
tributed to  each  man,  as  God  hath 
called  each,  so  let  him  walk.  And 
so    ordain    I    in    all    the    churches. 

18  Was  any  man  called  being  cir- 
cumcised? let  him  not  become  un- 
circumcised. Hath  any  been  called 
in  uncircumcision?  let  him  not  be 
circumcised.  19  Circumcision  is 
nothing,  and  uncircumcision  is 
nothing;  but  the  keeping  of  the 
commandments  of  God.  20  Let 
each  man  abide  in  that  calling 
wherein  he  was  called.  21  Wast 
thou  called  being  a  bondservant? 
care  not  for  it:  but  if  thou  canst 
become  free,  use  it  rather.  22  For 
he  that  was  called  in  the  Lord, 
being  a  bondservant,  is  the  Lord's 
freedman :  likewise  he  that  was 
called,  being  free,  is  Christ's  bond- 
servant. 23  Ye  were  bought  with 
a  price ;  become  not  bondservants 
of  men.  24  Brethren,  let  each  man, 
wherein  he  was  called,  therein 
abide  with  God. 

25  Now  concerning  virgins  I 
have  no  commandment  of  the  Lord : 
but  I  give  my  judgement,  as  one 
that  hath  obtained  mercy  of  the 
Lord  to  be  faithful.  26  I  think 
therefore  that  this  is  good  by  rea- 
son of  the  present  distress,  namely, 
that  it  is  good  for  a  man  to  be  as 
he  is.  27  Art  thou  bound  unto  a 
wife?  seek  not  to  be  loosed.  Art 
thou  loosed  from  a  wife?  seek  not 
a  wife.  28  But  and  if  thou  marry, 
thou  hast  not  sinned ;  and  if  a  vir- 
gin marry,  she  hath  not  sinned. 
Yet  such  shall  have  tribulation  in 
the  flesh:  and  I  would  spare  you. 
29  But  this  I  say,  brethren,  the 
time  is  shortened,  that  henceforth 
both  those  that  have  wives  may  be 
as  though  they  had  none ;  30  and 
those  that  weep,  as  though  they 
wept  not;  and  those  that  rejoice,  as 
though  they  rejoiced  not;  and  those 
that  buy,  as  though  they  possessed 
not;  31  and  those  that  use  the 
world,  as  not  abusing  it;  for  the 
fashion  of  this  world  passeth  away. 

32  But  I  would  have  you  to  be  free 
from  cares.  He  that  is  unmarried 
is  careful  for  the  things  of  the 
Lord,  how  he  may  please  the  Lord :

whether  thou  shalt  save  thy  wife? 
17  Only,  as  the  Lord  hath  dis- 
tributed to  each  man,  as  God  hath 
called  each,  so  let  him  walk.  And 
so  ordain  I  in  all  the  churches.  18 
Was  any  man  called  being  circum- 
cised? let  him  not  become  uncir- 
cumcised.  Hath  any  been  called  in 
uncircumcision?  let  him  not  be  cir- 
cumcised. 19  Circumcision  is  noth- 
ing, and  uncircumcision  is  nothing; 
but  the  keeping  of  the  command- 
ments of  God.  20  Let  each  man 
abide  in  that  calling  wherein  he  was 
called.  21  Wast  thou  called  being 
a  bondservant  ?  care  not  for  it :  nay, 
even  if  thou  canst  become  free,  use 
it  rather.  22  For  he  that  was  called 
in  the  Lord  being  a  bondservant, 
is  the  Lord's  freedman :  likewise  he 
that  was  called  being  free,  is 
Christ's  bondservant.  23  Ye  were 
bought  with  a  price;  become  not 
bondservants  of  men.  24  Brethren, 
let  each  man,  wherein  he  was  called, 
therein  abide  with  God. 

25  Now  concerning  virgins,  I 
have  no  commandment  of  the 
Lord:  but  I  give  my  judgment,  as 
one  that  hath  obtained  mercy  of 
the  Lord  to  be  trustworthy.  26  I 
think  therefore  that  this  is  good 
by  reason  of  the  distress  that  is 
upon  us,  namely,  that  it  is  good  for 
a  man  to  be  as  he  is.  27  Art  thou 
bound  unto  a  wife?  seek  not  to  be 
loosed.  Art  thou  loosed  from  a 
wife?  seek  not  a  wife.  28  But 
shouldst  thou  marry,  thou  hast  not 
sinned;  and  if  a  virgin  marry,  she 
hath  not  sinned.  Yet  such  shall 
have  tribulation  in  the  flesh:  and 
I  would  spare  you.  29  But  this  I 
say.  brethren,  the  time  is  shortened, 
that  henceforth  both  those  that  have 
wives  may  be  as  though  they  had 
none;  30  and  those  that  weep,  as 
though  they  wept  not;  and  those 
that  rejoice,  as  though  they  re- 
joiced not;  and  those  that  buy,  as 
though  they  possessed  not;  31  and 
those  that  use  the  world,  as  not 
using  it  to  the  full :  for  the  fashion 
of  this  world  passeth  away.  32  But 
I  would  have  you  to  be  free  from 
cares.  He  that  is  unmarried  is 
careful  for  the  things  of  the  Lord, 
how  he  may  please  the  Lord :  33 
but   he   that  is   married   is   careful 


Or  how  knowest  thou,   O  man,   whether 
thou  shalt  save  thy  wife? 

17  But  as  the  Lord  hath  distributed  to 
every  one,  as  God  hath  called  every  one, 
so  let  him  walk:  and  so  in  all  churches 
I  teach. 

18  Is  any  man  called,  being  circum- 
cised ?  let  him  not  procure  uncircumcision. 
Is  any  man  called  in  uncircumcision?  let 
him  not  be  circumcised. 

19  Circumcision  is  nothing,  and  uncir- 
cumcision is  nothing:  but  the  observance 
of  the  commandments  of  God. 

20  Let  every  man  abide  in  the  same 
calling  in  which  he  was  called. 

21  Wast  thou  called,  being  a  bondman? 
care  not  for  it;  bat  if  thou  mayest  be 
made  free,  use  it  rather. 

22  For  he  that  is  called  in  the  Lord, 
being  a  bondman,  is  the  freeman  of  the 
Lord.  Likewise  he  that  is  called,  being 
free,  is  the  bondman  of  Christ. 

23  You  are  bought  with  a  price ;  be  not 
made  the  bondslaves  of  men. 

24  Brethren,  let  every  man,  wherein  he 
was  called,  therein  abide  with  God. 

25  Now  concerning  virgins,  I  have  no 
commandment  of  the  Lord;  but  I  give 
counsel,  as  having  obtained  mercy  of  the 
Lord,  to  be  faithful. 

26  I  think  therefore  that  this  is  good 
for  the  present  necessity,  that  it  is  good 
for  a  man  so  to  be. 

27  Art  thou  bound  to  a  wife?  seek  not 
to  be  loosed.  Art  thou  loosed  from  a 
wife?  seek  not  a  wife. 

28  But  if  thou  take  a  wife,  thou  hast 
not  sinned.  And  if  a  virgin  marry,  she 
hath  not  sinned:  nevertheless,  such  shall 
have  tribulation  of  the  flesh.  But  I 
spare  you, 

29  This  therefore  I  say,  brethren;  the 
time  is  short;  it  remaineth,  that  they  also 
who  have  wives,  be  as  if  they  had  none ; 

30  And  they  that  weep,  as  though  they 
wept  not;  and  they  that  rejoice,  as  if 
they  rejoiced  not;  and  they  that  buy,  as 
though  they  possessed  not; 

31  And  they  that  use  this  world,  as  if 
they  used  it  not :  for  the  fashion  of  this 
world  passeth  away. 

32  But  I  would  have  you  to  be  without 
solicitude.  He  that  is  without  a  wife, 
is  solicitous  for  the  things  that  belong  to 
the  Lord,  how  he  may  please  God. 

33  But  he  that  is  with  a  wife,  is  solicit- 
ous for  the  things  of  the  world,  how  he 
may  please  his  wife:  and  he  is  divided. 

34  And  the  unmarried  woman  and  the

wife  and  a  virgin.  The  unmarried  woman 
careth  for  the  things  of  the  Lord,  that 
she  may  be  holy  both  in  body  and  in 
spirit:  but  she  that  is  married  careth  for 
the  things  of  the  world,  how  she  may 
please  her  husband. 

35  And  this  I  speak  for  your  own 
profit;  not  that  I  may  cast  a  snare  upon 
you,  but  for  that  which  is  comely,  and 
that  ye  may  attend  upon  the  Lord  without 
distraction. 

36  But  if  any  man  think  that  he  be- 
haveth  himself  uncomely  toward  his  vir- 
gin, if  she  pass  the  flower  of  her  age, 
and  need  so  require,  let  him  do  what  he 
will,  he  sinneth.not:  let  them  marry, 

2,7  Nevertheless  he  that  standeth  sted- 
fast  in  his  heart,  having  no  necessity,  but 
hath  power  over  his  own  will,  and  hath 
so  decreed  in  his  heart  that  he  will  keep 
his  virgin,  doeth  well. 

38  So  then  he  that  giveth  her  in  mar- 
riage doeth  well ;  but  he  that  giveth  her 
not  in  marriage  doeth  better. 

39  The  wife  is  bound  by  the  law  as 
long  as  her  husband  liveth ;  but  if  her 
husband  be  dead,  she  is  at  liberty  to  be 
married  to  whom  she  will ;  only  in  the 
Lord. 

40  But  she  is  happier  if  she  so  abide, 
after  my  judgment:  and  I  think  also 
that  I  have  the  Spirit  of  God. 


CHAPTER  8. 

NOW  as  touching  things  oflFered  unto 
idols,  we  know  that  we  all  have 
knowledge.  Knowledge  puflfeth  up,  but 
charity  edifieth. 

2  And  if  any  man  think  that  he  know- 
eth  any  thing,  he  knoweth  nothing  yet  as 
he  ought  to  know. 

3  But  if  any  man  love  God,  the  same 
is  known  of  him. 

4  As  concerning  therefore  the  eating 
of  those  things  that  are  offered  in  sacri- 
fice unto  idols,  we  know  that  an  idol  is 
nothing  in  the  world,  and  that  there  is 
none  other  God  but  one. 

5  For  though  there  be  that  are  called 
gods,  whether  in  heaven  or  in  earth,  (as 
there  be  gods  many,  and  lords  many,) 

6  But  to  us  there  is  hut  one  God,  the 
Father,  of  whom  are  all  things,  and  we 


for  the  things  of  the  world,  how 
he  may  please  his  wife.  34  And 
there  is  a  difference  also  between 
the  wife  and  the  virgin.  She  that 
is  unmarried  is  careful  for  the 
things  of  the  Lord,-  that  she  may 
be  holy  both  in  body  and  in  spirit : 
but  she  that  is  married  is  careful 
for  the  things  of  the  world,  how 
she  may  please  her  husband.  35 
And  this  I  say  for  yout  own  profit; 
not  that  I  may  cast  a  snare  upon 
you,  but  for  that  which  is  seemly, 
and  that  ye  may  attend  upon  the 
Lord  without  distraction.  36  But 
if  any  man  thinketh  that  he  be- 
haveth  himself  unseemly  toward  his 
virgin  daughter,  if  she  be  past  the 
flower  of  her  age,  and  if  need  so 
requireth,  let  him  do  what  he  will; 
he  sinneth  not ;  let  them  marry. 
Z7  But  he  that  standeth  stedfast 
in  his  heart,  having  no  necessity, 
but  hath  power  as  touching  his  own 
will,  and  hath  determined  this  in 
his  own  heart,  to  keep  his  own  vir- 
gin daughter,  shall  do  well.  38  So 
then  both  he  that  giveth  his  own 
virgin  daughter  in  marriage  doeth 
well ;  and  he  that  giveth  her  not  in 
marriage  shall  do  better,  39  A  wife 
is  bound  for  so  long  time  as  her 
husband  liveth;  but  if  the  husband 
be  dead,  she  is  free  to  be  married  to 
whom  she  will ;  only  in  the  Lord. 
40  But  she  is  happier  if  she  abide 
as  she  is,  after  my  judgement:  and 

1  think  that  I  also  have  the  Spirit 
of  God. 

qI^OW  concerning  things  sacri- 
0±\  ficed  to  idols :  We  know  that 
we  all  have  knowledge.  Knowl- 
edge puffeth   up,   but  love  edifieth. 

2  If  any  man  thinketh  that  he 
knoweth  anything,  he  knoweth  not 
yet  as  he  ought  to  know ;  3  but 
if  any  man  loveth  God,  the  same 
is  known  of  him.  4  Concerning 
therefore  the  eating  of  things  sacri- 
ficed to  idols,  we  know  that  no  idol 
is  anything  in  the  world,  and  that 
there  is  no  God  but  one.  5  For 
though  there  be  that  are  called  gods, 
whether  in  heaven  or  on  earth  ;  as 
there  are  gods  many,  and  lords 
many ;  6  yet  to  us  there  is  one  God, 
the  Father,  of  whom  are  all  things, 
and  we  unto  him;   and  one  Lord,

for  the  things  of  the  world,  how  he 
may  please  his  wife,  34  and  is  di- 
vided. So  also  the  woman  that  is 
unmarried  and  the  virgin  is  careful 
for  the  things  of  the  Lord,,  that  she 
may  be  holy  both  in  body  and  in 
spirit:  but  she  that  is  married  is 
careful  for  the  things  of  the  world, 
how   she  may  please   her  husband. 

35  And  this  I  say  for  your  own 
profit;  not  that  I  may  cast  a  snare 
upon  you,  but  for  that  which  is 
seemly,  and  that  ye  may  attend 
upon  the  Lord  without  distraction. 

36  But  if  any  man  thinketh  that  he 
behaveth  himself  unseemly  toward 
his  virgin  daughter,  if  she  be  past 
the  flower  of  her  age,  and  if  need 
so  requireth,  let  him  do  what  he 
will;  he  sinneth  not;  let  them 
marry.  37  But  he  that  standeth 
sted^st  in  his  heart,  having  no  ne- 
cessity, but  hath  power  as  touching 
his  own  will,  and  hath  determined 
this  in  his  own  heart,  to  keep  his 
own  virgin  daughter,  shall  do  well. 
38  So  then  both  he  that  giveth  his 
own  virgin  daughter  in  marriage 
doeth  well;  and  he  that  giveth  her 
not  in  marriage  shall  do  better.  39 
A  wife  is  bound  for  so  long  time 
as  her  husband  liveth;  but  if  the 
husband  be  dead,  she  is  free  to  te 
married  to  whom  she  will;  only  in 
the  Lord.  40  But  she  is  happier  if 
she  abide  as  she  is,  after  my  judg- 
ment: and  I  think  that  I  also  have 
the  Spirit  of  God. 


rt'VTOW  concerning  things  sacri- 
0X1  ficed  to  idols :  We  know  that 
we  all  have  knowledge.  Knowl- 
edge puffeth  up,  but  love  edifieth. 
2  If  any  man  thinketh  that  he 
knoweth  anything,  he  knoweth  not 
yet  as  he  ought  to  know ;  3  but  if 
any  man  loveth  God,  the  same 
is  known  by  him.  4  Concerning 
therefore  the  eating  of  things  sacri- 
ficed to  idols,  we  know  that  no  idol 
is  anything  in  the  world,  and  that 
there  is  no  God  but  one.  5  For 
though  there  be  that  are  called  gods, 
whether  in  heaven  or  on  earth;  as 
there  are  gods  many,  and  lords 
many;  6  yet  to  us  there  is  one 
God,  the  Father,  of  whom  are  all 
things,  and  we  unto  him;  and  one 


virgin  thinketh  on  the  things  of  the  Lord, 
that  she  may  be  holy  both  in  body  and 
in  spirit.  But  she  that  is  married  think- 
eth on  the  things  of  the  world,  how  she 
may  please  her  husband. 

35  And  this  I  speak  for  your  profit :  not 
to  cast  a  snare  upon  you;  but  for  that 
which  is  decent,  and  which  may  give  you 
power  to  attend  upon  the  Lord,  without 
impediment. 

36  But  if  any  man  think  that  he  seem- 
eth  dishonoured,  with  regard  to  his  vir- 
gin, for  that  she  is  above  the  age,  and  it 
must  so  be:  let  him  do  what  he  will;  he 
sinneth  not,  if  she  marry. 

37  For  he  that  hath  determined  being 
steadfast  in  his  heart,  having  no  neces- 
sity, but  having-  power  of  his  own  will; 
and  hath  judged  this  in  his  heart,  to  keep 
his  virgin,  doth  well. 

38  Therefore,  both  he  that  giveth  his 
virgin  in  marriage,  doth  well;  and  he 
that  giveth  her  not,  doth  better. 

39  A  woman  is  bound  by  the  law  as 
long  as  her  husband  liveth;  but  if  her 
husband  die,  she  is  at  liberty:  let  her 
marry  to  whom  she  will;  only  in  the 
Lord. 

40  But  more  blessed  shall  she  be,  if  she 
so  remain,  according  to  my  counsel ;  and 
I  think  that  I  also  have  the  spirit  of 
God. 


CHAPTER  8. 

NOW  concerning  those  things  that  are 
sacrificed  to  idols,  we  know  that  we 
all  have  knowedge.  Knowledge  puffeth 
up;  but  charity  edifieth. 

2  And  if  any  man  think  that  he  know- 
eth any  thing,  he  hath  not  yet  known  as 
he  ought  to  know. 

3  But  if  any  man  love  God,  the  same  is 
known  by  him. 

4  But  as  for  the  meats  that  are  sacri- 
ficed to  idols,  we  know  that  an  idol  is 
nothing  in  the  world,  and  that  there  is 
no  God  but  one. 

5  For  although  there  be  that  are  called 
gods,  either  in  heaven  or  on  earth 
(for  there  be  gods  many,  and  lords 
many)  ; 

6  Yet  to  us  there  is  but  one  God,  the 
Father,  of  whom  are  all  things,  and  we

in   him;  and  one  Lord  Jesus   Christ,  by 
whom  are  all  things,  and  we  by  him. 

7  Howbeit  there  is  not  in  every  man 
that  knowledge :  for  some  with  conscience 
of  the  idol  unto  this  hour  eat  it  as  a 
thing  offered  unto  an  idol;  and  their 
conscience  being  weak  is  defiled. 

8  But  meat  commendeth  us  not  to  God : 
for  neither,  if  we  eat,  are  we  the  better; 
neither,  if  we  eat  not,  are  we  the  worse. 

9  But  take  heed  lest  by  any  means  this 
liberty  of  your's  become  a  stumblingblock 
to  them  that  are  weak. 

10  For  if  any  man  see  thee  which  hast 
knowledge  sit  at  meat  in  the  idol's  tem- 
ple, shall  not  the  conscience  of  him  which 
is  weak  be  emboldened  to  eat  those  things 
which  are  offered  to  idols; 

11  And  through  thy  knowledge  shall 
the  weak  brother  perish,  for  whom  Christ 
died? 

12  But  when  ye  sin  so  against  the 
brethren,  and  wound  their  weak  con- 
science, ye  sin  against  Christ. 

13  Wherefore,  if  meat  make  my  brother 
to  offend,  I  will  eat  no  flesh  while  the 
world  standeth,  lest  I  make  my  brother 
to  offend. 

CHAPTER  9. 

AM  I  not  an  apostle?  am  I  not  free? 
have    I    not    seen   Jesus    Christ   our 
Lord?  are  not  ye  my  work  in  the  Lord? 

2  If  I  be  not  an  apostle  unto  others, 
yet  doubtless  I  am  to  you:  for  the  seal 
of  mine  apostleship  are  ye  in  the  Lord. 

3  Mine  answer  to  them  that  do  ex- 
amine me  is  this, 

4  Have  we  not  power  to  eat  and  to 
drink? 

5  Have  we  not  power  to  lead  about 
a  sister,  a  wife,  as  well  as  other  apostles, 
and  as  the  brethren  of  the  Lord,  and 
Cephas  ? 

6  Or  I  only  and  Barnabas,  have  not 
we  power  to  forbear  working? 

7  Who  goeth  a  warfare  any  time  at 
his  own  charges?  who  planteth  a  vine- 
yard, and  eateth  not  of  the  fruit 
thereof?  or  who  feedeth  a  flock,  and  eat- 
eth not  of  the  milk  of  the  flock? 

8  Say  I  these  things  as  a  man?  or  saith 
not  the  law  the  same  also? 

9  For  it  is  written  in  the  law  of  Moses, 
Thou  shalt  not  muzzle  the  mouth  of  the 
ox  that  treadeth  out  the  corn.  Doth 
God  take  care  for  oxen? 

10  Or    saith   he   it   altogether    for   our 


Jesus  Christ,  through  whom  are  all 
things,  and  we  through  him.  7 
Howbeit  in  all  men  there  is  not 
that  knowledge :  but  some,  being 
used  until  now  to  the  idol,  eat  as 
of  a  thing  sacrificed  to  an  idol ;  and 
their  conscience  being  weak  is  de- 
filed. 8  But  meat  will  not  commend 
us  to  God:  neither,  if  we  eat  not, 
are  we  the  worse;  nor,  if  we  eat, 
are  we  the  better.  9  But  take  heed 
lest  by  any  means  this  liberty  of 
yours  become  a  stumblingblock  to 
the  weak.  10  For  if  a  man  see  thee 
which  hast  knowledge  sitting  at 
meat  in  an  idol's  temple,  will  not 
his  conscience,  if  he  is  weak,  be 
emboldened  to  eat  things  sacrificed 
to  idols?  II  For  through  thy 
knowledge  he  that  is  weak  perish- 
eth,  the  brother  for  whose  sake 
Christ  died.  12  And  thus,  signing 
against  the  brethren,  and  wounding 
their  conscience  when  it  is  weak, 
ye  sin  against  Christ.  13  Where- 
fore, if  meat  maketh  my  brother  to 
stumble,  I  will  eat  no  flesh  for  ever- 
more, that  I  make  not  my  brother 
to  stumble. 


AMI  not  free?  am  I  not  an 
9-^  apostle?  have  I  not  seen 
Jesus  our  Lord?  are  not  ye  my 
work  in  the  Lord?  2  If  to  others  I 
am  not  an  apostle,  yet  at  least  I  am 
to  you :  for  the  seal  of  mine  apos- 
tleship are  ye  in  the  Lord.  3  My 
defence  to  them  that  examine  me 
is  this.  4  Have  we  no  right  to  eat 
and  to  drink?  5  Have  we  no  right 
to  lead  about  a  wife  that  is  a  be- 
liever, even  as  the  rest  of  the  apos- 
tles, and  the  brethren  of  the  Lord, 
and  Cephas?  6  Or  I  only  and  Bar- 
nabas, have  we  not  a  right  to  for- 
bear working?  7  What  soldier  ever 
serveth  at  his  own  charges?  who 
planteth  a  vineyard,  and  eateth  not 
the  fruit  thereof?  or  who  feedeth  a 
flock,  and  eateth  not  of  the  milk  of 
the  flock?  8  Do  I  speak  these 
things  after  the  manner  of  men?  or 
saith    not    the   law   also   the    same? 

9  For  it  is  written  in  the  law  of 
Moses,  Thou  shalt  not  muzzle  the 
ox  when  he  treadeth  out  the  corn. 
Is  it  for  the  oxen  that  God  careth, 

10  or  saith  he  it  altogether  for  our

Lord,  Jesus  Christ,  through  whom 
are  all  things,  and  we  through  him. 
7  Howbeit  there  is  not  in  all  men 
that  knowledge:  but  some,  being 
used  until  now  to  the  idol,  eat  as 
of  a  thing  sacrificed  to  an  idol ;  and 
their  conscience  being  weak  is  de- 
filed. 8  But  food  will  not  com- 
mend us  to  God:  neither,  if  we  eat 
not,  are  we  the  worse;  nor,  if  we 
eat,  are  we  the  better.  9  But  take 
heed  lest  by  any  means  this  liberty 
of  yours  become  a  stumblingblock 
to  the  weak.  10  For  if  a  man  see 
thee  who  hast  knowledge  sitting  at 
meat  in  an  idol's  temple,  will  not 
his  conscience,  if  he  is  weak,  be 
emboldened  to  eat  things  sacrificed 
to  idols?  II  For  through  thy 
knowledge  he  that  is  weak  perish- 
eth,  the  brother  for  whose  sake 
Christ  died.  12  And  thus,  sinning 
against  the  brethren,  and  wounding 
their  conscience  when  it  is  weak, 
ye  sin  against  Christ.  13  Where- 
fore, if  meat  causeth  my  brother 
to  stumble,  I  will  eat  no  flesh  for 
evermore,  that  I  cause  not  my 
brother  to  stumble. 


AMI  not  free?  am  I  not  an 
9-^  apostle?  have  I  not  seen 
Jesus  our  Lord?  are  not  ye  my 
work  in  the  Lord?  2  If  to  others 
I  am  not  an  apostle,  yet  at  least  I 
am  to  you;  for  the  seal  of  mine 
apostleship  are  ye  in  the  Lord. 
3  My  defence  to  them  that  exam- 
ine me  is  this.  4  Have  we  no  right 
to  eat  and  to  drink?  5  Have  we 
no  right  to  lead  about  a  wife  that 
is  a  believer,  even  as  the  rest  of 
the  apostles,  and  the  brethren  of 
the  Lord,  and  Cephas?  6  Or  I 
only  and  Barnabas,  have  we  not  a 
right  to  forbear  working?  7  What 
soldier  ever  serveth  at  his  own 
charges?  who  planteth  a  vineyard, 
and  eateth  not  the  fruit  thereof? 
or  who  feedeth  a  flock,  and  eateth 
not  of  the  milk  of  the  flock?  8  Do 
I  speak  these  things  after  the  man- 
ner of  men?  or  saith  not  the  law 
also  the  same?  9  For  it  is  written 
in  the  law  of  Moses,  Thou  shalt 
not  muzzle  the  ox  when  he  tread- 
eth  out  the  corn.  Is  it  for  the  oxen 
that  God  careth,  10  or  saith  h^  it 


unto  him;  and  one  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  by 
whom  are  all  things,  and  we  by  him. 

7  But  there  is  not  knowledge  in  every 
one.  For  some  until  this  present,  with 
conscience  of  the  idol :  eat  as  a  thing 
sacrificed  to  an  idol,  and  their  conscience, 
being  weak,  is  defiled. 

8  But  meat  doth  not  commend  us  to 
God.  For  neither,  if  we  eat,  shall  we 
have  the  more;  nor,  if  we  eat  not,  shall 
we  have  the  less. 

9  But  take  heed  lest  perhaps  this  your 
liberty  become  a  stumblingblock  to  the 
weak. 

10  For  if  a  man  see  him  that  hath 
knowledge  sit  at  meat  in  the  idol's  tem- 
ple, shall  not  his  conscience,  being  weak, 
be  emboldened  to  eat  those  things  which 
are  sacrificed  to  idols? 

11  And  through  thy  knowledge  shall 
the  weak  brother  perish,  for  whom 
Christ  hath  died? 

12  Now  when  you  sin  thus  against  the 
brethren,  and  wound  their  weak  con- 
science, you  sin  against  Christ. 

13  Wherefore,  if  meat  scandalize  my 
brother,  I  will  never  eat  flesh,  lest  I 
should  scandalize  my  brother. 

CHAPTER  9. 

AM  not  I  free?  Am  not  I  an  apostle? 
Have  not  I  seen  Christ  Jesus  our 
Lord?  Are  not  you  my  work  in  the 
Lord? 

2  And  if  unto  others  I  be  not  an  apos- 
tle, but  yet  to  you  I  am.  For  you  are  the 
seal  of  my  apostleship  in  the  Lord. 

3  My  defence  with  them  that  do  ex- 
amine me  is  this. 

4  Have  not  we  power  to  eat  and  to 
drink? 

5  Have  we  not  power  to  carry  about  a 
woman,  a  sister,  as  well  as  the  rest  of 
the  apostles,  and  the  brethren  of  the 
Lord,  and  Cephas? 

6  Or  I  only  and  Barnabas,  have  not  we 
power  to  do  this? 

7  Who  serveth  as  a  soldier  at  any  time, 
at  his  own  charges?  Wlio  planteth  a 
vineyard,  and  eateth  not  of  the  fruit 
thereof?  Who  feedeth  the  flock,  and  eat- 
eth not  of  the  milk  of  the  flock? 

8  Speak  I  these  things  according  to 
man?  Or  doth  not  the  law  also  say  these 
things? 

9  For  it  is  written  in  the  law  of  Moses: 
Thou  shalt  not  muzzle  the  mputh  of  thf

sakes?  For  our  sakes,  no  doubt,  this  is 
written :  that  he  that  ploweth  should  plow 
in  hope ;  and  that  he  that  thresheth  in 
hope  should  be  partaker  of  his  hope. 

11  If  we  have  sown  unto  you  spiritual 
things,  is  it  a  great  thing  if  we  shall  reap 
your  carnal  things? 

12  If  others  be  partakers  of  this  power 
over  you,  are  not  we  rather?  Neverthe- 
less we  have  not  used  this  power ;  but 
suffer  all  things,  lest  we  should  hinder 
the  gospel  of  Christ. 

13  Do  ye  not  know  that  they  which 
minister  about  holy  things  live  of  the 
things  of  the  temple?  and  they  which  wait 
at  the  altar  are  partakers  with  the  altar? 

14  Even  so  hath  the  Lord  ordained  that 
they  which  preach  the  gospel  should  live 
of  the  gospel. 

15  But  I  have  used  none  of  these 
things:  neither  have  I  written  these 
things,  that  it  should  be  so  done  unto 
me :  for  it  were  better  for  me  to  die,  than 
that  any  man  should  make  my  glorying 
void. 

16  For  though  I  preach  the  gospel,  I 
have  nothing  to  glory  of:  for  necessity 
is  laid  upon  me ;  yea,  woe  is  unto  me,  if 
I  preach  not  the  gospel ! 

17  For  if  I  do  this  thing  willingly,  I 
have  a  reward:  but  if  against  my  will, 
a  dispensation  of  the  gospel  is  committed 
unto  me. 

18  What  is  my  reward  then?  Verily 
that,  when  I  preach  the  gospel,  I  may 
make  the  gospel  of  Christ  without  charge, 
that  I  abuse  not  my  power  in  the  gospel. 

19  For  though  I  be  free  from  all  men, 
yet  have  I  made  myself  servant  unto  all, 
that  I  might  gain  the  more.    , 

20  And  unto  the  Jews  I  became  as  a 
Jew,  that  I  might  gain  the  Jews ;  to  them 
that  are  under  the  law,  as  under  the  law, 
that  I  might  gain  them  that  are  under 
the  law ; 

21  To  them  that  are  without  law,  as 
without  law,  (being  not  without  law  to 
God,  but  under  the  law  to  Christ,)  that 
I  might  gain  them  that  are  without  law. 

22  To  the  weak  became  I  as  weak,  that 
I  might  gain  the  weak:  I  am  made  all 
things  to  all  men,  that  I  might  by  all 
means   save   some. 

23  And  this  I  do  for  the  gospel's  sake, 
that  I  might  be  partaker  thereof  with 
you. 

24  Know  ye  not  that  they  which  run 
in  a  race  run  all,  but  one  receiveth  the 
prize?     So  run,  that  ye  may  obtain. 


sake?  Yea,  for  our  sake  it  was 
written:  because  he  that  ploweth 
ought  to  plow  in  hope,  and  he  that 
thresheth,  to  thresh  in  hope  of  par- 
taking. II  If  we  sowed  unto  you 
spiritual  things,  is  it  a  great  matter 
if  we  shall  reap  your  carnal  things.^ 
12  If  others  partake  of  this  right 
over  you,  do  not  we  yet  more? 
Nevertheless  we  did  not  use  this 
right;  but  we  bear  all  things,  that 
we  may  cause  no  hindrance  to  the 
gospel  of  Christ.  13  Know  ye  not 
that  they  which  minister  about  sa- 
cred things  eat  of  the  things  of  the 
temple,  and  they  which  wait  upon 
the  altar  have  their  portion  with 
the  altar?  14  Even  so  did  the  Lord 
ordain  that  they  which  proclaim 
the  gospel  should  live  of  the  gos- 
pel. 15  But  I  have  used  none  of 
these  things :  and  I  write  not  these 
things  that  it  may  be  so  done  in 
my  case :  for  it  were  good  for  me 
rather  to  die,  than  that  any  man 
should     make     my     glorying     void. 

16  For  if  I  preach  the  gospel,  I 
have  nothing  to  glory  of;  for  ne- 
cessity is  laid  upon  me ;  for  woe  is 
unto  me,  if  I  preach  not  the  gospel. 

17  For  if  I  do  this  of  mine  own 
will,  I  have  a  reward :  but  if  not  of 
mine  own  will,  I  have  a  steward- 
ship intrusted  to  me.  18  What  then 
is  my  reward?  That,  when  I 
preach  the  gospel,  I  may  make  the 
gospel  without  charge,  so  as  not  to 
use  to  the  full  my  right  in  the  gos- 
pel. 19  For  though  I  was  free  from 
all  men,  I  brought  myself  under 
bondage  to  all,  that  I  might  gain 
the  more.  20  And  to  the  Jews  I 
became  as  a  Jew,  that  I  might  gain 
Jews ;  to  them  that  are  under  the 
law,  as  under  the  law,  not  being 
myself  under  the  law,  that  I  might 
gain  them  that  are  under  the  law; 
21  to  them  that  are  without  law, 
as  without  law,  not  being  without 
law  to  God,  but  under  law  to 
Christ,  that  I  might  gain  them  that 
are  without  law.  22  To  the  weak 
I  became  weak,  that  I  might  gain 
the  weak :  I  am  become  all  things 
to  all  men,  that  I  may  by  all  means 
save  some.  23  And  I  do  all  things 
for  the  gospel's  sake,  that  I  rnay 
be  a  joint  partaker  thereof.  24 
Know  ye  not  that  they  which  run

assuredly  for  our  sake?  Yea,  for 
our  sake  it  was  written:  because 
he  that  ploweth  ought  to  plow  in 
hope,  and  he  that  thresheth,  to 
thresh  in  hope  of  partaking.  11  If 
we  sowed  unto  you  spiritual  things, 
is  it  a  great  matter  if  we  shall  reap 
your  carnal  things?  12  If  others 
partake  of  this  right  over  you,  do 
not  we  yet  more?  Nevertheless  we 
did  not  use  this  right;  but  we  bear 
all  things,  that  we  may  cause  no 
hindrance  to  the  gospel  of  Christ. 
13  Know  ye  not  that  they  that  min- 
ister about  sacred  things  eat  of  the 
things  of  the  temple,  and  they  that 
wait  upon  the  altar  have  their  por- 
tion with  the  altar?  14  Even  so 
did  the  Lord  ordain  that  they  that 
proclaim  the  gospel  should  live  of 
th'e  gospel.  15  But  I  have  used 
none  of  these  things :  and  I  write 
not  these  things  that  it  may  be  so 
done  in  my  case ;  for  it  were  good 
for  me  rather  to  die,  than  that  any 
man  should  make  my  glorying  void. 

16  For  if  I  preach  the  gospel,  I 
have  nothing  to  glory  of ;  for  neces- 
sity is  laid  upon  me;  for  woe  is 
unto  me,  if  I  preach  not  the  gospel. 

17  For  if  I  do  this  of  mine  own 
will,  I  have  a  reward :  but  if  not 
of  mine  own  will,  I  have  a  steward- 
ship intrusted  to  me.  18  What 
then  is  my  reward?  That,  when  I 
preach  the  gospel,  I  may  make  the 
gospel  without  charge,  so  as  not 
to  use  to  the  full  my  right  in  the 
gospel.  19  For  though  I  was  free 
from  all  men,  I  brought  myself  un- 
der bondage  to  all,  that  I  might 
gain  the  more.  20  And  to  the  Jews 
I  became  as  a  Jew,  that  I  might 
gain  Jews;  to  them  that  are  under 
the  law,  as  under  the  law,  not  be- 
ing myself  under  the  law,  that  I 
might  gain  them  that  are  under  the 
law;  21  to  them  that  are  without 
law,  as  without  law,  not  being  with- 
out law  to  God,  but  under  law  to 
Christ,  that  I  might  gain  them  that 
are  without  law.  22  To  the  weak 
I  became  weak,  that  I  might  gain 
the  weak :  I  am  become  all  things 
to  all  men,  that  I  may  by  all  means 
save  some.  23  And  I  do  all  things 
for  the  gospel's  sake,  that  I  may 
be  a  joint  partaker  thereof.  24 
Know  ye  not  that  they  that  run  in 


ox  that  treadeth  out  the  corn.    Doth  God 
take  care  for  oxen? 

10  Or  doth  he  say  this  indeed  for  our 
sakes?  For  these  things  are  written  for 
our  sakes:  that  he  that  plougheth,  should 
plough  in  hope;  and  he  that  thrasheth, 
in  hope  to  receive  fruit. 

11  If  we  have  sown  unto  you  spiritual 
things,  is  it  a  great  matter  if  we  reap 
your  carnal  things? 

12  If  others  be  partakers  of  this  power 
over  you,  why  not  we  rather?  Never- 
theless, we  have  not  used  this  power: 
but  we  bear  all  things,  lest  we  should 
give  any  hindrance  to  the  gospel  of 
Christ. 

13  Know  you  not,  that  they  who  work 
in  the  holy  place,  eat  the  things  that  are 
of  the  holy  place ;  and  they  that  serve 
the  altar,  partake   with   the   altar? 

14  So  also  the  Lord  ordained  that  they 
who  preach  the  gospel,  should  live  by  the 
gospel. 

15  But  I  have  used  none  of  these  things. 
Neither  have  I  written  these  things,  that 
they  should  be  so  done  unto  me:  for  it 
is  good  for  me  to  die,  rather  than  that 
any  man  should  make  my  glory  void. 

16  For  if  I  preach  the  gospel,  it  is  no 
glory  to  me,  for  a  necessity  lieth  upon 
me:  for  woe  is  unto  me  if  I  preach  not 
the  gospel. 

17  For  if  I  do  this  thing  willingly,  I 
have  a  reward :  but  if  against  my  will,  a 
dispensation  is  committed  to  me : 

18  What  is  my  reward  then?  That 
preaching  the  gospel,  I  may  deliver  the 
gospel  without  charge,  that  I  abuse  not 
my  power  in  the  gospel. 

19  For  whereas  I  was  free  as  to  all,  I 
made  myself  the  servant  of  all,  that  I 
might  gain  the  more. 

20  And  I  became  to  the  Jews,  a  Jew, 
that  I  might  gain  the  Jews : 

21  To  them  that  are  under  the  law,  as 
if  I  were  under  the  law,  (whereas  myself 
was  not  under  the  law,)  that  I  might 
gain  them  that  were  under  the  law.  To 
them  that  were  without  the  law,  as  if  I 
were  without  the  law,  (whereas  I  was  not 
without  the  law  of  God,  but  was  in  the 
law  of  Christ,)  that  I  might  gain  them 
that  were  without  the  law. 

22  To  the  weak  I  became  weak,  that  I 
might  gain  the  weak.  I  became  all  things 
to  all  men,  that  I  might  save  all. 

22,  And  I  do  all  things  for  the  gospel's 
sake:  that  I  may  be  made  partaker 
thereof.

CHAPTER  10. 

MOREOVER,  brethren,  I  would  not 
that  ye  should  be  ignorant,  how  that 
all  our  fathers  were  under  the  cloud,  and 
all  passed  through  the  sea; 

2  And  were  all  baptized  unto  Moses  in 
the  cloud  and  in  the  sea ; 

3  And  did  all  eat  the  same  spiritual 
meat; 

4  And  did  all  drink  the  same  spiritual 
drink:  for  they  drank  of  that  spiritual 
Rock  that  followed  them:  and  that  Rock 
was  Christ. 

5  But  with  many  of  them  God  was  not 
well  pleased:  for  they  were  overthrown 
in  the  wilderness. 

6  Now  these  things  were  our  exam- 
ples, to  the  intent  we  should  not  lust 
after  evil  things,  as  they  also  lusted. 

7  Neither  be  ye  idolaters,  as  were  some 
of  them;  as  it  is  written.  The  people  sat 
down  to  eat  and  drink,  and  rose  up  to 
play. 

8  Neither  let  us  commit  fornication, 
as  some  of  them  committed,  and  fell  in 
one  day  three  and  twenty  thousand. 

9  Neither  let  us  tempt  Christ,  as  some 
of  them  also  tempted,  and  were  destroyed 
of  serpents. 

10  Neither  murmur  ye,  as  some  of  them 
also  murmured,  and  were  destroyed  of  the 
destroyer. 

11  Now  all  these  things  happened  unto 
them  for  ensamples :  and  they  are  written 
for  our  admonition,  upon  whom  the  ends 
of  the  world  are  come. 

12  Wherefore  let  him  that  thinketh  he 
standeth  take  heed  lest  he  fall. 

13  There  hath  no  temptation  taken  you 
but  such  as  is  common  to  man:  but  God 
is  faithful,  who  will  not  suffer  you  to 
be  tempted  above  that  ye  are  able;   but

CHAPTER  10. 

FOR  I  would  not  have  you  ignorant, 
brethren,  that  our  fathers  were  all 
under  the  cloud,  and  all  passed  through 
the  sea. 

2  And  all  in  Moses  were  baptized,  in  the 
cloud,  and  in  the  sea: 

3  And  did  all  eat  the  same  spiritual 
food, 

4  And  all  drank  the  same  spiritual 
drink;  (and  they  drank  of  the  spiritual 
rock  that  followed  them,  and  the  rock 
was   Christ.) 

5  But  with  most  of  them  God  was  not 
well  pleased:  for  they  were  overthrown 
in  the  desert. 

6  Now  these  things  were  done  in  a 
figure  of  us,  that  we  should  not  covet 
evil  things  as  they  also  coveted. 

7  Neither  become  ye  idolaters,  as  some 
of  them,  as  it  is  written :  The  people  sat 
down  to  eat  and  drink,  and  rose  up  to 
play. 

8  Neither  let  us  commit  fornication,  as 
some  of  them  committed  fornication,  and 
there  fell  in  one  day  three  and  twenty 
thousand. 

9  Neither  let  us  tempt  Christ:  as  some 
of  them  tempted,  and  perished  by  the 
serpents. 

10  Neither  do  you  murmur :  as  some 
of  them  murmured,  and  were  destroyed 
by  the  destroyer. 

11  Now  all  these  things  happened  to 
them  in  figure:  and  they  are  written  for 
our  correction,  upon  whom  the  ends  of 
the   world   are  come. 

12  Wherefore  he  that  thinketh  himself 
to  stand,  let  him  take  heed  lest  he  fall. 

13  Let  no  temptation  take  hold  on  you, 
but  such  as  is  human.  And  God  is  faith- 
ful, who  will  not  suffer  you  to  be  tempted

will  with  the  temptation  also  make  a 
way  to  escape,  that  ye  may  be  able  to 
bear  it. 

14  Wherefore,  my  dearly  beloved,  flee 
from   idolatry. 

15  I  speak  as  to  wise  men;  judge  ye 
what  I  say. 

16  The  cup  of  blessing  which  we  bless, 
is  it  not  the  communion  of  the  blood  of 
Christ?  The  bread  which  we  break,  is 
it  not  the  communion  of  the  body  of 
Christ? 

17  For  we  being  many  are  one  bread, 
and  one  body:  for  we  are  all  partakers 
of  that  one  bread. 

18  Behold  Israel  after  the  flesh:  are 
not  they  which  eat  of  the  sacrifices  par- 
takers of  the  altar? 

19  What  say  I  then?  that  the  idol  is 
any  thing,  or  that  which  is  offered  in 
sacrifice  to  idols  is  any  thing? 

20  But  /  say,  that  the  things  which  the 
Gentiles  sacrifice,  they  sacrifice  to  devils, 
and  not  to  God:  and  I  would  not 
that  ye  should  have  fellowship  with 
devils. 

21  Ye  cannot  drink  the  cup  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  cup  of  devils:  ye  cannot 
be  partakers  of  the  Lord's  table,  and  of 
the  table  of  devils. 

22  Do  we  provoke  the  Lord  to  jeal- 
ousy? are  we  stronger  than  he? 

23  All  things  are  lawful  for  me,  but 
all  things  are  not  expedient:  all  things 
are  lawful  for  me,  but  all  things  edify 
not. 

24  Let  no  man  seek  his  own,  but  every 
man  another's  wealth. 

25  Whatsoever  is  sold  in  the  shambles, 
that  eat,  asking  no  question  for  con- 
science sake : 

26  For  the  earth  is  the  Lord's,  and  the 
fulness  thereof. 

27  If  any  of  them  that  believe  not  bid 
you  to  a  feast,  and  ye  be  disposed  to  go; 
whatsoever  is  set  before  you,  eat,  asking 
no   question   for   conscience   sake. 

28  But  if  any  man  say  unto  you.  This 
is  offered  in  sacrifice  unto  idols,  eat  not 
for  his  sake  that  shewed  it,  and  for  con- 
science sake:  for  the  earth  is  the  Lord's, 
and  the  fulness  thereof: 

29  Conscience,  I  say,  not  thine  own,  but 
of  the  other:  for  why  is  my  liberty 
judged  of  another  jnan's  conscience? 

30  For  if  I  by  grace  be  a  partaker, 
why  am  I  evil  spoken  of  for  that  for 
which  I  give  thanks? 

31  Whether  therefore  ye  eat,  or  drink. 


tion  make  also  the  way  of  escape, 
that  ye  may  be  able  to  endure  it. 

14  Wherefore,  my  beloved,  flee 
from  idolatry.  15  I  speak  as  to 
wise  men;  judge  ye  what'  I  say. 
16  The  cup  of  blessing  which  we 
bless,  is  it  not  a  communion  of  the 
blood  of  Christ?  The  bread  which 
we  break,  is  it  not  a  communion 
of  the  body  of  Christ?  17  seeing 
that  we,  who  are  many,  are  one 
bread,  one  body :  for  we  all  par- 
take of  the  one  bread.  18  Behold 
Israel  after  the  flesh :  have  not  they 
which  eat  the  sacrifices  communion 
with  the  altar?  19  What  say  I 
then?  that  a  thing  sacrificed  to 
idols  is  anything,  or  that  an  idol 
is  anything?  20  But  /  ^03;,  that  the 
things  which  the  Gentiles  sacrifice, 
they  sacrifice  to  devils,  and  not  to 
God :  and  I  would  not  that  ye 
should  have  communion  with  dev- 
ils. 21  Ye  cannot  drink  the  cup 
of  the  Lord,  and  the  cup  of  devils: 
ye  cannot  partake  of  the  table  of 
the  Lord,  and  of  the  table  of 
devils.  22  Or  do  we  provoke  the 
Lord  to  jealousy?  are  we  stronger 
than  he? 

23  All  things  are  lawful;  but  all 
things  are  not  expedient.  All 
things  are  lawful;  but  all  things 
edify  not.  24  Let  no  man  seek  his 
own,  but  each  his  neighbour's  good. 
25  Whatsoever  is  sold  in  the  sham- 
bles, eat,  asking  no  question  for 
conscience  sake;  26  for  the  earth 
is  the  Lord's,  and  the  fulness 
thereof.  27  If  one  of  them  that 
believe  not  biddeth  you  to  a  feast, 
and  ye  are  disposed  to  go ;  what- 
soever is  set  before  you,  eat,  ask- 
ing no  question  for  conscience  sake. 
28  But  if  any  man  say  unto  you. 
This  hath  been  offered  in  sacrifice, 
eat  not,  for  his  sake  that  shewed 
it,  and  for  conscience  sake :  29  con- 
science, I  say,  not  thine  own,  but 
the  other's ;  for  why  is  my  Hberty 
judged  by  another  conscience? 
30  If  I  by  grace  partake,  why  am 
I  evil  spoken  of  for  that  for  which 
I  give  thanks?  31  Whether  there- 
fore ye  eat,  or  drink,  or  whatso- 
ever ye  do,  do  all  to  the  glory  of 
God.  32  Give  no  occasion  of  stum- 
bling, either  to  Jews,  or  to  Greeks, 
or  to  the  church  of  God:  33  even

14  Wherefore,  my  beloved,  flee 
from  idolatry.  15  I  speak  as  to 
wise  men;  judge  ye  what  I  say. 
16  The  cup  of  blessing  which  we 
bless,  is  it  not  a  communion  of 
the  blood  of  Christ?  The  bread 
which  we  break,  is  it  not  a  com- 
munion of  the  body  of  Christ?  17 
seeing  that  we,  who  are  many,  are 
one  bread,  one  body:  for  we  all 
partake  of  the  one  bread.  18  Be- 
hold Israel  after  the  flesh :  have  not 
they  that  eat  the  sacrifices  com- 
munion with  the  altar?  19  What 
say  I  then?  that  a  thing  sacrificed 
to  idols  is  anything,  or  that  an  idol 
is  anything?  20  But  /  say,  that  the 
things  which  the  Gentiles  sacrifice, 
they  sacrifice  to  demons,  and  not  to 
God :  and  I  would  not  that  ye 
should  have  communion  with  de- 
mons. 21  Ye  cannot  drink  the  cup 
of  the  Lord,  and  the  cup  of  de- 
mons: ye  cannot  partake  of  the  ta- 
ble of  the  Lord,  and  of  the  table  of 
demons.  22  Or  do  we  provoke  the 
Lord  to  jealousy?  are  we  stronger 
than  he? 

23  All  things  are  lawful;  but  not 
all  things  are  expedient.  All  things 
are  lawful ;  but  not  all  things  edify. 
24  Let  no  man  seek  his  own,  but 
each  his  neighbor's  good.  25  What- 
soever is  sold  in  the  shambles,  eat, 
asking  no  question  for  conscience' 
sake ;  26  for  the  earth  is  the  Lord's, 
and  the  fulness  thereof.  27  If  one 
of  them  that  believe  not  biddeth 
you  to  a  feast,  and  ye  are  disposed 
to  go;  whatsoever  is  set  before  you, 
eat,  asking  no  question  for  con- 
science' sake.  28  But  if  any  man 
say  unto  you,  This  hath  been  of- 
fered in  sacrifice,  eat  not,  for  his 
sake  that  showed  it,  and  for  con- 
science' sake :  29  conscience,  I  say, 
not  thine  own,  but  the  other's;  for 
why  is  my  liberty  judged  by  an- 
other conscience?  30  If  I  partake 
with  thankfulness,  why  am  I  evil 
spoken  of  for  that  for  which  I  give 
thanks?  31  Whether  therefore  ye 
eat,  or  drink,  or  whatsoever  ye  do, 
do  all  to  the  glory  of  God.  32  Give 
no  occasion  of  stumbling,  either  to 
Jews,  or  to  Greeks,  or  to  the  church 
of  God:  33  even  as  I  also  please  all 


above  that  which  you  are  able :  but  will 
make  also  with  temptation  issue,  that 
you   may   be   able   to   bear   it. 

14  Wherefore,  my  dearly  beloved,  fly 
from  the  service  of  idols. 

15  I  speak  as  to  wise  men:  judge  ye 
yourselves  what  I  say. 

16  The  chalice  of  benediction,  which  we 
bless,  is  it  not  the  communion  of  the 
blood  of  Christ?  And  the  bread,  which 
we  break,  is  it  not  the  partaking  of  the 
body  of  the  Lord? 

17  For  we,  being  many,  are  one  bread, 
one  body,  all  that  partake  of  one  bread. 

18  Behold  Israel  according  to  the  flesh : 
are  not  they,  that  eat  of  the  sacrifices, 
partakers  of  the  altar? 

19  What  then?  Do  I  say,  that  what  is 
offered  in  sacrifice  to  idols,  is  any  thing? 
Or,  that  the  idol  is  any  thing? 

20  But  the  things  which  the  heathens 
sacrifice,  they  sacrifice  to  devils,  and  not 
to  God.  And  I  would  not  that  you  should 
be  made  partakers   with   devils. 

21  You  cannot  drink  the  chalice  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  chalice  of  devils:  you  can- 
not be  partakers  of  the  table  of  the  Lord, 
and  of  the  table  of  devils. 

22  Do  we  provoke  the  Lord  to  jeal- 
ousy? Are  we  stronger  than  he?  All 
things  are  lawful  for  me,  but  all  things 
are  not  expedient. 

23  All  things  are  lawful  for  me,  but  all 
things  do  not  edify. 

24  Let  no  man  seek  his  own,  but  that 
which  is  another's. 

25  Whatsoever  is  sold  in  the  shambles, 
eat;  asking  no  question  for  conscience' 
sake. 

26  The  earth  is  the  Lord's,  and  the  ful- 
ness thereof. 

2y  If  any  of  them  that  believe  not,  in- 
vite you,  and  you  be  willing  to  go;  eat 
of  any  thing  that  is  set  before  you,  ask- 
ing no  question  for  conscience'  sake. 

28  But  if  any  man  say:  This  has  been 
sacrificed  to  idols,  do  not  eat  of  it  for 
his  sake  that  told  it,  and  for  conscience' 
sake. 

29  Conscience,  I  say,  not  thy  own,  but 
the  other's.  For  why  is  my  liberty 
judged  by  another  man's  conscience? 

30  If  I  partake  with  thanksgiving,  why 
am  I  evil  spoken  of,  for  that  for  which  I 
give  thanks? 

31  Therefore,  whether  you  eat  or  drink, 
or  whatsoever  else  you  do,  do  all  to  the 
glory  of  God. 

32  Be  without  offence  to  the  Jews,  and

or  whatsoever  ye  do,  do  all  to  the  glory 
of  God, 

32  Give  none  offence,  neither  to  the 
Jews,  nor  to  the  Gentiles,  nor  to  the 
church  of  God: 

SS  Even  as  I  please  all  men  in  all  things, 
not  seeking  mine  own  profit,  but  the  profit 
of  many,  that  they  may  be  saved. 

CHAPTER  II. 

BE  ye  followers  of  me,  even  as  I  also 
am  of  Christ. 

2  Now  I  praise  you,  brethren,  that  ye 
remember  me  in  all  things,  and  keep  the 
ordinances,  as  I  delivered  them  to  you. 

3  But  I  would  have  you  know,  that 
the  head  of  every  man  is  Christ;  and 
the  head  of  the  woman  is  the  man;  and 
the  head  of  Christ  is  God. 

4  Every  man  praying  or  prophesying, 
having  his  head  covered,  dishonoureth  his 
head. 

5  But  every  woman  that  prayeth  or 
prophesieth  with  her  head  uncovered  dis- 
honoureth her  head :  for  that  is  even 
all  one  as  if  she  were  shaven. 

6  For  if  the  woman  be  not  covered, 
let  her  also  be  shorn :  but  if  it  be  a  shame 
for  a  woman  to  be  shorn  or  shaven,  let 
her  be  covered. 

7  For  a  man  indeed  ought  not  to  cover 
his  head,  forasmuch  as  he  is  the  image 
and  glory  of  God :  but  the  woman  is  the 
glory  of  the  man. 

8  For  the  man  is  not  of  the  woman; 
but  the  woman  of  the  man. 

9  Neither  was  the  man  created  for  the 
woman ;  but  the  woman  for  the  man. 

10  For  this  cause  ought  the  woman 
to  have  power  on  her  head  because  of 
the  angels. 

11  Nevertheless  neither  is  the  man  with- 
out the  woman,  neither  the  woman  with- 
out the  man,  in  the  Lord. 

12  For  as  the  woman  is  of  the  man, 
even  so  is  the  man  also  by  the  woman ; 
but  all  things  of  God. 

13  Judge  in  yourselves :  is  it  comely 
that  a  woman  pray  unto  God  uncovered? 

14  Doth  not  even  nature  itself  teach 
you,  that,  if  a  man  have  long  hair,  it 
is  a  shame  unto  him? 

15  But  if  a  woman  have  long  hair,  it 
is  a  glory  to  her:  for  her  hair  is  given 
her  for  a  covering. 

16  But  if  any  man  seem  to  be  conten- 
tious, we  have  no  such  custom,  neither 
the  churches  of  God. 


as  I  also  please  all  men  in  all 
things,  not  seeking  mine  own  profit, 
but  the  profit  of  the  many,  that  they 
may  be  saved. 


T>E  ye  imitators  of  me,  even 
I*J3  as  I  also  am  of  Christ. 

2  Now  I  praise  you  that  ye  re- 
member me  in  all  things,  and  hold 
fast  the  traditions,  even  as  I  de- 
livered them  to  you.  3  But  I  would 
have  you  know,  that  the  head  of 
every  man  is  Christ ;  and  the  head 
of  the  woman  is  the  man;  and  the 
head  of  Christ  is  God.  4  Every 
man  praying  or  prophesying,  having 
his  head  covered,  dishonoureth  his 
head.  5  But  every  woman  praying 
or  prophesying  with  her  head  un- 
veiled dishonoureth  her  head:  for 
it  is  one  and  the  same  thing  as 
if  she  were  shaven.  6  For  if  a 
woman  is  not  veiled,  let  her  also  be 
shorn :  but  if  it  is  a  shame  to  a 
woman  to  be  shorn  or  shaven,  let 
her  be  veiled.  7  For  a  man  indeed 
ought  not  to  have  his  head  veiled, 
forasmuch  as  he  is  the  image  and 
glory  of  God :  but  the  woman  is 
the  glory  of  the  man.  8  For  the 
man  is  not  of  the  woman ;  but  the 
woman  of  the  man:  9  for  neither 
was  the  man  created  for  the 
woman;  but  the  woman  for  the 
man :  10  for  this  cause  ought  the 
woman  to  have  a  sign  of  authority 
on  her  head,  because  of  the  angels. 
II  Howbeit  neither  is  the  woman 
without  the  man,  nor  the  man  with- 
out the  woman,  in  the  Lord.  12 
For  as  the  woman  is  of  the  man, 
so  is  the  man  also  by  the  woman ; 
but  all  things  are  of  God.  13 
Judge  ye  in  yourselves :  is  it  seemly 
that  a  woman  pray  unto  God  un- 
veiled? 14  Doth  not  even  nature 
itself  teach  you,  that,  if  a  man  have 
long  hair,  it  is  a  dishonour  to  him? 
15  But  if  a  woman  have  long  hair, 
it  is  a  glory  to  her:  for  her  hair 
is  given  her  for  a  covering.  16  But 
if  any  man  seemeth  to  be  conten-

many,  that  they  may  be  saved. 


to    the    Gentiles,    and    to   the    church    of 
God: 

Z2)  As  I  also  in  all  things  please  all  men, 
not  seeking  that  which  is  profitable  to 
myself,  but  to  many,  that  they  may  be 
saved. 


T>E  ye  imitators  of  me,  even 
*IJ3  as  I  also  am  of  Christ. 

2  Now  I  praise  you  that  ye  re- 
member me  in  all  things,  and  hold 
fast  the  traditions,  even  as  I  deliv- 
ered them  to  you.  3  But  I  would 
have  you  know,  that  the  head  of 
every  man  is  Christ;  and  the  head 
of  the  woman  is  the  man ;  and  the 
head  of  Christ  is  God.  4  Every 
man  praying  or  prophesying,  hav- 
ing his  head  covered,  dishonoreth 
his  head.  5  But  every  woman 
praying  or  prophesying  with  her 
head  unveiled  dishonoreth  her  head  ; 
for  it  is  one  and  the  same  thing 
as  if  she  were  shaven.  6  For 
if  a  woman  is  not  veiled,  let  her 
also  be  shorn :  but  if  it  is  a  shame 
to  a  woman  to  be  shorn  or  shaven, 
let  her  be  veiled.  7  For  a  man  in- 
deed ought  not  to  have  his  head 
veiled,  forasmuch  as  he  is  the  image 
and  glory  of  God:  but  the  woman 
is  the  glory  of  the  man.  8  For  the 
man  is  not  of  the  woman ;  but  the 
woman  of  the  man :  9  for  neither 
was  the  man  created  for  the 
woman;  but  the  woman  for  the 
man :  10  for  this  cause  ought  the 
woman  to  have  a  sign  of  authority 
on  her  head,  because  of  the  angels. 
II  Nevertheless,  neither  is  the 
woman  without  the  man,  nor  the 
man  without  the  woman,  in  the 
Lord.  12  For  as  the  woman  is  of 
the  man,  so  is  the  man  also  by  the 
woman ;  but  all  things  are  of  God. 
13  Judge  ye  in  yourselves:  is  it 
seemly  that  a  woman  pray  unto 
God  unveiled?  14  Doth  not  even 
nature  itself  teach  you,  that,  if  a 
man  have  long  hair,  it  is  a  dishonor 
to  him?  15  But  if  a  woman  have 
long  hair,  it  is  a  glory  to  her:  for 
her  hair  is  given  her  for  a  cover- 
ing. 16  But  if  any  man  seemeth 
to  be  contentious,  we  have  no  such 


CHAPTER  II. 

BE  ye  followers  of  me,  as  I  also  am

2  Now  I  praise  you,  brethren,  that  in 
all  things  you  are  mindful  of  me:  and 
keep  my  ordinances  as  I  have  deHvered 
them  to  you. 

3  But  I  would  have  you  know,  that  the 
head  of  every  man  is  Christ ;  and  the 
head  of  the  woman  is  the  man ;  and  the 
head  of  Christ  is  God. 

4  Every  man  praying  or  prophesying 
with  his  head  covered,  disgraceth  his 
head. 

5  But  every  woman  praying  or  prophe- 
sying with  her  head  not  covered,  dis- 
graceth her  head :  for  it  is  all  one  as  if 
she  were  shaven. 

6  For  if  a  woman  be  not  covered,  let 
her  be  shorn.  But  if  it  be  a  shame  to  a 
woman  to  be  shorn  or  made  bald,  let  her 
cover  her  head. 

7  The  man  indeed  ought  not  to  cover 
his  head,  because  he  is  the  image  and 
glory  of  God ;  but  the  woman  is  the  glory 
of  the  man. 

8  For  the  man  is  not  of  the  woman,  but 
the  woman  of  the  man. 

9  For  the  man  was  not  created  for  the 
woman,  but  the  woman  for  the  man. 

10  Therefore  ought  the  woman  to  have 
a  power  over  her  head,  because  of  the 
angels. 

11  But  yet  neither  is  the  man  without 
the  woman,  nor  the  woman  without  the 
man,  in  the  Lord. 

12  For  as  the  woman  is  of  the  man,  so 
also  is  the  man  by  the  woman:  but  all 
things  of  God. 

13  You  yourselves  judge:  doth  it  be- 
come a  woman,  to  pray  unto  God  uncov- 
ered? 

14  Doth  not  even  nature  itself  teach 
you,  that  a  man  indeed,  if  he  nourish  his 
hair,  it  is  a  shame  unto  him? 

15  But  if  a  woman  nourish  her  hair,  it 
is  a  glory  to  her ;  for  her  hair  is  given  to

17  Now  in  this  that  I  declare  unto  you 
I  praise  you  not,  that  ye  come  together 
not  for  the  better,  but  for  the  worse. 

18  For  first  of  all,  when  ye  come  to- 
gether in  the  church,  I  hear  that  there  be 
divisions  among  you;  and  I  partly  be- 
lieve it. 

19  For  there  must  be  also  heresies 
among  you,  that  they  which  are  approved 
may   be   made   manifest   among  you. 

20  When  ye  come  together  therefore 
into  one  place,  this  is  not  to  eat  the 
Lord's  supper. 

21  For  in  eating  every  one  taketh  before 
other  his  own  supper :  and  one  is  hun- 
gry, and  another  is  drunken. 

22  What?  have  ye  not  houses  to  eat 
and  to  drink  in?  or  despise  ye  the  church 
of  God,  and  shame  them  that  have  not? 
What  shall  I  say  to  you?  shall  I  praise 
you  in  this?    I  praise  you  not. 

23  For  I  have  received  of  the  Lord 
that  which  also  I  delivered  unto  you. 
That  the  Lord  Jesus  the  same  night  in 
which  he  was  betrayed  took  bread : 

24  And  when  he  had  given  thanks,  he 
brake  it,  and  said,  Take,  eat:  this  is  my 
body,  which  is  broken  for  you :  this  do  in 
remembrance  of  me. 

25  After  the  same  manner  also  he  took 
the  cup,  when  he  had  supped,  saying. 
This  cup  is  the  new  testament  in  my 
blood :  this  do  ye,  as  oft  as  ye  drink  it, 
in  remembrance  of  me. 

26  For  as  often  as  ye  eat  this  bread, 
and  drink  this  cup,  ye  do  shew  the  Lord's 
death  till  he  come. 

27  Wherefore  whosoever  shall  eat  this 
bread,  and  drink  this  cup  of  the  Lord, 
unworthily,  shall  be  guilty  of  the  body 
and  blood  of  the  Lord. 

28  But  let  a  man  examine  himself,  and 
so  let  him  eat  of  that  bread,  and  drink  of 
that  cup. 

29  For  he  that  eateth  and  drinketh  un- 
worthily, eateth  and  drinketh  .damnation 
to  himself,  not  discerning  the  Lord's 
body. 

^  30  For  this  cause  many  are  weak  and 
sickly  among  you,  and  many  sleep. 

31  For  if  we  would  judge  ourselves,  we 
should  not  be  judged. 

32  But  when  we  are  judged,  we  are 
chastened  of  the  Lord,  that  we  should 
not  be  condemned  with  the  world. 

33  Wherefore,  my  brethren,  when  ye 
come  together  to  eat,  tarry  one  for  an- 
other. 

34  And  if  any  man  hunger,  let  him  eat 


tious,  we  have  no  such  custom, 
neither  the  churches  of  God. 

17  But  in  giving  you  this  charge, 
I  praise  you  not,  that  ye  come  to- 
gether not  for  the  better  but  for 
the  worse.  18  For  first  of  all,  when 
ye  come  together  in  the  church,  I 
hear  that  divisions  exist  among 
you ;  and  I  partly  believe  it.  19  For 
there  must  be  also  heresies  among 
you,  that  they  which  are  approved 
may  be  made  manifest  among  you. 
,  20  When  therefore  ye  assemble 
yourselves  together,  it  is  not  possi- 
ble to  eat  the  Lord's  supper :  21  for 
in  your  eating  each  one  taketh  be- 
fore other  his  own  supper ;  and  one 
is  hungry,  and  another  is  drunken. 
22  What?  have  ye  not  houses  to  eat 
and  to  drink  in?  or  despise  ye  the 
church  of  God,  and  put  them  to 
shame  that  have  not?  What  shall 
I  say  to  you?  shall  I  praise  you 
in  this?  I  praise  you  not.  23  For 
I  received  of  the  Lord  that  which 
also  I  delivered  unto  you,  how  that 
the  Lord  Jesus  in  the  night  in 
which  he  was  betrayed  took  bread ; 
24  and  when  he  had  given  thanks, 
he  brake  it,  and  said.  This  is  my 
body,  which  is  for  you:  this  do 
in  remembrance  of  me.  25  In  like 
manner  also  the  cup,  after  supper, 
saying.  This  cup  is  the  new  cove- 
nant in  my  blood:  this  do,  as  oft 
as  ye  drink  it,  in  remembrance  of 
me.  26  For  as  often  as  ye  eat  this 
bread,  and  drink  the  cup,  ye  pro- 
claim the  Lord's  death  till  he  come. 

27  Wherefore  whosoever  shall  eat 
the  bread  or  drink  the  cup  of  the 
Lord  unworthily,  shall  be  guilty  of 
the  body  and  the  blood  of  the  Lord. 

28  But  let  a  man  prove  himself, 
and  so  let  him  eat  of  the  bread,  and 
drink  of  the  cup.  29  For  he  that 
eateth  and  drinketh,  eateth  and 
drinketh  judgement  unto  himself, 
if  he  discern  not  the  body.  30  For 
this  cause  many  among  you  are 
weak  and  sickly,  and  not  a  few 
sleep.  31  But  if  we  discerned  our- 
selves, we  should  not  be  judged. 
32  But  when  we  are  judged,  we 
are  chastened  of  the  Lord,  that  we 
may  not  be  condemned  with  the 
world.  33  Wherefore,  my  brethren, 
when  ye  come  together  to  eat,  wait 
one  for  another.    34  If  any  man  is

God. 

17  But  in  giving  you  this  charge, 
I  praise  you  not,  that  ye  come  to- 
gether not  for  the  better  but  for 
the  worse.  18  For  first  of  all,  when 
ye  come  together  in  the  church,  I 
hear  that  divisions  exist  among 
you;  and  I  partly  believe  it.  19 
For  there  must  be  also  factions 
among  you,  that  they  that  are  ap- 
proved may  be  made  manifest 
among  you.  20  When  therefore  ye 
assemble  yourselves  together,  it  is 
not  possible  to  eat  the  Lord's  sup- 
per: 21  for  in  your  eating  each 
one  taketh  before  other  his  own 
supper ;  and  one  is  hungry,  and  an- 
other is  drunken.  22  What,  have 
ye  not  houses  to  eat  and  to  drink 
in?  or  despise  ye  the  church  of 
God,  and  put  them  to  shame  that 
have  not?  What  shall  I  say  to 
you?  shall  I  praise  you?  In  this  I 
praise  you  not.  23  For  I  received 
of  the  Lord  that  which  also  I  de-

Jesus  in  the  night  in  which  he  was 
betrayed  took  bread;  24  and  when 
he  had  given  thanks,  he  brake  it, 
and  said,  This  is  my  body,  which 
is  for  you :  this  do  in  remembrance 
of  me.  25  In  like  manner  al^o  the 
cup,  after  supper,  saying,  This  cup 
is  the  new  covenant  in  my  blood : 
this  do,  as  often  as  ye  drink  it,  in 
remembrance  of  me.  26  For  as 
often  as  ye  eat  this  bread,  and 
drink  the  cup,  ye  proclaim  the 
Lord's  death  till  he  come.  27 
Wherefore  whosoever  shall  eat  the 
bread  or  drink  the  cup  of  the  Lord 
in  an .  unworthy  manner,  shall  be 
guilty  of  the  body  and  the  blood  of 
the  Lord.  28  But  let  a  man  prove 
himself,  and  so  let  him  eat  of  the 
bread,  and  drink  of  the  cup.  29 
For  he  that  eateth  and  drinketh, 
eateth  and  drinketh  judgment  unto 
himself,  if  he  discern  not  the  body. 
30  For  this  cause  many  among  you 
are  weak  and  sickly,  and  not  a  few 
sleep.  31  But  if  we  discerned  our- 
selves,   we    should    not    be   judged. 

32  But  when  we  are  judged,  we  are 
chastened  of  the  Lord,  that  we  may 
not  be  condemned  with  the  world. 

33  Wherefore,  my  brethren,  when 
ye  come  together  to  eat,  wait  one 


tious,  we  have  no  such  custom,  nor  the 
church  of  God. 

17  Now  this  I  ordain:  not  praising  you, 
that  you  come  together  not  for  the  bet- 
ter, but  for  the  worse. 

18  For  first  of  all  I  hear  that  when  you 
come  together  in  the  church,  there  are 
schisms  among  you;  and  in  part  I  be- 
lieve it. 

19  For  there  must  be  also  heresies :  that 
they  also,  who  are  approved,  may  be 
made  manifest  among  you. 

20  When  you  come  therefore  together 
into  one  place,  it  is  not  now  to  eat  the 
Lord's  supper. 

21  For  every  one  taketh  before  his  own 
supper  to  eat.  And  one  indeed  is  hungry 
and  another  is  drunk.  ' 

22  What,  have  you  not  houses  to  eat 
and  to  drink  in  ?  •  Or  despise  ye  the  church 
of  God ;  and  put  them  to  shame  that  have 
not?  What  shall  I  say  to  you?  Do  I 
praise  you?     In  this  I  praise  you  not. 

2Z  For  I  have  received  of  the  Lord  that 
which  also  I  delivered  unto  you,  that  the 
Lord  Jesus,  the  .same  night  in  which  he 
was  betrayed,  took  bread, 

24  And  giving  thanks,  broke,  and  said: 
Take  ye,  and  eat:  this  is  my  body,  which 
shall  be  delivered  for  you :  this  do  for  the 
commemoration  of  me. 

25  In  like  manner  also  the  chaHce,  after 
he  had  supped,  saying:  This  chaHce  is 
the  new  testament  in  my  blood:  this  do 
ye,  as  often  as  you  shall  drink,  for  the 
commemoration  of  me. 

26  For  as  often  as  you  shall  eat  this 
bread,  and  drink  the  chalice,  you  shall 
shew  the  death  of  the  Lord,  until  he 
come. 

27  Therefore  whosoever  shall  eat  this 
bread,  or  drink  the  chalice  of  the  Lord 
unworthily,  shall  be  guilty  of  the  body 
and  of  the  blood  of  the  Lord. 

28  But  let  a  man  prove  himself:  and 
so  let  him  eat  of  that  bread,  and  drink  of 
the  chalice. 

29  For  he  that  eateth  and  drinketh  un- 
worthily, eateth  and  drinketh  judgment 
to  himself,  not  discerning  the  body  of 
the  Lord. 

30  Therefore  are  there  many  infirm  and 
weak  among  you,  and  many  sleep. 

31  But  if  we  would  judge  ourselves,  we 
should  not  be  judged. 

32  But  whilst  we  are  judged,  we  are 
chastised  by  the  Lord,  that  we  be  not 
condemned  with  this  world. 

33  Wherefore,  my  brethren,  when  you

CHAPTER  12. 

NOW  concerning  spiritual  gifts,  breth- 
ren, I  would  not  have  you  ignorant. 

2  Ye  know  that  ye  were  Gentiles,  car- 
ried away  unto  these  dumb  idols,  even 
as  ye  were  led. 

3  Wherefore  I  give  you  to  understand, 
that  no  man  speaking  by  the  Spirit  of 
God  calleth  Jesus  accursed:  and  that  no 
man  can  say  that  Jesus  is  the  Lord,  but 
by  the  Holy  Ghost. 

4  Now  there  are  diversities  of  gifts, 
but  the  same  Spirit. 

5  And  there  are  differences  of  admin- 
istrations, but  the  same  Lord. 

6  And  there  are  diversities  of  opera- 
tions, but  it  is  the  same  God  which  work- 
eth  all  in  all. 

7  But  the  manifestation  of  the  Spirit 
is  given  to  every  man  to  profit  withal. 

8  For  to  one  is  given  by  the  Spirit  the 
word  of  wisdom;  to  another  the  word 
of  knowledge  by  the  same  Spirit ; 

9  To  another  faith  by  the  same  Spirit; 
to  another  the  gifts  of  healing  by  the 
same  Spirit ; 

10  To  another  the  working  of  miracles ; 
to  another  prophecy ;  to  another  discern- 
ing of  spirits;  to  another  divers  kinds  of 
tongues;  to  another  the  interpretation  of 
tongues : 

11  But  all  these  worketh  that  one  and 
the  selfsame  Spirit,  dividing  to  every  man 
severally  as  he  will. 

12  For  as  the  body  is  one,  and  hath 
many  members,  and  all  the  members  of 
that  one  body,  being  many,  are  one  body : 
so  also  is  Christ. 

13  For  by  one  Spirit  are  we  all  baptized 
into  one  body,  whether  ive  be  Jews  or 
Gentiles,  whether  we  be  bond  or  free ;  and 
have  been  all  made  to  drink  into  one 
Spirit. 

14  For  the  body  is  not  one  member,  but 
many. 

15  If  the  foot  shall  say.  Because  I  am 
not  the  hand,  I  am  not  of  the  body;  is 
it  therefore   not  of  the  body? 

16  And  if  the  ear  shall  say,  Because 
I  am  not  the  eye,  I  am  not  of  the  body ; 
is  it  therefore  not  of  the  body? 


^lyrOW  concerning  spiritual 
12X1  gifts,  brethren,  I  would  not 
have  you  ignorant.  2  Ye  know 
that  when  ye  were  Gentiles  ye  were 
led  away  unto  those  dumb  idols, 
howsoever  ye  might  be  led.  3 
Wherefore  I  give  you  to  under- 
stand, that  no  man  speaking  in  the 
Spirit  of  God  saith,  Jesus  is  an- 
athema ;  and  no  man  can  say,  Jesus 
is  Lord,  but  in  the  Holy  Spirit. 

4  Now  there  are  diversities  of 
gifts,  but  the  same  Spirit.  5  And 
there  are  diversities  of  ministra- 
tions, and  the  same  Lord.  6  And 
there  are  diversities  of  workings, 
but  the  same  God,  who  worketh  all 
things  in  all.  7  But  to  each  one 
is  given  the  manifestation  of  the 
Spirit  to  profit  withal.  8  For  to 
one  is  given  through  the  Spirit  the 
word  of  wisdom;  and  to  another 
the  word  of  knowledge,  according 
to  thre  same  Spirit:  9  to  another 
faith,  in  the  same  Spirit;  and  to 
another  gifts  of  healings,  in  the  one 
Spirit ;  10  and  to  another  workings 
of  miracles ;  and  to  another  proph- 
ecy ;  and  to  another  discernings  of 
spirits :  to  another  divers  kinds  of 
tongues;  and  to  another  the  inter- 
pretation of  tongues:  11  but  all 
these  worketh  the  one  and  the  same 
Spirit,  dividing  to  each  one  sever- 
ally even  as  he  will. 

12  For  as  the  body  is  one,  and 
hath  many  members,  and  all  the 
members  of  the  body,  being  many, 
are  one  body ;  so  also  is  Christ. 
13  For  in  one  Spirit  were  we  all 
baptized  into  one  body,  whether 
Jews  or  Greeks,  whether  bond  or 
free ;  and  were  all  made  to  drink 
of  one  Spirit.  14  For  the  body  is 
not  one  member,  but  many.  15  If 
the  foot  shall  say.  Because  I  am  not 
the  hand,  I  am  not  of  the  body;  it 
is  not  therefore  not  of  the  body. 
16  And  if  the  ear  shall  say,  Because

34  If  any  man  be  hungry,  let  him  eat  at 
home;  that  you  come  not  together  unto 
judgment.  And  the  rest  I  will  set  in 
order,  when  I  come. 


I^OW  concerning  spiritual 
I2i_i  gifts,  brethren,  I  would 
not  have  you  ignorant.  2  Ye  know 
that  when  ye  were  Gentiles  ye  were 
led  away  unto  those  dumb  idols, 
howsoever  ye  might  be  led.  3 
Wherefore  I  make  known  unto  you, 
that  no  man  speaking  in  the  Spirit 
of  God  saith,  Jesus  is  anathema; 
and  no  man  can  say,  Jesus  is  Lord, 
but  in  the  Holy  Spirit. 

4  Now  there  are  diversities  of 
gifts,  but  the  same  Spirit.  5  And 
there  are  diversities  of  ministra- 
tions, and  the  same  Lord.  6  And 
there  are  diversities  of  workings, 
but  the  same  God,  who  worketh 
all  things  in  all.  7  But  to  each 
one  is  given  the  manifestation  of 
the  Spirit  to  profit  withal.  8  For 
to  one  is  given  through  the  Spirit 
the  word  of  wisdom ;  and  to  an- 
other the  word  of  knowledge,  ac- 
cording to  the  same  Spirit:  9  to 
another  faith,  in  the  same  Spirit; 
and  to  another  gifts  of  heahngs,  in 
the  one  Spirit ;  10  and  to  another 
workings  of  miracles;  and  to  an- 
other prophecy;  and  to  another  dis- 
cernings  of  spirits :  to  another 
divers  kinds  of  tongues ;  and  to  an- 
other the  interpretation  of  tongues : 
II  but  all  these  worketh  the  one 
and  the  same  Spirit,  dividing  to 
each  one  severally  even  as  he  will. 

12  For  as  the  body  is  one,  and 
hath  many  members,  and  all  the 
members  of  the  body,  being  many, 
are  one  body;  so  also  is  Christ. 
13  For  in  one  Spirit  were  we  all 
baptized  into  one  body,  whether 
Jews  or  Greeks,  whether  bond  or 
free ;  and  were  all  made  to  drink 
of  one  Spirit.  14  For  the  body  is 
not  one  member,  but  many.  15  If 
the  foot  shall  say,  Because  I  am 
not  the  hand,  I  am  not  of  the  body ; 
it  is  ncTt  therefore  not  of  the  body. 
16  And  if  the  ear  shall  say.  Because 
I  am  not  the  eye,  I  am  not  of  the 


CHAPTER  12. 

NOW   concerning  spiritual   things,  my 
brethren,  I  would  not  have  you  ig- 
norant. 

2  You  know  that  when  you  were 
heathens,  you  went  to  dumb  idols,  ac- 
cording as  you  were  led. 

3  Wherefore  I  give  you  to  understand, 
that  no  man,  speaking  by  the  Spirit  of 
God,  saith  Anathema  to  Jesus.  And  no 
man  can  say  the  Lord  Jesus,  but  by  the 
Holy  Ghost. 

4  Now  there  are  diversities  of  graces, 
but  the  same  Spirit; 

5  And  there  are  diversities  of  ministries, 
but  the   same   Lord; 

6  And  there  are  diversities  of  opera- 
tions, but  the  same  God,  who  worketh 
all  in  all. 

7  And  the  manifestation  of  the  Spirit  is 
given  to  every  man  unto  profit, 

8  To  one  indeed,  by  the  Spirit,  is  given 
the  word  of  wisdom:  and  to  another,  the 
word  of  knowledge,  according  to  the  same 
Spirit ; 

9  To  another,  faith  in  the  same  spirit; 
to  another,  the  grace  of  healing  in  one 
Spirit : 

ID  To  another,  the  working  of  miracles ; 
to  another,  prophecy;  to  another,  the  dis- 
cerning of  spirits;  to  another,  diverse 
kinds  of  tongues;  to  another,  interpreta- 
tion of  speeches. 

11  But  all  these  things  one  and  the 
same  Spirit  worketh,  dividing  to  every 
one  according  as  he  will. 

12  For  as  the  body  is  one,  and  hath 
many  members;  and  all  the  members  of 
the  body,  whereas  they  are  many,  yet  are 
one  body,  so  also  is  Christ. 

13  For  in  one  Spirit  were  we  all  bap- 
tized into  one  body,  whether  Jews  or 
Gentiles,  whether  bond  or  free;  and  in 
one  Spirit  we  have  all  been  made  to 
drink. 

14  For  the  body  also  is  not  one  mem- 
ber, but  many. 

15  If  the  foot  should  say,  because  I  am 
not  the  hand,  I  am  not  of  the  body;  is  it 
therefore  not  of  the  body?

where  were  the  hearing?  If  the  whole 
were  hearing,   where  were  the   smelling? 

18  But  now  hath  God  set  the  members 
every  one  of  them  in  the  body,  as  it  hath 
pleased  him. 

19  And  if  they  were  all  one  member, 
where  were  the  body? 

20  But  now  are  they  many  members, 
yet  but  one  body. 

21  And  the  eye  cannot  say  unto  the 
hand,  I  have  no  need  of  thee:  nor  again 
the  head  to  the  feet,  I  have  no  need  of 
you. 

22  Nay,  much  more  those  members  of 
the  body,  which  seem  to  be  more  feeble, 
are  necessary : 

2S  And  those  members  of  the  body, 
which  we  think  to  be  less  honourable, 
upon  these  we  bestow  more  abundant 
honour;  and  our  uncomely  parts  have 
more  abundant  comeliness. 

24  For  our  comely  parts  have  no  need: 
but  God  hath  tempered  the  body  together, 
having  given  more  abundant  honour  to 
that  part  which  lacked : 

25  That  there  should  be  no  schism  in 
the  body;  but  tJiat  the  members  should 
have  the  same  care  one  for  another. 

26  And  whether  one  member  suffer,  all 
the  members  suffer  with  it;  or  one  mem- 
ber be  honoured,  all  the  members  rejoice 
with  it. 

27  Now  ye  are  the  body  of  Christ,  and 
members  in  particular.

more  abundant  honour  to  that  part 
which  lacked  ;  25  that  there  should 
be  no  schism  in  the  body ;  but  that 
the  members  should  have  the  same

lacked ;  25  that  there  should  be  no 
schism  in  the  body;  but  that  the

21  And  the  eye  cannot  say  to  the  hand : 
I  need  not  thy  help;  nor  again  the  head 
to  the  feet :  I  have  no  need  of  you. 

22  Yea,  much  more  those  that  seem  to 
be  the  more  feeble  members  of  the  body, 
are  more  necessary. 

23  And  such  as  we  think  to  be  the  less 
honourable  members  of  the  body,  about 
these  we  put  m,ore  abundant  honour;  and 
those  that  are  our  uncomely  parts,  have 
more  abundant  comeliness. 

24  But  our  comely  parts  have  no  need: 
but  God  hath  tempered  the  body  together, 
giving  to  that  which  wanted  the  more 
abundant  honour, 

25  That  there  might  be  no  schism  in  the 
body;  but  the  members  might  be  mutu- 
ally careful  one  for  another. 

26  And  if  one  member  suffer  any.  thing, 
all  the  members  suffer  with  it;  or  if  one 
member  glory,  all  the  members  rejoice 
with  it. 

27  Now  you  are  the  body  of  Christ,  and 
members  of  member. 

28  And  God  indeed  hath  set  some  in 
the  church;  first  apostles,  secondly 
prophets,  thirdly  doctors;  after  that 
miracles;  then  the  graces  of  healings, 
helps,  governments,  kinds  of  tongues,  in- 
terpretations of  speeches. 

29  Are  all  apostles?  Are  all  prophets? 
Are  all  doctors? 

30  Are  all  workers  of  miracles?  Have 
all  the  grace  of  healing?  Do  all  speak 
with  tongues?     Do  all  interpret? 

31  But  be  zealous  for  the  better  gifts. 
And  I  shew  unto  you  yet  a  more  excel- 
lent way.

prophecy,  and  understand  all  mysteries, 
and  all  knowledge;  and  though  I  have 
all  faith,  so  that  I  could  remove  moun- 
tains, and  have  not  charity,  I  am  nothing. 

3  And  though  I  bestow  all  my  goods  to 
feed  the  poor,  and  though  I  give  my  body 
to  be  burned,  and  have  not  charity,  it 
profiteth  me  nothing. 

4  Charity  suffereth  long,  and  is  kind; 
charity  envieth  not;  charity  vaunteth  not 
itself,  is  not  puffed  up, 

5  Doth  not  behave  itself  unseemly,  seek- 
eth  not  her  own,  is  not  easily  provoked, 
thinketh  no  evil; 

6  Rejoiceth  not  in  iniquity,  but  re- 
joiceth  in  the  truth; 

7  Beareth  all  things,  believeth  all  things, 
hopeth  all  things,  endureth  all  things. 

8  Charity  never  faileth :  but  whether 
there  be  prophecies,  they  shall  fail; 
whether  there  be  tongues,  they  shall 
cease;  whether  there  be  knowledge,  it 
shall  vanish  away. 

9  For  we  know  in  part,  and  we  proph- 
esy in  part. 

10  But  when  that  which  is  perfect  is 
come,  then  that  which  is  in  part  shall 
be  done  away. 

11  When  I  was  a  child,  I  spake  as  a 
child,  I  understood  as  a  child,  I  thought 
as  a  child :  but  when  I  became  a  man,  I 
put  away  childish  things. 

12  For  now  we  see  through  a  glass, 
darkly;  but  then  face  to  face:  now  I 
know  in  part;  but  then  shall  I  know  even 
as  also  I  am  known. 

13  And  now  abideth  faith,  hope,  char- 
ity, these  three;  but  the  greatest  of  these 
is  charity. 

CHAPTER  14. 

FOLLOW    after    charity,    and    desire 
spiritual  gifts,  but  rather  that  ye  may 
prophesy. 

2  For  he  that  speaketh  in  an  unknown 
tongue  speaketh  not  unto  men,  but  unto 
God :  for  no  man  understandeth  him; 
howbeit  in  the  spirit  he  speaketh  mys- 
teries. 

3  But  he  that  prophesieth  speaketh  unto 
men  to  edification,  and  exhortation,  and 
comfort. 

4  He  that  speaketh  in  an  unknown 
tongue  edifieth  himself;  but  he  that 
prophesieth  edifieth  the  church. 

5  I  would  that  ye  all  spake  with  tongues, 
but  rather  that  ye  prophesied :  for  greater 
is  he  that  prophesieth  than  he  that  speak- 


know  all  mysteries  and  all  knowl- 
edge; and  if  I  have  all  faith,  so  as 
to  remove  mountains,  but  have  not 
love,  I  am  nothing.  3  And  if  I 
bestow  all  my  goods  to  feed  the 
poor,  and  if  I  give  my  body  to  be 
burned,  but  have  not  love,  it  profit- 
eth me  nothing.  4  Love  suffereth 
long,  and  is  kind;  love  envieth  not; 
love  vaunteth  not  itself,  is  not 
puffed  up,  5  doth  not  behave  itself 
unseemly,  seeketh  not  its  own,  is 
not  provoked,  taketh  not  account 
of  evil;  6  rejoiceth  not  in  unright- 
eousness, but  rejoiceth  with  the 
truth;  7  beareth  all  things,  believ- 
eth all  things,  hopeth  all  things, 
endureth  all  things.  8  Love  never 
faileth :  but  whether  there  be  proph- 
ecies, they  shall  be  done  away;, 
whether  there  be  tongues,  they  shall 
cease;  whethec  there  be  knowledge, 
it  shall  be  done  away.  9  For  we 
know  in  part,  and  we  prophesy  in 
part:  10  but  when  that  which  is 
perfect  is  come,  that  which  is  in 
part  shall  be  done  away.  11  When 
I  was  a  child,  I  spake  as  a  child,  I 
felt  as  a  child,  I  thought  as  a  child : 
now  that  I  am  become  a  man,  I 
have  put  away  childish  things. 
12  For  now  we  see  in  a  mirror, 
darkly ;  but  then  face  to  face : 
now  I  know  in  part;  but  then  shall 
I  know  even  as  also  I  have  been 
known.  13  But  now  abideth  faith, 
hope,  love,  these  three;  and  the 
greatest  of  these  is  love.

I  bestow  all  my  goods  to  feed  the

love  vaunteth  not  itself,  is  not 
puffed  up,  5  doth  not  behave  itself

not  provoked,  taketh  not  account

eousness, but  rejoiceth  with  the 
truth ;  7  beareth  all  things,  believeth 
all  things,  hopeth  all  things,  en- 
dureth  all  things.  8  Love  never 
faileth :  but  whether  there  be  proph- 
ecies, they  shall  be  done  away ; 
whether  there  be  tongues,  they  shall 
cease ;  whether  there  be  knowledge, 
it  shall  be  done  away.  9  For  we 
know  in  part,  and  we  prophesy  in 
part;  10  but  when  that  which  is 
perfect  is  come,  that  which  is  in 
part  shall  be  done  away.  11  When 
I  was  a  child,  I  spake  as  a  child, 
I  felt  as  a  child,  I  thought  as  a 
child:  now  that  I  am  become  a 
man,  I  have  put  away  childish 
things.  12  For  now  we  see  in  a 
mirror,  darkly ;  but  then  face  to 
face:  now  I  know  in  part;  but  then 
shall  I  know  fully  even  as  also  I 
was  fully  known.  13  But  now 
abideth  faith,  hope,  love,  these 
three;  and  the  greatest  of  these  is 
love. 


T?OLLOW  after  love;  yet  de- 
14 A-  sire  earnestly  spiritual  gifts, 
but  rather  that  ye  may  prophesy, 
2  For  he  that  speaketh  in  a  tongue 
speaketh  not  unto  men,  but  unto 
God;  for  no  man  understandeth ; 
but  in  the  spirit  he  speaketh  mys- 
teries. 3  But  he  that  prophesieth 
speaketh  unto  men  edification,  and 
exhortation,  and  consolation.  4  He 
that  speaketh  in  a  tongue  edifieth 
himself;  but  he  that  prophesieth 
edifieth  the  church.  5  Now  I 
would  have  you  all  speak  with 
tongues,  but  rather  that  ye  should 
prophesy :  and  greater  is  he  that 
prophesieth   than   he   that   speaketh 


should  know  all  mysteries,  and  all  knowl- 
edge, and  if  I  should  have  all  faith,  so 
that  I  could  remove  mountains,  and  have 
not  charity,  I  am  nothing. 

3  And  if  I  should  distribute  all  my 
goods  to  feed  the  poor,  and  if  I  should 
deliver  my  body  to  be  burned,  and  have 
not  charity,  it  profiteth  me  nothing. 

4  Charity  is  patient,  is  kind:  charity 
envieth  not,  dealeth  not  perversely;  is 
not  puffed  up; 

5  Is  not  ambitious,  seeketh  not  her  own, 
is  not  provoked  to  anger,  thinketh  no 
evil ; 

6  Rejoiceth  not  in  iniquity,  but  rejoiceth 
with  the  truth; 

7  Beareth  all  things,  believeth  all  things, 
hopeth  all  things,  endureth  all  things. 

8  Charity  never  faileth  away :  whether 
prophecies  shall  be  made  void,  or  tongues 
shall  cease,  or  knowledge  shall  be  de- 
stroyed. 

9  For  we  know  in  part,  and  we  prophesy 
in  part. 

10  But  when  that  which  is  perfect  is 
come,  that  which  is  in  part  shall  be  done 
away. 

11  When  I  was  a  child,  I  spoke  as  a 
child,  I  understood  as  a  child,  I  thought 
as  a  child.  But,  when  I  became  a  man, 
I   put   away  the  things  of  a   child. 

12  We  see  now  through  a  glass  in  a 
dark  manner;  but  then  face  to  face.  Now 
I  know  in  part;  but  then  I  shall  know 
even  as  I  am  known. 

13  And  now  there  remain  faith,  hope, 
and  charity,  these  three:  but  the  greatest 
of  these  is  charity. 


CHAPTER  14. 

FOLLOW  after  charity,  be  zealous  for 
spiritual    gifts;    but   rather    that   you 
may  prophesy. 

2  For  he  that  speaketh  in  a  tongue, 
speaketh  not  unto  men,  but  unto  God: 
for  no  man  heareth.  Yet  by  the  Spirit  he 
speaketh  mysteries. 

3  But  he  that  prophesieth,  speaketh  to 
men  unto  edification,  and  exhortation,  and 
comfort. 

4  He  that  speaketh  in  a  tongue,  edifieth 
himself:  but  he  that  prophesieth,  edifieth 
the  church. 

5  And  I  would  have  you  all  to  speak 
with  tongues,  but  rather  to  prophesy. 
For  greater  is  he  that  prophesieth,  than 
he    that    speaketh    with    tongues:    unless

eth  with  tongues,  except  he  interpret,  that 
the   church   may   receive   edifying. 

6  Now,  brethren,  if  I  come  unto  you 
speaking  with  tongues,  what  shall  I  profit 
you,  except  I  shall  speak  to  you  either 
by  revelation,  or  by  knowledge,  or  by 
prophesying,  or  by  doctrine? 

7  And  even  things  without  life  giving 
sound,  whether  pipe  or  harp,  except  they 
give  a  distinction  in  the  sounds,  how 
shall  it  be  known  what  is  piped  or 
harped? 

8  For  if  the  trumpet  give  an  uncertain 
sound,  who  shall  prepare  himself  to  the 
battle  ? 

9  So  likewise  ye,  except  ye  utter  by 
the  tongue  words  easy  to  be  understood, 
how  shall  it  be  known  what  is  spoken? 
for  ye  shall  speak  into  the  air. 

ID  There  are,  it  may  be,  so  many  kinds 
of  voices  in  the  world,  and  none  of  them 
is  without  signification. 

11  Therefore  if  I  know  not  the  meaning 
of  the  voice,  I  shall  be  unto  him  that 
speaketh  a  barbarian,  and  he  that  speak- 
eth  shall  be  a  barbarian  unto  me. 

12  Even  so  ye,  forasmuch  as  ye  are 
zealous  of  spiritual  gifts,  seek  that  ye 
may  excel  to  the  edifying  of  the  church, 

13  Wherefore  let  him  that  speaketh  in 
an  unknown  tongue  pray  that  he  may 
interpret. 

14  For  if  I  pray  in  an  unknown  tongue, 
my  spirit  prayeth,  but  my  understanding 
is  unfruitful. 

15  What  is  it  then?  I  will  pray  with 
the  spirit,  and  I  will  pray  with  the  un- 
derstanding also:  I  will  sing  with  the 
spirit>  and  I  will  sing  with  the  under- 
standing also. 

16  Else  when  thou  shalt  bless  with  the 
spirit,  how  shall  he  that  occupieth  the 
room  of  the  unlearned  say  Amen  at  thy 
giving  of  thanks,  seeing  he  understandeth 
not  what  thou  sayest? 

17  For  thou  verily  givest  thanks  well, 
but  the  other  is  not  edified. 

18  I  thank  my  God,  I  speak  with 
tongues  more  than  ye  all : 

19  Yet  in  the  church  I  had  rather 
speak  five  words  with  my  understanding, 
that  by  my  voice  I  might  teach  others 
also,  than  ten  thousand  words  in  an  un- 
known tongue. 

20  Brethren,  be  not  children  in  under- 
standing :  howbeit  in  malice  be  ye  chil- 
dren, but  in   understanding  be  men. 

21  In  the  law  it  is  written.  With  men  of 
oth^r  tongues  and  other  lips  will  I  speak 


except  he  interpret,  that  the  church 
may  receive  edifying.  6  But  now, 
brethren,  if  I  come  unto  you  speak- 
ing with  tongues,  what  shall  I 
profit  you,  unless  I  speak  to  you 
either  by  way  of  revelation,  or  of 
knowledge,  or  of  prophesying,  or 
of  teaching?  7  Even  things  with- 
out life,  giving  a  voice,  whether  pipe 
or  harp,  if  they  give  not  a  distinc- 
tion in  the  sounds,  how  shall  it  be 
known  what  is  piped  or  harped? 
8  For  if  the  trumpet  give  an  uncer- 
tain voice,  who  shall  prepare  him- 
self for  war?  9  So  also  ye,  unless 
ye  utter  by  the  tongue  speech  easy 
to  be  understood,  how  shall  it  be 
known  what  is  spoken?  for  ye  will 
be  speaking  into  the  air.  10  There 
are,  it  may  be,  so  many  kinds  of 
voices  in  the  world,  and  no  kind 
is  without  signification.  11  If  then 
I  know  not  the  meaning  of  the 
voice,  I  shall  be  to  him  that  speak- 
eth a  barbarian,  and  he  that  speak- 
eth will  be  a  barbarian  unto  me. 
12  So  also  ye,  sinee  ye  are  zealous 
of  spiritual  gifts,  seek  that  ye  may 
abound  unto  the  edifying  of  the 
church.  13  Wherefore  let  him  that 
speaketh  in  a  tongue  pray  that  he 
may  interpret.  14  For  if  I  pray  in 
a  tongue,  my  spirit  prayeth,  but 
my  understanding  is  unfruitful.  15 
What  is  it  then?  I  will  pray  with 
the  spirit,  and  I  will  pray  with  the 
understanding  also:  I  will  sing  with 
the  spirit,  and  I  will  sing  with  the 
understanding  also.  16  Else  if  thou 
bless  with  the  spirit,  how  shall  he 
that  filleth  the  place  of  the  un- 
learned say  the  Amen  at  thy  giv- 
ing of  thanks,  seeing  he  knoweth 
not  what  thou  sayest?  17  For  thou 
verily  givest  thanks  well,  but  the 
other  is  not  edified.  18  I  thank 
God,  I  speak  with  tongues  more 
than  you  all :  19  howbeit  in  the 
church  I  had  rather  speak  five 
words  with  my  understanding,  that 
I  might  instruct  others  also,  than 
ten  thousand  words  in  a  tongue. 

20  Brethren,  be  not  children  in 
mind :  howbeit  in  malice  be  ye 
babes,  but  in  mind  be  men. 
21  In  the  law  it  is  written,  By  men 
of  strange  tongues  and  by  the  lips 
of  strangers  will  I  speak  unto  this 
people;  and  not  even  thus  will  they

that  the  church  may  receive  edify- 
ing. 6  But  now,  brethren,  if  I  come 
unto  you  speaking  with  tongues, 
what  shall  I  profit  you,  unless  I 
speak  to  you  either  by  way  of 
revelation,  or  of  knowledge,  or 
of  prophesying,  or  of  teaching?  7 
Even  things  without  life,  giving 
a  voice,  whether  pipe  or  harp,  if 
they  give  not  a  distinction  in  the 
sounds,  how  shall  it  be  known  what 
is  piped  or  harped?  8  For  if  the 
trumpet  give  an  uncertain  voice, 
who  shall  prepare  himself  for  war? 
9  So  also  ye,  unless  ye  utter  by 
the  tongue  speech  easy  to  be  un- 
derstood, how  shall  it  be  known 
what  is  spoken?  for  ye  will  be 
speaking  into  the  air.  10  There 
are,  it  may  be,  so  many  kinds  of 
voices  in  the  world,  and  no  kind 
is  without  signification.  11  If  then 
I  know  not  the  meaning  of  the 
voice,  I  shall  be  to  him  that  speak- 
eth  a  barbarian,  and  he  that  speak- 
eth  will  be  a  barbarian  unto  me. 
12  So  also  ye,  since  ye  are  zealous 
of  spiritual  gifts,  seek  that  ye  may 
abound  unto  the  edifying  of  the 
church.  13  Wherefore  let  him  that 
speaketh  in  a  tongue  pray  that  he 
may  interpret.  14  For  if  I  pray  in 
a  tongue,  my  spirit  prayeth,  but 
my  understanding  is  unfruitful.  15 
What  is  it  then?  I  will  pray  with 
the  spirit,  and  I  will  pray  with  the 
understanding  also:  I  will  sing 
with  the  spirit,  and  I  will  sing  with 
the  understanding  also.  16  Else  if 
thou  bless  with  the  spirit,  how  shall 
he  that  filleth  the  place  of  the  un- 
learned say  the  Amen  at  thy  giving 
of  thanks,  seeing  he  knoweth  not 
what  thou  sayest?  17  For  thou 
verily  givest  thanks  well,  but  the 
other  is  not  edified.  18  I  thank 
God,  I  speak  with  tongues  more 
than  you  all:  19  howbeit  in  the 
church  I  had  rather  speak  five 
words  with  my  understanding,  that 
I  might  instruct  others  also,  than

20  Brethren,  be  not  children  in 
mind:  yet  in  malice  be  ye  babes, 
but  in  mind  be  men.  21  In  the 
law  it  is  written.  By  men  of  strange 
tongues  and  by  the  lips  of  strangers 
will  I  speak  unto  this  people;  and 


perhaps  he  interpret,  that  the  church  may 
receive   edification. 

6  But  now,  brethren,  if  I  come  to  you 
speaking  with  tongues,  what  shall  I  profit 
you,  unless  I  speak  to  you  either  in  reve- 
lation, or  in  knowledge,  or  in  prophecy, 
or  in  doctrine? 

7  Even  things  without  life  that  give 
sound,  whether  pipe  or  harp,  except  they 
give  a  distinction  of  sounds,  how  shall 
it  be  known  what  is  piped  or  harped? 

8  For  if  the  trumpet  give  an  uncertain 
sound,  who  shall  prepare  himself  to  the 
battle  ? 

9  So  likewise  you,  except  you  utter  by 
the  tongue  plain  speech,  how  shall  it  be 
known  what  is  said?  For  you  shall  be 
speaking  into  the  air. 

10  There  are,  for  example,  so  many 
kinds  of  tongues  in  this  world;  and  none 
is  without  voice. 

11  If  then  I  know  not  the  power  of  the 
voice,  I  shall  be  to  him  to  whom  I  speak 
a  barbarian;  and  he  that  speaketh,  a  bar- 
barian to  me. 

12  So  you  also,  forasmuch  as  you  are 
zealous  of  spirits,  seek  to  abound  unto 
the  edifying  of  the  church. 

13  And  therefore  he  that  speaketh  by  a 
tongue,  let  him  pray  that  he  may  inter- 
pret. 

14  For  if  I  pray  in  a  tongue,  my  spirit 
prayeth,  but  my  understanding  is  without 
fruit. 

15  What  is  it  then?  I  will  pray  with 
the  spirit,  I  will  pray  also  with  the  under- 
standing; I  will  sing  with  the  spirit,  I 
will  sing  also  with  the  understanding, 

16  Else  if  thou  shalt  bless  with  the 
spirit,  how  shall  he  that  holdeth  the  place 
of  the  unlearned  say.  Amen,  to  thy  bless- 
ing? because  he  knoweth  not  what  thou 
sayest. 

17  For  thou  indeed  givest  thanks  well, 
but  the  other  is  not  edified. 

18  I  thank  my  God  I  speak  with  all  your 
tongues. 

19  But  in  the  church  I  had  rather  speak 
five  words  with  my  understanding,  that  I 
may  instruct  others  also;  than  ten  thou- 
sand words  in  a  tongue. 

20  Brethren,  do  not  become  children  in 
sense :  but  in  malice  be  children,  and  in 
sense  be  perfect. 

21  In  the  law  it  is  written :  In  other 
tgngues  and  other  lips  I  will  speak  to  this 
people;  and  neither  so  will  they  hear  me, 
saith  the  Lord. 

22  Wherefore  tongues  are  for  a  sign,

unto    this   people ;    and   yet    for    all   that 
will  they  not  hear  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

22  Wherefore  tongues  are  for  a  sign, 
not  to  them  that  believe,  but  to  them 
that  believe  not :  but  prophesying  serveth 
not  for  them  that  believe  not,  but  for 
them  which  believe. 

23  If  therefore  the  whole  church  be 
come  together  into  one  place,  and  all 
speak  with  tongues,  and  there  come  in 
those  that  are  unlearned,  or  unbelievers, 
will  they  not  say  that  ye  are  mad? 

24  But  if  all  prophesy,  and  there  come 
in  one  that  believeth  not,  or  one  un- 
learned, he  is  convinced  of  all,  he  is 
judged  of  all: 

25  And  thus  are  the  secrets  of  his  heart 
made  manifest;  and  so  falling  down  on 
his  face  he  will  worship  God,  and  report 
that  God  is  in  you  of  a  truth. 

26  How  is  it  then,  brethren?  when  ye 
come  together,  every  one  of  you  hath  a 
psalm,  hath  a  doctrine,  hath  a  tongue, 
hath  a  revelation,  hath  an  interpretation. 
Let  all  things  be  done  unto  edifying. 

27  If  any  man  speak  in  an  unknown 
tongue,  let  it  he  by  two,  or  at  the  most  by 
three,  and  that  by  course;  and  let  one 
interpret, 

28  But  if  there  be  no  interpreter,  let 
him  keep  silence  in  the  church;  and  let 
him  speak  to  himself,  and  to  God. 

29  Let  the  prophets  speak  two  or  three, 
and   let   the   other   judge. 

30  If  any  thing  be  revealed  to  another 
that  sitteth  by,  let  the  first  hold  his  peace. 

31  For  ye  may  all  prophesy  one  by 
one,  that  all  may  learn,  and  all  may  be 
comforted. 

32  And  the  spirits  of  the  prophets  are 
subject  to  the  prophets. 

33  For  God  is  not  the  author  of  con- 
fusion, but  of  peace,  as  in  all  churches 
of  the  saints. 

34  Let  your  women  keep  silence  in  the 
churches :  for  it  is  not  permitted  unto 
them  to  speak;  but  they  are  commanded 
to  be  under  obedience,  as  also  saith  the 
law. 

35  And  if  they  will  learn  any  thing, 
let  them  ask  their  husbands  at  home :  for 
it  is  a  shame  for  women  to  speak  in  the 
church. 

36  What?  came  the  word  of  God  out 
from  you?  or  came  it  unto  you  only? 

Z7  If  any  man  think  himself  to  be  a 
prophet,  or  spiritual,  let  him  acknowl- 
edge that  the  things  that  I  write  unto 
you  are  the  commandments  of  the  Lord. 


hear  me,  saith  the  Lord.  22  Where- 
fore tongues  are  for  a  sign,  not  to 
thern  that  believe,  but  to  the  unbe- 
lieving: but  prophesying  is  for  a 
sign,  not  to  the  unbelieving,  but 
to  them  that  believe.  23  If  there- 
fore the  whole  church  be  assem- 
bled together,  and  all  speak  with 
tongues,  and  there  come  in  men  un- 
learned or  unbelieving,  will  they  not 
say  that  ye  are  mad?  24  But  if  all 
prophesy,  and  there  come  in  one 
unbelieving  or  unlearned,  he  is  re- 
proved by  all,  he  is  judged  by  all; 
25  the  secrets  of  his  heart  are  made 
manifest;  and  so  he  will  fall  down 
on  his  face  and  worship  God,  de- 
claring that  God  is  among  you 
indeed. 

26  What  is  it  then,  brethren? 
When  ye  come  together,  each  one 
hath  a  psalm,  hath  a  teaching,  hath 
a  revelation,  hath  a  tongue,  hath  an 
interpretation.  Let  all  things  be 
done  unto  edifying.  27  If  any  man 
speaketh  in  a  tongue,  let  it  be  by 
two,  or  at  the  most  three,  and  that 
in  turn;  and  let  one  interpret:  28 
but  if  there  be  no  interpreter,  let 
him  keep  silence  in  the  church; 
and  let  him  speak  to  himself,  and  to 
God.  29  And  let  the  prophets  speak 
by  two  or  three,  and  let  the  others 
discern.  30  But  if  a  revelation  be 
made  to  another  sitting  by,  let  the 
first  keep  silence.  31  For  ye  all  can 
prophesy  one  by  one,  that  all  may 
learn,  and  all  may  be  comforted; 
32  and  the  spirits  of  the  prophets 
are  subject  to  the  prophets ;  2>2>  for 
God  is  not  a  God  of  confusion,  but 
of  peace ;  as  in  all  the  churches  of 
the  saints. 

34  Let  the  women  keep  silence  in 
the  churches :  for  it  is  not  permitted 
unto  them  to  speak;  but  let  them 
be  in  subjection,  as  also  saith  the 
law.  35  And  if  they  would  learn 
anything,  let  them  ask  their  own 
husbands  at  home :  for  it  is  shame- 
ful for  a  woman  to  speak  in  the 
church.  36  What?  was  it  from  you 
that  the  word  of  God  went  forth? 
or  came   it   unto  you   alone? 

^y  If  any  man  thinketh  himself 
to  be  a  prophet,  or  spiritual,  let 
him  take  knowledge  of  the  things 
which  I  write  unto  you,  that  they 
are  the  commandment  of  the  Lord.

not  even  thus  will  they  hear  me, 
saith  the  Lord.  22  Wherefore 
tongues  are  for  a  sign,  not  to  them 
that  believe,  but  to  the  unbeliev- 
ing: but  prophesying  is  for  a  sign, 
not  to  the  unbelieving,  but  to  them 
that  believe.  23  If  therefore  the 
whole  church  be  assembled  together 
and  all  speak  with  tongues,  and 
there  come  in  men  unlearned  or  un- 
believing, will  they  not  say  that 
ye  are  mad?  24  But  if  all  proph- 
esy, and  there  come  in  one  unbe- 
lieving or  unlearned,  he  is  reproved 
by  all,  he  is  judged  by  all;  25  the 
secrets  of  his  heart  are  made  mani- 
fest; and  so  he  will  fall  down  on 
his  face  and  worship  God,  declar- 
ing that  God  is  among  you  indeed. 

26  What  is  it  then,  brethren? 
When  ye  come  together,  each  one 
hath  a  psalm,  hath  a  teaching,  hath

an  interpretation.  Let  all  things

28  but  if  there  be  no  interpreter,

and  let  him  speak  to  himself,  and

speak  by  two  or  three,  and  let  the 
others  discern.  30  But  if  a  revela- 
tion be  made  to  another  sitting  by, 
let  the  first  keep  silence.  31  For 
ye  all  can  prophesy  one  by  one, 
that  all  may  learn,  and  all  may  be 
exhorted;  32  and  the  spirits  of  the 
prophets  are  subject  to  the  proph- 
ets ;  ss  for  God  is  not  a  God  of 
confusion,  but  of  peace. 

As  in  all  the  churches  of  the 
saints,  34  let  the  women  keep  si- 
lence in  the  churches:  for  it  is  not 
permitted  unto  them  to  speak;  but 
let  them  be  in  subjection,  as  also 
saith  the  law.  35  And  if  they 
would  learn  anything,  let  them  ask 
their  own  husbands  at  home :  for  it 
is  shameful  for  a  woman  to  speak 
in  the  church.  36  What?  was  it 
from  you  that  the  word  of  God 
went  forth?  or  came  it  unto  you 
alone  ? 

37  If  any  man  thinketh  himself 
to  be  a  prophet,  or  spiritual,  let  him 
take  knowledge  of  the  things  which 
I  write  unto  you,  that  they  are  the 


not  to  believers,  but  to  unbelievers;  but 
prophecies  not  to  unbelievers,  but  to  be- 
lievers. 

23  If  therefore  the  whole  church  come 
together  into  one  place,  and  all  speak 
with  tongues,  and  there  come  in  un- 
learned persons  or  infidels,  will  they  not 
say  that  you  are  mad? 

24  But  if  all  prophesy,  and  there  come 
in  one  that  believeth  not,  or  an  unlearned 
person,  he  is  convinced  of  all,  he  is 
judged  of  all. 

25  The  secrets  of  his  heart  are  made 
manifest ;  and  so,  falling  down  on  his 
face,  he  will  adore  God,  affirming  that 
God  is  among  you  indeed. 

26  How  is  it  then,  brethren?  When 
you  come  together,  every  one  of  you  hath 
a  psalm,  hath  a  doctrine,  hath  a  revela- 
tion, hath  a  tongue,  hath  an  interpreta-

27  If  any  speak  with  a  tongue,  let  it  be 
by  two,  or  at  the  most  by  three,  and  in

28  But  if  there  be  no  interpreter,  let 
him  hold  his  peace  in  the  church,  and 
speak  to  himself  and  to  God. 

29  And  let  the  prophets  speak,  two  or 
three;  and  let  the  rest  judge. 

30  But  if  any  thing  be  revealed  to 
another  sitting,  let  the  first  hold  his 
peace. 

31  For  you  may  all  prophesy  one  by

33  For  God  is  not  the  God  of  dissen-

it  is  a  shame  for  a  woman  to  speak  in  the

CHAPTER  15. 

MOREOVER,  brethren,  I  declare  unto 
you  the  gospel  which  I  preached 
unto  you,  which  also  ye  have  received, 
and  wherein  ye  stand; 

2  By  which  also  ye  are  saved,  if  ye 
keep  in  memory  what  I  preached  unto 
you,  unless  ye  have  believed  in  vain. 

3  For  I  delivered  unto  you  first  of  all 
that  which  I  also  received,  how  that 
Christ  died  for  our  sins  according  to  the 
scriptures ; 

4  And  that  he  was  buried,  and  that  he 
rose  again  the  third  day  according  to 
the   scriptures : 

5  And  that  he  was  seen  of  Cephas,  then 
of  the  twelve : 

6  After  that,  he  was  seen  of  above  five 
hundred  brethren  at  once;  of  whom  the 
greater  part  remain  unto  this  present, 
but  some  are  fallen  asleep. 

7  After  that,  he  was  seen  of  James; 
then  of  all  the  apostles. 

8  And  last  of  all  he  was  seen  of  me 
also,  as  of  one  born  out  of  due  time. 

9  For  I  am  the  least  of  the  apostles, 
that  am  not  meet  to  be  called  an  apostle, 
because  I  persecuted  the  church  of  God. 

10  But  by  the  grace  of  God  I  am  what 
I  am :  and  his  grace  which  was  bestowed 
upon  me  was  not  in  vain ;  but  I  laboured 
more  abundantly  than  they  all :  yet  not  I, 
but  the  grace  of  God  which  was  with  me. 

11  Therefore  whether  it  were  I  or  they, 
so  we  preach,  and  so  ye  believed. 

12  Now  if  Christ  be  preached  that  he 
rose  from  the  dead,  how  say  some  among 
you  that  there  is  no  resurrection  of  the 
dead? 

13  But  if  there  be  no  resurrection  of 
the  dead,  then  is  Christ  not  risen : 

14  And  if  Christ  be  not  risen,  then  is 
our  preaching  vain,  and  your  faith  is  also 
vain. 

15  Yea,  and  we  are.  found  false  wit- 
nesses of  God;  because  we  have  testified 
of  God  that  he  raised  up  Christ :  whom 
he  raised  not  up,  if  so  be  that  the  dead 
rise  not. 

16  For  if  the  dead  rise  not,  then  is  not 
Christ  raised: 


38  But  if  any  man  is  ignorant,  let 
him   be    ignorant. 

39  Wherefore,  my  brethren,  de- 
sire earnestly  to  prophesy,  and  for- 
bid not  to  speak  with  tongues. 
40  But  let  all  things  be  done  de- 
cently and  in  order. 


I^OW  I  make  known  unto 
1 5-1-^  you,  brethren,  the  gospel 
which  I  preached  unto  you,  which 
also  ye  received,  wherein  also  ye 
stand,  2  by  which  also  ye  are  saved ; 
/  make  known,  I  say,  in  what 
words  I  preached  it  unto  you,  if 
ye  hold  it  fast,  except  ye  believed 
in  vain.  3  For  I  delivered  unto  you 
first  of  all  that  which  also  I  re- 
ceived, how  that  Christ  died  for 
our  sins  according  to  the  scrip- 
tures ;  4  and  that  he  was  buried ; 
and  that  he  hath  been  raised  on 
the  third  day  according  to  the 
scriptures ;  5  and  that  he  appeared 
to  Cephas ;  then  to  the  twelve ; 
6  then  he  appeared  to  above  five 
hundred  brethren  at  once,  of  whom 
the  greater  part  remain  until  now, 
but  some  are  fallen  asleep ;  7  then 
he  appeared  to  James ;  then  to  all 
the  apostles;  8  and  last  of  all,  as 
unto  one  born  out  of  due  time,  he 
appeared  to  me  also.  9  For  I  am 
the  least  of  the  apostles,  that  am 
not  meet  to  be  called  an  apostle, 
because  I  persecuted  the  church  of 
God.  10  But  by  the  grace  of  God 
I  am  what  I  am :  and  his  grace 
which  was  bestowed  upon  me  was 
not  found  vain ;  but  I  laboured  more 
abundantly  than  they  all :  yet  not 
I,  but  the  grace  of  God  which  was 
with  me.  11  Whether  then  it  be 
I  or  they,  so  we  preach,  and  so 
ye  believed. 

12  Now  if  Christ  is  preached  that 
he  hath  been  raised  from  the  dead, 
how  say  some  among  you  that  there 
is  no  resurrection  of  the  dead? 
13  But  if  there  is  no  resurrection  of 
the  dead,  neither  hath  Christ  been 
raised :  14  and  if  Christ  hath  not 
been  raised,  then  is  our  preaching 
vain,  your  faith  also  is  vain, 
15  Yea,  and  we  are  found  false  wit- 
nesses of  God ;  because  we  wit- 
nessed of  God  that  he  raised  up 
Christ:  whom  he  raised  not  up,  if

if  any  man  is  ignorant,  let  him  be

39  Wherefore,  my  brethren,  de- 
sire earnestly  to  prophesy,  and  for- 
bid not  to  speak  with  tongues.  40 
But  let  all  things  be  done  decently 
and  in  order. 

lyrOW  I  make  known  unto 
15-'-^  you,  brethren,  the  gospel 
which  I  preached  unto  you,  which 
also  ye  received,  wherein  also  ye 
stand,  2  by  which  also  ye  are  saved, 
if  ye  hold  fast  the  word  which  I 
preached  unto  you,  except  ye  be- 
lieved in  vain.  3  For  I  delivered 
unto  you  first  of  all  that  which  also 
I  received:  that  Christ  died  for 
our  sins  according  to  the  scrip- 
tures ;  4  and  that  he  was  buried ; 
and  that  he  hath  been  raised  on 
the  third  day  according  to  the 
scriptures ;  5  and  that  he  appeared 
to  Cephas;  then  to  the  twelve;  6 
then  he  appeared  to  above  five  hun- 
dred brethren  at  once,  of  whom 
the  greater  part  remain  until  now, 
but  some  are  fallen  asleep ;  7  then 
he  appeared  to  James ;  then  to  all 
the  apostles;  8  and  last  of  all,  as 
to  the  child  untimely  born,  he  ap- 
peared to  me  also.  9  For  I  am  the 
least  of  the  apostles,  that  am  not 
meet  to  be  called  an  apostle,  be- 
cause I  persecuted  the  church  of 
God.  10  But  by  the  grace  of  God 
I  am  what  I  am :  and  his  grace 
which  was  bestowed  upon  me  was 
not  found  vain;  but  I  labored  more 
abundantly  than  they  all :  yet  not  I, 
but  the  grace  of  God  which  was 
with  me.  11  Whether  then  it  be 
I  or  they,  so  we  preach,  and  so  ye 
believed. 

12  Now  if  Christ  is  preached 
that  he  hath  been  raised  from  the 
dead,  how  say  some  among  you  that 
there  is  no  resurrection  of  the 
dead?  13  But  if  there  is  no  resur- 
rection of  the  dead,  neither  hath 
Christ  been  raised :  14  and  if  Christ 
hath  not  been  raised,  then  is  our 
preaching  vain,  your  faith  also  is 
vain.  15  Yea,  and  we  are  found 
false  witnesses  of  God ;  because  we 
witnessed  of  God  that  he  raised  up 
Christ :  whom  he  raised  not  up,  if 
so  be  that  the  dead  are  not  raised. 


40  But  let  all  things  be  done  decently, 
and  according  to  order. 


CHAPTER  IS. 

NOW  I  make  known  unto  you,  breth- 
ren, the  gospel  which  I  preached  to 
you,  which  also  you  have  received,  and 
wherein  you  stand ; 

2  By  which  also  you  are  saved,  if  you 
hold  fast  after  what  manner  I  preached 
unto  you,  unless  you  have  believed  in 
vain. 

3  For  I  delivered  unto  you  first  of  all, 
which  I  also  received :  how  that  Christ 
died  for  our  sins,  according  to  the 
scriptures : 

4  And  that  he  was  buried,  and  that  he 
rose  again  the  third  day,  according  to  the 
scriptures : 

5  And  that  he  was  seen  by  Cephas; 
and  after  that  by  the  eleven, 

6  Then  was  he  seen  by  more  than  five 
hundred  brethren  at  once :  of  whom  many 
remain  until  this  present,  and  some  are 
fallen  asleep. 

7  After  that,  he  was  seen  by  James,  then 
by  all  the  apostles. 

8  And  last  of  all,  he  was  seen  also  by 
me,  as  by  one  born  out  of  due  time. 

9  For  I  am  the  least  of  the  apostles, 
who  am  not  worthy  to  be  called  an  apos- 
tle, because  I  persecuted  the  church  of 
God. 

10  But  by  the  grace  of  God,  I  am  what 
I  am;  and  his  grace  in  me  hath  not  been 
void,  but  I  have  laboured  more  abundantly 
than  all  they:  yet  not  I,  but  the  grace  of 
God  with  me : 

11  For  whether  I,  or  they,  so  we  preach, 
and  so  you  have  believed. 

12  Now  if  Christ  be  preached,  that  he 
arose  again  from  the  dead,  how  do  some 
among  you  say,  that  there  is  no  resurrec- 
tion of  the  dead? 

13  But  if  there  be  no  resurrection  of 
the  dead,  then  Christ  is  not  risen  again. 

14  And  if  Christ  be  not  risen  again, 
then  is  our  preaching  vain,  and  your 
faith  is  also  vain. 

15  Yea,  and  we  are  found  false  wit- 
nesses of  God:  because  we  have  given 
testimony  against  God,  that  he  hath  raised 
up  Christ;  whom  he  hath  not  raised  up, 
if  the  dead  rise  not  again.

17  And  if  Christ  be  not  raised,  your 
faith  is  vain;  ye  are  yet  in  your  sins. 

18  Then  they  also  which  are  fallen 
asleep  in  Christ  are  perished. 

19  If  in  this  life  only  we  have  hope  in 
Christ,  we  are  of  all  men  most  miserable. 

20  But  now  is  Christ  risen  from  the 
dead,  and  become  the  firstfruits  of  them 
that  slept. 

21  For  since  by  man  came  death,  by 
man  came  also  the  resurrection  of  the 
dead. 

22  For  as  in  Adam  all  die,  even  so  in 
Christ  shall  all  be  made  alive. 

23  But  every  man  in  his  own  order : 
Christ  the  firstfruits;  afterward  they  that 
are  Christ's  at  his  coming. 

24  Then  cometh  the  end,  when  he  shall 
have  delivered  up  the  kingdom  to  God, 
even  the  Father ;  when  he  shall  have  put 
down  all  rule  and  all  authority  and  power. 

25  For  he  must  reign,  till  he  hath  put 
all  enemies  under  his  feet. 

26  The  last  enemy  that  shall  be  de- 
stroyed is  death. 

2y  For  he  hath  put  all  things  under 
his  feet.  But  when  he  saith  all  things 
are  put  under  him,  it  is  manifest  that  he 
is  excepted,  which  did  put  all  things  un- 
der him. 

28  And  when  all  things  shall  be  sub- 
dued unto  him,  then  shall  the  Son  also 
himself  be  subject  unto  him  that  put  all 
things  under  him,  that  God  may  be  all 
in  all. 

29  Else  what  shall  they  do  which  are 
baptized  for  the  dead,  if  the  dead  rise 
not  at  all?  why  are  they  then  baptized  for 
the  dead? 

30  And  why  stand  we  in  jeopardy  every 
hour? 

31  I  protest  by  your  rejoicing  which 
I  have  in  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord,  I  die 
daily. 

32  If  after  the  manner  of  men  I  have 
fought  with  beasts  at  Ephesus,  what  ad- 
vantageth  it  me,  if  the  dead  rise  not? 
let  us  eat  and  drink;  for  to  morrow  we 
die. 

33  Be  not  deceived :  evil  communica- 
tions corrupt  good  manners. 

34  Awake  to  righteousness,  and  sin  not ; 
for  some  have  not  the  knowledge  of  God : 
I  speak  this  to  your  shame. 

35  But  some  man  will  say.  How  are 
the  dead  raised  up?  and  with  what  body 
do  they  come? 

36  Thou  fool,  that  which  thou  sowest 
is  not  quickened,  except  it  die: 


so  be  that  the  dead  are  not  raised. 

16  For  if  the  dead  are  not  raised, 
neither    hath    Christ    been    raised: 

17  and  if  Christ  hath  not  been 
raised,  your  faith  is  vain;  ye  are 
yet  in  your  sins.  18  Then  they  also 
which  are  fallen  asleep  in  Christ 
have  perished.  19  If  in  this  life 
only  we  have  hoped  in  Christ,  we 
are  of  all  men  most  pitiable. 

20  But  now  hath  Christ  been 
raised  from  the  dead,  the  firstfruits 
of  them  that  are  asleep.  21  For 
since  by  man  came  death,  by  man 
came  also  the  resurrection  of  the 
dead.  22  For  as  in  Adam  all  die, 
so  also  in  Christ  shall  all  be  made 
alive.  23  But  each  in  his  own  or- 
der: Christ  the  firstfruits;  then 
they  that  are  Christ's,  at  his  com- 
ing. 24  Then  cometh  the  end,  when 
he  shall  deliver  up  the  kingdom  to 
God,  even  the  Father ;  when  he 
shall  have  abolished  all  rule  and 
all  authority  and  power.  25  For  he 
must  reign,  till  he  hath  put  all  his 
enemies  under  his  feet.  26  The  last 
enemy  that  shall  be  abolished  is 
death.  27  For,  He  put  all  things 
in  subjection  under  his  feet.  But 
when  he  saith,  All  things  are  put 
in  subjection,  it  is  evident  that  he 
is  excepted  who  did  subject  all 
things  unto  him.  28  And  when  all 
things  have  been  subjected  unto 
him,  then  shall  the  Son  also  him- 
self be  subjected  to  him  that  did 
subject  all  things  unto  him,  that 
God  may  be  all  in  all. 

29  Else  what  shall  they  do  which 
are  baptized  for  the  dead?  If  the 
dead  are  not  raised  at  all,  why  then 
are  they  baptized  for  them?  30  why 
do  we  also  stand  in  jeopardy  every 
hour?  31  I  protest  by  that  glory- 
ing in  you,  brethren,  which  I  have 
in  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord,  I  die 
daily.  32  If  after  the  manner  of 
men  I  fought  with  beasts  at  Ephe- 
sus, what  doth  it  profit  me?  If  the 
dead  are  not  raised,  let  us  eat  and 
drink,  for  to-morrow  we  die.  33 
Be  not  deceived:  Evil  company 
doth  corrupt  good  manners.  34 
Awake  up  righteously,  and  sin  not ; 
for  some  have  no  knowledge  of 
God :  I  speak  this  to  move  you  to 
shame.

16  For  if  the  dead  are  not  raised, 
neither  hath  Christ  been  raised:  17 
and  if  Christ  hath  not  been  raised, 
your  faith  is  vain ;  ye  are  yet  in 
your  sins.  18  Then  they  also  that

in  subjection  under  his  feet.  But 
when  he  saith,  AH  things  are  put 
in  subjection,  it  is  evident  that  he

self be  subjected  to  him  that  did 
subject  all  things  unto  him,  that 
God  may  be  all  in  all. 

29  Else  what  shall  they  do  that 
are  baptized  for  the  dead?  If  the 
dead  are  not  raised  at  all,  why 
then  are  they  baptized  for  them? 
30  why  do  we  also  stand  in  jeop- 
ardy every  hour?  31  I  protest  by 
that  glorying  in  you,  brethren, 
which  I  have  in  Christ  Jesus  our 
Lord,  I  die  daily.  32  If  after  the 
manner  of  men  I  fought  with

soberness  righteously,  and  sin  not ; 
for  some  have  no  knowledge  of

35  But  some  one  will  say,  How 


16  For  if  the  dead  rise  not  again,  neither 
is  Christ  risen  again. 

17  And  if  Christ  be  not  risen  again, 
your  faith  is  vain,  for  you  are  yet  in 
your  sins. 

18  Then  they  also  that  are  fallen  asleep 
in  Christ,  are  perished. 

19  If  in  this  life  only  we  have  hope  in

20  But  now  Christ  is  risen  from  the 
dead,  the  firstfruits  of  them  that  sleep : 

21  For  by  a  man  came  death,  and  by 
a  man  the  resurrection  of  the  dead. 

22  And  as  in  Adam  all  die,  so  also  in 
Christ  all  shall  be  made  alive. 

23  But  every  one  in  his  own  order :  the 
firstfruits  Christ,  then  they  that  are  of 
Christ,  who  have  believed  in  his  coming. 

24  Afterwards  the  end,  when  he  shall 
have  delivered  up  the  kingdom  to  God 
and  the  Father,  when  he  shall  have 
brought  to  nought  all  principality,  and 
power,  and  virtue. 

25  For  he  must  reign,  until  he  hath  put 
all  his  enemies  under  his  feet. 

26  And  the  enemy  death  shall  be  de- 
stroyed last:  For  he  hath  put  all  things 
under  his  feet.    And  whereas  he  saith, 

27  All  things  are  put  under  him;  un- 
doubtedly, he  is  excepted,  who  put  all 
things  under  him. 

28  And  when  all  things  shall  be  subdued 
unto  him,  then  the  Son  also  himself  shall 
be  subject  unto  him  that  put  all  things 
under  him,  that  God  may  be  all  in  all. 

29  Otherwise  what  shall  they  do  that 
are  baptized  for  the  dead,  if  the  dead  rise 
not  again  at  all?  why  are  they  then  bap- 
tized for  them? 

30  Why  also  are  we  in  danger  every 
hour? 

31  I  die  daily,  I  protest  by  your  glory, 
brethren,  which  I  have  in  Christ  Jesus 
our  Lord. 

32  If  (according  to  man)  I  fought  with 
beasts  at  Ephesus,  what  doth  it  profit  me, 
if  the  dead  rise  not  again?  Let  us  eat 
and  drink,  for  to  morrow  we  shall  die. 

Z2,  Be  not  seduced:  Evil  communica-

34  Awake,  be  just,  and  sin  not.  For 
some  have  not  the  knowledge  of  God,  I 
speak  it  to  your  shame. 

35  But  some  man  will  say :  How  do  the 
dead  rise  again?  or  with  what  manner  of 
body  shall  they  come? 

36  Senseless  man,  that  which  thou  sow- 
est  is  not  quickened,  except  it  die  first. 

Z7  And  that  which  thou  sowest,  thou

REVISED 


2,7  And  that  which  thou  sowest,  thou 
sowest  not  that  body  that  shall  be,  but 
bare  grain,  it  may  chance  of  wheat,  or 
of  some  other  grain: 

38  But  God  giveth  it  a  body  as  it  hath 
pleased  him,  and  to  every  seed  his  own 
body. 

39  All  flesh  is  not  the  same  flesh:  but 
there  is  one  kind  of  flesh  of  men,  an- 
other flesh  of  beasts,  another  of  fishes, 
and  another  of  birds. 

40  There  are  also  celestial  bodies,  and 
bodies  terrestrial :  but  the  glory  of  the 
celestial  is  one,  and  the  glory  of  the  ter- 
restrial is  another. 

41  There  is  one  glory  of  the  sun,  and 
another  glory  of  the  moon,  and  another 
glory  of  the  stars:  for  one  star  differeth 
from  another  star  in  glory. 

42  So  also  is  the  resurrection  of  the 
dead.  It  is  sown  in  corruption;  it  is 
raised    in    incorruption : 

43  It  is  sown  in  dishonour;  it  is  raised 
in  glory:  it  is  sown  in  weakness;  it  is 
raised  in  power: 

44  It  is  sown  a  natural  body ;  it  is 
raised  a  spiritual  body.  There  is  a  nat- 
ural body,  and  there  is  a  spiritual  body. 

45  And  so  it  is  written.  The  first  man 
Adam  was  made  a  living  soul ;  the  last 
Adam  was  made  a  quickening  spirit. 

46  Howbeit  that  was  not  first  which  is 
spiritual,  but  that  which  is  natural ;  and 
afterward  that  which  is  spiritual. 

47  The  first  man  is  of  the  earth,  earthy : 
the  second  man  is  the  Lord  from  heaven. 

48  As  is  the  earthy,  such  are  they  also 
that  are  earthy:  and  as  is  the  heavenly, 
such  are  they  also  that  are  heavenly. 

49  And  as  we  have  borne  the  image 
of  the  earthy,  we  shall  also  bear  the 
image  of  the  heavenly. 

50  Now  this  I  say,  brethren,  that  flesh 
and  blood  cannot  inherit  the  kingdom  of 
God;  neither  doth  corruption  inherit  in- 
corruption. 

51  Behold,  I  shew  you  a  mystery;  We 
shall  not  all  sleep,  but  we  shall  all  be 
changed, 

52  In  a  moment,  in  the  twinkling  of 
an  eye,  at  the  last  trump :  for  the  trumpet 
shall  sound,  and  the  dead  shall  be  raised 
incorruptible,  and  we  shall  be  changed. 

53  For  this  corruptible  must  put  on 
incorruption,  and  this  mortal  must  put  on 
immortality. 

54  So  when  this  corruptible  shall  have 
put  on  incorruption,  and  this  mortal  shall 
have  put   on   immortality,   then   shall   be 


are  the  dead  raised?  and  with  what 
manner  of  body  do  they  come? 
36  Thou  foolish  one,  that  which 
thou  thyself  sowest  is  not  quick- 
ened, except  it  die :  37  and  that 
which  thou  sowest,  thou  sowest  not 
the  body  that  shall  be,  but  a  bare 
grain,  it  may  chance  of  wheat,  or 
of  some  other  kind;  38  but  God 
giveth  it  a  body  even  as  it  pleased 
him,  and  to  each  seed  a  body  of  its 
own.  39  All  flesh  is  not  the  same 
flesh :  but  there  is  one  Hesh  of  men, 
and  another  flesh  of  beasts,  and  an- 
other flesh  of  birds,  and  another  of 
fishes.  40  There  are  also  celestial 
bodies,  and  bodies  terrestrial :  but 
the  glory  of  the  celestial  is  one, 
and  the  glory  of  the  terrestrial  is 
another.  41  There  is  one  glory  of 
the  sun,  and  another  glory  of  the 
moon,  and  another  glory  of  the 
stars ;  for  one  star  differeth  from 
another  star  in  glory.  42  So  also 
is  the  resurrection  of  the  dead.  It 
is  sown  in  corruption;  it  is  raised 
in  incorruption :  43  it  is  sown  fn 
dishonour;  it  is  raised  in  glory: 
it  is  sown  in  weakness ;  it  is  raised 
in  power :  44  it  is  sown  a  natural 
body ;  it  is  raised  a  spiritual  body. 
If  there  is  a  natural  body,  there  is 
also  a  spiritual  body.  45  So  also 
it  is  written.  The  first  man  Adam 
became  a  living  soul.  The  last 
Adam    became    a    life-giving    spirit. 

46  Howbeit  that  is  not  first  which 
is  spiritual,  but  that  which  is  nat- 
ural ;   then   that    which    is    spiritual. 

47  The  first  man  is  of  the  earth, 
earthy:  the  second  man  is  of 
heaven.  48  As  is  the  earthy,  such 
are  they  also  that  are  earthy :  and 
as  is  the  heavenly,  such  are  they 
also  that  are  heavenly,  49  And  as 
we  have  borne  the  image  of  the 
earthy,  we  shall  also  bear  the  im- 
age of  the  heavenly. 

50  Now  this  I  say,  brethren,  that 
flesh  and  blood  cannot  inherit  the 
kingdom  of  God ;  neither  doth  cor- 
ruption inherit  incorruption.  51 
Behold,  I  tell  you  a  mystery :  We 
shall  not  all  sleep,  but  we  shall  all 
be  changed,  52  in  a  moment,  in  the 
twinkling  of  an  eye,  at  the  last 
trump  :  for  the  trumpet  shall  sound, 
and  the  dead  shall  be  raised  incor- 
ruptible, and  we  shall  be  changed.

are  the  dead  raised?  and  with  what 
manner  of  body  do  they  come?  36 
Thou  foolish  one,  that  which  thou 
thyself  sowest  is  not  quickened  ex- 
cept it  die:  Zl  and  that  which  thou 
sowest,  thou  sowest  not  the  body 
that  shall  be,  but  a  bare  grain,  it 
may  chance  of  wheat,  or  of  some 
other  kind;  38  but  God  giveth  it  a 
body  even  as  it  pleased  him,  and  to 
each  seed  a  body  of  its  own.  39 
All  flesh  is  not  the  same  flesh :  but 
there  is  one  iiesh  of  men,  and  an- 
other flesh  of  beasts,  and  another 
flesh  of  birds,  and  another  of  fishes. 
40  There  are  also  celestial  bodies, 
and  bodies  terrestrial :  but  the  glory 
of  the  celestial  is  one,  and  the  glory 
of  the  terrestrial  is  another.  41 
There  is  one  glory  of  the  sun,  and 
another  glory  of  the  moon,  and  an- 
other glory  of  the  stars;  for  one 
star  differeth  from  another  star  in 
glory.  42  So  also  is  the  resurrec- 
tion of  the  dead.  It  is  sown  in 
corruption ;  it  is  raised  in  incor- 
ruption :  43  it  is  sown  in  dishonor ; 
it  is  raised  in  glory :  it  is  sown  in 
weakness ;  it  is  raised  in  power : 
44  it  is  sown  a  natural  body;  it 
is  raised  a  spiritual  body.  If  there 
is  a  natural  body,  there  is  also  a 
spiritual  body.  45  So  also  it  is 
written.  The  first  man  Adam  be- 
came a  living  soul.  The  last  Adam 
became  a  life-giving'  spirit.  46 
Howbeit  that  is  not  first  which  is 
spiritual,  but  that  which  is  natural; 
then  that  which  is  spiritual.  47 
The  first  man  is  of  the  earth, 
earthy :  the  second  man  is  of 
heaven.  48  As  is  the  earthy,  such 
are  they  also  that  are  earthy :  and 
as  is  the  heavenly,  such  are  they 
also  that  are  heavenly.  49  And  as 
we  have  borjie  the  image  of  the 
earthy,  we  shall  also  bear  the  image 
of  the  heavenly. 

50  Now  this  I  say,  brethren,  that 
flesh  and  blood  cannot  inherit  the 
kingdom  of  God;  neither  doth  cor- 
ruption inherit  incorruption.  51 
Behold,  I  tell  you  a  mystery:  We 
all  shall  not  sleep,  but  we  shall  all 
be  changed,  52  in  a  moment,  in  the 
twinkling  of  an  eye,  at  the  last 
trump :  for  the  trumpet  shall  sound, 
and  the  dead  shall  be  raised  incor- 
ruptible, and  we  shall  be  changed. 


sowest  not  the  body  that  shall  be ;  but 
bare  grain,  as  of  wheat,  or  of  some  of  the 
rest. 

38  But  God  giveth  it  a  body  as  he  will : 
and  to  every  seed  its  proper  body. 

39  All  flesh  is  not  the  same  flesh:  but 
one  is  the  flesh  of  men,  another  of  beasts, 
another  of  birds,  another  of  fishes. 

40  And  there  are  bodies  celestial,  and 
bodies  terrestrial :  but,  one  is  the  glory  of 
the  celestial,  and  another  of  the  terres- 
trial. 

41  One  is  the  glory  of  the  sun,  another 
the  glory  of  the  moon,  and  another  the 
glory  of  the  stars.  For  star  differeth 
from  star  in  glory. 

42  So  also  is  the  resurrection  of  the 
dead.  It  is  sown  in  corruption,  it  shall 
rise  in  incorruption. 

43  It  is  sown  in  dishonour,  it  shall  rise 
in  glory.  It  is  sown  in  weakness,  it  shall 
rise  in  power, 

44  It  is  sown  a  natural  body,  it  shall 
rise  a  spiritual  body.  If  there  be  a  nat- 
ural body,  there  is  also  a  spiritual  body, 
as  it  is  written: 

45  The  first  man  Adam  was  made  into  a 
living  soul;  the  last  Adam  into  a  quicken- 
ing spirit. 

46  Yet  that  was  not  first  which  is  spirit- 
ual, but  that  which  is  natural;  afterwards 
that  which  is  spiritual. 

47  The  first  man  was  of  the  earth, 
earthly :  the  second  man,  from  heaven, 
heavenly. 

48  Such  as  is  the  earthly,  such  also  are 
the  earthly:  and  such  as  is  the  heavenly, 
such  also  are  they  that  are  heavenly. 

49  Therefore  as  we  have  borne  the 
image  of  the  earthly,  let  us  bear  also  the 
image  of  the  heavenly, 

50  Now  this  I  say,  brethren,  that  flesh 
and  blood  cannot  possess  the  kingdom  of 
God :  neither  shall  corruption  possess  in- 
corruption. 

51  Behold,  I  tell  you  a  mystery.  We 
shall  all  indeed  rise  again:  but  we  shall 
not  all  be  changed. 

52  In  a  moment,  in  the  twinkling  of  an 
eye,  at  the  last  trumpet:  for  the  trumpet 
shall  sound,  and  the  dead  shall  rise  again 
incorruptible :  and  we  shall  be  changed. 

53  For  this  corruptible  must  put  on  in- 
corruption;  and  this  mortal  must  put  on 
immortality. 

54  And  when  this  mortal  hath  put  on 
immortality,  then  shall  come  to  pass  the 
saying  that  is  written :  Death  is  swal- 
lowed up  in  victory.

brought  to  pass  the  saying  that  is  written, 
Death  is  swallowed  up  in  victory. 

55  O  death,  where  is  thy  sting?  O 
grave,   where   is   thy   victory? 

56  The  sting  of  death  is  sin;  and  the 
strength  of  sin  is  the  law. 

57  But  thanks  be  to  God,  which  giveth 
us  the  victory  through  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ. 

58  Therefore,  my  beloved  brethren,  be 
ye  stedfast,  unmoveable,  always  abound- 
ing in  the  work  of  the  Lord,  forasmuch 
as  ye  know  that  your  labour  is  not  in 
vain  in  the  Lord. 


CHAPTER  16. 

NOW  concerning  the  collection  for  the 
saints,  as  I  have  given  order  to  the 
churches  of  Galatia,  even  so  do  ye. 

2  Upon  the  first  day  of  the  week  let 
every  one  of  you  lay  by  him  in  store,  as 
Cod  hath  prospered  him,  that  there  be 
no  gatherings  when  I  come. 

3  And  when  I  come,  whomsoever  ye 
shall  approve  by  your  letters,  them  will  I 
send  to  bring  your  liberality  unto  Jeru- 
salem. 

4  And  if  it  be  meet  that  I  go  also,  they 
shall  go  with  me. 

5  Now  I  will  come  unto  you,  when  I 
shall  pass  through  Macedonia:  for  I  do 
pass  through  Macedonia. 

6  And  it  may  be  that  I  will  abide,  yea, 
and  winter  with  you,  that  ye  may  bring 
me  on  my  journey  whithersoever  I  go. 

7  For  I  will  not  see  you  now  by  the 
way;  but  I  trust  to  tarry  a  while  with 
you,  if  the  Lord  permit. 

8  But  I  will  tarry  at  Ephesus  until 
Pentecost. 

9  For  a  great  door  and  eflfectual  is 
opened  unto  me,  and  there  are  many  ad- 
versaries. 

10  Now  if  Timotheus  come,  see  that 
he  may  be  with  you  without  fear:  for 
he  worketh  the  work  of  the  Lord,  as  I 
also  do. 

11  Let  no  man  therefore  despise  him: 
but  conduct  him  forth  in  peace,  that  he 
may  come  unto  me :  for  I  look  for  him 
with  the  brethren, 

12  As  touching  our  brother  Apollos,  I 
greatly  desired  him  to  come  unto  you  with 
the  brethren:  but  his  will  was  not  at  all 


53  For  this  corruptible  must  put 
on  incorruption,  and  this  mortal 
must  put  on  immortality.  54  But 
when  this  corruptible  shall  have  put 
on  incorruption,  and  this  mortal 
shall  have  put  on  immortality,  then 
shall  come  to  pass  the  saying  that 
is  written,  Death  is  swallowed  up 
in  victory.  55  O  death,  where  is 
thy  victory?  O  death,  where  is  thy 
sting?  56  The  sting  of  death  is 
sin ;  and  the  power  of  sin  is  the 
law :  57  but  thanks  be  to  God,  which 
giveth  us  the  victory  through  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ.  58  Wherefore, 
my  beloved  brethren,  be  ye  sted- 
fast, unmoveable,  always  abound- 
ing in  the  work  of  the  Lord,  foras- 
much as  ye  know  that  your  labour 
is  not  vain  in  the  Lord.

I  arrive,  whomsoever  ye  shall  ap- 
prove by  letters,  them  will  I  send 
to  carry  your  bounty  unto  Jerusa- 
lem :  4  and  if  it  be  meet  for  me 
to  go  also,  they  shall  go  with  me. 
5  But  I  will  come  unto  you,  when 
I  shall  have  passed  through  Mace- 
donia ;  for  I  do  pass  through  Mace- 
donia ;  6  but  with  you  it  may  be 
that  I  shall  abide,  or  even  winter, 
that  ye  may  set  me  forward  on 
my  journey  whithersoever  I  go. 
7  For  I  do  not  wish  to  see  you  now 
by  the  way;  for  I  hope  to  tarry  a 
while  with  you,  if  the  Lord  per- 
mit. 8  But  I  will  tarry  at  Ephesus 
until  Pentecost;  9  for  a  great  door 
and  eflfectual  is  opened  unto  me, 
and   there  are  many  adversaries. 

10  Now  if  Timothy  come,  see 
that  he  be  with  you  without  fear; 
for  he  worketh  the  work  of  the 
Lord,  as  I  also  do:  11  let  no  man 
therefore  despise  him.  But  set  him 
forward  on  his  journey  in  peace, 
that  he  may  come  unto  me:  for  I 
expect  him  with  the  brethren. 
12  But  as  touching  Apollos  the 
brother,  I  besought  him  much  to 
come  unto  you  with  the  brethren :

when  this  corruptible  shall  have  put

4  and  if  it  be  meet  for  me  to  go 
also,  they  shall  go  with  me.  5  But 
I  will  come  unto  you,  when  I  shall 
have  passed  through  Macedonia ; 
for  I  pass  through  Macedonia ;  6 
but  with  you  it  may  be  that  I  shall 
abide,  or  even  winter,  that  ye  may

he  be  with  you  without  fear ;  for 
he  worketh  the  work  of  the  Lord, 
as  I  also  do:  II  let  no  man  there-

he  may  come  unto  me :  for  I  expect 
him  with  the  brethren.  12  But 
as  touching  Apollos  the  brother,  I 
besought  him  much  to  come  unto 
you  with  the  brethren:  and  it  was

the  power  of  sin  is  the  law. 

57  But  thanks  be  to  God,  who  hath 
given  us  the  victory  through  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ. 

58  Therefore,  my  beloved  brethren,  be 
ye  steadfast  and  unmoveable ;  always 
abounding  in  the  work  of  the  Lord,  know-

CHAPTER  16. 

NOW  concerning  the  collections  that 
are  made  for  the  saints,  as  I  have 
given  order  to  the  churches  of  Galatia,  so 
do  ye  also. 

2  On  the  first  day  of  the  week  let  every 
one  of  you  put  apart  vvith  himself,  laying 
up  what  it  shall  well  please  him;  thai 
when  I  come,  the  collections  be  not  then 
to  be  made. 

3  And  when  I  shall  be  with  you,  whom- 
soever you  shall  approve  by  letters,  them 
will  I  send  to  carry  your  grace  to  Jeru- 
salem. 

4  And  if  it  be  meet  that  I  also  go,  they 
shall  go  with  me. 

5  Now  I  will  come  to  you,  when  I  shall 
have  passed  through  Macedonia.  For  I 
shall  pass  through  Macedonia. 

6  And  with  you  perhaps  I  shall  abide, 
or  even  spend  the  winter :  that  you  may 
bring  me  on  my  way  whithersoever  I 
shall  go. 

7  For  I  will  not  see  you  now  by  the 
way,  for  I  trust  that  I  shall  abide  with 
you   some  time,  if  the  Lord  permit. 

8  But  I  will  tarry  at  Ephesus  until

firstfruits  of  Achaia,  and  that  they  have 
addicted  themselves  to  the  ministry  of  the 
saints,) 

16  That  ye  submit  yourselves  unto  such, 
and  to  every  one  that  helpeth  with  us,

17  I  am  glad  of  the  coming  of  Steph-

that  which  was  lacking  on  your  part  they 
have  supplied. 

18  For  they  have  refreshed  my  spirit 
and  your's:  therefore  acknowledge  ye 
them  that  are  such. 

19  The  churches  of  Asia  salute  you. 
Aquila  and  Priscilla  salute  you  much  in

and  that  they  have  set  themselves

4  Who  comforteth  us  in  all  our  trib- 
ulation, that  we  may  be  able  to  comfort 
them  which  are  in  any  trouble,  by  the 
comfort  wherewith  we  ourselves  are  com- 
forted of  God. 

5  For  as  the  sufferings  of  Christ  abound 
in  us,  so  our  consolation  also  aboundeth 
by  Christ. 

6  And  whether  we  be  afflicted,  it  is  for 
your  consolation  and  salvation,  which  is 
effectual  in  the  enduring  of  the  same  suf- 
ferings which  we  also  suffer:  or  whether 
vve  be  comforted,  it  is  for  your  consola- 
tion and  salvation. 

7  And  our  hope  of  you  is  stedfast, 
knowing,  that  as  ye  are  partakers  of  the 
sufferings,  so  shall  ye  be  also  of  the  con- 
solation. 

8  For  we  would  not,  brethren,  have 
you  ignorant  of  our  trouble  which  came 
to  us  in  Asia,  that  we  were  pressed 
out  of  measure,  above  strength,  insomuch 
that  we  despaired  even  of  life: 

9  But  we  had  the  sentence  of  death  in 
ourselves,  that  we  should  not  trust  in 
ourselves,  but  in  God  which  raisetK  the 
dead: 

10  Who  delivered  us  from  so  great  a 
death,  and  doth  deliver:  in  whom  we 
trust  that  he  will  yet  deliver  us; 

11  Ye  also  helping  together  by  prayer 
for  us,  that  for  the  gift  bestowed  upon 
us  by  the  means  of  many  persons 
thanks  may  be  given  by  many  on  our 
behalf. 

12  For  our  rejoicing  is  this,  the  testi- 
mony of  our  conscience,  that  in  simplicity 
and  godly  sincerity,  not  with  fleshly  wis- 
dom, but  by  the  grace  of  God,  we  have 
had  our  conversation  in  the  world,  and 
more  abundantly  to  you-ward. 

13  For  we  write  none  other  things  unto 
you,  than  what  ye  read  or  acknowledge; 
and  I  trust  ye  shall  acknowledge  even 
to  the  end ; 

14  As  also  ye  have  acknowledged  us 
in  part,  that  we  are  your  rejoicing,  even 
as  ye  also  are  our's  in  the  day  of  the 
Lord  Jesus. 

15  And  in  this  confidence  I  was  minded 
to  come  unto  you  before,  that  ye  might 
have  a  second  benefit; 

16  And  to  pass  by  you  into  Macedonia, 
and  to  come  again  out  of  Macedonia  unto 
you,  and  of  you  to  be  brought  on  my  way 
toward  Judaea. 

17  When  I  therefore  was  thus  minded, 
did  I  use  lightness?  or  the  things  that  I 
purpose,   do   I  purpose  according  to  the 


able  to  comfort  them  that  are  in 
any  affliction,  through  the  comfort 
wherewith  we  ourselves  are  com- 
forted of  God.  5  For  as  the  suffer- 
ings of  Christ  abound  unto  us,  even 
so  our  comfort  also  aboundeth 
through  Christ.  6  But  whether 
we  be  afflicted,  it  is  for  your  com- 
fort and  salvation ;  or  whether  we 
be  comforted,  it  is  for  your  com- 
fort, which  worketh  in  the  patient 
enduring  of  the  same  sufferings 
which  we  also  suffer:  7  and  our 
hope  for  you  is  stedfast;  knowing 
that,  as  ye  are  partakers  of  the 
sufferings,  so  also  are  ye  of  the 
comfort.  8  For  we  would  not  have 
you  ignorant,  brethren,  concerning 
our  affliction  which  befell  us  in 
Asia,  that  we  were  weighed  down 
exceedingly,  beyond  our  power,  in- 
somuch that  we  despaired  even  of 
life:  9  yea,  we  ourselves  have  had 
the  answer  of  death  within  our- 
selves, that  we  should  not  trust 
in  ourselves,  but  \n  God  which 
raiseth  the  dead :  10  who  deliv- 
ered us  out  of  so  great  a  death,  and 
will  deliver:  on  whom  we  have 
set  our  hope  that  he  will  also  still 
deliver  us;  11  ye  also  helping  to- 
gether on  our  behalf  by  your  sup- 
plication;  that,  for  the  gift  be- 
stowed upon  us  by  means  of  many, 
thanks  may  be  given  by  many  per- 
sons on  our  behalf. 

12  For  our  glorying  is  this,  the 
testimony  of  our  conscience,  that 
in  holiness  and  sincerity  of  God, 
not  in  fleshly  wisdom  but  in  the 
grace  of  God,  we  behaved  ourselves 
in  the  world,  and  more  abundantly 
to  you-ward.  13  For  we  write  none 
other  things  unto  you,  than  what 
ye  read  or  even  acknowledge,  and 
I  hope  ye  will  acknowledge  unto 
the  end :  14  as  also  ye  did  acknowl- 
edge us  in  part,  that  we  are  your 
glorying,  even  as  ye  also  are  ours, 
in  the  day  of  our  Lord  Jesus. 

15  And  in  this  confidence  I  was 
minded  to  come  before  unto  you, 
that  ye  might  have  a  second  bene- 
fit; 16  and  by  you  to  pass  into 
Macedonia,  and  again  from  Mace- 
donia to  come  unto  you,  and  of  you 
to  be  set  forward  on  my  journey 
unto  Judaea.  17  When  I  therefore 
was  thus  minded,  did  I  shew  fickle-

all  our  affliction,  that  we  may  be 
able  to  comfort  them  that  are  in 
any  affliction,  through  the  comfort 
wherewith  we  ourselves  are  com- 
forted of  God.  5  For  as  the  suf- 
ferings of  Christ  abound  unto  us, 
even  so  our  comfort  also  aboundeth 
through  Christ.  6  But  whether 
we  are  afflicted,  it  is  for  your  com- 
fort and  salvation ;  or  whether  we 
are  comforted,  it  is  for  your  com- 
fort, which  worketh  in  the  patient 
enduring  of  the  same  sufferings 
which  we  also  suffer :  7  and  our 
hope  for  you  is  stedfast;  knowing 
that,  as  ye  are  partakers  of  the 
sufferings,  so  also  are  ye  of  the 
comfort.  8  For  we  would  not  have 
you  ignorant,  brethren,  concerning 
our  affliction  which  befell  us  in 
Asia,  that  we  were  weighed  down 
exceedingly,  beyond  our  power,  in- 
somuch that  we  despaired  even  of

the  sentence  of  death  within  our- 
selves, that  we  should  not  trust  in 
ourselves,  but  in  God  who  raiseth 
the  dead :  10  who  delivered  us  out 
of  so  great  a  death,  and  will  de- 
liver: on  whom  we  have  set  our 
hope  that  he  will  also  still  deliver 
us;  II  ye  also  helping  together  on 
our  behalf  by  your  supplication ; 
that,  for  the  gift  bestowed  upon  us 
by  means  of  many,  thanks  may  be 
given  by  many  persons  on  our  be- 
half. 

12  For  our  glorying  is  this,  the 
testimony  of  our  conscience,  that 
in  holiness  and  sincerity  of  God, 
not  in  fleshly  wisdom  but  in  the 
grace  of  God,  we  behaved  ourselves

other  things  unto  you,  than  what 
ye  read  or  even  acknowledge,  and 
I  hope  ye  will  acknowledge  unto 
the  end :  14  as  also  ye  did  ac- 
knowledge us  in  part,  that  we  are 
your  glorying,  even  as  ye  also  are 
ours,  in  the  day  of  our  Lord  Jesus. 

15  And  in  this  confidence  I  was 
minded  to  come  first  unto  you, 
that  ye  might  have  a  second  bene- 
fit ;  16  and  by  you  to  pass  into 
Macedonia,  and  again  from  Mace- 
donia to  come  unto  you,  and  of 
you  to  be  set  forward  on  my

4  Who  comforteth  us  in  all  our  tribula- 
tion ;  that  we  also  may  be  able  to  comfort 
them  who  are  in  all  distress,  by  the  ex- 
hortation wherewith  we  also  are  exhorted 
by  God. 

5  For  as  the  sufferings  of  Christ  abound 
in  us :  so  also  by  Christ  doth  our  comfort 
abound. 

6  Now  whether  we  be  in  tribulation,  it 
is  for  your  exhortation  and  salvation:  or 
whether  we  be  comforted,  it  is  for  your 
consolation :  or  whether  we  be  exhorted, 
it  is  for  your  exhortation  and  salvation, 
which  worketh  the  enduring  of  the  same 
sufferings  which  we  also  suffer. 

7  That  our  hope  for  you  may  be  stead- 
fast :  knowing  that  as  you  are  partakers 
of  the  sufferings,  so  shall  you  be  also  of 
the  consolation. 

8  For  we  would  not  have  you  ignorant, 
brethren,  of  our  tribulation,  which  came 
to  us  in  Asia,  that  we  were  pressed  out  of 
measure  above  our  strength,  so  that  we 
were  weary  even  of  life. 

9  But  we  had  in  ourselves  the  answer  of 
death,  that  we  should  not  trust  in  our- 
selves, but  in  God  who  raiseth  the  dead. 

10  Who  hath  delivered  and  doth  deliver 
us  out  of  so  great  dangers:  in  whom  we 
trust  that  he  will  yet  also  deliver  us. 

11  You  helping  withal* in  prayer  for  us: 
that  for  this  gift  obtained  for  us,  by  the 
rneans  of  many  persons,  thanks  may  be 
given  by  many  in  our  behalf. 

12  For  our  glory  is  this,  the  testimony 
of  our  conscience,  that  in  simplicity  of 
heart  and  sincerity  of  God,  and  not  in 
carnal  wisdom,  but  in  the  grace  of  God, 
we  have  conversed  in  this  world :  and 
more  abundantly  towards  you. 

13  For  we  write  no  other  things  to  you 
than  what  you  have  read  and  known. 
And  I  hope  that  you  shall  know  unto  the 
end: 

14  As  also  you  have  known  us  in  part, 
that  we  are  your  glory,  as  you  also  are 
ours,  in  the  day  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

15  And  in  this  confidence  I  had  a  mind 
to  come  to  you  before,  that  you  might 
have  a  second  grace: 

16  And  to  pass  by  you  into  Macedonia, 
and  again  from  Macedonia  to  come  to 
you,  and  by  you  to  be  brought  on  my  way 
towards  Judea. 

17  Whereas  then  I  was  thus  minded,  did 
I  use  lightness?  Or,  the  things  that  I 
purpose,  do  I  purpose  according  to  the 
flesh,  that  there  should  be  with  me,  It  is,

flesh,  that  with  me  there  should  be  yea 
yea,  and  nay  nay? 

18  But  as  God  is  true,  our  word  toward 
you  was  not  yea  and  nay. 

19  For  the  Son  of  God,  Jesus  Christ, 
who  was  preached  among  you  by  us,  even 
by  me  and  Silvanus  and  Timotheus,  was 
not  yea  and  nay,  but  in  him  was  yea. 

20  For  all  the  promises  of  God  in  him 
are  yea,  and  in  him  Amen,  unto  the  glory 
of  God  by  us. 

21  Now  he  which  stablisheth  us  with 
you  in  Christ,  and  hath  anointed  us,  is 
God; 

22  Who  hath  also  sealed  us,  and  given 
the  earnest  of  the  Spirit  in  our  hearts. 

23  Moreover  I  call  God  for  a  record 
upon  my  soul,  that  to  spare  you  I  came 
not  as  yet  unto  Corinth. 

24  Not  for  that  we  have  dominion  over 
your  faith,  but  are  helpers  of  your  joy: 
for  by  faith  ye  stand. 


CHAPTER  2. 

BUT    I    determined   this   with    myself, 
that  I  would  •not  come  again  to  you 
in  heaviness. 

2  For  if  I  make  you  sorry,  who  is  he 
then  that  maketh  me  glad,  but  the  same 
which  is  made  sorry  by  me? 

3  And  I  wrote  this  same  unto  you,  lest, 
when  I  came,  I  should  have  sorrow  from 
them  of  whom  I  ought  to  rejoice;  having 
confidence  in  you  all,  that  my  joy  is  the 
joy  of  you  all. 

4  For  out  of  much  affliction  and  anguish 
of  heart  I  wrote  unto  you  with  many 
tears ;  not  that  ye  should  be  grieved,  but 
that  ye  might  know  the  love  which  I 
have  more  abundantly  unto  you. 

5  But  if  any  have  caused  grief,  he  hath 
not  grieved  me,  but  in  part :  that  I  may 
not  overcharge  ycm  all. 

6  Sufficient  to  such  a  man  is  this  punish- 
ment, which  was  inflicted  of  many. 

7  So  that  contrariwise  ye  ought  rather 
to  forgive  him,  and  comfort  him,  lest  per- 
haps such  a  one  should  be  swallowed  up 
with  overmuch  sorrow. 

8  Wherefore  I  beseech  you  that  ye 
would  confirm  your  love  toward  him. 

9  For  to  this  end  also  did  I  write,  that 
I  might  know  the  proof  of  you,  whether 
ye  be  obedient  in  all  things. 


ness?  or  the  things  that  I  purpose, 
do  I  purpose  according  to  the 
flesh,  that  with  me  there  should  be 
the  yea  yea  and  the  nay  nay?  18 
But  as  God  is  faithful,  our  word 
toward  you  is  not  yea  and  nay. 
19  For  the  Son  of  God,  Jesus 
Christ,  who  was  preached  among 
you  by  us,  even  by  me  and  Silvanus 
and  Timothy,  was  not  yea  and  nay, 
but  in  him  is  yea.  20  For  how  many 
soever  be  the  promises  of  God,  in 
him  is  the  yea :  wherefore  also 
through  him  is  the  Amen,  unto  the 
glory  of  God  through  us.  21  Now 
he  that  stablisheth  us  with  you  in 
Christ,  and  anointed  us,  is  God; 
22  who  also  sealed  us,  and  gave 
us  the  earnest  of  the  Spirit  in  our 
hearts. 

23  But  I  call  God  for  a  wit- 
ness upon  my  soul,  that  to  spare 
you  I  forbare  to  come  unto  Cor- 
inth. 24  Not  that  we  have  lord- 
ship over  your  faith,  but  are  help- 
ers of  your  joy:  for  by  faith  ye 
stand. 


TI>UT  I  determined  this  for  my- 
2J3  self,  that  I  would  not  come 
again  to  you  with  sorrow.  2  For 
if  I  make  you  sorry,  who  then  is 
he  that  maketh  me  glad,  but  he  that 
is  made  sorry  by  me?  3  And  I 
wrote  this  very  thing,  lest,  when 
I  came,  I  should  have  sorrow  from 
them  of  whom  I  ought  to  rejoice; 
having  confidence  in  you  all,  that 
my  joy  is  the  joy  of  you  all.  4  For 
out  of  much  affliction  and  anguish 
of  heart  I  wrote  unto  you  with 
many  tears;  not  that  ye  should  be 
made  sorry,  but  that  ye  might 
know  the  love  which  I  have  more 
abundantly  unto  you. 

5  But  if  any  hath  caused  sorrow, 
he  hath  caused  sorrow,  not  to  me, 
but  in  part  (that  I  press  not  too 
heavily)  to  you  all.  6  Sufficient  to 
such  a  one  is  this  punishment 
which  was  inflicted  by  the  many; 
7  so  that  contrariwise  ye  should 
rather  forgive  him  and  comfort 
him,  lest  by  any  means  such  a  one 
should  be  swallowed  up  with  his 
overmuch  sorrow.  8  Wherefore  I 
beseech  you  to  confirm  your  love 
toward  him.    9  For  to  this  end  also

therefore  was  thus  minded,  did  I 
show  fickleness?  or  the  things  that 
I  purpose,  do  I  purpose  according 
to  the  flesh,  that  with  me  there 
should  be  the  yea  yea  and  the  nay 
nay?  18  But  as  God  is  faithful, 
our  word  toward  you  is  not  yea 
and  nay.  19  For  the  Son  of  God, 
Jesus  Christ,  who  was  preached 
among  you  by  us,  even  by  me  and 
Silvanus  and  Timothy,  was  not 
yea  and  nay,  but  in  him  is  yea. 
20  For  how  many  soever  be  the 
promises  of  God,  in  him  is  the 
yea:  wherefore  also  through  him 
is  the  Amen,  unto  the  glory  of 
God  through  us.  21  Now  he  that 
establisheth  us  with  you  in  Christ, 
and  anointed  us,  is  God;  22 
who  also  sealed  us,  and  gave  us 
the  earnest  of  the  Spirit  in  our 
hearts. 

23  But  I  call  God  for  a  witness 
upon  my  soul,  that  to  spare  you 
I  forbare  to  come  unto  Corinth. 
24  Not  that  we  have  lordship  over 
your  faith,  but  are  helpers  of  your 
joy:  for  in  faith  ye  stand  fast. 

"OUT  I  determined  this  for  my- 
2J3  self,  that  I  would  not  come 
again  to  you  with  sorrow.  2  For  if 
I  make  you  sorry,  who  then  is  he 
that  maketh  me  glad  but  he  that  is 
made  sorry  by  me?  3  And  I  wrote 
this  very  thing,  lest,  when  I  came, 
I  should  have  sorrow  from  them  of 
whom  I  ought  to  rejoice;  having 
confidence  in  you  all,  that  my  joy  is 
the  joy  of  you  all.  4  For  out  of 
much  affliction  and  anguish  of 
heart  I  wrote  unto  you  with  many 
tears ;  not  that  ye  should  be  made 
sorry,  but  that  ye  might  know  the 
love  which  I  have  more  abundantly 
unto  you. 

5  But  if  any  hath  caused  sor- 
row, he  hath  caused  sorrow,  not  to 
me,  but  in  part  (that  I  press  not 
too  heavily)  to  you  all.  6  Suffi- 
cient to  such  a  one  is  this  punish- 
ment which  was  inUicted  by  the 
many ;  7  so  that  contrariwise  ye 
should  rather  forgive  him  and 
comfort  him,  lest  by  any  means 
such  a  one  should  be  swallowed 
up  with  his  overmuch  sorrow.  8 
Wherefore  I  beseech  you  to  con- 
firm your  love  toward  him.    9  For 


18  But  God  is  faithful,  for  our  preach- 
ing which  was  to  you,  was  not.  It  is,  and 
It  is  not. 

19  For  the  Son  of  God,  Jesus  Christ 
who  was  preached  among  you  by  us,  by 
me,  and  Sylvanus,  and  Timothy,  was  not, 
It  is  and  It  is  not,  but.  It  is,  was  in  him. 

20  For  all  the  promises  of  God  are  in 
him.  It  is;  therefore  also  by  him,  amen 
to  God,  unto  our  glory. 

21  Now  he  that  confirmeth  us  with  you 
in  Christ,  and  that  hath  anointed  us,  is 
God: 

22  Who  also  hath  sealed  us,  and  given 
the  pledge  of  the  Spirit  in  our  hearts. 

23  But  I  call  God  to  witness  upon  my 
soul,  that  to  spare  you,  I  came  not  any 
more  to  Corinth :  not  because  we  exer- 
cise dominion  over  your  faith :  but  we 
are  helpers  of  your  joy:  for  in  faith  you 
stand. 


CHAPTER  2. 

BUT    I    determined   this    with    myself, 
not  to  come  to  you  again  in  sorrow. 

2  For  if  I  make  you  sorrowful,  who  is 
he  then  that  can  make  me  glad,  but  the 
same  who  is  made  sorrowful  by  me? 

3  And  I  wrote  this  same  to  you ;  that  I 
may  not,  when  I  come,  have  sorrow  upon 
sorrow,  from  them  of  whom  I  ought  to 
rejoice:  having  confidence  in  you  all, 
that  my  joy  is  the  joy  of  you  all. 

4  For  out  of  much  affliction  and  anguish 
of  heart,  I  wrote  to  you  with  many  tears : 
not  that  you  should  be  made  sorrowful : 
but  that  you  might  know  the  charity  I 
have  more  abundantly  towards  you. 

5  And  if  any  one  have  caused  grief,  he 
hath  not  grieved  me;  but  in  part,  that  I 
may  not  burden  you  all. 

6  To  him  who  is  such  a  one,  this  rebuke 
is  sufficient,  which  is  given  by  many : 

7  So  that  on  the  contrary,  you  should 
rather  forgive  him  and  comfort  him,  lest 
perhaps  such  a  one  be  swallowed  up 
with  overmuch  sorrow. 

8  Wherefore,  I  beseech  you,  that  you 
would  confirm  your  charity  towards 
him. 

9  For  to  this  end  also  did  I  write,  that 
I  may  know  the  experiment  of  you, 
whether  you  be  obedient  in  all  things.

10  To  whom  ye  forgive  any  thing,  I 
forgive  also:  for  if  I  forgave  any  thing, 
to  whom  I  forgave  it,  for  your  sakes

11  Lest  Satan  should  get  an  advantage 
of  us:  for  we  are  not  ignorant  of  his 
devices.

to  preach  Christ's  gospel,  and  a  door  was 
opened  unto  me  of  the  Lord, 

13  I  had  no  rest  in  my  spirit,  because 
I  found  not  Titus  my  brother :  but  taking 
my  leave  of  them,  I  went  from  thence  into 
Macedonia. 

14  Now  thanks  he  unto  God,  which  al- 
ways causeth  us  to  triumph  in  Christ,  and 
maketh  manifest  the  savour  of  his  knowl- 
edge by  us  in  every  place. 

15  For  we  are  unto  God  a  sweet  savour 
of  Christ,  in  them  that  are  saved,  and  in 
them  that  perish : 

16  To  the  one  we  are  the  savour  of 
death  unto  death;  and  to  the  other  the 
savour  of  life  unto  life.  And  who  is 
sufficient  for  these  things? 

17  For  we  are  not  as  many,  which 
corrupt  the  word  of  God :  but  as  of  sin- 
cerity, but  as  of  God,  in  the  sight  of  God 
speak  we  in  Christ. 


CHAPTER  3. 

DO  we  begin  again  to  commend  our- 
selves? or  need  we,  as  some  others, 
epistles  of  commendation  to  you,  or  let- 
ters of  commendation  from  you? 

2  Ye  are  our  epistle  written  in  our 
hearts,  known  and  read  of  all  men : 

3  Forasmuch  as  ye  are  manifestly  de- 
clared to  be  the  epistle  of  Christ  min- 
istered by  us,  written  not  with  ink,  but 
with  the  Spirit  of  the  living  God;  not 
in  tables  of  stone,  but  in  fleshy  tables  of 
the  heart. 

4  And  such  trust  have  we  through 
Christ  to  God-ward : 

5  Not  that  we  are  sufficient  of  our- 
selves to  think  any  thing  as  of  ourselves ; 
but  our  sufficiency  is  of  God ; 

6  Who  also  hath  made  us  able  min- 
isters of  the  new  testament ;  not  of  the 
letter,  but  of  the  spirit:  for  the  letter 
killeth,  but  the  spirit  giveth  life. 

7  But  if  the  ministration  of  death,  writ- 
ten and  engraven  in  stones,  was  glorious. 


did  I  write,  that  I  might  know  the 
proof  of  you,  whether  ye  are 
obedient  in  all  things.  10  But  to 
whom  ye  forgive  anything,  I  for- 
give also :  for  what  I  also  have  for- 
given, if  I  have  forgiven  anything, 
for  your  sakes  have  I  forgiven  it  in 
the  person  of  Christ;  11  that  no 
advantage  may  be  gained  over  us 
by  Satan :  for  we  are  not  ignorant 
of  his  devices. 

12  Now  when  I  came  to  Troas 
for  the  gospel  of  Christ,  and  when 
a  door  was  opened  unto  me  in  the 
Lord,  13  I  had  no  relief  for  my 
spirit,  because  I  found  not  Titus 
my  brother ;  but  taking  my  leave 
of  them,  I  went  forth  into  Macedo- 
nia. 14  But  thanks  be  unto  God, 
which  always  leadeth  us  in  tri- 
umph in  Christ,  and  maketh  mani- 
fest through  us  the  savour  of  his 
knowledge  in  every  place.  15  For 
we  are  a  sweet  savour  of  Christ 
unto  God,  in  them  that  are  being 
saved,  and  in  them  that  are  per- 
ishing ;  16  to  the  one  a  savour  from 
death  unto  death;  to  the  other  a 
savour  from  life  unto  life.  And 
who  is  sufficient  for  these  things? 
17  For  we  are  not  as  the  many, 
corrupting  the  word  of  God:  but 
as  of  sincerity,  but  as  of  God,  in 
the  sight  of  God,  speak  we  in  Christ. 


A  RE  we  beginning  again  to

that  are  hearts  of  flesh.  4  And 
such  confidence  have  we  through

but  our  sufficiency  is  from  God ; 
6  who  also  made  us  sufficient  as 
ministers  of  a  new  covenant ;  not 
of  the  letter,  but  of  the  spirit :  for 
the  letter  killeth,  but  the  spirit 
giveth  life.  7  But  if  the  ministra-

to  this  end  also  did  I  write,  that  I 
might  know  the  proof  of  you, 
whether  ye  are  obedient  in  all 
things.  ID  But  to  whom  ye  for- 
give anything,  I  forgive  also :  for 
what  I  also  have  forgiven,  if  I  have 
forgiven  anything,  for  your  sakes

of  Christ;  11  that  no  advantage 
may  be  gained  over  us  by  Satan :

that  are  hearts  of  flesh.  4  And 
such  confidence  have  we  through

your  sakes  have  I  done  it  in  the  person 
of  Christ. 

11  That  we  be  not  overreached  by 
Satan.  For  we  are  not  ignorant  of  his 
devices. 

12  And  when  I  was  come  to  Troas  for 
the  gospel  of  Christ,  and  a  door  was 
opened  unto  me  in  the  Lord, 

13  I  had  no  rest  in  my  spirit,  because  I

14  Now  thanks  be  to  God,  who  always 
maketh  us  to  triumph  in  Christ  Jesus, 
and  manifesteth  the  odour  of  his  knowl- 
edge by  us  in  every  place. 

15  For  we  are  the  good  odour  of  Christ 
unto  God,  in  them  that  are  saved,  and  in 
them  that  perish. 

16  To  the  one  indeed  the  odour  of  death 
unto  death :  but  to  the  others  the  odour 
of  life  unto  life.  And  for  these  things 
who  is  so  sufficient? 

17  For  we  are  not  as  many,  adulterat-

but  as  from  God,  before  God,  in  Christ 
we  speak. 


CHAPTER    3. 

DO  we  begin  again  to  commend  our- 
selves? Or  do  we  need  (as  some 
do)  epistles  of  commendation  to  you,  or 
from  you? 

2  You  are  our  epistle,  written  in  our 
hearts,  which  is  known  and  read  by  all 
men: 

3  Being  manifested,  that  you  are  the 
epistle  of  Christ,  ministered  by  us,  and 
written  not  with  ink,  but  with  the  Spirit 
of  the  living  God;  not  in  tables  of 
stone,  but  in  the  fleshly  tables  of  the 
heart. 

4  And  such  confidence  we  have,  through 
Christ,  towards  God. 

5  Not  that  we  are  sufficient  to  think 
any  thing  of  ourselves,  as  of  ourselves: 
but  our  sufficiency  is  from  God. 

6  Who  also  hath  made  us  fit  ministers 
of  the  new  testament,  not  in  the  letter, 
but  in  the  spirit.  For  the  letter  killeth, 
but  the  spirit  quickeneth. 

7  Now  if  the  ministration  of  death,  en- 


270      AUTHORIZED

so  that  the  children  of  Israel  could  not 
stedfastly  behold  the  face  of  Moses  for 
the  glory  of  his  countenance;  which  glory 
was  to  be  done  away : 

8  How  shall  not  the  ministration  of  the 
spirit  be  rather  glorious? 

9  For  if  the  ministration  of  condemna- 
tion be  glory,  much  more  doth  the 
ministration  of  righteousness  exceed  in 
glory. 

ID  For  even  that  which  was  made  glori- 
ous had  no  glory  in  this  respect,  by  rea- 
son of  the  glory  that  excelleth. 

11  For  if  that  which  is  done  away  was 
glorious,  much  more  that  which  remain- 
eth  is  glorious. 

12  Seeing  then  that  we  have  such  hope, 
we  use  great  plainness  of  speech: 

13  And  not  as  Moses,  which  put  a  vail 
over  his  face,  that  the  children  of  Israel 
could  not  stedfastly  look  to  the  end  of 
that  which  is  abolished  : 

14  But  their  minds  were  blinded:  for 
until  this  day  remaineth  the  same  vail 
untaken  away  in  the  reading  of  the  old 
testament ;  which  vail  is  done  away  in 
Christ. 

15  But  even  unto  this  day,  when  Moses 
is  read,  the  vail  is  upon  their  heart. 

16  Nevertheless  when  it  shall  turn  to 
the  Lord,  the  vail  shall  be  taken  away. 

17  Now  the  Lord  is  that  Spirit :  and 
where  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is,  there  is 
liberty. 

18  But  we  all,  with  open  face  behold- 
ing as  in  a  glass  the  glory  of  the  Lord, 
are  changed  into  the  same  image  from 
glory  to  glory,  even  as  by  the  Spirit  of 
the  Lord. 


CHAPTER  4. 

THEREFORE  seeing  we  have  this  min- 
istry, as  we  have  received  mercy,  we 
faint  not; 

2  But  have  renounced  the  hidden  things 
of  dishonesty,  not  walking  in  craftiness, 
nor  handling  the  word  of  God  deceitfully ; 
but  by  manifestation  of  the  truth  com- 
mending ourselves  to  every  man's  con- 
science in  the  sight  of  God. 

3  But  if  our  gospel  be  hid,  it  is  hid  to 
them  that  are  lost : 

4  In  whom  the  god  of  this  world  hath 
blinded  the  minds  of  them  which  believe 
not,  lest  the  light  of  the  glorious  gospel 
of  Christ,  who  is  the  image  of  God, 
should  shine  unto  them. 


graven  on  stones,  came  with  glory, 
so  that  the  children  of  Israel  could 
not  look  stedfastly  upon  the  face  of 
Moses  for  the  glory  of  his  face; 
which    glory    was    passing    away : 

8  how  shall  not  rather  the  ministra- 
tion  of   the   spirit   be   with   glory? 

9  For  if  the  ministration  of  con- 
demnation is  glory,  much  rather 
doth  the  ministration  of  righteous- 
ness exceed  in  glory.  10  For  verily 
that  which  hath  been  made  glorious 
hath  not  been  made  glorious  in  this 
respect,  by  reason  of  the  glory  that 
surpasseth.  11  For  if  that  which 
passeth  away  was  with  glory,  much 
more  that  which  remaineth  is  in 
glory. 

12  Having  therefore  such  a  hope, 
we  use  great  boldness  of  speech, 
13  and  are  not  as  Moses,  who  put 
a  veil  upon  his  face,  that  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  should  not  look  sted- 
fastly on  the  end  of  that  which 
was  passing  away:  14  but  their 
minds  were  hardened :  for  until 
this  very  day  at  the  reading  of  the 
old  covenant  the  same  veil  re- 
maineth unlifted;  which  veil  is  done 
away  in  Christ.  15  But  unto  this 
day,  whensoever  Moses  is  read,  a 
veil  lieth  upon  their  heart.  16  But 
whensoever  it  shall  turn  to  the 
Lord,  the  veil  is  taken  away. 
17  Now  the  Lord  is  the  Spirit:  and 
where  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is, 
there  is  liberty.  18  But  we  all,  with 
unveiled  face  reflecting  as  a  mir- 
ror the  glory  of  the  Lord,  are 
transformed  into  the  same  image 
from  glory  to  glory,  even  as  from 
the  Lord  the  Spirit. 

yX^HEREFORE  seeing  we  have 
4  -I  this  ministry,  even  as  we  ob-

we  have  renounced  the  hidden 
things  of  shame,  not  walking  in 
craftiness,  nor  handling  the  word 
of  God  deceitfully;  but  by  the 
rnanifestation  of  the  truth  com-

conscience  in  the  sight  of  God.  3 
But  and  if  our  gospel  is  veiled,  it 
is  veiled  in  them  that  are  perishing: 
4  in  whom  the  god  of  this  world 
hath  blinded  the  minds  of  the  un- 
believing, that  the  light  of  the 
gospel  of  the  glory  of  Christ,  who

graven  on  stones,  came  with  glory, 
so  that  the  children  of  Israel  could 
not  look  stedfastly  upon  the  face 
of  Moses  for  the  glory  of  his  face ; 
which    glory    was    passing    away: 

8  how  shall  not  rather  the  minis- 
tration of  the  spirit  be  with  glory? 

9  For  if  the  ministration  of  con- 
demnation hath  glory,  much  rather 
doth  the  ministration  of  right- 
eousness exceed  in  glory.  10  For 
verily  that  which  hath  been  made 
glorious  hath  not  been  made  glori- 
ous in  this  respect,  by  reason  of 
the  glory  that  surpasseth.  ii  For 
if  that  which  passeth  away  was 
with  glory,  much  more  that  which 
remaineth  is  in  glory. 

12  Having  therefore  such  a  hope, 
we  use  great  boldness  of  speech,  13 
and  are  not  as  Moses,  who  put  a 
veil  upon  his  face,  that  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  should  not  look  sted-

passing  away:  14  but  their  minds

day  at  the  reading  of  the  old  cov- 
enant the  same  veil  remaineth,  it 
not  being  revealed  to  them  that  it 
is  done  away  in  Christ.  15  But 
unto  this  day,  whensoever  Moses 
is  read,  a  veil  lieth  upon  their  heart. 

16  But  whensoever  it  shall  turn  to 
the   Lord,  the  veil   is  taken  away. 

17  Now  the  Lord  is  the  Spirit:  and 
where  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is, 
there  is  liberty.  18  But  we  all,  with 
unveiled  face  beholding  as  in  a 
mirror  the  glory  of  the  Lord,  are 
transformed  into  the  same  image 
from  glory  to  glory,  even  as  from 
the  Lord  the  Spirit. 

q^HEREFORE  seeing  we  have 
4  J-  this  ministry,  even  as  we  ob- 
tained mercy,  we  faint  not:  2  but 
we  have  renounced  the  hidden 
things  of  shame,  not  walking  in 
craftiness,  nor  handling  the  word 
of  God  deceitfully;  but  by  the 
manifestation  of  the  truth  com- 
mending ourselves  to  every  man's 
conscience  in  the  sight  of  God.  3 
And  even  if  our  gospel  is  veiled, 
it  is  veiled  in  them  that  perish : 
4  in  whom  the  god  of  this  world 
hath  blinded  the  minds  of  the 
unbelieving,  that  the  light  of  the 
gospel  of  the  glory  of  Christ,  who 


graven  with  letters  upon  stones,  was 
glorious;  so  that  the  children  of  Israel 
could  not  steadfastly  behold  the  face  of 
Moses,  for  the  glory  of  his  countenance, 
which  is  made  void  : 

8  How  shall  not  the  ministration  of  the 
spirit  be  rather  in  glory? 

9  For  if  the  ministration  of  "condemna- 
tion be  glory,  much  more  the  ministra- 
tion of  justice  aboundeth  in  glory. 

10  For  even  that  which  was  glorious  in 
this  part  was  not  glorified,  by  reason  of 
the  glory  that  excelleth. 

11  For  if  that  which  is  done  away  was 
glorious,  much  more  that  which  remain- 
eth is  in  glory. 

12  Having  therefore  such  hope,  we  use 
much  confidence : 

13  And  not  as  Moses  put  a  veil  upon 
his  face,  that  the  children  of  Israel  might 
not  steadfastly  look  on  the  face  of  that 
which  is  made  void. 

14  But  their  senses  were  made  dull. 
For,  until  this  present  day,  the  selfsame 
veil,  in  the  reading  of  the  old  testament, 
remaineth  not  taken  away  (because  in 
Christ  it  is  made  void). 

15  But  even  until  this  day,  when  Moses 
is  read,  the  veil  is  upon  their  heart. 

16  But  when  they  shall  be  converted  to 
the  Lord,  the  veil  shall  be  taken  away. 

17  Now  the  Lord  is  a  Spirit.  And 
where  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is,  there  is 
liberty. 

18  But  we  all  beholding  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  with  open  face,  are  transformed 
into  the  same  image  from  glory  to  glory, 
as  by  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord. 


CHAPTER  4. 

THEREFORE,    seeing    we    have    this 
ministration,    according   as    we    have 
obtained  mercy,  we  faint  not; 

2  But  we  renounce  the  hidden  things  of 
dishonesty,  not  walking  in  craftiness, 
nor  adulterating  the  word  of  God;  but 
by  manifestation  of  the  truth  commend-

in  the  sight  of  God. 

3  And  if  our  gospel  be  also  hid,  it  is  hid 
to  them  that  are  lost, 

4  In  whom  the  god  of  this  world  hath 
blinded  the  minds  of  unbelievers,  that 
the  light  of  the  gospel  of  the  glory  of 
Christ,  who  is  the  image  of  God,  should

5  For  we  preach  not  ourselves,  but 
Christ  Jesus  the  Lord;  and  ourselves 
your  servants  for  Jesus'  sake. 

6  For  God,  who  commanded  the  light 
to  shine  out  of  darkness,  hath  shined  in 
our  hearts,  to  give  the  light  of  the  knowl- 
edge of  the  glory  of  God  in  the  face  of 
Jesus  Christ. 

7  But  we  have  this  treasure  in  earthen 
vessels,  that  the  excellency  of  the  power 
may  be  of  God,  and  not  of  us. 

8  We  are  troubled  on  every  side,  yet

in  despair;

down,  but  not  destroyed ;

Jesus,  and  shall  present  us  with  you. 

15  For  all  things  are  for  your  sakes, 
that  the  abundant  grace  might  through 
the  thanksgiving  of  many  redound  to  the 
glory  of  God. 

16  For  which  cause  we  faint  not;  but 
though  our  outward  man  perish,  yet  the 
inward  man  is  renewed  day  by  day. 

17  For  our  light  affliction,  which  is  but 
for  a  moment,  worketh  for  us  a  far 
more  exceeding  and  eternal  weight  of 
glory ; 

18  While  we  look  not  at  the  things 
which  are  seen,  but  at  the  things  which 
are  not  seen:  for  the  things  which  are 
seen  are  temporal;  but  the  things  which 
are  not  seen  are  eternal. 


CHAPTER  5. 

FOR  we  know  that  if  our  earthly  house 
of  this  tabernacle  were  dissolved,  we

made  with  hands,  eternal  in  the  heavens.

dawn  upon  them.  5  For  we  preach 
not  ourselves,  but  Christ  Jesus  as 
Lord,  and  ourselves  as  your  serv- 
ants for  Jesus'  sake.  6  Seeing  it  is 
God,  that  said.  Light  shall  shine 
out  of  darkness,  who  shined  in  our 
hearts,  to  give  the  light  of  the 
knowledge  of  the  glory  of  God  in 
the  face  of  Jesus  Christ. 

7  But  we  have  this  treasure  in 
earthen  vessels,  that  the  exceed- 
ing greatness  of  the  power  may  be 
of  God,  and  not  from  ourselves ; 
8  we  are  pressed  on  every  side,  yet 
not  straitened ;  perplexed,  yet  not 
unto  despair;  9  pursued,  yet  not 
forsaken ;  smitten  down,  yet  not  de- 
stroyed;  10  always  bearing  about 
in  the  body  the  dying  of  Jesus,  that 
the  life  also  of  Jesus  may  be  mani- 
fested in  our  body.  11  For  we 
which  live  are  always  delivered 
unto  death  for  Jesus'  sake,  that 
the  life  also  of  Jesus  may  be  mani- 
fested in  our  mortal  flesh.  12  So 
then  death  worketh  in  us,  but  life 
in  you.  13  But  having  the  same 
spirit  of  faith,  according  to  that 
which  is  written,  I  believed,  and 
therefore  did  I  speak;  we  also  be- 
lieve, and  therefore  also  we  speak; 
14  knowing  that  he  which  raised  up 
the  Lord  Jesus  shall  raise  up  us 
also  with  Jesus,  and  shall  present 
us  with  you.  15  For  all  things  are 
for  your  sakes,  that  the  grace,  be- 
ing multiplied  through  the  many, 
may  cause  the  thanksgiving  to 
abound  unto  the  glory  of  God. 

16  Wherefore  we  faint  not;  but 
though  our  outward  man  is  decay- 
ing, yet  our  inward  man  is  re- 
newed day  by  day.  17  For  our 
light  affliction,  which  is  for  the  mo- 
ment, worketh  for  us  more  and 
more  exceedingly  an  eternal  weight 
of  glory;  i8  while  we  look  not  at 
the  things  which  are  seen,  but  at  the 
things  which  are  not  seen :  for  the

in  the  body  the  dying  of  Je- 
sus, that  the  life  also  of  Jesus 
may   be    manifested    in    our   body. 

11  For  we  who  live  are  always  de- 
livered unto  death  for  Jesus'  sake, 
that  the  life  also  of  Jesus  may  be 
manifested    in    our    mortal    flesh. 

12  So  then  death  worketh  in  us, 
but  life  in  you.  13  But  having  the 
same  spirit  of  faith,  according  to 
that  which  is  written,  I  believed, 
and  therefore  did  I  speak;  we  also 
believe,  and  therefore  also  we 
speak;  14  knowing  that  he  that 
raised  up  the  Lord  Jesus  shall 
raise  up  us  also  with  Jesus,  and 
shall  present  us  with  you.  15  For 
all  things  are  for  your  sakes,  that 
the  grace,  being  multiplied  through

5  For  we  preach  not  ourselves,  but 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord ;  and  ourselves 
your  servants  through  Jesus. 

6  For  God,  who  commanded  the  light  to 
shine  out  of  darkness,  hath  shined  in  our 
hearts,  to  give  the  light  of  the  knowledge 
of  the  glory  of  God,  in  the  face  of  Christ 
Jesus. 

7  But  we  have  this  treasure  in  earthen 
vessels,  that  the  excellency  may  be  of 
the  power  of  God,  and  not  of  us. 

8  In  all  things  we  suffer  tribulation,  but 
are  not  distressed;  we  are  straitened, 
but  are  not  destitute ; 

9  We  suffer  persecution,  but  are  not 
forsaken;  we  are  cast  down,  but  we  per- 
ish not: 

10  Always  bearing  about  in  our  body 
the  mortification  of  Jesus,  that  the  life 
also  of  Jesus  may  be  made  manifest  in 
our  bodies. 

1 1  For  we  who  live  are  always  delivered 
unto  death  for  Jesus*  sake;  that  the  life 
also  of  Jesus  may  be  made  manifest  in 
our  mortal  flesh. 

12  So  then  death  worketh  in  us,  but  life 
in  you. 

13  But  having  the  same  spirit  of  faith, 
as  it  is  written:  /  believed,  for  which 
cause  I  have  spoken;  we  also  believe,  for 
which  cause  we  speak  also: 

14  Knowing  that  he  who  raised  up  Je- 
sus, will  raise  us  up  also  with  Jesus,  and 
place  us  with  you. 

15  For  all  things  are  for  your  sakes; 
that  the  grace  abounding  through  many, 
may  abound  in  thanksgiving  unto  the 
glory  of  God. 

16  For  which  cause  we  faint  not;  but 
though  our  outward  man  is  corrupted,  yet 
the  inward  man  is  renewed  day  by  day. 

17  For  that  which  is  at  present  momen- 
tary and  light  of  our  tribulation,  work- 
eth for  us  above  measure  exceedingly  an 
eternal  weight  of  glory.

2  For  in  this  we  groan,  earnestly  de- 
siring to  be  clothed  upon  with  our  house 
which  is  from  heaven  : 

3  If  so  be  that  being  clothed  we  shall 
not  be  found  naked. 

4  For  we  that  are  in  this  tabernacle  do 
groan,  being  burdened:  not  for  that  we 
would  be  unclothed,  but  clothed  upon, 
that  mortality  might  be  swallowed  up  of 
life. 

5  Now  he  that  hath  wrought  us  for 
the  selfsame  thing  is  God,  who  also  hath 
given  unto  us  the  earnest  of  the  Spirit. 

6  Therefore  we  are  always  confident, 
knowing  that,  whilst  we  are  at  home 
in  the  body,  we  are  absent  from  the 
Lord : 

7  (For  we  walk  by  faith,  not  by 
sight:) 

8  We  are  confident,  /  say,  and  willing 
rather  to  be  absent  from  the  body,  and  to 
be  present  with  the  Lord. 

9  Wherefore  we  labour,  that,  whether 
present  or  absent,  we  may  be  accepted  of 
ifiim. 

10  For  we  must  all  appear  before  the 
judgment  seat  of  Christ;  that  every  one 
may  receive  the  things  done  in  his  body, 
according  to  that  he  hath  done,  whether 
it  be  good  or  bad, 

11  Knowing  therefore  the  terror  of  the 
Lord,  we  persuade  men ;  but  we  are  made 
manifest  unto  God ;  and  I  trust  also  are 
made  manifest  in  your  consciences. 

12  For  we  commend  not  ourselves  again 
unto  you,  but  give  you  occasion  to  glory 
on  our  behalf,  that  ye  may  have  some- 
what to  answer  them  which  glory  in  ap- 
pearance, and  not  in  heart. 

13  For  whether  we  be  beside  ourselves, 
it  is  to  God :  or  whether  we  be  sober, 
it  is  for  your  cause. 

14  For  the  love  of  Christ  constraineth 
us;  because  we  thus  judge,  that  if  one 
died  for  all,  then  were  all  dead : 

15  And  that  he  died  for  all,  that  they 
which  live  should  not  henceforth  live  unto 
themselves,  but  unto  him  which  died  for 
them,  and  rose  again. 

16  Wherefore  henceforth  know  we  no 
man  after  the  flesh :  yea,  though  we  have 
known  Christ  after  the  flesh,  yet  now 
henceforth  know  we  him  no  more. 

17  Therefore  if  any  man  be  in  Christ, 
he  is  a  new  creature :  old  things  are 
passed  away;  behold,  all  things  are  be- 
come new. 

18  And  all  things  are  of  God,  who  hath 
reconciled  us  to  himself  by  Jesus  Christ, 


with  hands,  eternal,  in  the  heavens. 

2  For  verily  in  this  we  groan,  long- 
ing to  be  clothed  upon  with  our 
habitation    which   is    from    heaven : 

3  if  so  be  that  being  clothed  we 
shall  not  be  found  naked.  4  For 
indeed  we  that  are  in  this  taber- 
nacle do  groan,  being  burdened ; 
not  for  that  we  would  be  unclothed, 
but  that  we  would  be  clothed  upon, 
that  what  is  mortal  may  be  swal- 
lowed up  of  life.  5  Now  he  that 
wrought  us  for  this  very  thing  is 
God,  who  gave  unto  us  the  earnest 
of  the  Spirit.  6  Being  therefore 
always  of  good  courage,  and  know- 
ing that,  whilst  we  are  at  home  in 
the  body,  we  are  absent  from  the 
Lord  7  (for  we  walk  by  faith,  not 
by  sight)  ;  8  we  are  of  good  cour- 
age, I  say,  and  are  willing  rather 
to  be  absent  from  the  body,  and  to 
be  at  home  with  the  Lord.  9  Where- 
fore also  we  make  it  our  aim, 
whether  at  home  or  absent,  to  be 
well-pleasing  unto  him.  10  For  we 
must  all  be  made  manifest  before 
the  judgement-seat  of  Christ;  that 
each  one  may  receive  the  things 
done  in  the  body,  according  to  what 
he  hath  done,  whether  it  be  good 
or  bad. 

II  Knowing  therefore  the  fear  of 
the  Lord,  we  persuade  men,  but 
we  are  made  manifest  unto  God ; 
and  I  hope  that  we  are  made  mani- 
fest also  in  your  consciences.  12 
We  are  not  again  commending  our- 
selves unto  you,  but  speak  as  giv- 
ing you  occasion  of  glorying  on  our 
behalf,  that  ye  may  have  where- 
with to  answer  them  that  glory 
in    appearance,    and    not    in    heart. 

13  For  whether  we  are  beside  our- 
selves, it  is  unto  God ;  or  whether 
we  are  of  sober  mind,  it  is  unto  you. 

14  For  the  love  of  Christ  constrain- 
eth us ;  because  we  thus  judge,  that 
one  died  for  all,  therefore  all  died ; 

15  and  he  died  for  all,  that  they 
which  live  should  no  longer  live 
unto  themselves,  but  unto  him 
who  for  their  sakes  died  and  rose 
again.  16  Wherefore  we  hence- 
forth know  no  man  after  the  flesh  : 
even  though  we  have  known  Christ 
after  the  flesh,  yet  now  we  know 
him  so  no  more.  17  Wherefore  if 
any  man  is  in  Christ,  he  is  a  new

2  For  verily  in  this  we  groan, 
longing  to  be  clothed  upon  with

us  the  earnest  of  the  Spirit.  6  Be- 
ing therefore  always  of  good  cour-

are  at  home  in  the  body,  we  are  ab- 
sent from  the  Lord  7  (for  we  walk

of  good  courage,  I  say,  and  are 
willing  rather  to  be  absent  from

according  to  what  he  hath  done, 
whether  it  be  good  or  bad. 

II  Knowing  therefore  the  fear 
of  the  Lord,  we  persuade  men,  but 
we  are  made  manifest  unto  God; 
and  I  hope  that  we  are  made  mani-

We  are  not  again  commending

side ourselves,  it  is  unto  God ;  or 
whether  we  are  of  sober  mind,  it  is 
unto  you.  14  For  the  love  of  Christ 
constraineth  us;  because  we  thus 
judge,  that  one  died  for  all,  there- 
fore all  died;  15  and  he  died  for 
all,  that  they  that  live  should  no 
longer  live  unto  themselves,  but 
unto  him  who  for  their  sakes  died 
and  rose  again.  16  Wherefore  we 
henceforth  know  no  man  after  the 
flesh :  even  though  we  have  known 
Christ  after  the  flesh,  yet  now  we 
know  him  so  no  more.  17  Where- 
fore if  any  man  is  in  Christ,  he  is 


2  For  in  this  also  we  groan,  desiring  to 
be  clothed  upon  with  our  habitation  that 
is  from  heaven. 

3  Yet  so  that  we  be  found  clothed,  not 
naked. 

4  For  we  also,  who  are  in  this  taber- 
nacle, do  groan,  being  burthened;  be- 
cause we  would  not  be  unclothed,  but 
clothed  upon,  that  that  which  is  mortal 
rnay  be  swallowed  up  by  life. 

5  Now  he  that  maketh  us  for  this  very 
thing,  is  God,  who  hath  given  us  the 
pledge  of  the  Spirit. 

6  Therefore  having  always  confidence, 
knowing  that,  while  we  are  in  the  body, 
we  are  absent  from  the  Lord. 

7  (For  we  walk  by  faith,  and  not  by 
sight.) 

8  But  we  are  confident,  and  have  a 
good  will  to  be  absent  rather  from  the 
body,  and  to  be  present  with  the  Lord. 

9  And  therefore  we  labour,  whether  ab- 
sent or  present,  to  please  him. 

ID  For  we  must  all  be  manifested  be- 
fore the  judgment  seat  of  Christ,  that 
every  one  may  receive  the  proper  things 
of  the  body,  according  as  he  hath  done, 
whether  it  be  good  or  evil. 

11  Knowing  therefore  the  fear  of  the 
Lord,  we  use  persuasion  to  men ;  but  to 
God  we  are  manifest.  And  I  trust  also 
that  in  your  consciences  we  are  mani- 
fest. 

12  We  commend  not  ourselves  again  to 
you,  but  give  you  occasion  to  glory  in 
our  behalf;  that  you  may  have  somewhat 
to  answer  them  who  glory  in  face,  and 
not  in  heart. 

13  For  whether  we  be  transported  in 
mind,  it  is  to  God ;  or  whether  we  be 
sober,  it  is  for  you. 

14  For  the  charity  of  Christ  presseth 
us:  judging  this,  that  if  one  died  for  all, 
then  all  were  dead. 

15  And  Christ  died  for  all;  that  they 
also  who  live,  may  not  now  live  to  them- 
selves, but  unto  him  who  died  for  them, 
and  rose  again. 

i6  Wherefore  henceforth,  we  know  no 
man  according  to  the  flesh.  And  if  we 
have  known  Christ  according  to  the  flesh ; 
but  now  we  know  him  so  no  longer. 

17  If  then  any  be  in  Christ  a  new  crea- 
ture, the  old  things  are  passed  away, 
behold  all  things  are  made  new. 

18  But  all  things  are  of  God,  v^ho  hath 
reconciled  us  to  himself  by  Christ;  and 
hath  given  to  us  the  ministry  of  recon- 
ciliation.

and  hath  given  to  us  the  ministry  of  rec- 
onciliation ; 

19  To  wit,  that  God  was  in  Christ,  rec- 
onciling the  world  unto  himself,  not  im- 
puting their  trespasses  unto  them;  and 
hath  committed  unto  us  the  word  of 
reconciliation. 

20  Now  then  we  are  ambassadors  for 
Christ,  as  though  God  did  beseech  you 
by  us :  we  pray  you  in  Christ's  stead,  be 
ye  reconciled  to  God. 

21  For  he  hath  made  him  to  he  sin  for 
us,  who  knew  no  sin;  that  we  might  be 
made  the  righteousness  of  God  in  him. 


CHAPTER  6. 

WE   then,   as  workers   together   with 
him,  beseech  you  also  that  ye  re- 
ceive not  the  grace  of  God  in  vain.

time  accepted,  and  in  the  day  of  salva- 
tion have  I  succoured  thee :  behold,  now 
is  the  accepted  time ;  behold,  now  is  the 
day  of  salvation.) 

3  Giving  no  offence  in  any  thing,  that 
the  ministry  be  not  blamed : 

4  But  in  all  things  approving  ourselves 
as  the  ministers  of  God,  in  much  patience, 
in  afflictions,  in  necessities,  in  distresses, 

5  In  stripes,  in  imprisonments,  in 
tumults,  in  labours,  in  watchings,  in  fast- 
ings; 

6  By  pureness,  by  knowledge,  by  long- 
suffering,  by  kindness,  by  the  Holy  Ghost, 
by  love  unfeigned, 

7  By  the  word  of  truth,  by  the  power 
of  God,  by  the  armour  of  righteousness 
on  the  right  hand  and  on  the  left, 

8  By  honour  and  dishonour,  by  evil 
report  and  good  report :  as  deceivers,  and 
yet  true; 

9  As  unknown,  and  yet  well  known ;  as 
dying,  and,  behold,  we  live;  as  chastened, 
and  not  killed ; 

10  As  sorrowful,  yet  alway  rejoicing; 
as  poor,  yet  making  many  rich ;  as  having 
nothing,  and  yet  possessing  all  things.

hath  righteousness  with  unrighteousness? 
and  what  communion  hath  light  with

Belial?  or  what  part  hath  he  that  believ-

18  And  will  be  a  Father  unto  you,  and 
ye  shall  be  my  sons  and  daughters,  saith 
the  Lord  Almighty. 


CHAPTER  7. 

HAVING  therefore  these  promises, 
dearly  beloved,  let  us  cleanse  our- 
selves from  all  filthiness  of  the  flesh  and 
spirit,  perfecting  holiness  in  the  fear  of 
God. 

2  Receive  us ;  we  have  wronged  no  man, 
we  have  corrupted  no  man,  we  have  de- 
frauded no  man. 

3  I  speak  not  this  to  condemn  you: 
for  I  have  said  before,  that  ye  are  in  our 
hearts  to  die  and  live  with  you. 

4  Great  is  my  boldness  of  speech  toward 
you,  great  is  my  glorying  of  you :  I  am 
filled  with  comfort,  I  am  exceeding  joy- 
ful in  all  our  tribulation. 

5  For,  when  we  were  come  into  Mace- 
donia, our  flesh  had  no  rest,  but  we  were 
troubled  on  every  side;  without  were 
fightings,  within  were  fears. 

6  Nevertheless  God,  that  comforteth 
those  that  are  cast  down,  comforted  us  by 
the  coming  of  Titus; 

7  And  not  by  his  coming  only,  but  by 
the  consolation  wherewith  he  was  com- 
forted in  you,  when  he  told  us  your  ear- 
nest desire,  your  mourning,  your  fervent 
mind  toward  me;  so  that  I  rejoiced  the 
more. 

8  For  though  I  made  you  sorry  with  a 
letter,  I  do  not  repent,  though  I  did  re- 


your  own  affections.  13  Now  for 
a  recompense  in  like  kind  (I  speak 
as  unto  my  children),  be  ye  also 
enlarged. 

14  Be  not  unequally  yoked  with 
unbelievers:  for  what  fellowship 
have  righteousness  and  iniquity?  or 
what  communion  hath  light  with 
darkness?  15  And  what  concord 
hath  Christ  with  Belial  ?  or  what 
portion  hath  a  believer  with  an  un- 
believer? 16  And  what  agreement 
hath  a  temple  of  God  with  idols? 
for  we  are  a  temple  of  the  living 
God ;  even  as  God  said,  I  will 
dwell  in  them,  and  walk  in  them ; 
and  I  will  be  their  God,  and  they 
shall  be  my  people.     17  Wherefore 

Come  ye  out  from  among  them, 
and  be  ye  separate, 
saith  the  Lord, 

And  touch  no  unclean  thing; 

And  I  will  receive  you, 
18  And  will  be  to  you  a  Father, 

And  ye  shall  be  to  me  sons  and 
daughters, 
saith  the  Lord  Almighty. 


TTAVING  therefore  these 
/Al  promises,  beloved,  let  us 
cleanse  ourselves  from  all  defile- 
ment of  flesh  and  spirit,  perfecting 
holiness  in  the  fear  of  God. 

2  Open  your  hearts  to  us:  we 
wronged  no  man,  we  corrupted  no 
man,  we  took  advantage  of  no  man. 
3  I  say  it  not  to  condemn  you:  for 
I  have  said  before,  that  ye  are  in 
our  hearts  to  die  together  and  live 
together.  4  Great  is  my  boldness 
of  speech  toward  you,  great  is  my 
glorying  on  your  behalf :  I  am 
filled  with  comfort,  I  overflow  with 
joy  in  all  our  affliction. 

5  For  even  when  we  were  come 
into  Macedonia,  our  flesh  had  no  re- 
lief, but  we  were  afflicted  on  every 
side ;  without  were  fightings,  with-

holiness  in  the  fear  of  God. 

2  Open  your  hearts  to  us :  we 
wronged  no  man,  we  corrupted  no

CHAPTER  7. 

HAVING  therefore  these  promises, 
dearly  beloved,  let  us  cleanse  our- 
selves from  all  defilement  of  the  flesh 
and  of  the  spirit,  perfecting  sanctification 
in  the  fear  of  God. 

2  Receive  us.  We  have  injured  no  man, 
we  have  corrupted  no  man,  we  have  over- 
reached no  man. 

3  I  speak  not  this  to  your  condemnation. 
For  we  have  said  before,  that  you  are  in 
our  hearts,  to  die  together,  and  to  live 
together. 

4  Great  is  my  confidence  for  you,  great 
is  my  glorying  for  you.  I  am  filled  with 
comfort:  I  exceedingly  abound  with  joy 
in  all  our  tribulation. 

5  For  also  when  we  were  come  into 
Macedonia,  our  flesh  had  no  rest,  but  we 
suffered  all  tribulation;  combats  without, 
fears  within. 

6  But  God,  who  comforteth  the  humble, 
comforted  us  by  the  coming  of  Titus. 

7  And  not  by  his  coming  only,  but  also 
by  the  consolation,  wherewith  he  was 
comforted  in  you,  relating  to  us  your 
desire,  your  mourning,  your  zeal  for  me, 
so  that  I  rejoiced  the  more. 

8  For  although  I  made  you  sorrowful 
by  my  epistle,  I  do  not  repent;  and  if  I 
did  repent,  seeing  that  the  same  epistle

pent:  for  I  perceive  that  the  same  epistle 
hath  made  you  sorry,  though  it  were  but 
for  a  season. 

9  Now  I  rejoice,  not  that  ye  were  made 
sorry,  but  that  ye  sorrowed  to  repentance : 
for  ye  were  made  sorry  after  a  godly 
manner,  that  ye  might  receive  damage 
by  us  in  nothing. 

ID  For  godly  sorrow  worketh  repent- 
ance to  salvation  not  to  be  repented  of: 
but  the  sorrow  of  the  world  worketh 
death. 

11  For  behold  this  selfsame  thing,  that 
ye  sorrowed  after  a  godly  sort,  what  care- 
fulness it  wrought  in  you,  yea,  what  clear- 
ing of  yourselves,  yea,  what  indignation, 
yea,  what  fear,  yea,  what  vehement  desire, 
yea,  whai  zeal,  yea,  what  revenge!  In 
all  things  ye  have  approved  yourselves  to 
be  clear  in  this  matter. 

12  Wherefore,  though  I  wrote  unto 
you,  /  did  it  not  for  his  cause  that  had 
done  the  wrong,  nor  for  his  cause  that 
suffered  wrong,  but  that  our  care  for 
you  in  the  sight  of  God  might  appear 
unto  you. 

13  Therefore  we  were  comforted  in 
your  comfort:  yea,  and  exceedingly  the 
more  joyed  we  for  the  joy  of  Titus,  be- 
cause his  spirit  was  refreshed  by  you  all. 

14  For  if  I  have  boasted  any  thing  to 
him  of  you,  I  am  not  ashamed ;  but  as  we 
spake  all  things  to  you  in  truth,  even  so 
our  boasting,  which  /  made  before  Titus, 
is  found  a  truth. 

15  And  his  inward  affection  is  more 
abundant  toward  you,  whilst  he  remem- 
bereth  the  obedience  of  you  all,  how  with 
fear  and  trembling  ye  received  him. 

16  I  rejoice  therefore  that  I  have  con- 
fidence in  you  in  all  things. 


CHAPTER  8. 

MOREOVER,  brethren,  we  do  you  to 
wit  of  the  grace  of  God  bestowed  on 
the  churches  of  Macedonia; 

2  How  that  in  a  great  trial  of  affliction 
the  abundance  of  their  joy  and  their  deep 
poverty  abounded  unto  the  riches  of  their 
liberality. 

3  For  to  their  power,  I  bear  record,  yea, 
and  beyond  their  power  they  were  willing 
of  themselves; 

4  Praying  us  with  much  intreaty  that 


I  do  not  regret  it,  though  I  did 
regret;  for  I  see  that  that  epistle 
made  you  sorry,  though  but  for  a 
season.  9  Now  I  rejoice,  not  that 
ye  were  made  sorry,  but  that  ye 
were  made  sorry  unto  repentance : 
for  ye  were  made  sorry  after  a 
godly  sort,  that  ye  might  suffer  loss 
by  us  in  nothing.  10  For  godly  sor- 
row worketh  repentance  unto  salva- 
tion, a  repentance  which  bringeth 
no  regret:  but  the  sorrow  of  the 
world  worketh  death.  11  For  be- 
hold, this  selfsame  thing,  that  ye 
were  made  sorry  after  a  godly  sort, 
what  earnest  care  it  wrought  in 
you,  yea,  what  clearing  of  your- 
selves, yea,  what  indignation,  yea, 
what  fear,  yea,  what  longing,  yea, 
what  zeal,  yea,  what  avenging!  In 
everything  ye  approved  yourselves 
to  be  pure  in  the  matter.  12  So 
although  I  wrote  unto  you,  /  wrote 
not  for  his  cause  that  did  the 
wrong,  nor  for  his  cause  that 
suffered  the  wrong,  but  that 
your  earnest  care  for  us  might 
be  made  manifest  unto  you  in 
the  sight  of  God.  13  Therefore 
we  have  been  comforted :  and  in 
our  comfort  we  joyed  the  more 
exceedingly  for  the  joy  of  Titus, 
because  his  spirit  hath  been  re- 
freshed by  you  all.  14  For  if  in 
anything  I  have  gloried  to  him  on 
your  behalf,  I  was  not  put  to 
shame;  but  as  we  spake  all  things 
to  you  in  truth,  so  our  glorying  also, 
which  I  made  before  Titus,  was 
found  to  be  truth.  15  And  his  in- 
ward affection  is  more  abundantly 
toward  you,  whilst  he  remembereth 
the  obedience  of  you  all,  how  with 
fear  and  trembling  ye  received  him. 
16  I  rejoice  that  in  everything  I 
am  of  good  courage  concerning 
you.

the  abundance  of  their  joy  and 
their  deep  poverty  abounded  unto

according  to  their  power,  I  bear

epistle,  I  do  not  regret  it:  though 
I  did  regret  it  (for  I  see  that  that 
epistle  made  you  sorry,  though  but 
for  a  season),  9  1  now  rejoice,  not 
that  ye  were  made  sorry,  but  that 
ye  were  made  sorry  unto  repent- 
ance ;  for  ye  were  made  sorry  after 
a  godly  sort,  that  ye  might  suffer 
loss  by  us  in  nothing.  10  For  godly 
sorrow  worketh  repentance  unto 
salvation,  a  repentance  which  bring- 
eth  no  regret :  but  the  sorrow  of 
the  world  worketh  death.  11  For 
behold,  this  selfsame  thing,  that  ye 
were  made  sorry  after  a  godly  sort, 
what  earnest  care  it  wrought  in 
you,  yea  what  clearing  of  your- 
selves, yea  what  indignation,  yea 
what  fear,  yea  what  longing,  yea 
what  zeal,  yea  what  avenging!  In 
everything  ye  approved  yourselves 
to  be  pure  in  the  matter.  12  So  al- 
though I  wrote  unto  you,  /  wrote 
not  for  his  cause  that  did  the 
wrong,  nor  for  his  cause  that  suf- 
fered the  wrong,  but  that  your 
earnest  care  for  us  might  be  made 
manifest  unto  you  in  the  sight  of 
GoS.  13  Therefore  we  have  been 
comforted :  and  in  our  comfort  we 
joyed  the  more  exceedingly  for  the 
joy  of  Titus,  because  his  spirit  hath 
been  refreshed  by  you  all.  14  For 
if  in  anything  I  have  gloried  to  him 
on  your  behalf,  I  was  not  put  to 
shame;  but  as  we  spake  all  things 
to  you  in  truth,  so  our  glorying 
also  which  I  made  before  Titus 
was  found  to  be  truth.  15  And  his 
affection  is  more  abundantly  toward 
you,  while  he  remembereth  the 
obedience  of  you  all,  how  with 
fear  and  trembling  ye  received  him. 
16  I  rejoice  that  in  everything  I 
am  of  good  courage  concerning 
you. 


(although  but  for  a  time)  did  make  you 
sorrowful ; 

9  Now  I  am  glad :  not  because  you  were 
made  sorrowful ;  but  because  you  were 
made  sorrowful  unto  penance.  For  you 
were  made  sorrowful  according  to  God, 
that  you  might  suffer  damage  by  us  in 
nothing. 

10  For  the  sorrow  that  is  according  to 
God  worketh  penance,  steadfast  unto 
salvation;  but  the  sorrow  of  the  world 
worketh  death. 

11  For  behold  this  selfsame  thing,  that 
you  were  made  sorrowful  according  to 
God,  how  great  carefulness  it  worketh  in 
you ;  yea  defence,  yea  indignation,  yea 
fear,  yea  desire,  yea  zeal,  yea  revenge : 
in  all  things  you  have  shewed  yourselves 
to  be  undefiled  in  the  matter. 

12  Wherefore  although  I  wrote  to  you, 
it  was  not  for  his  sake  that  did  the  wrong, 
nor  for  him  that  suffered  it;  but  to 
manifest  our  carefulness  that  we  have  for 
you 

13  Before  God :  therefore  we  were  com- 
forted. But  in  our  consolation,  we  did 
the  more  abundantly  rejoice  for  the  joy 
of  Titus,  because  his  spirit  was  refreshed 
by  you  all. 

_I4  And  if  I  have  boasted  any  thing  to 
him  of  you,  I  have  not  been  put  to 
shame;  but  as  we  have  spoken  all  things 
to  you  in  truth,  so  also  our  boasting  that 
was  made  to  Titus  is  found  a  truth. 

15  And  his  bowels  are  more  abundantly 
towards  you;  remembering  the  obedi- 
ence of  you  all,  how  with  fear  and  trem- 
bling you  received  him. 

16  I  rejoice  that  in  all  things  I  have 
confidence  in  you.

NOW     we     make     known     unto    you, 
brethren,  the  grace  of  God,  that  hath 
been  given  in  the  churches  of  Macedonia. 

2  That  in  much  experience  of  tribula- 
tion, they  have  had  abundance  of  joy ;  and 
their  very  deep  poverty  hath  abounded 
unto  the  riches  of  their  simplicity. 

3  For  according  to  their  power  (I  bear 
them  witness),  and  beyond  their  power, 
they  were  willing. 

4  With  much  entreaty  begging  of  us  the

we  would  receive  the  gift,  and  take  upon 
us  the  fellowship  of  the  ministering  to 
the  saints. 

5  And  this  they  did,  not  as  we  hoped, 
but  first  gave  their  own  selves  to  the 
Lord,  and  unto  us  by  the  will  of  God. 

6  Insomuch  that  we  desired  Titus,  that 
as  he  had  begun,  so  he  would  also  finish 
in  you  the  same  grace  also. 

7  Therefore,  as  ye  abound  in  every 
thing,  in  faith,  and  utterance,  and  knowl- 
edge, and  in  all  diligence,  and  in  your 
love  to  us,  see  that  ye  abound  in  this 
grace  also. 

8  I  speak  not  by  commandment,  but  by 
occasion  of  the  forwardness  of  others, 
and  to  prove  the  sincerity  of  your  love. 

9  For  ye  know  the  grace  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  that,  though  he  was  rich, 
yet  for  your  sakes  he  became  poor, 
that  ye  through  his  poverty  might  be 
rich. 

10  And  herein  I  give  my  advice :  for 
this  is  expedient  for  you,  who  have  be- 
gun before,  not  only  to  do,  but  also  to  be 
forward  a  year  ago.     . 

11  Now  therefore  perform  the  doing  o/ 
it;  that  as  there  was  a  readiness  to  will, 
so  there  may  he  a  performance  also  out 
of  that  which  ye  have. 

12  For  if  there  be  first  a  willing  mind, 
it  is  accepted  according  to  that  a  man 
hath,  and  not  according  to  that  he  hath 
not. 

13  For  /  mean  not  that  other  men  be 
eased,  and  ye  burdened: 

14  But  by  an  equality,  that  now  at  this 
time  your  abundance  may  he  a  supply  for 
their  want,  that  their  abundance  also  may 
be  a  supply  for  your  want :  that  there  may 
be  equality : 

15  As  it  is  written.  He  that  had  gath- 
ered much  had  nothing  over;  and  he  that 
had  gathered  little  had  no  lack. 

16  But  thanks  he  to  God,  which  put  the 
same  earnest  care  into  the  heart  of  Titus 
for  you. 

17  For  indeed  he  accepted  the  exhor- 
tation ;  but  being  more  forward,  of  his 
own  accord  he  went  unto  you. 

18  And  we  have  sent  with  him  the 
brother,  whose  praise  is  in  the  gospel 
throughout  all  the  churches; 

19  And  not  that  only,  but  who  was  also 
chosen  of  the  churches  to  travel  with  us 
with  this  grace,  which  is  administered  by 
us  to  the  glory  of  the  same  Lord,  and 
declaration  of  your  ready  mind : 

20  Avoiding  this,  that  no  m^n  should 


cord,  4  beseeching  us  with  much  in- 
treaty  in  regard  of  this  grace  and 
the  fellowship  in  the  ministering  to 
the  saints :  5  and  this,  not  as  we 
had  hoped,  but  first  they  gave  their 
own  selves  to  the  Lord,  and  to  us 
by  the  will  of  God.  6  Insomuch 
that  we  exhorted  Titus,  that  as  he 
had  made  a  beginning  before,  so  he 
would  also  complete  in  you  this 
grace  also.  7  But  as  ye  abound  in 
everything,  in  faith,  and  utterance, 
and  knowledge,  and  in  all  earnest- 
ness, and  in  your  love  to  us,  see 
that  ye  abound  in  this  grace  also. 
8  I  speak  not  by  way  of  command- 
ment, but  as  proving  through  the 
earnestness  of  others  the  sincerity 
also  of  your  love.  9  For  ye  know 
the  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
that,  though  he  was  rich,  yet  for 
your  sakes  he  became  poor,  that  ye 
through  his  poverty  might  become 
rich.  10  And  herein  I  give  my 
judgement:  for  this  is  expedient 
for  you,  who  were  the  first  to  make 
a  beginning  a  year  ago,  not  only 
to  do,  but  also  to  will.  11  But  now 
complete  the  doing  also;  that  as 
there  was  the  readiness  to  will^  so 
there  may  he  the  completion  also 
out  of  your  ability.  12  For  if  the 
readiness  is  there,  it  is  acceptable 
according  as  a  man  hath,  not  ac- 
cording as  he  hath  not.  13  For  / 
say  not  this,  that  others  may  be 
eased,  and  ye  distressed:  14  but  by 
equality ;  your  abundance  heing  a 
supply  at  this  present  time  for  their 
want,  that  their  abundance  also  may 
become  a  supply  for  your  want; 
that  there  may  be  equality:  15  as  it 
is  written,  He  that  gathered  much 
had  nothing  over;  and  he  that  gath- 
ered little  had  no  lack. 

16  But  thanks  be  to  God,  which 
putteth  the  same  earnest  care  for 
you  into  the  heart  of  Titus.  17  For 
indeed  he  accepted  our  exhorta- 
tion ;  but  being  himself  very  ear- 
nest, he  went  forth  unto  you  of  his 
own  accord.  18  And  we  have  sent 
together  with  him  the  brother 
whose  praise  in  the  gospel  is  spread 
through  all  the  churches;  19  and 
not  only  so,  but  who  was  also  ap- 
pointed by  the  churches  to  travel 
with  us  in  the  matter  of  this  grace, 
which   is   ministered  by   us   to   the

their  own  accord,  4  beseeching  us 
with  much  entreaty  in  regard  of 
this  grace  and  the  fellowship  in  the 
ministering  to  the  saints:  5  and 
this,  not  as  we  had  hoped,  but  first 
they  gave  their  own  selves  to  the 
Lord,  and  to  us  through  the  will 
of  God.  6  Insomuch  that  we  ex- 
horted Titus,  that  as  he  had  made 
a  beginning  before,  so  he  would 
also  complete  in  you  this  grace 
also.  7  But  as  ye  abound  in  every- 
thing, in  faith,  and  utterance,  and 
knowledge,  and  in  all  earnestness, 
and  in  your  love  to  us,  see  that  ye 
abound  in  this  grace  also.  8  I 
speak  not  by  way  of  command- 
ment, but  as  proving  through  the 
earnestness  of  others  the  sincerity 
also  of  your  love.  9  For  ye  know 
the  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  that,  though  he  was  rich, 
yet  for  your  sakes  he  became  poor, 
that  ye  through  his  poverty  might 
become  rich.  10  And  herein  I  give 
my  judgment:  for  this  is  expedient 
for  you,  who  were  the  first  to  make 
a  beginning  a  year  ago,  not  only  to 
do,  but  also  to  will.  11  But  now 
complete  the  doing  also;  that  as 
there  was  the  readiness  to  will,  so 
there  may  be  the  completion  also 
out  of  your  ability.  12  For  if  the 
readiness  is  there,  it  is  acceptable 
according  as  a  man  hath,  not  ac- 
cording as  he  hath  not.  13  For  / 
say  not  this  that  others  may  be 
eased  and  ye  distressed;  14  but  by 
equality :  your  abundance  being  a 
supply  at  this  present  time  for  their 
want,  that  their  abundance  also 
may  become  a  supply  for  your 
want ;  that  there  may  be  equality : 
15  as  it  is  written.  He  that  gathered 
much  had  nothing  over ;  and  he 
that  gathered  little  had  no  lack. 

16  But  thanks  be  to  God,  who 
putteth  the  same  earnest  care  for 
you  into  the  heart  of  Titus.  17 
For  he  accepted  indeed  our  exhor- 
tation ;  but  being  himself  very 
earnest,  he  went  forth  unto  you 
of  his  own  accord.  18  And  we 
have  sent  together  with  him  the 
brother  whose  praise  in  the  gos- 
pel is  spread  through  all  the 
churches;  19  and  not  only  so, 
but  who  was  also  appointed  by 
the  churches  to  travel  with  us  in 


grace  and  communication  of  the  ministry 
that  is  done  toward  the  saints. 

5  And  not  as  we  hoped,  but  they  gave 
their  own  selves  first  to  the  Lord,  then 
to  us  by  the  will  of  God : 

6  Insomuch,  that  we  desired  Titus,  that 
as  he  had  begun,  so  also  he  would  finish 
among  you  this  same  grace. 

7  That  as  in  all  things  you  abound  in 
faith,  and  word,  and  knowledge,  and  all 
carefulness ;  moreover  also  in  your  char- 
ity towards  us,  so  in  this  grace  also  you 
may  abound. 

8  I  speak  not  as  commanding;  but  by 
the  carefulness  of  others,  approving  also 
the  good  disposition  of  your  charity. 

9  For  you  know  the  grace  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  that  being  rich  he  became 
poor,  for  your  sakes;  that  through  his 
poverty  you  might  be  rich. 

10  And  herein  I  give  my  advice;  for 
this  is  profitable  for  you,  who  have  be- 
gun not  only  to  do,  but  also  to  be  willing, 
a  year  ago. 

11  Now  therefore  perform  ye  it  also  in 
deed ;  that  as  your  mind  is  forward  to  be 
willing,  so  it  may  be  also  to  perform,  out 
of  that  which  you  have. 

12  For  if  the  will  be  forward,  it  is  ac- 
cepted according  to  that  which  a  man 
hath,  not  according  to  that  which  he  hath 
not. 

13  For  /  mean  not  that  others  should 
be  eased,  and  you  burthened,  but  by  an 
equality. 

14  In  this  present  time  let  your  abun- 
dance supply  their  want,  that  their 
abundance  also  may  supply  your  want, 
that  there  may  be  an  equality, 

15  As  it  is  written:  He  that  had  much, 
had  nothing  over;  and  he  that  had  little, 
had  no  want. 

16  And  thanks  be  to  God,  who  hath 
given  the  same  carefulness  for  you  in  the 
heart  of  Titus. 

17  For  indeed  he  accepted  the  exhorta- 
tion; but  being  more  careful,  of  his  own 
will  he  went  unto  you. 

18  We  have  sent  also  with  him  the 
brother,  whose  praise  is  in  the  gospel 
through  all  the  churches. 

19  And  not  that  only,  but  he  was  also 
ordained  by  the  churches  companion  of 
our  travels,  for  this  grace,  which  is  ad- 
ministered by  us,  to  the  glory  of  the 
Lord,  and  our  determined  will : 

20  Avoiding  this,  lest  any  man  should

ministered by  us,

ministered by  us : 

21  Providing  for  honest  things,  not  only 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  but  also  in  the 
sight  of  men. 

22  And  we  have  sent  with  them  our 
brother,  whom  we  have  oftentimes  proved 
diligent  in  many  things,  but  now  much 
more  diligent,  upon  the  great  confidence 
which  /  have  in  you.

is  my  partner  and  fellow-helper  concern- 
ing you :  or  our  brethren  be  enquired  of, 
they  are  the  messengers  of  the  churches, 
and  the  glory  of  Christ.

before  the  churches,  the  proof  of  your 
love,  and  of  our  boasting  on  your  be- 
half. 


glory  of  the  Lord,  and  to  shew  our 
readiness  :  20  avoiding  this,  that  any 
man  should  blame  us  in  the  matter 
of  this  bounty  which  is  ministered 
by  us:  21  for  we  take  thought  for 
things  honourable,  not  only  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  but  also  in  the 
sight  of  men.  22  And  we  have  sent 
with  them  our  brother,  whom  we 
have  many  times  proved  earnest  in 
many  things,  but  now  much  more 
earnest,  by  reason  of  the  great  con- 
fidence which  he  hath  in  you. 
23  Whether  any  inquire  about  Titus, 
he  is  my  partner  and  my  fellow- 
worker  to  you-ward ;  or  our  breth- 
ren, they  are  the  messengers  of  the 
churches,  they  are  the  glory  of 
Christ.  24  Shew  ye  therefore  unto 
them  in  the  face  of  the  churches 
the  proof  of  your  love,  and  of  our 
glorying  on  your  behalf. 


CHAPTER  9. 

FOR  as  touching  the  ministering  to  the 
saints,    it   is    superfluous    for   me   to 
write  to  you : 

2  For  I  know  the  forwardness  of  your 
mind,  for  which  I  boast  of  you  to  them 
of  Macedonia,  that  Achaia  was  ready  a 
year  ago;  and  your  zeal  hath  provoked 
very  many. 

3  Yet  have  I  sent  the  brethren,  lest 
our  boasting  of  you  should  be  in  vain  in 
this  behalf;  that,  as  I  said,  ye  may  be 
ready  : 

4  Lest  haply  if  they  of  Macedonia  come 
with  me,  and  find  you  unprepared,  we 
(that  we  say  not,  ye)  should  be  ashamed 
in  this  same  confident  boasting. 

5  Therefore  I  thought  it  necessary  to 
exhort  the  brethren,  that  they  would  go 
before  unto  you,  and  make  up  before- 
hand your  bounty,  whereof  ye  had  notice 
before,  that  the  same  might  be  ready,  as 
a  matter  of  bounty,  and  not  as  of  cov- 
etousness. 

6  But  this  I  say,  He  which  soweth 
sparingly  shall  reap  also  sparingly;  and 
he  which  soweth  bountifully  shall  reap 
also  bountifully. 

7  Every  man  according  as  he  purposeth 
in  his  heart,  so  let  him  give;  not  grudg- 
ingly, or  of  necessity :  for  God  loveth  a 
cheerful  giver. 

8  And  God  is  able  to  make  all  grace 
abound  toward  you;  that  ye,  always  hay- 


T?OR  as  touching  the  minister- 
yJC  ing  to  the  saints,  it  is  super- 
fluous for  me  to  write  to  you : 
2  for  I  know  your  readiness,  of 
which  I  glory  on  your  behalf  to 
them  of  Macedonia,  that  Achaia 
hath  been  prepared  for  a  year 
past ;  and  your  zeal  hath  stirred 
up  very  many  of  them.  3  But  I 
have  sent  the  brethren,  that  our 
glorying  on  your  behalf  may  not 
be  made  void  in  this  respect;  that, 
even  as  I  said,  ye  may  be  pre- 
pared :  4  lest  by  any  means,  if 
there  come  with  me  any  of  Mace- 
donia, and  find  you  unprepared,  we 
(that  we  say  not,  ye)  should  be  put 
to  shame  in  this  confidence.  5  I 
thought  it  necessary  therefore  to 
intreat  the  brethren,  that  they  would 
go  before  unto  you,  and  make 
up  beforehand  your  aforepromised 
bounty,  that  the  same  might  be 
ready,  as  a  matter  of  bounty,  and 
not  of  extortion, 

6  But  this  /  say,  He  that  soweth 
sparingly  shall  reap  also  sparingly; 
and  he  that  soweth  bountifully 
shall  reap  also  bountifully.  7  Let 
each  man  do  according  as  he  hath 
purposed  in  his  heart;  not  grudg- 
ingly, or  of  necessity :  for  God  lov- 
eth a  cheerful  giver.    8  And  God

the  matter  of  this  grace,  which  is 
ministered  by  us  to  the  glory  of 
the  Lord,  and  to  show  our  readi- 
ness :  20  avoiding  this,  that  any 
man  should  blame  us  in  the  matter 
of  this  bounty  which  is  ministered 
by  us:  21  for  we  take  thought  for 
things  honorable,  not  only  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  but  also  in  the 
sight  of  men.  22  And  we  have  sent 
with  them  our  brother,  whom  we 
have  many  times  proved  earnest  in 
many  things,  but  now  much  more 
earnest,  by  reason  of  the  great 
confidence  which  he  hath  in  you. 
23  Whether  any  inquire  about  Titus, 
he  is  my  partner  and  my  fellow- 
worker  to  you-ward;  or  our  breth- 
ren, they  are  the  messengers  of 
the  churches,  they  are  the  glory 
of  Christ.  24  Show  ye  therefore 
unto  them  in  the  face  of  the 
churches  the  proof  of  your  love, 
and  of  our  glorying  on  your  be- 
half. 

XT^OR  as  touching  the  minister- 
91.  ing  to  the  saints,  it  is  super- 
fluous for  me  to  write  to  you :  2 
for  I  know  your  readiness,  of  which 
I  glory  on  your  behalf  to  them  of 
Macedonia,  that  Achaia  hath  been 
prepared  for  a  year  past;  and  your 
zeal  hath  stirred  up  very  many 
of  them.  3  But  I  have  sent  the 
brethren,  that  our  glorying  on  your 
behalf  may  not  be  made  void  in 
this  respect;  that,  even  as  I  said, 
ye  may  be  prepared :  4  lest  by  any 
means,  if  there  come  with  me  any 
of  Macedonia  and  find  you  unpre- 
pared, we  (that  we  say  not,  ye) 
should  be  put  to  shame  in  this  con- 
fidence. 5  I  thought  it  necessary 
therefore  to  entreat  the  brethren, 
that  they  would  go  before  unto  you, 
and  make  up  beforehand  your 
aforepromised  bounty,  that  the 
same  might  be  ready  as  a  matter 
of  bounty,  and  not  of  extortion. 

6  But  this  /  say,  He  that  soweth 
sparingly  shall  reap  also  sparingly; 
and  he  that  soweth  bountifully  shall 
reap  also  bountifully.  7  Let  each 
man  do  according  as  he  hath  pur- 
posed in  his  heart:  not  grudgingly, 
or  of  necessity :  for  God  loveth  a 
cheerful  giver.  8  And  God  is  able 
to  make  all  grace  abound  unto  you ; 


21  For  we  forecast  what  may  be  good 
not  only  before  God,  but  also  before 
men. 

22  And  we  have  sent  with  them  our 
brother  also,  whom  ye  have  often  proved 
diligent  in  many  things ;  but  now  much 
more  diligent,  with  much  confidence  in 
you, 

23  Either  for  Titus,  who  is  my  compan- 
ion and  fellow  labourer  towards  you,  or 
our  brethren,  the  apostles  of  the  churches, 
the  glory  of  Christ. 

24  Wherefore  shew  ye  to  them,  in  the 
sight  of  the  churches,  the  evidence  of 
your  charity,  and  of  our  boasting  on  your 
behalf. 


CHAPTER  9. 

FOR   concerning   the   ministry   that   is 
done  towards  the  saints,  it  is  super- 
fluous for  me  to  write  unto  you. 

2  For  I  know  your  forward  mind:  for 
which  I  boast  of  you  to  the  Macedonians. 
That  Achaia  also  is  ready  from  the  year 
past,  and  your  emulation  hath  provoked 
very  many. 

3  Now  I  have  sent  the  brethren,  that 
the  thing  which  we  boast  of  concerning 
you,  be  not  made  void  in  this  behalf,  that 
(as  I  have  said)  you  may  be  ready : 

4  Lest,  when  the  Macedonians  shall 
come  with  me,  and  find  you  unprepared, 
we  (not  to  say  ye)  should  be  ashamed 
in  this  matter. 

5  Therefore  I  thought  it  necessary  to 
desire  the  brethren  that  they  would  go 
to  you  before,  and  prepare  this  blessing 
before  promised,  to  be  ready,  so  as  a 
blessing,  not  as  covetousness. 

6  Now  this  I  say :  He  who  soweth  spar- 
ingly, shall  also  reap  sparingly:  and  he 
who  soweth  in  blessings,  shall  also  reap 
blessings. 

7  Every  one  as  he  hath  determined  in 
his  heart,  not  with  sadness,  or  of  neces- 
sity:  for  God  loveth  a  cheerful  giver. 

8  And  God  is  able  to  make  all  grace 
abound  in  you;  that  ye  always,  having 
all  sufficiency  in  all  things,  may  abound 
to  every  good  work, 

9  As  it  is  written:  He  hath  dispersed

ing  all  sufficiency  in  all  things,  may 
abound  to  every  good  work: 

9  (As  it  is  written,  He  hath  dispersed 
abroad;  he  hath  given  to  the  poor:  his 
righteousness  remaineth  for  ever. 

ID  Now  he  that  ministereth  seed  to 
the  sower  both  minister  bread  for  your 
food,  and  multiply  your  seed  sown,  and 
increase  the  fruits  of  your  righteous- 
ness;) 

11  Being  enriched  in  every  thing  to  all 
bountifulness,  which  causeth  through  us 
thanksgiving  to  God. 

12  For  the  administration  of  this  service 
not  only  supplieth  the  want  of  the  saints, 
but  is  abundant  also  by  many  thanksgiv- 
ings unto  God; 

13  Whiles  by  the  experiment  of  this 
ministration  they  glorify  God  for  your 
professed  subjection  unto  the  gospel  of 
Christ,  and  for  your  liberal  distribution 
unto  them,  and  unto  all  men; 

14  And  by  their  prayer  for  you,  which 
long  after  you  for  the  exceeding  grace  of 
God  in  you. 

15  Thanks  be  unto  God  for  his  unspeak- 
able gift. 


CHAPTER  10. 

NOW  I  Paul  myself  beseech  you  by 
the  meekness  and  gentleness  of 
Christ,  who  in  presence  am  base  among 
you,  but  being  absent  am  bold  toward 
you: 

2  But  I  beseech  you,  that  I  may  not  be 
bold  when  I  am  present  with  that  con- 
fidence, wherewith  I  think  to  be  bold 
against  some,  which  think  of  us  as  if  we 
walked  according  to  the  flesh. 

3  For  though  we  walk  in  the  flesh,  we 
do  not  war  after  the  flesh : 

4  (For  the  weapons  of  our  warfare 
are  not  carnal,  but  mighty  through  God 
to  the  pulling  down  of  strong  holds;) 

5  Casting  down  imaginations,  and  every 
high  thing  that  exalteth  itself  against  the 
knowledge  of  God,  and  bringing  into 
captivity  every  thought  to  the  obedience 
of  Christ; 

6  And  having  in  a  readiness  to  re- 
venge all  disobedience,  when  your  obedi- 
ence is  fulfilled. 

7  Do  ye  look  on  things  after  the  out- 
ward appearance?     If  any  man  trust  to 


is  able  to  make  all  grace  abound 
unto  you ;  that  ye,  having  always 
all  sufficiency  in  everything,  may 
abound  unto  every  good  work :  9  as 
it  is  written, 

He    hath    scattered    abroad,    he 
hath  given  to  the  poor ; 

His  righteousness  abideth  for 
ever. 
10  And  he  that  supplieth  seed  to 
the  sower  and  bread  for  food,  shall 
supply  and  multiply  your  seed  for 
sowing,  and  increase  the  fruits  of 
your  righteousness:  11  ye  being 
enriched  in  everything  unto  all 
liberality,  which  worketh  through 
us  thanksgiving  to  God.  12  For 
the  ministration  of  this  service  not 
only  filleth  up  the  measure  of  the 
wants  of  the  saints,  but  aboundeth 
also  through  many  thanksgivings 
unto  God;  13  seeing  that  through 
the  proving  of  you  by  this  minis- 
tration they  glorify  God  for  the 
obedience  of  your  confession  unto 
the  gospel  of  Christ,  and  for  the 
liberality  of  your  contribution  unto 
them  and  unto  all ;  14  while  they 
themselves  also,  with  supplication 
on  your  behalf,  long  after  you  by 
reason  of  the  exceeding  grace  of 
God  in  you.  15  Thanks  be  to  God 
for  his  unspeakable  gift. 

I^OW  I  Paul  myself  intreat 
lOX^  you  by  the  meekness  and 
gentleness  of  Christ,  I  who  in  your 
presence  am  lowly  among  you,  but 
being  absent  am  of  good  courage 
toward  you :  2  yea,  I  beseech  you, 
that  I  may  not  when  present  shew 
courage  with  the  confidence  where- 
with I  count  to  be  bold  against 
some,  which  count  of  us  as  if  we 
walked  according  to  the  flesh.  3 
For  though  we  walk  in  the  flesh,  we 
do  not  war  according  to  the  flesh 
4  (for  the  weapons  of  our  warfare 
are  not  of  the  flesh,  but  mighty  be- 
fore God  to  the  casting  down  of 
strong  holds)  ;  5  casting  down 
imaginations,  and  every  high  thing 
that  is  exalted  against  the  knowl- 
edge of  God,  and  bringing  every 
thought  into  captivity  to  the  obedi- 
ence of  Christ;  6  and  being  in 
readiness  to  avenge  all  disobedience, 
when  your  obedience  shall  be  ful- 
filled.   7  Ye  look  at  the  things  that

that  ye,  having  always  all  sufficiency 
in  everything,  may  abound  unto 
every  good  work :  9  as  it  is  writ- 
ten, 

He    hath    scattered    abroad,    he 
hath  given  to  the  poor; 

His  righteousness  abideth  for 
ever. 
10  And  he  that  supplieth  seed  to 
the  sower  and  bread  for  food,  shall 
supply  and  multiply  your  seed  for 
sowing,  and  increase  the  fruits  of 
your  righteousness:  11  ye  being

tration they  glorify  God  for  the 
obedience  of  your  confession  unto 
the  gospel  of  Christ,  and  for  the 
liberality  of  your  contribution  un- 
to them  and  unto  all ;  14  while 
they  themselves  also,  with  suppli- 
cation on  your  behalf,  long  after 
you  by  reason  of  the  exceeding 
grace  of  God  in  you.  15  Thanks 
be  to  God  for  his  unspeakable  gift. 


I^OW  I  Paul  myself  entreat 
lO-L^  you  by  the  meekness  and 
gentleness  of  Christ,  I  who  in  your 
presence  am  lowly  among  you,  but 
being  absent  am  of  good  courage 
toward  you :  2  yea,  I  beseech  you, 
that  I  may  not  when  present  show 
courage  with  the  confidence  where- 
with I  count  to  be  bold  against 
some,  who  count  of  us  as  if  we 
walked  according  to  the  flesh.  3 
For  though  we  walk  in  the  flesh, 
we  do  not  war  according  to  the 
flesh  4  (for  the  weapons  of  our 
warfare  are  not  of  the  flesh,  but 
mighty  before  God  to  the  casting 
down  of  strongholds);  5  casting 
down  imaginations,  and  every  high 
thing  that  is  exalted  against  the 
knowledge  of  God,  and  bringing 
every  thodght  into  captivity  to  the 
obedience  of  Christ ;  6  and  being 
in  readiness  to  avenge  all  disobedi- 
ence, when  your  obedience  shall  be 
made  full.    7  Ye  look  at  the  things 


abroad,  he  hath  given  to  the  poor:  his  jus- 
tice remaineth  for  ever. 

10  And  he  that  ministereth  seed  to  the 
sower,  will  both  give  you  bread  to  eat, 
and  will  multiply  your  seed,  and  increase 
the  growth  of  the  fruits  of  your  justice: 

11  That  being  enriched  in  all  things, 
you  may  abound  unto  all  simplicity, 
which  worketh  through  us  thanksgiving 
to  God. 

12  Because  the  administration  of  this 
office  doth  not  only  supply  the  want  of 
the  saints,  but  aboundeth  also  by  many 
thanksgivings   in   the   Lord, 

13  By  the  proof  of  this  ministry,  glori- 
fying God  for  the  obedience  of  your  con- 
fession unto  the  gospel  of  Christ,  and 
for  the  simplicity  of  your  communicating 
unto  them,  and  unto  all. 

14  And  in  their  praying  for  you,  being 
desirous  of  you,  because  of  the  excellent 
grace  of  God  in  you. 

15  Thanks  be  to  God  for  his  unspeak- 
able gift. 


CHAPTER  10. 

NOW  I  Paul  myself  beseech  you,  by 
the  mildness  and  modesty  of  Christ, 
who  in  presence  indeed  am  lowly  among 
you,  but  being  absent,  am  bold  toward 
you. 

2  But  I  beseech  you,  that  I  may  not  be 
bold  when  I  am  present,  with  that  con- 
fidence vvherewith  I  am  thought  to  be 
bold,  against  some,  who  reckon  us  as  if 
we  walked  according  to  the  flesh. 

3  For  though  we  walk  in  the  flesh,  we 
do  not  war  according  to  the  flesh. 

4  For  the  weapons  of  our  warfare  are 
not  carnal,  but  mighty  to  God  unto  the 
pulling  down  of  fortifications,  destroy- 
ing counsels, 

5  And  every  height  that  exalteth  itself 
against  the  knowledge  of  God,  and  bring- 
ing into  captivity  every  understanding 
unto  the  obedience  of  Chfist; 

6  And  having  in  readiness  to  revenge 
all  disobedience,  when  your  obedience 
shall  be  fulfilled. 

7  See  the  things  that  are  according  to 
outward  appearance.     If  any  man  trust

himself  that  he  is  Christ's,  let  him  of 
himself  think  this  again,  that,  as  he  is 
Christ's,  even  so  are  we  Christ's. 

8  For  though  I  should  boast  somewhat 
more  of  our  authority,  which  the  Lord 
hath  given  us  for  edification,  and  not 
for  your  destruction,  I  should  not  be 
ashamed : 

9  That  I  may  not  seem  as  if  I  would 
terrify  you  by  letters. 

ID  For  his  letters,  say  they,  are  weighty 
and  powerful ;  but  kis  bodily  presence  is 
weak,  and  his  speech  contemptible. 

11  Let  such  an  one  think  this,  that,  such 
as  we  are  in  word  by  letters  when  we 
are  absent,  such  will  we  be  also  in  deed 
when  we  are  present. 

12  For  we  dare  not  make  ourselves  of 
the  number,  or  compare  ourselves  with 
some  that  commend  themselves:  but  they 
measuring  themselves  by  themselves,  and 
comparing  themselves  among  themselves, 
are  not  wise. 

13  But  we  will  not  boast  of  things  with- 
out our  measure,  but  according  to  the 
measure  of  the  rule  which  God  hath  dis- 
tributed to  us,  a  measure  to  reach  even 
unto  you. 

14  For  we  stretch  not  ourselves  beyond 
our  measure,  as  though  we  reached  not 
unto  you :  for  we  are  come  as  far  as 
to  you  also  in  preaching  the  gospel  of 
Christ : 

15  Not  boasting  of  things  without  our 
measure,  that  is,  of  other  men's  labours ; 
but  having  hope,  when  your  faith  is  in- 
creased, that  we  shall  be  enlarged  by  you 
according  to  our  rule  abundantly, 

16  To  preach  the  gospel  in  the  regions 
beyond  you,  and  not  to  boast  in  another 
man's  line  of  things  made  ready  to  our 
hand. 

17  But  he  that  glorieth,  let  him  glory 
in  the  Lord. 

18  For  not  he  that  commendeth  him- 
self is  approved,  but  whom  the  Lord  com- 
mendeth. 


CHAPTER  II. 

WOULD  to  God  ye  could  bear  with 
me  a  little  in  my  folly :  and  indeed 
bear  with  me. 

2  For  I  am  jealous  over  you  with  godly 
jealousy :  for  I  have  espoused  you  to  one 
husband,  that  I  may  present  you  as  a 
chaste  virgin  to  Christ. 

3  But  I  fear,  lest  by  any  means,  as  the 


are  before  your  face.  If  any  man 
trusteth  in  himself  that  he  is 
Christ's,  let  him  consider  this  again 
with  himself,  that,  even  as  he  is 
Christ's,  •  so  also  are  we.  8  For 
though  I  should  glory  somewhat 
abundantly  concerning  our  author- 
ity (which  the  Lord  gave  for  build- 
ing you  up,  and  not  for  casting  you 
down),  I  shall  not  be  put  to  shame: 

9  that  I  may  not  seem  as  if  I 
would    terrify    you    by    my    letters. 

10  For,  His  letters,  they  say,  are 
weighty  and  strong;  but  his  bodily 
presence  is  weak,  and  his  speech  of 
no  account.  11  Let  such  a  one 
reckon  this,  that,  what  we  are  in 
word  by  letters  when  we  are  absent, 
such  are  we  also  in  deed  when  we 
are  present.  12  For  we  are  not  bold 
to  number  or  compare  ourselves 
with  certain  of  them  that  com- 
mend themselves:  but  they  them- 
selves, measuring  themselves  by 
themselves,  and  comparing  them- 
selves with  themselves,  are  with- 
out understanding.  13  But  we  will 
not  glory  beyond  our  measure,  but 
according  to  the  measure  of  the 
province  which  God  apportioned 
to  us  as  a  measure,  to  reach  even 
unto  you.  14  For  we  stretch  not 
ourselves  overmuch,  as  though  we 
reached  not  unto  you :  for  we 
came  even  as  far  as  unto  you  in 
the  gospel  of  Christ:  15  not  glory- 
ing beyond  our  measure,  that  is,  in 
other  men's  labours;  but  having 
hope  that,  as  your  faith  groweth, 
we  shall  be  magnified  in  you  ac- 
cording to  our  province  unto 
further  abundance,  16  so  as  to 
preach  the  gospel  even  unto  the 
parts  beyond  you,  and  not  to  glory 
in  another's  province  in  regard  of 
things  ready  to  our  hand.  17  But 
he  that  glorieth,  let  him  glory  in 
the  Lord.  18  For  not  he  that  com- 
mendeth himself  is  approved,  but 
whom  the  Lord  commendeth. 

XVTOULD  that  ye  could  bear 

1 1  T  T  with  me  in  a  little  foolish- 
ness :  nay  indeed  bear  with  me. 
2  For  I  am  jealous  over  you  with 
a  godly  jealousy:  for  I  espoused 
you  to  one  husband,  that  I  might 
present  you  as  a  pure  virgin  to 
Christ.     3  But  I  fear,  lest  by  any

man  trusteth  in  himself  that  he  is 
Christ's,  let  him  consider  this  again 
with  himself,  that,  even  as  he  is 
Christ's,  so  also  are  we.  8  For 
though  I  should  glory  somewhat 
abundantly  concerning  our  author- 
ity (which  the  Lord  gave  for 
building  you  up,  and  not  for  cast- 
ing you  down),  I  shall  not  be  put

as  if  I  would  terrify  you  by  my 
letters.  10  For,  His  letters,  they 
say,  are  weighty  and  strong;  but 
his  bodily  presence  is  weak,  and 
his  speech  of  no  account.  11  Let 
such  a  one  reckon  this,  that,  what 
we  are  in  word  by  letters  when  we 
are  absent,  such  are  we  also  in 
deed  when  we  are  present.  12  For 
we  are  not  bold  to  number  or  com- 
pare ourselves  with  certain  of  them 
that  commend  themselves :  but  they 
themselves,  measuring  themselves 
by  themselves,  and  comparing  them- 
selves with  themselves,  are  without 
understanding.  13  But  we  will  not 
glory  beyond  our  measure,  but  ac- 
cording to  the  measure  of  the  prov- 
ince which  God  apportioned  to  us 
as  a  measure,  to  reach  even  unto 
you.  14  For  we  stretch  not  our- 
selves overmuch,  as  though  we 
reached  not  unto  you :  for  we  came 
even  as  far  as  unto  you  in  the 
gospel  of  Christ:  15  not  glorying 
beyond  our  measure,  that  is,  in 
other  men's  labors;  but  having 
hope  that,  as  your  faith  groweth, 
we  shall  be  magnified  in  you  ac- 
cording to  our  province  unto 
further  abundance,  16  so  as  to 
preach  the  gospel  even  unto  the 
parts  beyond  you,  and  not  to  glory 
in  another's  province  in  regard  of 
things  ready  to  our  hand.  17  But 
he  that  glorieth,  let  him  glory  in 
the  Lord.  18  For  not  he  that  com-

to  himself,  that  he  is  Christ's,  let  him 
think  this  again  with  himself,  that  as  he 
is  Christ's,  so  are  we  also. 

8  For  if  also  I  should  boast  somewhat 
more  of  our  power,  which  the  Lord  hath 
given  us  unto  edification,  and  not  for 
your  destruction,  I  should  not  be  ashamed. 

9  But  that  I  may  not  be  thought  as  it 
were  to  terrify  you  by  epistles, 

ID  (For  his  epistles  indeed,  say  they,  are 
weighty  and  strong;  but  his  bodily  pres- 
ence is  weak,  and  his  speech  contempti- 
ble,) 

11  Let  such  a  one  think  this,  that  such 
as  we  are  in  word  by  epistles,  when  ab- 
sent, such  also  we  will  be  indeed  when 
present. 

12  For  we  dare  not  match,  or  compare 
ourselves  with  some,  that  commend  them- 
selves; but  we  measure  ourselves  by  our- 
selves, and  compare  ourselves  with  our- 
selves. 

13  But  we  will  not  glory  beyond  our 
measure;  but  according  to  the  measure 
of  the  rule,  which  God  hath  measured  to 
us,  a  measure  to  reach  even  unto  you, 

14  For  we  stretch  not  ourselves  beyond 
our  measure,  as  if  we  reached  not  unto 
you.  For  we  are  come  as  far  as  to  you 
in  the  gospel  of  Christ. 

15  Not  glorying  beyond  measure  in 
other  men's  labours;  but  having  hope  of 
your  increasing  faith,  to  be  magnified  in 
you  according  to  our  rule  abundantly; 

16  Yea,  unto  those  places  that  are  be- 
yond you,  to  preach  the  gospel,  not  to 
glory  in  another  man's  rule,  in  those 
things  that  are  made  ready  to  our  hand. 

17  But  he  that  glorieth,  let  him  glory 
in  the  Lord. 

18  For  not  he  who  commendeth  him- 
self, is  approved,  but  he,  whom  God  com- 
mendeth. 


CHAPTER  II. 


T^OULD  that  ye  could  bear 
II  TT  with  me  in  a  little  fool- 
ishness :  but  indeed  ye  do  bear  with 
me.  2  For  I  am  jealous  over  you 
with  a  godly  jealousy:  for  I  es- 
poused you  to  one  husband,  that 
I  might  present  you  as  a  pure

some  little  of  my  folly :  but  do  bear 
with  me. 

2  For  I  am  jealous  of  you  with  the  jeal- 
ousy of  God.  For  I  have  espoused  you 
to  one  husband  that  I  may  present  you 
as  a  chaste  virgin  to  Christ.

serpent  beguiled  Eve  through  his  sub- 
tilty,  so  your  minds  should  be  corrupted 
from  the  simplicity  that  is  in  Christ. 

4  For  if  he  that  cometh  preacheth  an- 
other Jesus,  whom  we  have  not  preached, 
or  //  ye  receive  another  spirit,  which  ye 
have  not  received,  or  another  gospel, 
which  ye  have  not  accepted,  ye  might  well 
bear  with  him. 

5  For  I  suppose  I  was  not  a  whit  be- 
hind the  very  chiefest  apostles. 

6  But  though  /  be  rude  in  speech,  yet 
not  in  knowledge;  but  we.  have  been 
throughly  made  manifest  among  you  in 
all  things. 

7  Have  I  committed  an  offence  in  abas- 
ing myself  that  ye  might  be  exalted,  be- 
cause I  have  preached  to  you  the  gospel 
of  God  freely? 

8  I  robbed  other  churches,  taking  wages 
of  them,  to  do  you  service. 

9  And  when  I  was  present  with  you, 
and  wanted,  I  was  chargeable  to  no  man : 
for  that  which  was  lacking  to  me  the 
brethren  which  came  from  Macedonia 
supplied :  and  in  all  things  I  have  kept  my- 
self from  being  burdensome  unto  you, 
and  so  will  I  keep  myself. 

10  As  the  truth  of  Christ  is  in  me,  no 
man  shall  stop  me  of  this  boasting  in  the 
regions  of  Achaia. 

11  Wherefore?  because  I  love  you  not? 
God  knoweth. 

12  But  what  I  do,  that  I  will  do,  that 
I  may  cut  off  occasion  from  them  which 
desire  occasion ;  that  wherein  they  glory, 
they  may  be  found  even  as  we. 

13  For  such  are  false  apostles,  deceitful 
workers,  transforming  themselves  into  the 
apostles  of  Christ. 

14  And  no  marvel;  for  Satan  him- 
self is  transformed  into  an  angel  of 
light. 

15  Therefore  it  is  no  great  thing  if  his 
ministers  also  be  transformed  as  the  min- 
isters of  righteousness;  whose  end  shall 
be  according  to  their  works. 

16  I  say  again.  Let  no  man  think  me  a 
fool ;  if  otherwise,  yet  as  a  fool  receive 
me,  that  I  may  boast  myself  a  little. 

17  That  which  I  speak,  I  speak  it  not 
after  the  Lord,  but  as  it  were  foolishly, 
in  this  confidence  of  boasting. 

18  Seeing  that  many  glory  after  the 
flesh,  I  will  glory  also. 

19  For  ye  suffer  fools  gladly,  seeing  ye 
yourselves  are  wise. 

20  For  ye  suffer,  if  a  man  bring  you 
into  bondage,  if  a  man  devour  you,  if  a 


means,  as  the  serpent  beguiled 
Eve  in  his  craftiness,  your  minds 
should  be  corrupted  from  the  sim- 
plicity and  the  purity  that  is  to- 
ward Christ.  4  For  if  he  that  com- 
eth preacheth  another  Jesus,  whom 
we  did  not  preach,  or  //  ye  receive 
a  different  spirit,  which  ye  did  not 
receive,  or  a  different  gospel,  which 
ye  did  not  accept,  ye  do  well  to 
bear  with  him.  5  For  I  reckon  that 
I  am  not  a  whit  behind  the  very 
chiefest  apostles.  6  But  though  / 
be  rude  in  speech,  yet  am  I  not 
in  knowledge ;  nay,  in  everything 
we  have  made  it  manifest  among 
all  men  to  you-ward.  7  Or  did  I 
commit  a  sin  in  abasing  myself 
that  ye  might  be  exalted,  because 
I  preached  to  you  the  gospel  of 
God  for  nought?  8  I  robbed  other 
churches,  taking  wages  of  them  that 
I  might  minister  unto  you ;  9  and 
when  I  was  present  with  you  and 
was  in  want,  I  was  not  a  burden 
on  any  man ;  for  the  brethren,  when 
they  came  from  Macedonia,  sup- 
plied the  measure  of  my  want;  and 
in  everything  I  kept  myself  from 
being  burdensome  unto  you,  and 
so  will  I  keep  myself.  10  As  the 
truth  of  Christ  is  in  me,  no  man 
shall  stop  me  of  this  glorying  in  the 
regions  of  Achaia.  11  Wherefore? 
because  I  love  you  not?  God 
knoweth.  12  But  what  I  do,  that 
I  will  do,  that  I  may  cut  off  oc- 
casion from  them  which  desire  an 
occasion ;  that  wherein  they  glory, 
they    may    be    found    even    as    we. 

13  For  such  men  are  false  apos- 
tles, deceitful  workers,  fashioning 
themselves  into  apostles  of   Christ. 

14  And  no  marvel ;  for  even  Satan 
fashioneth  himself  into  an  angel 
of  light.  15  It  is  no  great  thing 
therefore  if  his  ministers  also  fash- 
ion themselves  as  ministers  of 
righteousness ;  whose  end  shall  be 
according  to  their  works. 

16  I  say  again.  Let  no  man  think 
me  foolish ;  but  if  ye  do,  yet  as 
foolish  receive  me,  that  I  also  may 
glory  a  little.  17  That  which  I 
speak,  I  speak  not  after  the  Lord, 
but  as  in  foolishness,  in  this  con- 
fidence of  glorying.  18  Seeing  that 
many  glory  after  the  flesh,  I  will 
glory  also.    19  For  ye  bear  with  the

by  any  means,  as  the  serpent  be- 
guiled Eve  in  his  craftiness,  your 
minds  should  be  corrupted  from 
the  simplicity  and  the  purity  that 
is  toward  Christ.  4  For  if  he  that 
cometh  preacheth  another  Jesus, 
whom  we  did  not  preach,  or  if  ye 
receive  a  different  spirit,  which 
ye  did  not  receive,  or  a  different 
gospel,  which  ye  did  not  accept, 
ye  do  well  to  bear  with  him.  5 
For  I  reckon  that  I  am  not  a  whit 
behind   the   very    chiefest   apostles. 

6  But  though  /  be  rude  in  speech, 
yet  am  I  not  in  knowledge;  nay, 
in  every  way  have  we  made  this 
manifest    unto    you    in    all    things. 

7  Or  did  I  commit  a  sin  in  abasing 
myself  that  ye  might  be  exalted, 
because  I  preached  to  you  the 
gospel  of  God  for  nought?  8  I 
robbed  other  churches,  taking 
wages  of  them  that  I  might  min- 
ister unto  you ;  9  and  when  I  was 
present  with  you  and  was  in  want, 
I  was  not  a  burden  on  any  man; 
for  the  brethren,  when  they  came 
from  Macedonia,  supplied  the 
measure  of  my  want;  and  in  every- 
thing I  kept  myself  from  being 
burdensome  unto  you,  and  so  will 
I  keep  myself.  10  As  the  truth  of 
Christ  is  in  me,  no  man  shall  stop 
me  of  this  glorying  in  the  regions 
of  Achaia.  11  Wherefore?  because 
I  love  you  not?  God  knoweth. 
12  But  what  I  do,  that  I  will  do, 
that  I  may  cut  off  occasion  from 
them  that  desire  an  occasion;  that 
wherein  they  glory,  they  may  be 
found  even  as  we.  13  For  such 
men  are  false  apostles,  deceitful 
workers,  fashioning  themselves  into 
apostles  of  Christ.  14  And  no  mar- 
vel;  for  even  Satan  fashioneth 
himself  into  an  angel  of  light.  15 
It  is  no  great  thing  therefore  if 
his  ministers  also  fashion  them- 
selves as  ministers  of  righteous- 
ness; whose  end  shall  be  according 
to  their  works. 

16  I  say  again.  Let  no  man  think 
me  foolish;  but  if  ye  do,  yet  as 
foolish  receive  me,  that  I  also  may 
glory  a  little.  17  That  which  I 
speak,  I  speak  not  after  the  Lord, 
but  as  in  foolishness,  in  this  con- 
fidence of  glorying.  18  Seeing  that 
many  glory  after  the  flesh,  I  will 


Eve  by  his  subtilty,  so  your  minds  should 
be  corrupted,  and  fall  from  the  simplicity 
that  is  in  Christ. 

4  For  if  he  that  cometh  preacheth  an- 
other Christ,  whom  we  have  not  preached ; 
or  if  you  receive  another  Spirit,  whom 
you  have  not  received;  or  another  gospel 
which  you  have  not  received;  you  might 
well  bear  with  him. 

5  For  I  suppose  that  I  have  done 
nothing  less  than  the  great  apostles. 

6  For  although  I  be  rude  in  speech,  yet 
not  in  knowledge;  but  in  all  things  we 
have  been  made  manifest  to  you. 

7  Or  did  I  commit  a  fault,  humbling 
myself,  that  you  might  be  exalted?  Be- 
cause I  preached  unto  you  the  gospel  of 
God  freely? 

8  I  have  taken  from  other  churches,  re- 
ceiving wages  of  them  for  your  min- 
istry. 

9  And,  when  I  was  present  with  you,, 
and  wanted,  I  was  chargeable  to  no  man : 
for  that  which  was  wanting  to  me,  the 
brethren  supplied  who  came  from  Mace- 
donia; and  in  all  things  I  have  kept  my- 
self from  being  burthensome  to  you,  and 
so  I  will  keep  myself. 

10  The  truth  of  Christ  is  in  me,  that 
this  glorying  shall  not  be  broken  off  in 
me  in  the  regions  of  Achaia. 

11  Wherefore?  Because  I  love  you  not? 
God  knoweth  it. 

12  But  what  I  do,  that  I  will  do,  that  I 
may  cut  off  the  occasion  from  them  that 
desire  occasion,  that  wherein  they  glory, 
they  may  be  found  even  as  we. 

13  For  such  false  apostles  are  deceitful 
workmen,  transforming  themselves  into 
the  apostles  of  Christ. 

14  And  no  wonder:  for  Satan  himself 
transformeth  himself  into  an  angel  of 
light. 

15  Therefore  it  is  no  great  thing  if  his 
ministers  be  transformed  as  the  ministers 
of  justice,  whose  end  shall  be  according 
to  their  works. 

16  I  say  again,  (let  no  man  think  me  to 
be  foolish,  otherwise  take  me  as  one  fool- 
ish, that  I  also  may  glory  a  little.) 

17  That  which  I  speak,  I  speak  not  ac- 
cording to  God,  but  as  it  were  in  foolish- 
ness, in  this  matter  of  glorying. 

18  Seeing  that  many  glory  according  to 
the  flesh,  I  will  glory  also. 

19  For  you  gladly  suffer  the  foolish; 
whereas  yourselves  are  wise. 

20  For  you  suffer  if  a  man  bring  you 
into  bondage,  if  a  man  devour  you,  if  a

man   take   of  you,  if   a   man   exalt  him- 
self, if  a  man  smite  you  on  the  face. 

21  I  speak  as  concerning  reproach,  as 
though  we  had  been  weak.  Howbeit 
whereinsoever  any  is  bold,  (I  speak  fool- 
ishly,) I  am  bold  also. 

22  Are  they  Hebrews?  so  am  I.  Are 
they  Israelites?  so  am  I.  Are  they  the 
seed  of  Abraham?  so  am  I. 

23  Are  they  ministers  of  Christ?  (I 
speak  as  a  fool)  I  am  more;  in  labours 
more  abundant,  in  stripes  above  measure, 
in  prisons  more  frequent,  in  deaths  oft. 

24  Of  the  Jews  five  times  received  I 
forty  stripes  save  one. 

25  Thrice  was  I  beaten  with  rods,  once 
was  I  stoned,  thrice  I  suffered  ship- 
wreck, a  night  and  a  day  I  have  been  in 
the  deep; 

26  In  journeyings  often,  in  perils  of 
waters,  in  perils  of  robbers,  in  perils  by 
mine  own  countrymen,  in  perils  by  the 
heathen,  in  perils  in  the  city,  in  perils  in 
the  wilderness,  in  perils  in  the  sea,  in 
perils  among  false  brethren ; 

27  In  weariness  and  painfulness,  in 
watchings  often,  in  hunger  and  thirst,  in 
fastings  often,  in  cold  and  nakedness. 

28  Beside  those  things  that  are  without, 
that  which  cometh  upon  me  daily,  the  care 
of  all  the  churches. 

29  Who  is  weak,  and  I  am  not  weak? 
who  is  offended,  and  I  burn  not? 

30  If  I  must  needs  glory,  I  will  glory 
of  the  things  which  concern  mine  in- 
firmities. 

31  The  God  and  Father  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  which  is  blessed  for  ever- 
more, knoweth  that  I  lie  not. 

32  In  Damascus  the  governor  under 
Aretas  the  king  kept  the  city  of  the 
Damascenes  with  a  garrison,  desirous  to 
apprehend  me : 

33  And  through  a  window  in  a  basket 
was  I  let  down  by  the  wall,  and  escaped 
his  hands. 


CHAPTER  12. 

IT  is  not  expedient  for  me  doubtless  to 
glory.      1    will    come    to    visions    and 
revelations  of  the  Lord. 

2  I  knew  a  man  in  Christ  above  four- 
teen years  ago,  (whether  in  the  body,  I 
cannot  tell;  or  whether  out  of  the  body,  I 


foolish  gladly,  being  wise  your- 
selves. 20  For  ye  bear  with  a  man, 
if  he  bringeth  you  into  bondage,  if 
he  devoureth  you,  if  he  taketh  you 
captive,  if  he  exalteth  himself,  if 
he  smiteth  you  on  the  face.  21  I 
speak  by  way  of  disparagement,  as 
though  we  had  been  weak.  Yet 
whereinsoever  any  is  bold  (I  speak 
in  foolishness),  I  am  bold  also. 
22  Are  they  Hebrews?  so  am  I. 
Are  they  Israelites?  so  am  I,  Are 
they  the  seed  of  Abraham?  so 
am  I.  23  Are  they  ministers  of 
Christ?  (I  speak  as  one  beside 
himself)  I  more;  in  labours  more 
abundantly,  in  prisons  more  abun- 
dantly, in  stripes  above  measure, 
in  deaths  oft.  24  Of  the  Jews  five 
times  received  I  forty  stripes  save 
one.  25  Thrice  was  I  beaten  with 
rods,  once  was  I  stoned,  thrice  I 
suffered  shipwreck,  a  night  and  a 
day  have  I  been  in  the  deep ;  26  in 
journeyings  often,  in  perils  of  riv- 
ers, in  perils  of  robbers,  in  perils 
from  my  countrymen,  in  perils 
from  the  Gentiles,  in  perils  in  the 
city,  in  perils  in  the  wilderness,  in 
perils  in  the  sea,  in  perils  among 
false  brethren ;  27  in  labour  and 
travail,  in  watchings  often,  in  hun- 
ger and  thirst,  in  fastings  often, 
in  cold  and  nakedness.  28  Beside 
those  things  that  are  without,  there 
is  that  which  presseth  upon  me 
daily,  anxiety  for  all  the  churches. 
29  Who  is  weak,  and  I  am  not 
weak?  who  is  made  to  stumble,  and 
I  burn  not?  30  If  I  must  needs 
glory,  I  will  glory  of  the  things 
that  concern  my  weakness.  31  The 
God  and  Father  of  the  Lord  Jesus, 
he  who  is  blessed  for  evermore, 
knoweth  that  I  lie  not.  32  In  Da- 
mascus the  governor  under  Aretas 
the  king  guarded  the  city  of  the 
Damascenes,  in  order  to  take  me : 
ZZ  and  through  a  window  was  I 
let  down  in  a  basket  by  the  wall, 
and  escaped  his  hands. 


T  MUST  needs  glory,  though 
I2X  it  is  not  expedient;  but  I  will 
come  to  visions  and  revelations  of 
the  Lord.  2  I  know  a  man  in 
Christ,  fourteen  years  ago  (whether 
in  the  body,  I  know  not ;  or  whether

glory  also.  19  For  ye  bear  with 
the  foolish  gladly,  being  wise  your- 
selves. 20  For  ye  bear  with  a  man, 
if  he  bringeth  you  into  bondage, 
if  he  devoureth  you,  if  he  taketh 
you  captive,  if  he  exalteth  him- 
self, if  he  smiteth  you  on  the  face. 
21  I  speak  by  way  of  disparage- 
ment, as  though  we  had  been  weak. 
Yet  whereinsoever  any  is  bold  (I 
speak  in  foolishness),  I  am  bold 
also.  22  Are  they  Hebrews?  so  am 
I,  Are  they  Israelites?  so  am  I. 
Are  they  the  seed  of  Abraham?  so 
am  I.  23  Are  they  ministers  of 
Christ?  (I  speak  as  one  beside 
himself)  I  more;  in  labors  more 
abundantly,  in  prisons  more 
abundantly,  in  stripes  above  meas- 
ure, in  deaths  oft.  24  Of  the  Jews 
five  times  received  I  forty  stripes 
save  one.  25  Thrice  was  I  beaten 
with  rods,  once  was  I  stoned,  thrice 
I  suffered  shipwreck,  a  night  and

in  journeyings  often,  in  perils  of 
rivers,  in  perils  of  robbers,  in  perils 
from  my  countrymen,  in  perils 
from  the  Gentiles,  in  perils  in  the 
city,  in  perils  in  the  wilderness,  in 
perils  in  the  sea,  in  perils  among 
false  brethren ;  27  in  labor  and 
travail,  in  watchings  often,  in 
hunger  and  thirst,  in  fastings  often, 
in  cold  and  nakedness.  28  Besides 
those  things  that  are  without,  there 
is  that  which  presseth  upon  me 
daily,  anxiety  for  all  the  churches. 
29  Who  is  weak,  and  I  am  not 
weak?  who  is  caused  to  stumble, 
and  I  burn  not?  30  If  I  must  needs 
glory,  I  will  glory  of  the  things 
that  concern  my  weakness.  31  The 
God  and  Father  of  the  Lord  Jesus, 
he  who  is  blessed  for  evermore 
knoweth  that  I  lie  not.  32  In

T  MUST  needs  glory,  though 
I2X  it  is  not  expedient;  but  I 
will  come  to  visions  and  revela- 
tions of  the  Lord.  2  I  know  a 
man  in  Christ,  fourteen  years  ago 
(whether  in  the  body,  I  know  not; 


man  take  from  you,  if  a  man  be  lifted  up, 
if  a  man  strike  you  on  the  face. 

21  I  speak  according  to  dishonour,  as  if 
we  had  been  weak  in  this  part.  Wherein 
if  any  man  dare  (I.  speak  foolishly),  I 
dare  also. 

22  They  are  Hebrews :  so  am  I.  They 
are  Israelites:  so  am  I.  They  are  the 
seed  of  Abraham :  so  am  I. 

23  They  are  the  ministers  of  Christ  (I 
speak  as  one  less  wise)  :  I  am  more;  in 
many  more  labours,  in  prisons  more  fre- 
quently, in  stripes  above  measure,  in 
deaths  often. 

24  Of  the  Jews  five  times  did  I  receive 
forty  stripes,  save  one. 

25  Thrice  was  I  beaten  with  rods,  once 
I  was  stoned,  thrice  I  suffered  shipwreck, 
a  night  and  a  day  I  was  in  the  depth  of 
the  sea. 

26  In  journeying  often,  in  perils  of  wa- 
ters, in  perils  of  robbers,  in  perils  from 
my  own  nation,  in  perils  from  the  Gen- 
tiles, in  perils  in  the  city,  in  perils  in  the 
wilderness,  in  perils  in  the  sea,  in  perils 
from  false  brethren. 

27  In  labour  and  painfulness,  in  much 
watchings,  in  hunger  and  thirst,  in  fast- 
ings often,  in  cold  and  nakedness. 

28  Besides  those  things  which  are  with- 
out :  my  daily  instance,  the  solicitude  for 
all  the  churches. 

29  Who  is  weak,  and  I  am  not  weak? 
Who  is  scandalized,  and  I  am  not  on  fire? 

30  If  I  must  needs  glory,  I  will  glory  of 
the  things  that  concern  my  infirmity. 

31  The  God  and  Father  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  who  is  blessed  for  ever, 
knoweth  that  I  lie  not. 

32  At  Damascus,  the  governor  of  the 
nation  under  Aretas  the  king,  guarded 
the  city  of  the  Damascenes,  to  apprehend 
me. 

33  And  through  a  window  in  a  basket 
was  I  let  down  by  the  wall,  and  so  es- 
caped his  hands. 


CHAPTER  12. 

IF  I  must  glory  (it  is  not  expedient  in- 
deed) :  but  I  will  come  to  visions  and 
revelations  of  the  Lord. 

2  I  know  a  man  in  Christ  above  four- 
teen years  ago  (whether  in  the  body,  I 
know  not,  or  out  of  the  body,   I  know

cannot  tell:  God  knoweth;)   such  an  one 
caught  up  to  the  third  heaven. 

3  And  I  knew  such  a  man,  (whether 
in  the  body,  or  ouf  of  the  body,  I  can- 
not tell:  God  knoweth;) 

4  How  that  he  was  caught  up  into  para- 
dise, and  heard  unspeakable  words,  which 
it  is  not  lawful  for  a  man  to  utter. 

5  Of  such  an  one  will  I  glory:  yet  of 
myself  I  will  not  glory,  but  in  mine  in- 
firmities. 

6  For  though  I  would  desire  to  glory, 
I  shall  not  be  a  fool ;  for  I  will  say  the 
truth :  but  now  I  forbear,  lest  any  man 
should  think  of  me  above  that  which  he 
seeth  me  to  be,  or  that  he  heareth  of  me. 

7  And  lest  I  should  be  exalted  above 
measure  through  the  abundance  of  the 
revelations,  there  was  given  to  me  a 
thorn  in  the  flesh,  the  messenger  of 
Satan  to  buffet  me,  lest  I  should  be  ex- 
alted above  measure. 

8  For  this  thing  I  besought  the  Lord 
thrice,  that  it  might  depart  from  me. 

9  And  he  said  unto  me.  My  grace  is 
sufficient  for  thee:  for  my  strength  is 
made  perfect  in  weakness.  Most  gladly 
therefore  will  I  rather  glory  in  my  in- 
firmities, that  the  power  of  Christ  may 
rest  upon  me. 

10  Therefore  I  take  pleasure  in  in- 
firmities, in  reproaches,  in  necessities,  in 
persecutions,  in  distresses  for  Christ's 
sake:  for  when  I  am  weak,  then  am  I 
strong. 

11  I  am  become  a  fool  in  glorying;  ye 
have  compelled  me :  for  I  ought  to  have 
been  commended  of  you:  for  in  nothing 
am  I  behind  the  very  chiefest  apostles, 
though  I  be  nothing. 

12  Truly  the  signs  of  an  apostle  were 
wrought  among  you  in  all  patience,  in 
signs,  and  wonders,  and  mighty  deeds. 

13  For  what  is  it  wherein  ye  were  in- 
ferior to  other  churches,  except  it  be  that 
I  myself  was  not  burdensome  to  you? 
forgive  me  this  wrong. 

14  Behold,  the  third  time  I  am  ready 
to  come  to  you ;  and  I  will  not  be  burden- 
some to  you:  for  I  seek  not  your's,  but 
you :  for  the  children  ought  not  to  lay  up 
for  the  parents,  but  the  parents  for  the 
children. 

15  And  I  will  very  gladly  spend  and 
be  spent  for  you ;  though  the  more 
abundantly  I  love  you,  the  less  I  be  loved. 

16  But  be  it  so,  I  did  not  burden  you : 
nevertheless,  being  crafty,  I  caught  you 
with  guile. 


out  of  the  body,  I  know  not ;  God 
knoweth),  such  a  one  caught  up 
even  to  the  third  heaven.  3  And  I 
know  such  a  man  (whether  in  the 
body,  or  apart  from  the  body,  I 
know  not;  God  knoweth),  4  how 
that  he  was  caught  up  into  Para- 
dise, and  heard  unspeakable  words, 
which  it  is  not  lawful  for  a  man  to 
utter.  5  On  behalf  of  such  a  one 
will  I  glory:  but  on  mine  own  be- 
half I  will  not  glory,  save  in  my 
weaknesses.  6  For'  if  I  should  de- 
sire to  glory,  I  shall  not  be  foolish ; 
for  I  shall  speak  the  truth:  but  I 
forbear,  lest  any  man  should  ac- 
count of  me  above  that  which  he 
seeth  me  to  be,  or  heareth  from 
me.  7  And  by  reason  of  the  exceed- 
ing greatness  of  the  revelations — 
wherefore,  that  I  should  not  be  ex- 
alted overmuch,  there  was  given  to 
me  a  thorn  in  the  flesh,  a  messenger 
of  Satan  to  buffet  me,  that  I  should 
not  be  exalted  overmuch.  8  Con- 
cerning this  thing  I  besought  the 
Lord  thrice,  that  it  might  depart 
from  me.  9  And  he  hath  said  unto 
me.  My  grace  is  sufficient  for  thee : 
for  my  power  is  made  perfect  in 
weakness.  Most  gladly  therefore  will 
I  rather  glory  in  my  weaknesses, 
that  the  strength  of  Christ  may  rest 
upon  me.  10  Wherefore  I  take 
pleasure  in  weaknesses,  in  injuries, 
in  necessities,  in  persecutions,  in 
distresses,  for  Christ's  sake:  for 
when  I  am  weak,  then  am  I  strong. 

II  I  am  become  foolish:  ye  com- 
pelled me ;  for  I  ought  to  have 
been  commended  of  you :  for  in 
nothing  was  I  behind  the  very 
chiefest  apostles,  though  I  am 
nothing.  12  Truly  the  signs  of  an 
apostle  were  wrought  among  you 
in  all  patience,  by  signs  and  won- 
ders and  mighty  works.  13  For 
what  is  there  wherein  ye  were  made 
inferior  to  the  rest  of  the  churches, 
except  it  be  that  I  myself  was  not 
a  burden  to  you?  forgive  me  this 
wrong. 

14  Behold,  this  is  the  third  time 
I  am  ready  to  come  to  you ;  and  I 
will  not  be  a  burden  to  you :  for  I

there  was  given  to  me  a  thorn  in

this  thing  I  besought  the  Lord

you  in  all  patience,  by  signs  and

For  what  is  there  wherein  ye  were 
made  inferior  to  the  rest  of  the 
churches,  except  it  he  that  I  my- 
self was  not  a  burden  to  you?  for- 
give me  this  wrong. 

14  Behold,  this  is  the  third  time 
I  am  ready  to  come  to  you ;  and  I 
will  not  be  a  burden  to  you :  for  I 
seek  not  yours,  but  you:  for  the 
children  ought  not  to  lay  up  for

the  children.     15  And  I  will  most 


not;   God  knoweth),  such  a  one  caught 
up  to  the  third  heaven. 

3  And  I  know  such  a  man  (whether  in 
the  body,  or  out  of  the  body,  I  know 
not :  God  knoweth)  : 

4  That  he  was  caught  up  into  paradise, 
and  heard  secret  words,  which  it  is  not 
granted  to  man  to  utter. 

5  For  such  an  one  I  will  glory;  but  for 
myself  I  will  glory  nothing,  but  in  my 
infirmities. 

6  For  though  I  should  have  a  mind  to 
glory,  I  shall  not  be  foolish;  for  I  will 
say  the  truth.  But  I  forbear,  lest  any 
man  should  think  of  me  above  that  which 
he  seeth  in  me,  or  any  thing  he  heareth 
from  me. 

7  And  lest  the  greatness  of  the  revela- 
tions should  exalt  me,  there  was  given 
me  a  sting  of  my  flesh,  an  angel  of  Satan, 
to  buffet  me. 

8  For  which  thing  thrice  I  besought  the 
Lord,  that  it  might  depart  from  me. 

9  And  he  said  to  me :  My  grace  is  suffi- 
cient for  thee :  for  power  is  made  perfect 
in  infirmity.  Gladly  therefore  will  I  glory 
in  my  infirmities,  that  the  power  of  Christ 
may  dwell  in  me. 

10  For  which  cause  I  please  myself  in 
rny  infirmities,  in  reproaches,  in  necessi- 
ties, in  persecutions,  in  distresses,  for 
Christ.  For  when  I  am  weak,  then  am  I 
powerful. 

11  I  am  become  foolish:  you  have  com- 
pelled me.  For  I  ought  to  have  been 
commended  by  you :  for  I  have  no  way 
come  short  of  them  that  are  above  meas- 
ure apostles,  although  I  be  nothing, 

12  Yet  the  signs  of  my  apostleship  have 
been  wrought  on  you,  in  all  patience,  in 
signs,  and  wonders,  and  mighty  deeds. 

13  For  what  is  there  that  you  have  had 
less  than  the  other  churches,  but  that  I 
myself  was  not  burthensome  to  you? 
Pardon  me  this  injury. 

14  Behold  now  the  third  time  I  am 
ready  to  come  to  you ;  and  I  will  not  be 
burthensome  unto  you.  For  I  seek  not 
the  things  that  are  yours,  but  you.  For 
neither  ought  the  children  to  lay  up  for 
the  parents,  but  the  parents  for  the  chil- 
dren. 

15  But  I  most  gladly  will  spend  and  be 
spent  myself  for  your  souls ;  although 
loving  you  more,  I  be  loved  less. 

16  But  be  it  so :  I  did  not  burthen  you : 
but  being  crafty,  I  caught  you  by  guile. 

17  Did  I  overreach  you  by  any  of  them 
whom  I  sent  to  you?

17  Did  I  make  a  gain  of  you  by  any  of 
them  whom  I  sent  unto  you? 

18  I  desired  Titus,  and  with  him  I 
sent  a  brother.  Did  Titus  make  a  gain 
of  you  ?  walked  we  not  in  the  same  spirit  ? 
walked  we  not  in  the  same  steps? 

19  Again,  think  ye  that  we  excuse  our- 
selves unto  you?  we  speak  before  God  in 
Christ:  but  we  do  all  things,  dearly  be- 
loved, for  your  edifying. 

20  For  I  fear,  lest,  when  I  come,  I 
shall  not  find  you  such  as  I  would,  and 
that  I  shall  be  found  unto  you  such  as 
ye  would  not :  lest  there  be  debates,  envy- 
ings,  wraths,  strifes,  backbitings,  whis- 
perings, swellings,  tumults : 

21  And  lest,  when  *I  come  again,  my 
God  will  humble  me  among  you,  and  that 
I  shall  bewail  many  which  have  sinned 
already,  and  have  not  repented  of  the  un- 
cleanness  and  fornication  and'  lascivious- 
ness  which  they  have  committed. 


CHAPTER  13. 

THIS  is  the  third  time  I  am  com- 
ing to  you.  In  the  mouth  of  two  or 
three  witnesses  shall  every  word  be  estab- 
lished. 

2  I  told  you  before,  and  foretell  you, 
as  if  I  were  present,  the  second  time; 
and  being  absent  now  I  write  to  them 
which  heretofore  have  sinned,  and  to  all 
other,  that,  if  I  come  again,  I  will  not 
spare : 

3  Since  ye  seek  a  proof  of  Christ  speak- 
ing in  me,  which  to  you-ward  is  not  weak, 
but  is  mighty  in  you. 

4  For  though  he  was  crucified  through 
weakness,  yet  he  liveth  by  the  power  of 
God.  For  we  also  are  weak  in  him,  but 
we  shall  live  with  him  by  the  power  of 
God  toward  you. 

5  Examine  yourselves,  whether  ye  be 
in  the  faith ;  prove  your  own  selves. 
Know  ye  not  your  own  selves,  how  that 
Jesus  Christ  is  in  you,  except  ye  be  rep- 
robates ?

we  are  not  reprobates.

take  advantage  of  you  by  any  one 
of  them  whom  I  have  sent  unto

sent  the  brother  with  him.  Did 
Titus  take  any  advantage  of  you? 
walked  we  not  by  the  same  Spirit? 
walked  we  not  in  the  same  steps? 
19  Ye  think  all  this  time  that 
we  are  excusing  ourselves  unto  you. 
In  the  sight  of  God  speak  we  in 
Christ.  But  all  things,  beloved, 
are  for  your  edifying.  20  For  I 
fear,  lest  by  any  means,  when  I 
come,  I  should  find  you  not  such 
as  I  would,  and  should  myself  be 
found  of  you  such  as  ye  would  not; 
lest  by  any  means  there  should  be 
strife,  jealousy,  wraths,  factions, 
backbitings,  whisperings,  swell- 
ings, tumults ;  21  lest,  when  I  come 
again,  my  God  should  humble  me 
before  you,  and  I  should  mourn  for 
many  of  them  that  have  sinned 
heretofore,  and  repented  not  of  the 
uncleanness  and  fornication  and 
lasciviousness  which  they  com- 
mitted.

tions, envyings,  animosities,  dissensions, 
detractions,  whisperings,  swellings,  sedi- 
tions, be  among  you. 

21  Lest  again,  when  I  come,  God  hum- 
ble me  among  you :  and  I  mourn  many 
of  them  that  sinned  before,  and  have 
not  done  penance  for  the  uncleanness, 
and  fornication,  and  lasciviousness.  that 
they  have  committed. 


CHAPTER  13. 

BEHOLD,  this  is  the  third  time  I  am

stand. 

2  I  have  told  before,  and  foretell,  as 
present,  and  now  absent,  to  them  that 
sinned  before,  and  to  all  the  rest,  that  if 
I  come  again,  I  will  not  spare. 

3  Do  you  seek  a  proof  of  Christ  that 
speaketh  in  me,  who  towards  you  is  not 
weak,  but  is  mighty  in  you? 

4  For  although  he  was  crucified  through 
weakness,  yet  he  liveth  by  the  power  of 
God.  For  we  also  are  weak  in  him:  but 
we  shall  live  with  him  by  the  power  of 
God  towards  you. 

5  Try  your  own  selves  if  you  be  in  the 
faith ;  prove  ye  yourselves.  Know  you 
not  your  own  selves,  that  Christ  Jesus  is 
in  you,  unless  perhaps  you  be  repro- 
bates ? 

6  But  I  trust  that  you  shall  know  that 
we  are  not  reprobates. 

7  Now  we  pray  God,  that  you  may  do 
no  evil,  not  that  we  may  appear  approved,

7  Now  I  pray  to  God  that  ye  do  no  evil ; 
not  that  we  should  appear  approved,  but 
that  ye  should  do  that  which  is  honest, 
though  we  be  as  reprobates. 

8  For  we  can  do  nothing  against  the 
truth,  but  for  the  truth. 

9  For  we  are  glad,  when  we  are  weak, 
and  ye  are  strong:  and  this  also  we 
wish,  even  your  perfection. 

10  Therefore  I  write  these  things  be-

sharpness,  according  to  the  power  which 
the  Lord  hath  given  me  to  edification,  and 
not  to  destruction.

fect, be  of  good  comfort,  be  of  one  mind, 
live  in  peace;  and  the  God  of  love  and 
peace  shall  be  with  you.

that  we  may  appear  approved,  but 
that  ye  may  do  that  which  is  honor- 
able, though  we  be  as  reprobate. 
8  For  we  can  do  nothing  against  the

8  But  though  we,  or  an  angel  from 
heaven,  preach  any  other  gospel  unto  you 
than  that  which  we  have  preached  unto 
you,  let  him  be  accursed. 

9  As  we  said  before,  so  say  I  now 
again.  If  any  man  preach  any  other  gos- 
pel unto  you  than  that  ye  have  received, 
let  him  be  accursed. 

ID  For  do  I  now  persuade  men,  or 
God?  or  do  I  seek  to  please  men?  for  if 
I  yet  pleased  men,  I  should  not  be  the 
servant  of  Christ. 

11  But  I  certify  you,  brethren,  that  the 
gospel  which  was  preached  of  me  is  not 
after  man. 

12  For  I  neither  received  it  of  man, 
neither  was  I  taught  it,  but  by  the  revela- 
tion of  Jesus  Christ. 

13  For  ye  have  heard  of  my  conversa- 
tion in  time  past  in  the  Jews'  religion, 
how  that  beyond  measure  I  persecuted 
the  church  of  God,  and  wasted  it: 

14  And  profited  in  the  Jews'  religion 
above  many  my  equals  in  mine  own  na- 
tion, being  more  exceedingly  zealous  of 
the  traditions  of  my  fathers. 

15  But  when  it  pleased  God,  who  sep- 
arated me  from  my  mother's  womb,  and 
called  me  by  his  grace, 

16  To  reveal  his  Son  in  me,  that  I 
might  preach  him  among  the  heathen; 
immediately  I  conferred  not  with  flesh 
and  blood : 

17  Neither  went  I  up  to  Jerusalem  to 
them  which  were  apostles  before  me ;  but 
I  went  into  Arabia,  and  returned  again 
unto-  Damascus. 

18  Then  after  three  years  I  went  up 
to  Jerusalem  to  see  Peter,  and  abode 
with  him  fifteen  days. 

19  But  other  of  the  apostles  saw  I 
none,  save  James  the  Lord's  brother. 

20  Now  the  things  which  I  write  unto 
you,  behold,  before  God,  I  lie  not. 

21  Afterwards  I  came  into  the  regions 
of   Syria  and  Cilicia ; 

22  And  was  unknown  by  face  unto  the 
churches  of  Judaea  which  were  in  Christ: 

23  But  they  had  heard  only,  That  he

stroyed.

did  I  receive  it  from  man,  nor  was

ner of  life  in  time  past  in  the  Jews'

my  •  countrymen,  being  more  '  ex-

his  grace,  16  to  reveal  his  Son  in

THEN  fourteen  years  after  I  went  up 
again    to   Jerusalem    with    Barnabas, 
and  took  Titus  with  me  also. 

2  And  I  went  up  by  revelation,  and 
communicated  unto  them  that  gospel 
which  I  preach  among  the  Gentiles,  but 
privately  to  them  which  were  of  reputa- 
tion, lest  by  any  means  I  should  run,  or 
had  run,  in  vain, 

3  But  neither  Titus,  who  was  with  me, 
being  a  Greek,  was  compelled  to  be  cir- 
cumcised : 

4  And  that  because  of  false  brethren 
unawares  brought  in,  who  came  in  privily 
to  spy  out  our  liberty  which  we  have  in 
Christ  Jesus,  that  they  might  bring  us 
into  bondage : 

5  To  whom  we  gave  place  by  subjec- 
tion, no,  not  for  an  hour;  that  the  truth 
of  the  gospel  might  continue  with  you. 

6  But  of  these  who  seemed  to  be  some- 
what, (whatsoever  they  were,  it  maketh 
no  matter  to  me:  God  accepteth  no  man's 
person:)  for  they  who  seemed  to  be 
somewhat  in  conference  added  nothing 
to  me : 

7  But  contrariwise,  when  they  saw  that 
the  gospel  of  the  uncircumcision  was  com- 
mitted unto  me,  as  the  gospel  of  the  cir- 
cumcision was  unto  Peter ; 

8  (For  he  that  wrought  effectually  in 
Peter  to  the  apostleship  of  the  circum- 
cision, the  same  was  mighty  in  me  toward 
the  Gentiles :) 

9  And  when  James,  Cephas,  and  John, 
who  seemed  to  be  pillars,  perceived  the 
grace  that  was  given  unto  me,  they  gave 
to  me  and  Barnabas  the  right  hands  of 
fellowship;  that  we  should  go  unto  the 
heathen,  and  they   unto  the  circumcision. 

10  Only  they  tvould  that  we  should  re- 
member the  poor ;  the  same  which  I  also 
was  forward  to  do. 

11  But  when  Peter  was  come  to  Anti- 
och,  I  withstood  him  to  the  face,  because 
he  was  to  be  blamed. 

12  For  before  that  certain  came  from 
James,  he  did  eat  with  the  Gentiles:  but 
when  they  were  come,  he  withdrew  and 
separated  himself,  fearing  them  which 
were  of  the  circumcision. 

13  And  the  other  Jews  dissembled  like- 
wise with  him ;  insomuch  that  Barnabas 
also  was  carried  away  with  their  dis- 
simulation.

not   uprightly   according  to  the   truth   of

2  X  teen  years  I  went  up  again 
to  Jerusalem  with  Barnabas,  tak- 
ing Titus  also  with  me.  2  And 
I  went  up  by  revelation ;  and  I  laid 
before  them  the  gospel  which  I 
preach  among  the  Gentiles,  but  pri- 
vately before  them  who  were  of 
repute,  lest  by  any  means  I  should 
be    running,    or    had    run,    in    vain. 

3  But  not  even  Titus  who  was  with 
me,  being  a  Greek,  was  compelled 
to  be  circumcised :  4  and  that  be- 
cause of  the  false  brethren  privily 
brought  in,  who  came  in  privily 
to  spy  out  our  liberty  which  we 
have  in  Christ  Jesus,  that  they 
might  bring  us  into  bondage :  5  to 
whom  we  gave  place  in  the  way 
of  subjection,  no,  not  for  an  hour; 
that  the  truth  of  the  gospel  might 
continue  with  you.  6  But  from 
those  who  were  reputed  to  be 
somewhat  (whatsoever  they  were, 
it  maketh  no  matter  to  me :  God 
accepteth  not  man's  person) — they, 
I  say,  who  were  of  repute  imparted 
nothing  to  me :  7  but  contrariwise, 
when  they  saw  that  I  had  been  in- 
structed with  the  gospel  of  the  un- 
circumcision, even  as  Peter  with 
the  gospel  of  the  circumcision  8 
(for  he  that  wrought  for  Peter 
unto  the  apostleship  of  the  circum- 
cision wrought  for  me  also  unto 
the  Gentiles)  ;  9  and  when  they  per- 
ceived the  grace  that  was  given 
unto  me,  James  and  Cephas  and 
John,  they  who  were  reputed  to 
be  pillars,  gave  to  me  and  Barnabas 
the  right  hands  of  fellowship,  that 
we  should  go  unto  the  Gentiles, 
and  they  unto  the  circumcision ;  10 
only  they  would  that  we  should  re- 
member the  poor ;  which  very  thing 
I  was  also  zealous  to  do.

Antioch,  I  resisted  him  to  the  face, 
because  he  stood  condemned.  12 
For  before  that  certain  came  from 
James,  he  did  eat  with  the  Gentiles : 
but  when  they  came,  he  drew  back 
and  separated  himself,  fearing  them 
that  were  of  the  circumcision.  13 
And  the  rest  of  the  Jews  dissem- 
bled likewise  with  him ;  insomuch 
that  even  Barnabas  was  carried 
away  with  their  dissimulation.  14

pute imparted  nothing  to  me:  7  but 
contrariwise,  when  they  saw  that  I 
had  been  intrusted  with  the  gospel 
of  the  uncircumcision,  even  as 
Peter  with  the  gospel  of  the  cir- 
cumcision 8  (for  he  that  wrought 
for  Peter  unto  the  apostleship  of

also  unto  the  Gentiles)  ;  9  and  when 
they  perceived  the  grace  that  was

CHAPTER  2. 

THEN,  after  fourteen  years,  I  went  up 
again    to    Jerusalem    with    Barnabas, 
taking  Titus  also  with  me. 

2  And  I  went  up  according  to  revela- 
tion; and  communicated  to  them  the  gos- 
pel, which  I  preach  among  the  Gentiles, 
but  apart  to  them  who  seemed  to  be 
some  thing:  lest  perhaps  I  should  run, 
or  had  run  in  vain. 

3  But  neither  Titus,  who  was  with  me, 
being  a  Gentile,  was  compelled  to  be  cir- 
cumcised. 

4  But  because  of  false  brethren  un- 
awares brought  in,  who  came  in  privately 
to  spy  our  liberty,  which  we  have  in 
Christ  Jesus,  that  they  might  bring  us 
into  servitude. 

5  To  whom  we  yielded  not  by  subjec- 
tion, no  not  for  an  hour,  that  the  truth 
of  the  gospel  might  continue  with  you. 

6  But  of  them  who  seemed  to  be  some 
thing,  (what  they  were  some  time,  it  is 
nothing  to  me,  God  accepteth  not  the  per- 
son of  man,)  for  to  me  they  that  seemed 
to  be  some  thing  added  nothing. 

7  But  contrariwise,  when  they  had  seen 
that  to  me  was  committed  the  gospel  of 
the  uncircumcision,  as  to  Peter  was  that 
of  the  circumcision. 

8  (For  he  who  wrought  in  Peter  to  the 
apostleship  of  the  circumcision,  wrought 
in  me  also  among  the   Gentiles.) 

9  And  when  they  had  known  the  grace 
that  was  given  to  me,  James  and  Cephas 
and  John,  who  seemed  to  be  pillars,  gave 
to  me  and  Barnabas  the  right  hands  of 
fellowship :  that  we  should  go  unto  the 
Gentiles,  and  they  unto  the  circumcision : 

10  Only  that  we  should  be  mindful  of 
the  poor:  which  same  thing  also  I  was 
careful  to  do. 

11  But  when  Cephas  was  come  to  An- 
tioch, I  withstood  him  to  the  face,  be- 
cause he  was  to  be  blamed. 

12  For  before  that  some  came  from 
James,  he  did  eat  with  the  Gentiles :  but 
when  they  were  come,  he  withdrew  and 
separated  himself,  fearing  them  who  were 
of  the  circumcision. 

13  And  to  his  dissimulation  the  rest  of 
the  Jews  consented,  so  that  Barnabas  also 
was  led  by  them  into  that  dissimulation. 

14  But  when  I  saw  that  they  walked  not 
uprightly  unto  the  truth  of  the  gospel,  I 
said  to  Cephas  before  them  all:  li  thou, 
being  a  Jew,  livest  after  the  manner  of  the 
Gentiles,   and  not  as   the  Jews   do,  how

the  gospel,  I  said  unto  Peter  before  them 
all,  If  thou,  being  a  Jew,  livest  after  the 
manner  of  Gentiles,  and  not  as  do  the 
Jews,  why  compellest  thou  the  Gentiles 
to  live  as  do  the  Jews? 

15  We  who  are  Jews  by  nature,  and  not 
sinners  of  the  Gentiles, 

16  Knowing  that  a  man  is  not  justified 
by  the  works  of  the  law,  but  by  the  faith 
of  Jesus  Christ,  even  we  have  believed  in 
Jesus  Christ,  that  we  might  be  justified  by 
the  faith  of  Christ,  and  not  by  the  works 
of  the  law ;  for  by  the  works  of  the  law 
shall  no  flesh  be  justified. 

17  But  if,  while  we  seek  to  be  justified 
by  Christ,  we  ourselves  also  are  found 
sinners,  is  therefore  Christ  the  minister 
of  sin?  God  forbid. 

18  For  if  I  build  again  the  things  which 
I  destroyed,  I  make  myself  a  transgressor. 

19  For  I  through  the  law  am  dead  to 
the  law,  that  I  might  live  unto  God. 

20  I  am  crucified  with  Christ :  neverthe- 
less I  live;  yet  not  I,  but  Christ  liveth 
in  me:  and  the  life  which  I  now  live 
in  the  flesh  I  live  by  the  faith  of  the  Son 
of  God,  who  loved  me,  and  gave  himself 
for  me. 

21  I  do  not  frustrate  the  grace  of  God: 
for  if  righteousness  come  by  the  law,  then 
Christ  is  dead  in  vain. 


CHAPTER  3. 

O  FOOLISH  Galatians,  who  hath  be- 
witched you,  that  ye  should  not  obey 
the  truth,  before  whose  eyes  Jesus  Christ 
hath  been  evidently  set  forth,  crucified 
among   you? 

2  This  only  would  I  learn  of  you,  Re- 
ceived ye  the  Spirit  by  the  works  of  the 
law,  or  by  the  hearing  of  faith? 

3  Are  ye  so  foolish?  having  begun  in 
the  Spirit,  are  ye  now  made  perfect  by 
the  flesh? 

4  Have  ye  suffered  so  many  things  in 
vain?  if  it  he  yet  in  vain. 

5  He  therefore  that  ministereth  to  you 
the  Spirit,  and  worketh  miracles  among 
you,  doeth  he  it  by  the  works  of  the  law, 
or  by  the  hearing  of  faith? 

6  Even  as  Abraham  believed  God,  and 
it  was  accounted  to  him  for  righteous- 
ness. 

7  Know  ye  therefore  that  they  which 


not  uprightly  according  to  the 
truth  of  the  gospel,  I  said  unto 
Cephas  before  them  all,  If  thou, 
being  a  Jew,  livest  as  do  the  Gen- 
tiles, and  not  as  do  the  Jews,  how 
compellest  thou  the  Gentiles  to  live 
as  do  the  Jews?  15  We  being  Jews 
by  nature,  and  not  sinners  of  the 
Gentiles,  16  yet  knowing  that  a  man 
is  not  justified  by  the  works  of 
the  law,  save  through  faith  in  Jesus 
Christ,  even  we  believed  on  Christ 
Jesus,  that  we  might  be  justified 
by  faith  in  Christ,  and  not  by  the 
works  of  the  law :  because  by  the 
works  of  the  law  shall  no  flesh 
be  justified.  17  But  if,  while  we 
sought  to  be  justified  in  Christ,  we 
ourselves  also  were  found  sinners, 
is  Christ  a  minister  of  sin?  God 
forbid.  18  For  if  I  build  up  again 
those  things  which  I  destroyed,  I 
prove  myself  a  transgressor.  19 
For  I  through  the  law  died  unto 
the  law,  that  I  might  live  unto  God. 
20  I  have  been  crucified  with 
Christ;  yet  I  live;  and  yet  no 
longer  I,  but  Christ  liveth  in  me : 
and  that  life  which  I  now  live  in 
the  flesh  I  live  in  faith,  the  faith 
which  is  in  the  Son  of  God,  who 
loved  me,  and  gave  himself  up  for 
me.  21  I  do  not  make  void  the 
gfrace  of  God :  for  if  righteousness 
is  through  the  law,  then  Christ  died 
for  nought. 

r\  FOOLISH  Galatians,  who

ye  the  Spirit  by  the  works  of  the 
law,  or  by  the  hearing  of  faith?

in  the  Spirit,  are  ye  now  perfected

many  things  in  vain?  if  it  be  indeed

of  the  gospel,  I  said  unto  Cephas

Jew,  livest  as  do  the  Gentiles,  and 
not  as  do  the  Jews,  how  compellest 
thou  the  Gentiles  to  live  as  do  the 
Jews?  15  We  being  Jews  by  na- 
ture, and  not  sinners  of  the  Gen- 
tiles, 16  yet  knowing  that  a  man 
is  not  justified  by  the  works  of 
the  law  but  through  faith  in  Jesus

is  in  the  Son  of  God,  who  loved

21  I  do  not  make  void  the  grace

in  the  flesh?  4  Did  ye  suffer  so 
many  things  in  vain?  if  it  be  in-

supplieth  to  you  the  Spirit,  and 
worketh  miracles  among  you,  doeth 
he  it  by  the  works  of  the  law,  or 
by  the  hearing  of  faith?  6  Even 
as  Abraham  believed  God,  and  it

the  scripture,   foreseeing  that   God 


dost  thou  compel  the  Gentiles  to  live  as 
do  the  Jews? 

15  We  by  nature  are  Jews,  and  not  of 
the  Gentiles  sinners. 

16  But  knowing  that  man  is  not  justified 
by  the  works  of  the  law,  but  by  the  faith 
of  Jesus  Christ ;  we  also  believe  in  Christ 
Jesus,  that  we  may  be  justified  by  the 
faith  of  Christ,  and  not  by  the  works  of 
the  law:  because  by  the  works  of  the  law 
no  flesh  shall  be  justified. 

17  But  if  while  we  seek  to  be  justified 
in  Christ,  we  ourselves  also  are  found 
sinners;  is  Christ  then  the  minister  of 
sin?  God  forbid. 

18  For  if  I  build  up  again  the  things 
which  I  have  destroyed,  I  make  myself  a 
prevaricator. 

19  For  I,  through  the  law,  am  dead  to 
the  law,  that  I  may  live  to  God:  with 
Christ  I  am  nailed  to  the  cross. 

20  And  I  live,  now  not  I ;  but  Christ 
liveth  in  me.  And  that  I  live  now  in

of  God,  who  loved  me,  and  delivered

For  if  justice  he  by  the  law,  then  Christ

CHAPTER  3. 

O  SENSELESS  Galatians,  who  hath 
bewitched  you  that  you  should  not 
obey  the  truth,  before  whose  eyes  Je- 
sus Christ  hath  been  set  forth,  crucified 
among  you? 

2  This  only  would  I  learn  of 
you :  Did  you  receive  the  Spirit  by  the 
works  of  the  law,  or  by  the  hearing  of 
faith? 

3  Are  you  so  foolish,  that,  whereas  you 
began  in  the  Spirit,  you  would  now  be 
made  perfect  by  the  flesh? 

4  Have  you  suffered  so  great  things  in 
vain?     If  it  be  yet  in  vain. 

5  He  therefore  who  giveth  to  you  the 
Spirit,  and  worketh  miracles  among  you; 
doth  he  do  it  by  the  works  of  the  law,  or 
by  the  hearing  of  the  faith? 

6  As  it  is  written:  Abraham  believed 
God,  and  it  was  reputed  to  him  unto  jus- 
tice. 

7  Know  ye  therefore,  that  they  who  are 


3o6     AUTHORIZED 


GALATIANS,  3. 


REVISED 


are  of   faith,   the   same  are   the  children 
of  Abraham. 

8  And  the  scripture,  foreseeing  that 
God  would  justify  the  heathen  through 
faith,  preached  before  the  gospel  unto 
Abraham,  saying.  In  thee  shall  all  nations 
be  blessed. 

9  So  then. they  which  be  of  faith  are 
blessed  with  faithful  Abraham. 

10  For  as  many  as  are  of  the  works  of 
the  law  are  under  the  curse :  for  it  is 
written,  Cursed  is  every  one  that  continu- 
eth  not  in  all  things  which  are  written 
in  the  book  of  the  law  to  do  them. 

11  But  that  no  man  is  justified  by  the 
law  in  the  sight  of  God,  it  is  evident :  for, 
The  just  shall  live  by  faith. 

12  And  the  law  is  not  of  faith:  but, 
The  man  that  doeth  them  shall  live  in 
them. 

13  Christ  hath  redeemed  us  from  the 
curse  of  the  law,  being  made  a  curse  for 
us:  for  it  is  written,  Cursed  is  every  one 
that  hangeth  on  a  tree: 

14  That  the  blessing  of  Abraham  might 
come  on  the  Gentiles  through  Jesus 
Christ;  that  we  might  receive  the  promise 
of  the  Spirit  through  faith. 

15  Brethren,  I  speak  after  the  manner 
of  men ;  Though  it  be  but  a  man's  cove- 
nant, yet  if  it  be  confirmed,  no  man  dis- 
annulleth,  or  addeth  thereto. 

16  Now  to  Abraham  and  his  seed  were 
the  promises  made.  He  saith  not.  And 
to  seeds,  as  of  many;  but  as  of  one.  And 
to  thy  seed,  which  is  Christ. 

17  And  this  I  say,  that  the  covenant, 
that  was  confirmed  before  of  God  in 
Christ,  the  law,  which  was  four  hundred 
and  thirty  years  after,  cannot  disannul, 
that  it  should  make  the  promise  of  none 
effect. 

18  For  if  the  inheritance  be  of  the  law, 
it  is  no  more  of  promise :  but  God  gave 
it  to  Abraham  by  promise. 

19  Wherefore  then  serveth  the  law?  It 
was  added  because  of  transgressions,  till 
the  seed  should  come  to  whom  the  prom- 
ise was  made ;  and  it  was  ordained  by 
angels  in  the  hand  of  a  mediator. 

20  Now  a  mediator  is  not  a  mediator 
of  one,  but  God  is  one. 

21  Is  the  law  then  against  the  promises 
of  God?  God  forbid:  for  if  there  had 
been  a  law  given  which  could  have  given 
life,  verily  righteousness  should  have 
been  by  the  law. 

22  But  the  scripture  hath  concluded  all 
under   sin,   that  the  promise  by   faith  of 


would  justify  the  Gentiles  by  faith, 
preached  the  gospel  beforehand 
unto  Abraham,  saying,  In  thee 
shall  all  the  nations  be  blessed. 
9  So  then  they  which  be  of  faith 
are  blessed  with  the  faithful  Abra- 
ham. 10  For  as  many  as  are  of 
the  works  of  the  law  are  under 
a  curse:  for  it  is  written,  Cursed 
is  every  one  which  continueth  not 
in  all  things,  that  are  written  in 
the  book  of  the  law,  to  do  them. 
II  Now  that  no  man  is  justified 
by  the  law  in  the  sight  of  God, 
is  evident:  for,  The  righteous  shall 
live  by  faith ;  12  and  the  law  is  not 
of  faith;  but,  He  that  doeth  them 
shall  live  in  them.  13  Christ  re- 
deemed us  from  the  curse  of  the 
law,  having  become  a  curse  for  us : 
for  it  is  written.  Cursed  is  every 
one  that  hangeth  on  a  tree:  14  that 
upon  the  Gentiles  might  come  the 
blessing  of  Abraham  in  Christ  Je- 
sus ;  that  we  might  receive  the 
promise  of  the  Spirit  through  faith. 
15  Brethren,  I  speak  after  the 
manner  of  men :  Though  it  be  but 
a  man's  covenant,  yet  when  it  hath 
been  confirmed,  no  one  maketh  it 
void,  or  addeth  thereto.  16  Now 
to  Abraham  were  the  promises 
spoken,  and  to  his  seed.  He  saith 
not.  And  to  seeds,  as  of  many ;  but 
as  of  one.  And  to  thy  seed,  which 
is  Christ.  17  Now  this  I  say;  A 
covenant  confirmed  beforehand  by 
God,  the  law,  which  came  four  hun- 
dred and  thirty  years  after,  doth 
not  disannul,  so  as  to  make  the 
promise  of  none  effect.  18  For  if 
the  inheritance  is  of  the  law,  it  is 
no  more  of  promise:  but  God  hath 
granted  it  to  Abraham  by  promise. 
19  What  then  is  the  law?  It  was 
added  because  of  transgressions,  till 
the  seed  should  come  to  whom  the 
promise  hath  been  made;  and  it 
was  ordained  through  angels  by  the 
hand  of  a  mediator.  20  Now  a 
mediator  is  not  a  mediator  of  one ; 
but  God  is  one.  21  Is  the  law  then 
against  the  promises  of  God?  God 
forbid :  for  if  there  had  been  a 
law  given  which  could  make  alive, 
verily  righteousness  would  have 
been  of  the  law.  22  Howbeit  the 
scripture  hath  shut  up  all  things 
under  sin,  that  the  promise  by  faith

would  justify  the  Gentiles  by  faith, 
preached  the  gospel  beforehand  un- 
to Abraham,  saying,  In  thee  shall 
all  the  nations  be  blessed.  9  So 
then  they  that  are  of  faith  are 
blessed  with  the  faithful  Abraham. 
10  For  as  many  as  are  of  the  works 
of  the  law  are  under  a  curse :  for 
it  is  written,  Cursed  is  every  one 
who  continueth  not  in  all  things 
that  are  written  in  the  book  of  the 
law,  to  do  them.  11  Now  that  no 
man  is  justified  by  the  law  before 
God,  is  evident :  for,  The  righteous 
shall  Hve  by  faith ;  12  and  the  law 
is  not  of  faith ;  but,  He  that  doeth 
them  shall  live  in  them.  13  Christ 
redeemed  us  from  the  curse  of  the 
law,,  having  become  a  curse  for  us ; 
for  it  is  written,  Cursed  is  every 
one  that  hangeth  on  a  tree :  14  that 
upon  the  Gentiles  might  come  the 
blessing  of  Abraham  in  Christ 
Jesus;  that  we  might  receive  the 
promise  of  the  Spirit  through 
faith. 

15  Brethren,  I  speak  after  the 
manner  of  men:  Though  it  be  but 
a  man's  covenant,  yet  when  it  hath 
been  confirmed,  no  one  maketh  it 
void,  or  addeth  thereto.  16  Now  to 
Abraham  were  the  promises  spoken, 
and  to  his  seed.  He  saith  not,  And 
to  seeds,  as  of  many;  but  as  of 
one.  And  to  thy  seed,  which  is 
Christ.  17  Now  this  I  say :  A  cove- 
nant confirmed  beforehand  by  God, 
the  law,  which  came  four  hundred 
and  thirty  years  after,  doth  not 
disannul,  so  as  to  make  the  prom- 
ise of  none  effect.  18  For  if  the 
inheritance  is  of  the  law,  it  is  no 
more  of  promise:  but  God  hath 
granted  it  to  Abraham  by  promise. 
19  What  then  is  the  law?  It  was 
added  because  of  transgressions, 
till  the  seed  should  come  to  whom 
the  promise  hath  been  made;  and 
it  was  ordained  through  angels  by 
the  hand  of  a  mediator.  20  Now 
a  mediator  is  not  a  mediator  o£ 
one;  but  God  is  one.  21  Is  the 
law  then  against  the  promises  of 
God?  God  forbid:  for  if  there  had 
been  a  law  given  which  could  make 
alive,  verily  righteousness  would 
have  been  of  the  law.  22  But  the 
scripture  shut  up  all  things  under 
sin,    that   the   promise    by    faith    in 


of    faith,   the    same    are  the   children   of 
Abraham. 

8  And  the  scripture,  foreseeing,  that 
God  justifieth  the  Gentiles  by  faith,  told 
unto  Abraham  before:  In  thee  shall  all 
nations  be  blessed. 

9  Therefore  they  that  are  of  faith,  shall 
be  blessed  with  faithful  Abraham. 

10  For  as  many  as  are  of  the  works  of 
the  law,  are  under  a  curse.  For  it  is 
written :  Cursed  is  every  one,  that  abideth 
not  in  all  things,  which  are  written  in  the 
book  of  the  law  to  do  them. 

11  But  that  in  the  law  no  man  is  justi- 
fied with  God,  it  is  manifest:  because 
the  just  man  liveth  by  faith. 

12  But  the  law  is  not  of  faith :  but.  He 
that  doth  those  things,  shall  live  in 
them. 

13  Christ  hath  redeemed  us  from  the 
curse  of  the  law,  being  made  a  curse  for 
us ;  for  it  is  written :  Cursed  is  every  one 
that  hangeth  on  a  tree: 

14  That  the  blessing  of  Abraham  might 
come  on  the  Gentiles  through  Christ 
Jesus:  that  we  may  receive  the  promise 
of  the  Spirit  by  faith. 

15  Brethren  (I  speak  after  the  manner 
of  man,)  yet  a  man's  testament,  if  it  be 
confirmed,  no  man  despiseth,  nor  addeth 
to  it. 

16  To  Abraham  were  the  promises  made 
and  to  his  seed.  He  saith  not.  And  to  his 
seeds,  as  of  many:  but  as  of  one,  And  to 
thy  seed,  which  is  Christ. 

17  Now  this  I  say,  that  the  testament 
which  was  confirmed  by  God,  the  law 
which  was  made  after  four  hundred  and 
thirty  years,  doth  not  disannul,  to  make 
the  promise  of  no  effect. 

18  For  if  the  inheritance  be  of  the  law, 
it  is  no  more  of  promise.  But  God  gave 
it  to  Abraham  by  promise. 

19  Why  then  was  the  law?  It  was  set 
because  of  transgressions,  until  the  seed 
should  come,  to  whom  he  made  the  prom- 
ise, being  ordained  by  angels  in  the  hand 
of  a  mediator. 

20  Now  a  mediator  is  not  of  one :  but 
God  is  one. 

21  Was  the  law  then  against  the  prom- 
ises of  God?  God  forbid.  For  if  there 
had  been  a  law  given  which  could  give 
life,  verily  justice  should  have  been  by 
the  law. 

22  But  the  scripture  hath  concluded  all 
under  sin,  that  the  promise,  by  the  faith 
of  Jesus  Christ,  might  be  given  to  them 
that  believe.

believe. 

23  But  before  faith  came,  we  were  kept 
under  the  law,  shut  up  unto  the  faith 
which  should  afterwards  be   revealed. 

24  Wherefore  the  law  was  our  school- 
master to  bring  us  unto  Christ,  that  we 
might  be  justified  by  faith. 

25  But  after  that  faith  is  come,  ye  are 
no  longer  under  a  schoolmaster. 

26  For  ye  are  all  the  children  of  God  by 
faith  in  Christ  Jesus. 

27  For  as  many  of  you  as  have  been 
baptized  into  Christ  have  put  on  Christ. 

28  There  is  neither  Jew  nor  Greek, 
there  is  neither  bond  nor  free,  there  is 
neither  male  nor  female :  for  ye  are  all 
one   in   Christ  Jesus. 

29  And  if  ye  be  Christ's,  then  are  ye 
Abraham's  seed,  and  heirs  according  to 
the  promise. 

CHAPTER  4. 

NOW  I  say,  That  the  heir,  as  long  as 
he  is  a  child,  differeth  nothing  from 
a  servant,  though  he  be  lord  of  all; 

2  But  is  under  tutors  and  governors 
until  the  time  appointed  of  the  father. 

3  Even  so  we,  when  we  were  children, 
were  in  bondage  under  the  elements  of 
the  world: 

4  But  when  the  fulness  of  the  time  was 
come,  God  sent  forth  his  Son,  made  of 
a  woman,  made  under  the  law, 

5  To  redeem  them  that  were  under  the 
law,  that  we  might  receive  the  adoption 
of  sons. 

6  And  because  ye  are  sons,  God  hath 
sent  forth  the  Spirit  of  his  Son  into  your 
hearts,   crying,   Abba,   Father. 

7  Wherefore  thou  art  no  more  a 
servant,  but  a  son ;  and  if  a  son,  then  an 
heir  of  God  through  Christ. 

8  Howbeit  then,  when  ye  knew  not 
God,  ye  did  service  unto  them  which  by 
nature  are  no  gods. 

9  But  now,  after  that  ye  have  known 
God,  or  rather  are  known  of  God,  how 
turn  ye  again  to  the  weak  and  beggarly 
elements,  whereunto  ye  desire  again  to  be 
in  bondage? 

ID  Ye  observe  days,  and  months,  and 
times,  and  years. 

11  I  am  afraid  of  you,  lest  I  have  be- 
stowed upon  you  labour  in  vain. 

12  Brethren,  I  beseech  you,  be  as  I  am; 
for  I  am  as  ye  are:  ye  have  not  injured 
me  at  all. 


in  Jesus  Christ  might  be  given  to

23  But  before  faith  came,  we 
were  kept  in  ward  under  the  law, 
shut  up  unto  the  faith  which 
should  afterwards  be  revealed.  24 
So  that  the  law  hath  been  our  tutor 
to  bring  us  unto  Christ,  that  we 
might  be  justified  by  faith.  25  But 
now  that  faith  is  come,  we  are  no 
longer  under  a  tutor.  26  For  ye 
are  all  sons  of  God,  through  faith, 
in  Christ  Jesus.  27  For  as  many  of 
you  as  were  baptized  into  Christ 
did  put  on  Christ.  28  There  can  be 
neither  Jew  nor  Greek,  there  can 
be  neither  bond  nor  free,  there  can 
be  no  male  and  female :  for  ye  all 
are  one  man  in  Christ  Jesus.  29 
And  if  ye  are  Christ's,  then  are  ye 
Abraham's  seed,  heirs  according  to 
promise.

nothing  from  a  bondservant,  though 
he  is  lord  of  all ;  2  but  is  under 
guardians  and  stewards  until  the 
term  appointed  of  the  father.  3  So 
we  also,  when  we  were  children, 
were  held  in  bondage  under  the 
rudiments  of  the  world :  4  but  when 
the  fulness  of  the  time  came,  God 
sent  forth  his  Son,  born  of  a 
woman,  born  under  the  law,  5  that 
he  might  redeem  them  which  were

because  ye  are  sons,  God  sent  forth

that  thou  art  no  longer  a  bond- 
servant, but  a  son ;  and  if  a  son, 
then  an  heir  through  God.

13  Ye  know  how  through  infirmity  of 
the  flesh  I  preached  the  gospel  unto  you 
at  the  first. 

14  And  my  temptation  which  was  in 
my  flesh  ye  despised  not,  nor  rejected; 
but  received  me  as  an  angel  of  God,  even 
as  Christ  Jesus. 

15  Where  is  then  the  blessedness  ye 
spake  of?  for  I  bear  you  record,  that,  if 
it  had  been  possible,  ye  would  have 
plucked  out  your  own  eyes,  and  have 
given  them  to  me. 

16  Am  I  therefore  become  your  enemy, 
because  I  tell  you  the  truth? 

17  They  zealously  affect  you,  btit  not 
well ;  yea,  they  would  exclude  you,  that  ye 
might  affect  them. 

18  But  it  is  good  to  be  zealously  af- 
fected always  in  a  good  thing,  and  not 
only  when  I  am  present  with  you. 

19  My  little  children,  of  whom  I  travail 
in  birth  again  until  Christ  be  formed  in 
you, 

20  I  desire  to  be  present  with  you  now, 
and  to  change  my  voice;  for  I  stand  in 
doubt  of  you. 

21  Tell  me,  ye  that  desire  to  be  under 
the  law,  do  ye  not  hear  the  law? 

22  For  it  is  written,  that  Abraham  had 
two  sons,  the  one  by  a  bondmaid,  the 
other   by  a   freewoman. 

23  But  he  who  was  of  the  bondwoman 
was  born  after  the  flesh ;  but  he  of  the 
freewoman  zuas  by  promise. 

24  Which  things  are  an  allegory :  for 
these  are  the  two  covenants ;  the  one  from 
the  mount  Sinai,  which  gendereth  to  bond- 
age, which  is  Agar. 

25  For  this  Agar  is  mount  Sinai  in 
Arabia,  and  answereth  to  Jerusalem 
which  now  is,  and  is  in  bondage  with  her 
children. 

26  But  Jerusalem  which  is  above  is 
free,  which  is  the  mother  of  us  all. 

27  For  it  is  written,  Rejoice,  thou  barren 
that  bearest  not ;  break  forth  and  cry,  thou 
that  travailest  not :  for  the  desolate  hath 
many  more  children  than  she  which  hath 
an  husband. 

28  Now  we,  brethren,  as  Isaac  was,  are 
the  children  of  promise. 

29  But  as  then  he  that  was  born  after 
the  flesh  persecuted  him  that  was  born 
after  the  Spirit,  even  so  it  is  now. 

30  Nevertheless  what  saith  the  scrip- 
ture? Cast  out  the  bondwoman  and  her 
son :  for  the  son  of  the  bondwoman  shall 
not  be  heir  with  the  son  of  the  free-

I  am,  for  I  am  as  ye  are.  Ye  did 
me  no  wrong:  13  but  ye  know  that 
because  of  an  infirmity  of  the  flesh 
I  preached  the  gospel  unto  you  the 
first  time:  14  and  that  which  was 
a  temptation  to  you  in  my  flesh  ye 
despised  not,  nor  rejected;  but  ye 
received  me  as  an  angel  of  God, 
even  as  Christ  Jesus.  15  Where 
then  is  that  gratulation  of  your- 
selves? for  I  bear  you  witness,  that, 
if  possible,  ye  would  have  plucked 
out  your  eyes  and  given  them  to 
me.  16  So  then  am  I  become  your 
enemy,  because  I  tell  you  the 
truth?  17  They  zealously  seek  you 
in  no  good  way ;  nay,  they  desire 
to  shut  you  out,  that  ye  may  seek 
them.  18  But  it  is  good  to  be  zeal- 
ously sought  in  a  good  matter  at 
all  times,  and  not  only  when  I  am 
present  with  you.  19  My  little 
children,  of  whom  I  am  again  in 
travail  until  Christ  be  formed  in 
you,  20  yea,  I  could  wish  to  be  pres- 
ent with  you  now,  and  to  change 
my  voice;  for  I  am  perplexed  about 
you. 

21  Tell  me,  ye  that  desire  to  be 
under  the  law,  do  ye  not  hear  the 
law?  22  For  it  is  written,  that 
Abraham  had  two  sons,  one  by  the 
handmaid,  and  one  by  the  free- 
woman.  23  Howbeit  the  son  by  the 
handmaid  is  born  after  the  flesh ; 
but  the  son  by  the  freev/oman  is 
born  through  promise.  24  Which 
things  contain  an  allegory :  for 
these  women  are  two  covenants; 
one  from  mount  Sinai,  bearing 
children  unto  bondage,  which  is 
Hagar.  25  Now  this  Hagar  is 
mount  Sinai  in  Arabia,  and  an- 
swereth to  the  Jerusalem  that  now 
is:  for  she  is  in  bondage  with  her 
children.  26  But  the  Jerusalem  that 
is  above  is  free,  which  is  our 
mother.     27  For  it  is  written. 

Rejoice,  thou  barren  that  bear- 
est not ; 

Break  forth  and  cry,  thou  that 
travailest   not: 

For  more  are  the  children  of 
the  desolate  than  of  her  which 
hath  the  husband. 
28  Now  we,  brethren,  as  Isaac  was, 
are  children  of  promise.  29  But 
as  then  he  that  was  born  after  the 
flesh  persecuted  him  that  was  born

come  as  I  am,  for  I  also  am  become 
as  ye  are.     Ye  did  me  no  wrong: 

13  but  ye  know  that  because  of  an 
infirmity  of  the  flesh  1  preached  the 
gospel    unto    you    the    first    time : 

14  and  that  which  was  a  tempta-

not,  nor  rejected;  but  ye  received 
me  as  an  angel  of  God,  evcji  as 
Christ  Jesus.  15  Where  then  is  that 
gratulation  of  yourselves?  for  I 
bear  you  witness,  that,  if  possible, 
ye  would  have  plucked  out  your 
eyes  and  given  them  to  me.  16  So 
then  am  I  become  your  enemy,  by 
telling  you  the  truth?  17  They 
zealously  seek  you  in  no  good  way; 
nay^  they  desire  to  shut  you  out, 
that  ye  may  seek  them.  18  But  it 
is  good  to  be  zealously  sought  in 
a  good  matter  at  all  times,  and 
not  only  when  I  am  present  with 
you,  19  My  little  children,  of 
whom  I  am  again  in  travail  until 
Christ  be  formed  in  you — 20  but 
I  could  wish  to  be  present  with 
you  now,  and  to  change  my  tone; 
for  I  am  perplexed  about  you. 

21  Tell  me,  ye  that  desire  to  be 
under  the  law,  do  ye  not  hear  the 
law?  22  For  it  is  written,  that  Abra- 
ham had  two  sons,  one  by  the  hand- 
maid, and  one  by  the  freewoman. 
23  Howbeit  the  son  by  the  hand- 
maid is  born  after  the  flesh ;  but 
the  son  by  the  freewoman  is  born 
through  promise.  24  Which  things 
contain  an  allegory :  for  these 
women  are  two  covenants ;  one 
from  mount  Sinai,  bearing  children 
unto  bondage,  which  is  Hagar.  25 
Now  this  Hagar  is  mount  Sinai  in 
Arabia,  and  answereth  to  the  Jeru- 
salem that  now  is :  for  she  is  in 
bondage  with  her  children.  26  But 
the  Jerusalem  that  is  above  is  free, 
which  is  our  mother.  27  For  it  is 
written. 

Rejoice,  thou  barren  that  bear-

Break  forth  and  cry,  thou  that 

travailest  not: 
For    more    are    the    children   of 

the  desolate  than  of  her  that 

hath  the  husband. 
28  Now  we,  brethren,  as  Isaac  was, 
are   children    of   promise.     29   But 
as    then    he    that    was    born    after 
the  flesh  persecuted   him   that  was 


13  And  you  know,  how  through  infirm- 
ity of  the  flesh,  I  preached  the  gospel  to 
you  heretofore:  and  your  temptation  in 
my  flesh, 

14  You  despised  not,  nor  rejected:  but 
received  me  as  an  angel  of  God,  even  as 
Christ  Jesus. 

15  Where  is  then  your  blessedness? 
For  I  bear  you  witness,  that,  if  it  could 
be  done,  you  would  have  plucked  out 
your  own  eyes,  and  would  have  given 
them  to  me. 

16  Am  I  then  become  your  enemy,  be- 
cause I  tell  you  the  truth? 

17  They  are  zealous  in  your  regard  not 
well:  but  they  would  exclude  you,  that 
you  might  be  zealous  for  them. 

18  But  be  zealous  for  that  which  is 
good  in  a  good  thing  always :  and  not 
only  when  I  am  present  with  you. 

19  My  little  children,  of  whom  I  am  in 
labour  again,  until  Christ  be  formed  in 
you. 

20  And  I  would  willingly  be  present 
with  you  now,  and  change  my  voice:  be- 
cause I  am  ashamed  for  you. 

21  Tell  me,  you  that  desire  to  be  under 
the  law,  have  you  not  read  the  law? 

22  For  it  is  written  that  Abraham  had 
two  sons:  the  one  by  a  bondwoman,  and 
the  other  by  a  free  woman. 

23  But  he  who  was  of  the  bondwoman, 
was  born  according  to  the  flesh:  but  he 
of  the  free  woman,  was  by  promise. 

24  Which  things  are  said  by  an  allegory. 
For  these  are  the  two  testaments.  The 
one  from  mount  Sina,  engendering  unto 
bondage ;  which  is  Agar : 

25  For  Sina  is  a  mountain  in  Arabia, 
which  hath  affinity  to  that  Jerusalem  which 
now  is,  and  is  in  bondage  with  her  chil- 
dren. 

26  But  that  Jerusalem,  which  is  above, 
is  free :  which  is  our  mother. 

27  For  it  is  written :  Rejoice,  thou  bar- 
ren, that  bear  est  not:  break  forth  and  cry, 
thou  that  travailest  not:  for  many  are  the 
children  of  the  desolate,  more  than  of  her 
that  hath  a  husband. 

28  Now  we,  brethren,  as  Isaac  was,  are 
the   children   of   promise. 

29  But  as  then  he,  that  was  born  ac- 
cording to  the  flesh,  persecuted  him  that 
was  after  the  spirit ;  so  also  it  is  now. 

30  But  what  saith  the  scripture?  Cast 
out  the  bondwoman  and  her  son;  for  the 
son  of  the  bondwoman  shall  not  be  heir 
with  the  son  of  the  free  woman. 

31  So  then,   brethren,   we   are   not   the.

31   So  then,  brethren,  we  are  not  chil- 
dren of  the  bondwoman,  but  of  the  free. 


CHAPTER  5. 

STAND  fast  therefore  in  the  liberty 
wherewith  Christ  hath  made  us  free, 
and  be  not  entangled  again  with  the  yoke 
of  bondage. 

2  Behold,  I  Paul  say  unto  you,  that  if 
ye  be  circumcised,  Christ  shall  profit  you 
nothing, 

3  For  I  testify  again  to  every  man  that 
is  circumcised,  that  he  is  a  debtor  to  do 
the  whole  law. 

4  Christ  is  become  of  no  effect  unto 
you,  whosoever  of  you  are  justified  by 
the  law;  ye  are  fallen  from  grace. 

5  For  we  through  the  Spirit  wait  for 
the  hope  of  righteousness  by  faith. 

6  For  in  Jesus  Christ  neither  circum- 
cision availeth  any  thing,  nor  uncircum- 
cision ;  but  faith  which  worketh  by  love. 

7  Ye  did  run  well ;  who  did  hinder  you 
that  ye   should   not   obey   the   truth? 

8  This  persuasion  cometh  not  of  him 
that  calleth  you. 

9  A  little  leaven  leaveneth  the  whole 
lump. 

10  I  have  confidence  in  you  through  the 
Lord,  that  ye  will  be  none  otherwise 
minded :  but  he  that  troubleth  you  shall 
bear  his  judgment,  whosoever  he  be. 

11  And  I,  brethren,  if  I  yet  preach  cir- 
cumcision, why  do  I  yet  suffer  persecu- 
tion? then  is  the  offence  of  the  cross 
ceased. 

12  I  would  they  were  even  cut  off  which 
trouble  you. 

13  For,  brethren,  ye  have  been  called 
unto  liberty;  only  use  not  liberty  for  an 
occasion  to  the  flesh,  but  by  love  serve 
one  another. 

14  For  all  the  law  is  fulfilled  in  one 
word,  even  in  this;  Thou  shalt  love  thy 
neighbour  as  thyself. 

15  But  if  ye  bite  and  devour  one  an- 
other, take  heed  that  ye  be  not  consumed 
one  of  another. 

16  This  I  say  then.  Walk  in  the  Spirit, 
and  ye  shall  not  fulfil  the  lust  of  the 
flesh. 

17  For  the  flesh  lusteth  against  the 
Spirit,  and  the   Spirit  against  the  flesh: 


after  the  Spirit,  even  so  it  is  now. 
30  Howbeit  what  saith  the  scrip- 
ture? Cast  out  the  handmaid  and 
her  son  :  for  the  son  of  the  hand- 
maid shall  not  inherit  with  the  son 
of  the  freewoman.  31  Wherefore, 
brethren,  we  are  not  children  of  a 
handmaid,  but  of  the  freewoman. 


T^ITITH  freedom  did  Christ  set 
5  »  ▼  us  free:  stand  fast  there- 
fore, and  be  not  entangled  again 
in  a  yoke  of  bondage. 

2  Behold,  I  Paul  say  unto  you, 
that,  if  ye  receive  circumcision, 
Christ  will  profit  you  nothing.  3 
Yea,  I  testify  again  to  every  man 
that  receiveth  circumcision,  that  he 
is  a   debtor  to   do  the   whole   law. 

4  Ye  are  severed  from  Christ,  ye 
who  would  be  justified  by  the  law; 
ye    are    fallen    away    from    grace. 

5  For  we  through  the  Spirit  by 
faith  wait  for  the  hope  of  right- 
eousness. 6  For  in  Christ  Jesus 
neither  circumcision  availeth  any- 
thing, nor  uncircumcision ;  but 
faith  working  through  love.  7  Ye 
were  running  well ;  who  did  hinder 
you  that  ye  should  not  obey  the 
truth?  8  This  persuasion  came  not 
of  him  that  calleth  you.  9  A  little

in  the  Lord,  that  ye  will  be  none 
otherwise  minded:  but  he  that 
troubleth  you  shall  bear  his  judge- 
ment, whosoever  he  be.  11  But  I, 
brethren,  if  I  still  preach  circum- 
cision, why  am  I  still  persecuted? 
then  hath  the  stumbling-block  of 
the  cross  been  done  away.  12  I 
would  that  they  which  unsettle  you 
would  even  cut  themselves  off. 

13  For  ye,  brethren,  were  called 
for  freedom ;  only  use  not  your 
freedom  for  an  occasion  to  the 
flesh,  but  through  love  be  servants 
one  to  another.  14  For  the  whole 
law  is  fulfilled  in  one  word,  even 
in  this;  Thou  shalt  love  thy  neigh- 
bour as  thyself.  15  But  if  ye  bite 
and  devour  one  another,  take  heed

has  made  us  free. 


CHAPTER  5. 

STAND    fast,   and   be   not  held   again 
under  the  yoke  of  bondage. 

2  Behold,  I  Paul  tell  you,  that  if  you 
be  circumcised,  Christ  shall  profit  you 
nothing. 

3  And  I  testify  again  to  every  man  cir- 
cumcising himself,  that  he  is  a  debtor  to 
do  the  whole  law. 

4  You  are  made  void  of  Christ,  you  who 
are  justified  in  the  law:  you  are  fallen 
from  grace. 

5  For  we  in  spirit,  by  faith,  wait  for 
the  hope  of  justice. 

6  For  in  Christ  Jesus  neither  circum- 
cision availeth  any  thing,  nor  uncircum- 
cision :  but  faith  that  worketh  by  charity. 

7  You  did  run  well,  who  hath  hindered 
you,  that  you  should  not  obey  the  truth? 

8  This  persuasion  is  not  from  him  that 
calleth  you. 

9  A  little  leaven  corrupteth  the  whole 
lump. 

10  I  have  confidence  in  you  in  the 
Lord :  that  you  will  not  be  of  another 
mind:  but  he  that  troubleth  you,  shall 
bear  the  judgment,  whosoever  he  be. 

11  And  I,  brethren,  if  I  yet  preach  cir-

made   void. 

12  I  would  they  were  even  cut  off,  who

the  spirit  serve  one  another.

and  these  are  contrary  the  one  to  the 
other:  so  that  ye  cannot  do  the  things 
that  ye  would. 

i8  But  if  ye  be  led  of  the  Spirit,  ye 
are  not  under  the  law. 

19  Now  the  works  of  the  flesh  are  mani- 
fest, which  are  these;  Adultery,  fornica- 
tion, uncleanness,  lasciviousness, 

20  Idolatry,  witchcraft,  hatred,  variance, 
emulations,  wrath,  strife,  seditions,  here- 
sies, 

21  Envyings,  murders,  drunkenness,  rev- 
ellings,  and  such  like:  of  the  which  I 
tell  you  before,  as  I  have  also  told  you 
in  time  past,  that  they  which  do  such 
things  shall  not  inherit  the  kingdom  of 
God. 

22  But  the  fruit  of  the  Spirit  is  love, 
joy,  peace,  longsuffering,  gentleness,  good- 
ness,  faith, 

23  Meekness,  temperance:  against  such 
there  is  no  law. 

24  And  they  that  are  Christ's  have  cruci- 
fied the  flesh  with  the  affections  and 
lusts. 

25  If  we  live  in  the  Spirit,  let  us  also 
walk  in  the  Spirit. 

26  Let  us  not  be  desirous  of  vain  glory, 
provoking  one  another,  envying  one  an- 
other. 

CHAPTER  6. 

BRETHREN,  if  a  man  be  overtaken 
in  a  fault,  ye  which  are  spiritual,  re- 
store such  an  one  in  the  spirit  of  meek- 
ness;  considering  thyself,  lest  thou  also 
be  tempted. 

2  Bear  ye  one  another's  burdens,  and 
so  fulfil  the  law  of  Christ. 

3  For  if  a  man  think  himself  to  be 
something,  when  he  is  nothing,  he  de- 
ceiveth  himself. 

4  But  let  every  man  prove  his  own 
work,  and  then  shall  he  have  rejoicing 
in  himself  alone,  and  not  in  another. 

5  For  every  man  shall  bear  his  own 
burden. 

6  Let  him  that  is  taught  in  the  word 
communicate  unto  him  that  teacheth  in 
all  good  things. 

7  Be  not  deceived ;  God  is  not  mocked : 
for  whatsoever  a  man  soweth,  that  shall 
he  also  reap. 

8  For  he  that  soweth  to  his  flesh  shall 
of  the  flesh  reap  corruption ;  but  he  that 
soweth  to  the  Spirit  shall  of  the  Spirit 
reap  life  everlasting. 

9  And  let  us  not  be  weary  in  well  doing : 


against  the  Spirit,  and  the  Spirit 
against  the  flesh ;  for  these  are  con- 
trary the  one  to  the  other;  that 
ye  may  not  do  the  things  that  ye 
would.  18  But  if  ye  are  led  by 
the  Spirit,  ye  are  not  under  the 
law.  19  Now  the  works  of  the 
flesh  are  manifest,  which  are  these, 
fornication,  uncleanness,  lascivious- 
ness, 20  idolatry,  sorcery,  enmities, 
strife,  jealousies,  wraths,  factions, 
divisions,  heresies,  21  envyings, 
drunkenness,  revellings,  and  such 
like :  of  the  which  I  forewarn  you, 
even  as  I  did  forewarn  you,  that 
they  which  practise  such  things 
shall  not  inherit  the  kingdom  of 
God.  22  But  the  fruit  of  the  Spirit 
is  love,  joy,  peace,  longsuffering, 
kindness,  goodness,  faithfulness,  23 
meekness,  temperance :  against  such 
there  is  no  law.  24  And  they  that 
are  of  Christ  Jesus  have  crucified 
the  flesh  with  the  passions  and  the 
lusts  thereof.  25  If  we  live  by  the 
Spirit,  by  the  Spirit  let  us  also 
walk.  26  Let  us  not  be  vainglori- 
ous, provoking  one  another,  envy-

Christ.  3  For  if  a  man  thinketh 
himself  to  be  something,  when  he 
is  nothing,  he  deceiveth  himself. 
4  But  let  each  man  prove  his  own

the  flesh.  17  For  the  flesh  lusteth 
against  the  Spirit,  and  the  Spirit 
against  the  flesh ;  for  these  are  con- 
trary the  one  to  the  other ;  that  ye 
may  not  do  the  things  that  ye  would. 
18  But  if  ye  are  led  by  the  Spirit, 
ye  are  not  under  the  law.  19  Now 
the  works  of  the  flesh  are  mani- 
fest, which  are  these:  fornication, 
uncleanness,  lasciviousness,  20  idol- 
atry, sorcery,  enmities,  strife,  jeal- 
ousies, wraths,  factions,  divisions, 
parties,  21  envyings,  drunkenness, 
revellings,  and  such  like;  of  which 
I  forewarn  you,  even  as  I  did 
forewarn  you,  that  they  who  prac- 
tise such  things  shall  not  in- 
herit the  kingdom  of  God.  22  But 
the  fruit  of  the  Spirit  is  love, 
joy,  peace,  longsuffering,  kindness, 
goodness,  faithfulness,  23  meekness, 
self-control;  against  such  there  is 
no  law.  24  And  they  that  are  of 
Christ  Jesus  have  crucified  the 
flesh  with  the  passions  and  the  lusts 
thereof. 

25  If  we  live  by  the  Spirit,  by 
the  Spirit  let  us  also  walk.  26  Let 
us  not  become  vainglorious,  pro- 
voking one  another,  envying  one 
another.

18  But  if  you  are  led  by  the  spirit,  you 
are  not  under  the  law. 

19  Now  the  works  of  the  flesh  are  mani- 
fest, which  are  fornication,  uncleanness, 
immodesty,  luxury, 

20  Idolatry,  witchcrafts,  enmities,  con- 
tentions, emulations,  wraths,  quarrels,  dis- 
sensions, sects, 

21  Envies,  murders,  drunkenness,  revel- 
lings,  and  such  like.  Of  the  which  I 
foretell  you,  as  I  have  foretold  to  you, 
that  they  who  do  such  things  shall  not 
obtain  the  kingdom  of  God. 

22  But  the  fruit  of  the  Spirit  is>  charity, 
joy,  peace,  patience,  benignity,  goodness, 
longanimity, 

23  Mildness,  faith,  modesty,  continency, 
chastity.     Against  such  there  is  no  law. 

24  And  they  that  are  Christ's,  have 
crucified  their  flesh,  with  the  vices  and 
concupiscences. 

25  If  we  live  in  the  Spirit,  let  us  also 
walk  in  the  Spirit. 

26  Let  us  not  be  made  desirous  of  vain 
glory,  provoking  one  another,  envying  one 
another. 


CHAPTER  6. 

BRETHREN,  and  if  a  man  be  over- 
taken in  any  fault,  you,  who  are 
spiritual,  instruct  such  a  one  in  the  spirit 
of  meekness,  considering  thyself,  lest 
thou  also  be  tempted. 

2  Bear  ye  one  another's  burdens;  and 
so  you  shall  fulfil  the  law  of  Christ. 

3  For  if  any  man  think  himself  to  be 
some  thing,  whereas  he  is  nothing,  he 
deceiveth  himself. 

4  But  let  every  one  prove  his  own 
work,  and  so  he  shall  have  glory  in  him- 
self only,   and  not   in   another. 

5  For  every  one  shall  bear  his  own 
burden. 

6  And  let  him  that  is  instructed  in  the 
word,  communicate  to  him  that  instruct- 
eth  him,  in  all  good  things. 

7  Be  not  deceived,  God  is  not  mocked. 

8  For  what  things  a  man  shall  sow, 
those  also  shall  he  reap.  For  he  that 
soweth  in  his  flesh,  of  the  flesh  also  shall 
reap  corruption.  But  he  that  soweth  in 
the  spirit,  of  the  spirit  shall  reap  life 
everlasting. 

9  And  in  doing  good,  let  us  not  fail.

for  in   due   season   we   shall   reap,  if   we

unto  them  who  are  of  the  household  of

11  Ye  see  how  large  a  letter  I  have 
written  unto  you  with  mine  own  hand. 

12  As  many  as  desire  to  make  a  fair 
shew  in  the  flesh,  they  constrain  you  to  be 
circumcised;  only  lest  they  should  suffer 
persecution   for  the  cross  of   Christ. 

13  For  neither  they  themselves  who  are 
circumcised  keep  the  law ;  but  desire  to 
have  you  circumcised,  that  they  may  glory 
in  your  flesh. 

14  But  God  forbid  that  I  should  glory, 
save  in  the  cross  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  by  whom  the  world  is  crucified 
unto  me,  and  I  unto  the  world. 

15  For  in  Christ  Jesus  neither  circum- 
cision availeth  any  thing,  nor  uncircum-

16  And  as  many  as  walk  according  to 
this  rule,  peace  be  on  them,  and  mercy,

me:  for  I  bear  in  my  body  the  marks  of

in  well-doing:  for  in  due  season 
we  shall  reap,  if  we  faint  not.  10 
So  then,  as  we  have  opportunity, 
let  us  work  that  which  is  good  to- 
ward all  men,  and  especially  toward 
them  that  are  of  the  household  of 
the  faith. 

II  See  with  how  large  letters  I

to  make  a  fair  show  in  the  flesh, 
they  compel  you  to  be  circumcised; 
only  that  they  may  not  be  perse- 
cuted for  the  cross  of  Christ.  13 
For  not  even  they  who  receive  cir- 
cumcision do  themselves  keep  the 
law ;  but  they  desire  to  have  you 
circumcised,  that  they  may  glory  in 
your  flesh.  14  But  far  be  it  from 
me  to  glory,  save  in  the  cross 
of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  through 
which  the  world  hath  been  crucified 
unto  me,  and  I  unto  the  world.  15 
For  neither  is  circumcision  any- 
thing, nor  uncircumcision,  but  a 
new  creature.  16  And  as  many  as 
shall  walk  by  this  rule,  peace  be 
upon  them,  and  mercy,  and  upon 
the   Israel   of   God. 

17  From  henceforth  let  no  man 
trouble  me:  for  I  bear  branded  on 
my  body  the  marks  of  Jesus. 

18  The  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus

season  we  shall  reap,  if  we  faint 
not.  ID  So  then,  as  we  have  op- 
portunity, let  us  work  that  which 
is  good  toward  all  men,  and  espe- 
cially toward  them  that  are  of  the 
household  of  the  faith, 

II  See  with  how  large  letters  I 
write  unto  you  with  mine  own 
hand.  12  As  many  as  desire  to 
make  a  fair  show  in  the  flesh,  they 
compel  you  to  be  circumcised ;  only 
that  they  may  not  be  persecuted  for 
the  cross  of  Christ.  13  For  not 
even  they  who  receive  circumcision 
do  themselves  keep  the  law ;  but 
they  desire  to  have  you  circumcised, 
that  they  may  glory  in  your  flesh. 
14  But  far  be  it  from  me  to  glory, 
save  in  the  cross  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  through  which  the  world 
hath  been  crucified  unto  me,  and 
I  unto  the  world.  15  For  neither  is 
circumcision  anything,  nor  uncir-

And  as  many  as  shall  walk  by  this 
rule,  peace  be  upon  them,  and

17  Henceforth  let  no  man  trouble

For    in    due    time    we    shall

10  Therefore,  whilst  we  have  time,  let 
us  work  good  to  all  men,  but  especially 
to  those  who  are  of  the  household  of  the 
faith.  ^ 

11  See  what  a  letter  I  have  written  to 
you  with  my  own  hand. 

12  For  as  many  as  desire  to  please  in 
the  flesh,  they  constrain  you  to  be  cir- 
cumcised, only  that  they  may  not  suffer 
the  persecution  of  the  cross  of  Christ. 

13  For  neither  they  themselves  who  are 
circumcised,  keep  the  law;  but  they  will 
have  you  to  be  circumcised,  that  they 
may  glory  in  your  flesh. 

14  But  God  forbid  that  I  should  glory, 
save  in  the  cross  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ;  by  whom  the  world  is  crucified 
to  me,  and  I  to  the  world. 

15  For  in  Christ  Jesus  neither  circum-

16  And  whosoever  shall  follow  this 
rule,  peace  on  them,  and  mercy,  and  upon 
the  Israel  of  God. 

17  From  henceforth  let  no  man  be 
troublesome  to  me;  for  I  bear  the  marks 
of  the  Lord  Jesus  in  my  body.

9  Having  made  known  unto  us  the 
mystery  of  his  will,  according  to  his 
good  pleasure  which  he  hath  purposed  in

ID  That  in  the  dispensation  of  the  ful-

in  one  all  things  in  Christ,  both  which  are 
in  heaven,  and  which  are  on  earth;  even 
in  him : 

11  In  whom  also  we  have  obtained  an 
inheritance,  being  predestinated  accord-

things  after  the  counsel  of  his  own  will : 

12  That  we  should  be  to  the  praise  of 
his  glory,  who  first  trusted  in  Christ. 

13  In  whom  ye  also  trusted,  after  that 
ye  heard  the  word  of  truth,  the  gospel  of 
your  salvation :  in  whom  also  after  that 
ye  believed,  ye  were  sealed  with  that  holy 
Spirit  of  promise, 

14  Which  is  the  earnest  of  our  inher-

chased possession,  unto  the  praise  of  his 
glory. 

15  Wherefore  I  also,  after  I  heard  of 
your  faith  in  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  love 
unto  all  the  saints, 

16  Cease  not  to  give  thanks  for  you, 
making  mention  of  you  in  my  prayers ;

20  Which  he  wrought  in  Christ,  when

session, unto  the  praise  of  his 
glory. 

15  For  this  cause  I  also,  having 
heard  of  the  faith  in  the  Lord  Jesus 
which  is  among  you,  and  the  love 
which  ye  show  toward  all  the 
saints,  16  cease  not  to  give  thanks 
for  you,  making  mention  of  you  in 
my  prayers;  17  that  the  God  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  the  Father  of 
glory,  may  give  unto  you  a  spirit 
of  wisdom  and  revelation  in  the 
knowledge  of  him ;  18  having  the 
eyes  of  your  heart  enlightened,  that 
ye  may  know  what  is  the  hope  of 
his  calling,  what  the  riches  of  the 
glory  of  his  inheritance  in  the 
saints,  19  and  what  the  exceeding 
greatness  of  his  power  to  us-ward 
who  believe,  according  to  that 
working  of  the  strength  of  his 
might  20  which  he  wrought  in 
Christ,   when   he  raised  him   from 


foundation  of  the  world,  that  we  should 
be  holy  and  unspotted  in  his  sight  in 
charity. 

5  Who  hath  predestinated  us  unto  the 
adoption  of  children  through  Jesus  Christ 
unto  himself:  according  to  the  purpose 
of  his  will : 

6  Unto  the  praise  of  the  glory  of  his 
grace,  in  which  he  hath  graced  us  in  his 
beloved  son. 

7  In  whom  we  have  redemption  through 
his  blood,  the  remission  of  sins,  accord- 
ing to  the  riches  of  his  grace, 

8  Which  hath  superabounded  in  us  in 
all  wisdom  and  prudence, 

9  That  he  might  make  known  unto  us 
the  mystery  of  his  will,  according  to  his 
good  pleasure,  which  he  hath  purposed 
in  him, 

10  In  the  dispensation  of  the  fulness  of 
times,  to  re-establish  all  things  in  Christ, 
that  are  in  heaven  and  on  earth,  in  him. 

11  In  whom  we  also  are  called  by  lot, 
being  predestinated  according  to  the  pur- 
pose of  him  who  worketh  all  things  ac- 
cording to  the  counsel  of  his  will. 

12  That  we  may  be  unto  the  praise  of 
his  glory,  we  who  before  hoped  in 
Christ : 

13  In  whom  you  also,  after  you  had 
heard  the  word  of  truth,  (the  gospel  of 
your  salvation;)  in  whom  also  believing, 
you  were  signed  with  the  holy  Spirit  of 
promise, 

14  Who  is  the  pledge  of  our  inherit- 
ance, unto  the  redemption  of  acquisition, 
unto  the  praise  of  his  glory. 

15  Wherefore  I  also,  hearing  of  your 
faith  that  is  in  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  of 
your  love  towards  all  the  saints, 

16  Cease  not  to  give  thanks  for  you, 
making  commemoration  of  you  in  my 
prayers, 

17  That  the  God  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  the  Father  of  glory,  may  give 
unto  you  the  spirit  of  wisdom  and  of 
revelation,  in  the  knowledge  of  him: 

18  The  eyes  of  your  heart  enlightened, 
that  you  may  know  what  the  hope  is  of 
his  calling,  and  what  are  the  riches  of 
the  glory  of  his  inheritance  in  the  saints. 

19  And  what  is  the  exceeding  greatness 
of  his  power  towards  us,  who  believe 
according  to  the  operation  of  the  might 
of  his  power, 

20  Which  he  wrought  in  Christ,  raising 
him  up  from  the  dead,  and  setting  him 
on  his  right  hand  in  the  heavenly  places.

at  his   own   right  hand   in   the  heavenly 
places, 

21  Far  above  all  principality,  and  power, 
and  might,  and  dominion,  and  every  name 
that  is  named,  not  only  in  this  world,  but 
also  in  that  which  is  to  come : 

22  And  hath  put  all  things  under  his 
feet,  and  gave  him  to  be  the  head  over  all 
things  to  the  church, 

23  Which  is  his  body,  the  fulness  of 
him  that  filleth  all  in  all. 

CHAPTER  2. 

AND  you  hath  he  quickened,  who  were 
dead  in  trespasses  and  sins ; 

2  Wherein  in  time  past  ye  walked  ac- 
cording to  the  course  of  this  world,  ac- 
cording to  the  prince  of  the  power  of  the 
air,  the  spirit  that  now  worketh  in  the 
children  of  disobedience : 

3  Among  whom  also  we  all  had  our 
conversation  in  times  past  in  the  lusts 
of  our  flesh,  fulfilling  the  desires  of 
the  flesh  and  of  the  mind;  and  were  by 
nature  the  children  of  wrath,  even  as 
others. 

4  But  God,  who  is  rich  in  mercy,  for 
his  great  love  wherewith  he  loved  us, 

5  Even  when  we  were  dead  in  sins,  hath 
quickened  us  together  with  Christ,  (by 
grace  ye  are  saved;) 

6  And  hath  raised  us  up  together,  and 
made  us  sit  together  in  heavenly  places 
in  Christ  Jesus: 

7  That  in  the  ages  to  come  he  might 
shew  the  exceeding  riches  of  his  grace  in 
his  kindness  toward  us  through  Christ 
Jesus. 

8  For  by  grace  are  ye  saved  through 
faith ;  and  that  not  of  yourselves :  it  is 
the  gift  of  God: 

9  Not  of  works,  lest  any  man  should 
boast. 

10  For  we  are  his  workmanship,  created 
in  Christ  Jesus  unto  good  works,  which 
God  hath  before  ordained  that  we  should 
walk  in  them. 

11  Wherefore  remember,  that  ye  being 
in  time  past  Gentiles  in  the  flesh,  who 
are  called  Uncircumcision  by  that  which 
is  called  the  Circumcision  in  the  flesh 
made  by  hands; 

12  That  at  that  time  ye  were  without 
Christ,  being  aliens  from  the  common- 
wealth of  Israel,  and  strangers  from  the 
covenants  of  promise,  having  no  hope,  and 
without  God  in  the  world : 

13  But   now   in   Christ  Jesus ''^ye  who 


the  dead,  and  made  him  to  sit  at 
his  right  hand  in  the  heavenly 
places,  21  far  above  all  rule,  and 
authority,  and  power,  and  domin- 
ion, and  every  name  that  is  named, 
not  only  in  this  world,  but  also 
in  that  which  is  to  come:  22  and 
he  put  all  things  in  subjection  un- 
der his  feet,  and  gave  him  to  be 
head  over  all  things  to  the  church, 
22,  which  is  his  body,  the  fulness 
of  him  that  filleth  all  in  all. 


A  ND  you  did  he  quicken,  when 
2xjL  ye  were  dead  through  your 
trespasses  and  sins,  2  wherein 
aforetime  ye  walked  according  to 
the  course  of  this  world,  according 
to  the  prince  of  the  power  of  the 
air,  of  the  spirit  that  now  worketh 
in  the  sons  of  disobedience;  3 
among  whom  we  also  all  once  lived 
in  the  lusts  of  our  flesh,  doing  the 
desires  of  the  flesh  and  of  the  mind, 
and  were  by  nature  children  of 
wrath,  even  as  the  rest : — 4  but 
God,  being  rich  in  mercy,  for  his 
great  love  wherewith  he  loved  us, 
5  even  when  we  were  dead  through 
our  trespasses,  quickened  us  to- 
gether with  Christ  (by  grace  have 
ye  been  saved),  6  and  raised  us  up 
with  him,  and  made  us  to  sit  with 
him  in  the  heavenly  places,  in 
Christ  Jesus :  7  that  in  the  ages  to 
come  he  might  shew  the  exceeding 
riches  of  his  grace  in  kindness 
toward  us  in  Christ  Jesus :  8  for  by 
grace  have  ye  been  saved  through 
faith;  and  that  not  of  yourselves: 
//  is  the  gift  of  God:  9  not  of 
works,  that  no  man  should  glory. 
10  For  we  are  his  workmanship, 
created  in  Christ  Jesus  for  good 
works,  which  God  afore  prepared 
that  we  should  walk  in  them. 

II  Wherefore  remember,  that 
aforetime  ye,  the  Gentiles  in  the 
flesh,  who  are  called  Uncircum- 
cision by  that  which  is  called  Cir- 
cumcision, in  the  flesh,  made  by 
hands;  12  that  ye  were  at  that 
time  separate  from  Christ,  alien- 
ated from  the  commonwealth  of 
Israel,  and  strangers  from  the  cov- 
enants of  the  promise,  having  no 
hope  and  without  God  in  the  world.

his  right  hand  in  the  heavenly 
places,  21  far  above  all  rule,  and 
authority,  and  power,  and  domin- 
ion, and  every  name  that  is  named, 
not  only  in  this  world,  but  also  in 
that  which  is  to  come:  22  and  he 
put  all  things  in  subjection  under 
his  feet,  and  gave  him  to  be  head 
over  all  things  to  the  church,  23 
which  is  his  body,  the  fulness  of 
him  that  fiUeth  all  in  all. 


AND  you  did  he  make  alive, 
when  ye  were  dead  through 
your  trespasses  and  sins,  2  wherein 
ye  once  walked  according  to  the 
course  of  this  world,  according 
to  the  prince  of  the  powers  of 
the  air,  of  the  spirit  that  now 
worketh  in  the  sons  of  disobedi- 
ence; 3  among  whom  we  also  all 
once  lived  in  the  lusts  of  our 
flesh,  doing  the  desires  of  the  flesh 
and  of  the  mind,  and  were  by 
nature  children  of  wrath,  even 
as  the  rest: — 4  but  God,  being 
rich  in  mercy,  for  his  great  love 
wherewith  he  loved  us,  5  even  when 
we  were  dead  through  our  tres- 
passes, made  us  alive  together 
with  Christ  (by  grace  have  ye 
been  saved),  6  and  raised  us  up 
with  him,  and  made  us  to  sit  with 
him  in  the  heavenly  places,  in 
Christ  Jesus :  7  that  in  the  ages 
to  come  he  might  show  the  exceed- 
ing riches  of  his  grace  in  kind- 
ness toward  us  in  Christ  Jesus :  8 
for  by  grace  have  ye  been  saved 
through  faith;  and  that  not  of 
yourselves,  it  is  the  gift  of  God; 
9  not  of  works,  that  no  man 
should  glory.  10  For  we  are  his 
workmanship,  created  in  Christ 
Jesus  for  good  works,  which  God 
afore  prepared  that  we  should  walk 
in  them. 

II  Wherefore  remember,  that 
once  ye,  the  Gentiles  in  the  flesh, 
who  are  called  Uncircumcision 
by  that  which  is  called  Circum- 
cision, in  the  flesh,  made  by  hands ; 
12  that  ye  were  at  that  time  sep- 
arate from  Christ,  alienated  from 
the  commonwealth  of  Israel,  and 
strangers  from  the  covenants  of 
the  promise,   having  no  hope  and 


and  virtue,  and  dominion,  and  every 
name  that  is  named,  not  only  in  this 
world,  but  also  in  that  which  is  to  come. 

22  And  he  hath  subjected  all  things 
under  his  feet,  and  hath  made  him  head 
over  all  the  church, 

23  Which  is  his  body,  and  the  fulness  of 
him  who  is  filled  all  in  all. 


CHAPTER  2. 

AND    you,    when   you    were    dead    in 
your  offences,  and  sins, 

2  Wherein  in  time  past  you  walked  ac- 
cording to  the  course  of  this  world,  ac- 
cording to  the  prince  of  the  power  of 
this  air,  of  the  spirit  that  now  worketh 
on  the  children  of  unbelief : 

3  In  which  also  we  all  conversed  in  time 
past,  in  the  desires  of  our  flesh,  fulfilling 
the  will  of  the  flesh  and  of  our  thoughts, 
and  were  by  nature  children  of  wrath, 
even  as  the  rest : 

4  But  God,  (who  is  rich  in  mercy,)  for 
his  exceeding  charity  wherewith  he  loved 
us, 

5  Even  when  we  were  dead  in  sins,  hath 
quickened  us  together  in  Christ,  (by 
whose  grace  you  are  saved,) 

6  And  hath  raised  us  up  together,  and 
hath  made  us  sit  together  in  the  heavenly 
places,  through  Christ  Jesus. 

7  That  he  might  shew  in  the  ages  to 
come  the  abundant  riches  of  his  grace,  in 
his  bounty  towards  us  in  Christ  Jesus. 

8  For  by  grace  you  are  saved  through 
faith,  and  that  not  of  yourselves,  for  it 
is  the  gift  of  God; 

9  Not  of  works,  that  no  man  may  glory. 

10  For  we  are  his  workmanship,  created 
in  Christ  Jesus  in  good  works,  which 
God  hath  prepared  that  we  should  walk 
in  them. 

11  For  which  cause  be  mindful  that  you, 
being  heretofore  Gentiles  in  the  flesh, 
who  are  called  uncircumcision  by  that 
which  is  called  circumcision  in  the  flesh, 
made  by  hands; 

12  That  you  were  at  that  time  without 
Christ,  being  aliens  from  the  conversa- 
tion of  Israel,  and  strangers  to  the  testa- 
ment, having  no  hope  of  the  promise, 
and  without   God  in  this  world. 

13  But  now  in  Christ  Jesus,  you,  who 
some  time  were  afar  off,  are  made  nigh 
by  the  blood  of  Christ.

14  For  he  is  our  peace,  who  hath  made 
both  one,  and  hath  broken  down  the  mid- 
dle wall  of  partition  between  us; 

15  Having  abolished  in  his  flesh  the 
enmity,  even  the  law  of  commandments 
contained  in  ordinances ;  for  to  make  in 
himself  of  twain  one  new  man,  so  making 
peace ; 

16  And  that  he  might  reconcile  both 
unto  God  in  one  body  by  the  cross,  hav-

17  And  came  and  preached  peace  to 
you  which  were  afar  off,  and  to  them  that 
were  nigh. 

18  For  through  him  we  both  have  ac-

and  brake  down  the  middle  wall  of 
partition,  15  having  abolished  in 
his  flesh  the  enmity,  even  the  law 
of  commandments  contained  in 
ordinances;  that  he  might  create  in 
himself  of  the  twain  one  new  man, 
so  making  peace;  16  and  might 
reconcile  them  both  in  one  body 
unto  God  through  the  cross,  having 
slain  the  enmity  thereby:  17  and 
he  came  and  preached  peace  to 
you  that  were  far  off,  and  peace 
to  them  that  were  nigh :  18  for 
through  him  we  both  have  our 
access  in  one  Spirit  unto  the 
Father.  19  So  then  ye  are  no  more 
strangers  and  sojourners,  but  ye

of  the  grace  of  God  which  is  given  me 
to  you-ward :

afore  in  few  words, 

4  Whereby,  when  ye  read,  ye  may  un-

of  Christ) 

5  Which  in  other  ages  was  not  made 
known  unto  the  sons  of  men,  as  it  is 
now  revealed  unto  his  holy  apostles  and

gospel :

the  promise  in  Christ  Jesus  through 
the  gospel,  7  whereof  I  was  made

now  in  Christ  Jesus  ye  that  once 
were  far  ofif  are  made  nigh  in  the 
blood  of  Christ.  14  For  he  is  our 
peace,  who  made  both  one,  and 
brake  down  the  middle  wall  of  par- 
tition, 15  having  abolished  in  his 
flesh  the  enmity,  even  the  law  of 
commandments  contained  in  ordi- 
nances ;  that  he  might  create  in 
himself  of  the  two  one  new  man, 
so  making  peace ;  16  and  might 
reconcile  them  both  in  one  body 
unto  God  through  the  cross,  hav-

whom  ye  also  are  builded  together 
for  a  habitation  of  God  in  the 
Spirit. 

TX)R  this  cause  I  Paul,  the  pris- 
O-T  oner  of  Christ  Jesus  in  be- 
half of  you  Gentiles, — 2  if  so  be 
that  ye  have  heard  of  the  dispensa- 
tion of  that  grace  of  God  which 
was  given  me  to  you-ward ;  3  how 
that  by  revelation  was  made  known 
unto  me  the  mystery,  as  I  wrote  be- 
fore in  few  words,  4  whereby,  when 
ye  read,  ye  can  perceive  my  under- 
standing in  the  mystery  of  Christ ; 
5  which  in  other  generations  was 
not  made  known  unto  the  sons  of 
men,  as  it  hath  now  been  revealed 
unto  his  holy  apostles  and  proph- 
ets in  the  Spirit;  6  to  wit,  that  the 
Gentiles  are  fellow-heirs,  and  fel- 
low-members of  the  body,  and  fel- 
low-partakers of  the  promise  in 
Christ  Jesus  through  the  gospel, 
7  whereof  I  was  made  a  minister, 
according  to  the  gift  of  that  grace 
of  God  which  was  given  me  accord- 
ing to  the  working  of  his  power. 


14  For  he  is  our  peace,  who  hath  made 
both  one,  and  breaking  down  the  middle 
wall  of  partition,  the  enmities  in  his 
flesh: 

15  Making  void  the  law  of  command- 
ments contained  in  decrees ;  that  he  might 
make  the  two  in  himself  into  one  new 
man,  making  peace ; 

16  And  might  reconcile  both  to  God  in 
one  body  by  the  cross,  killing  the  enmi- 
ties in  himself. 

17  And  coming,  he  preached  peace  to 
you  that  were  afar  off,  and  peace  to  them 
that  were  nigh. 

18  For  by  him  we  have  access  both  in 
•one  Spirit  to  the  Father. 

19  Now  therefore  you  are  no  more 
strangers  and  foreigners;  but  you  are 
fellow  citizens  with  the  saints,  and  the 
domestics  of  God, 

20  Built  upon  the  foundation  of  the 
apostles  and  prophets,  Jesus  Christ  him- 
self being  the  chief  corner  stone : 

21  In  whom  all  the  building,  being 
framed  together,  groweth  up  into  an  holy 
temple  in  the  Lord. 

22  In  whom  you  also  are  built  together 
into  an  habitation  of  God  in  the  Spirit.

IjXDR  this  cause,   I   Paul,   the  prisoner 
X?    of  Jesus  Christ,  for  you  Gentiles; 

2  If  yet  you  have  heard  of  the  dispen- 
sation of  the  grace  of  God  which  is  given 
me  towards  you : 

3  How  that,  according  to  revelation, 
the  mystery  has  been  made  known  to  me, 
as  I  have  written  above  in  a  few  words; 

4  As  you  reading,  may  understand  my 
knowledge  in  the  mystery  of   Christ, 

5  Which  in  other  generations  was  not 
known  to  the  sons  of  men,  as  it  is  now 
revealed  to  his  holy  apostles  and  proph- 
ets in  the  Spirit: 

6  That  the  Gentiles  should  be  fellow 
heirs,  and  of  the  same  body,  and  co- 
partners of  his  promise  in  Christ  Jesus, 
by  the  gospel: 

7  Of  which  I  am  made  a  minister,  ac- 
cording to  the  gift  of  the  grace  of  God, 
which  is  given  to  me  according  to  the 
operation  of  his  power : 

8  To  me,  the  least  of  all  the  saints,  is 
given   this   grace,   to   preach   among  the

of  all  saints,  is  this  grace  given,  that  I 
should  preach  among  the  Gentiles  the 
unsearchable  riches  of  Christ ; 

9  And  to  make  all  men  see  what  is  the 
fellowship  of  the  mystery,  which  from 
the  beginning  of  the  world  hath  been 
hid  in  God,  who  created  all  things  by 
Jesus  Christ: 

10  To  the  intent  that  now  unto  the 
principalities  and  powers  in  heavenly 
places  might  be  known  by  the  church 
the  manifold  wisdom  of  God, 

11  According  to  the  eternal  purpose 
which  he  purposed  in  Christ  Jesus  our 
Lord : 

12  In  whom  we  have  boldness  ancf 
access  with  confidence  by  the  faith  of 
him. 

13  Wherefore  I  desire  that  ye  faint 
not  at  my  tribulations  for  you,  which  is 
your  glory, 

14  For  this  cause  I  bow  my  knees  unto 
the  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 

15  Of  whom  the  whole  family  in  heaven 
and  earth  is  named, 

16  That  he  would  grant  you,  according 
to  the  riches  of  his  glory,  to  be  strength- 
ened with  might  by  his  Spirit  in  the 
inner  man ; 

17  That  Christ  may  dwell  in  your  hearts 
by  faith;  that  ye,  being  rooted  and 
grounded  in  love, 

18  May  be  able  to  comprehend  with  all 
saints  what  is  the  breadth,  and  length, 
and  depth,  and  height; 

19  And  to  know  the  love  of  Christ, 
which  passeth  knowledge,  that  ye  might 
be  filled  with  all  the  fulness  of  God. 

20  Now  unto  him  that  is  able  to  do 
exceeding  abundantly  above  all  that  we 
ask  or  think,  according  to  the  power  that 
worketh  in  us, 

21  Unto  him  be  glory  in  the  church  by 
Christ  Jesus  throughout  all  ages,  world 
without  end.    Amen.

17  that  Christ  may  dwell  in  your

of  Christ  which  passeth  knowledge, 
that  ye  may  be  filled  unto  all  the 
fulness  of  God. 

20  Now  unto  him  that  is  able 
ta  do  exceeding  abundantly  above

even  as  ye  are  called  in  one  hope  of  your 
calling ; 

5  One  Lord,  one  faith,  one  baptism, 

6  One  God  and  Father  of  all,  who  is 
above  all,  and  through  all,  and  in  you 
all. 

7  But  unto  every  one  of  us  is  given 
grace  according  to  the  measure  of  the 
gift  of  Christ. 

8  Wherefore  he  saith,  When  he  as- 
cended up  on  high,  he  led  captivity  cap- 
tive, and  gave  gifts  unto  men. 

9  (Now  that  he  ascended,  what  is  it 
but  that  he  also  descended  first  into  the 
lower  parts  of  the  earth? 

10  He  that  descended  is  the  same  also 
that  ascended  up  far  above  all  heavens, 
that  he  might  fill  all  things.) 

11  And  he  gave  some,  apostles;  and 
some,  prophets;  and  some,  evangelists; 
and  some,  pastors  and  teachers ; 

12  For  the  perfecting  of  the  saints, 
for  the  work  of  the  ministry,  for  the 
edifying  of  the  body  of  Christ : 

13  Till  we  all  come  in  the  unity  of  the 
faith,  and  of  the  knowledge  of  the  Son 
of  God,  unto  a  perfect  man,  unto  the 
measure  of  the  stature  of  the  fulness  of 
Christ : 

14  That  we  henceforth  be  no  more  chil- 
dren, tossed  to  and  fro,  and  carried  about 
with  every  wind  of  doctrine,  by  the 
sleight  of  men,  and  cunning  craftiness, 
whereby  they  lie  in  wait  to  deceive ; 

15  But  speaking  the  truth  in  love,  may 
grow  up  into  him  in  all  things,  which  is 
the  head,  even  Christ: 

16  From  whom  the  whole  body  fitly 
joined  together  and  compacted  by  that 
which  every  joint  supplieth,  according  to 
the  effectual  working  in  the  measure  of 
every  part,  maketh  increase  of  the  body 
unto  the  edifying  of  itself  in  love. 

17  This  I  say  therefore,  and  testify  in 
the  Lord,  that  ye  henceforth  walk  not  as 
other  Gentiles  walk,  in  the  vanity  of  their 
mind,  ~^" 

18  Having  the  understanding  darkened, 
being  alienated  from  the  life  of  God 
through  the  ignorance  that  is  in  them, 
because  of  the  blindness  of  their  heart: 

19  Who  being  past  feeling  have  given 
themselves  over  unto  lasciviousness,  to 
work  all  uncleanness  with  greediness. 

20  But  ye  have  not  so  learned  Christ ; 

21  If  so  be  that  ye  have  heard  him,  and 
have  been  taught  by  him,  as  the  truth  is 
in  Jesus : 

22  That    ye    put    off    concerning    the 


one  hope  of  your  calling;  5  one 
Lord,  one  faith,  one  baptism,  6  one 
God  and  Father  of  all,  who  is  over 
all,  and  through  all,  and  in  all. 
7  But  unto  each  one  of  us  was  the 
grace  given  according  to  the  meas- 
ure of  the  gift  of  Christ.  8  Where- 
fore he  saith, 

When  he  ascended  on  high,  he 
led  captivity  captive. 

And  gave  gifts  unto  men. 

9  (Now  this,  He  ascended,  what  is 
it  but  that  he  also  descended  into

pastors  and  teachers;  12  for  the 
perfecting  of  the  saints,  unto  the 
work  of  ministering,  unto  the 
building  up  of  the  body  of  Christ: 
13  till  we  all  attain  unto  the  unity 
of  the  faith,  and  of  the  knowledge 
of  the  Son  of  God,  unto  a  full- 
grown  man,  unto  the  measure  of 
the  stature  of  the  fulness  of 
Christ:  14  that  we  may  be  no 
longer  children,  tossed  to  and  fro 
and  carried  about  with  every  wind 
of  doctrine,  by  the  sleight  of  men, 
in  craftiness,  after  the  wiles  of 
error;  15  but  speaking  truth  in  love, 
may  grow  up  in  all  things  into 
him,  which  is  the  head,  even 
Christ ;  16  from  whom  all  the  body 
fitly  framed  and  knit  together

plieth, according  to  the  working  in 
due  measure  of  each  several  part, 
maketh  the  increase  of  the  body 
unto  the  building  up  of  itself  in 
love. 

17  This  I  say  therefore,  and  tes- 
tify in  the  Lord,  that  ye  no  longer 
walk  as  the  Gentiles  also  walk,  in 
the  vanity  of  their  mind,  18  being 
darkened  in  their  understanding,

13  till  we  all  attain  unto  the  unity 
of  the  faith,  and  of  the  knowledge 
of  the  Son  of  God,  unto  a  full- 
grown  man,  unto  the  measure  of

14  that  we  may  be  no  longer  chil- 
dren, tossed  to  and  fro  and  carried 
about  with  every  wind  of  doctrine, 
by  the  sleight  of  men,  in  craftiness, 
after  the  wiles  of  error;  15  but 
speaking  truth  in  love,  may  grow  up 
in  all  things  into  him,  who  is 
the  head,  even  Christ;  16  from 
whom  all  the  body  fitly  framed  and

the  working  in  due  measure  of  each 
several  part,  maketh  the  increase 
of  the  body  unto  the  building  up 
of  itself  in  love. 

17  This  I  say  therefore,  and 
testify  in  the  Lord,  that  ye  no 
longer  walk  as  the  Gentiles  also 
walk,  in  the  vanity  of  their  mind, 
18  being  darkened  in  their  under- 
standing, alienated  from  the  life 
of  God,  because  of  the  ignorance 
that  is  in  them,  because  of  the 
hardening  of  their  heart;  19  who 
being  past  feeling  gave  them- 
selves up  to  lasciviousness,  to 
work  all  uncleanness  with  greedi- 
ness. 20  But  ye  did  not  so  learn 
Christ;  21  if  so  be  that  ye  heard 
him,  and  were  taught  in  him,  even 


5  One  Lord,  one  faith,  one  baptism. 

6  One  God  and  Father  of  all,  who  is 
above  all,  and  through  all,  and  in  us  all. 

7  But  to  every  one  of  us  is  given 
grace,  according  to  the  measure  of  the 
giving  of  Christ. 

8  Wherefore  he  saith:  Ascending  on 
high,  he  led  captivity  captive;  he  gave 
gifts  to  men. 

9'  Now  that  he  ascended,  what  is  it,  but 
because  he  also  descended  first  into  the 
lower  parts  of  the  earth? 

10  He  that  descended  is  the  same  also 
that  ascended  above  all  the  heavens,  that 
he  might  fill  all  things. 

11  And  he  gave  some  apostles,  and 
some  prophets,  and  other  some  evangel- 
ists, and  other  some  pastors  and  doctors, 

12  For  the  perfecting  of  the  saints,  for 
the  work  of  the  ministry,  for  the  edify- 
ing of  the  body  of  Christ: 

13  Until  we  all  meet  into  the  unity  of 
faith,  and  of  the  knowledge  of  the  Son 
of  God,  unto  a  perfect  man,  unto  the 
measure  of  the  age  of  the  fulness  of 
Christ ; 

14  That  henceforth  we  be  no  more

about  with  every  wind  of  doctrine  by 
the  wickedness  of  men,  by  cunning 
craftiness,  by  which  they  lie  in  wait 
to  deceive. 

15  But  doing  the  truth  in  charity,  we 
may  in  all  things  grow  up  in  him  who  is 
the  head,  even  Christ : 

16  From  whom  the  whole  body,  being 
compacted  and  fitly  joined  together,  by 
what  every  joint  supplieth,  according  to 
the  operation  in  the  measure  of  every 
part,  maketh  increase  of  the  body,  unto

18  Having  their  understanding  dark- 
ened, being  alienated  from  the  life  of 
God  through  the  ignorance  that  is  in 
them,  because  of  the  blindness  of  their 
hearts. 

19  Who  despairing,  have  given  them- 
selves up  to  lasciviousness,  unto  the 
working  of  all  uncleanness,  unto  covet- 
ousness. 

20  But  you  have  not  so  learned  Christ;

of  his  flesh,  and  of  his  bones. 

31  For  this  cause  shall  a  man  leave 
his  father  and  mother,  and  shall  be 
joined  unto  his  wife,  and  they  two  shall 
be  one  flesh. 

32  This  is  a  great  mystery:  but  I  speak 
concerning  Christ  and  the  church. 

33  Nevertheless  let  every  one  of  you  in 
particular  so  love  his  wife  even  as  him- 
self; and  the  wife  see  that  she  reverence 
her  husband. 


CHAPTER  6. 

CHILDREN,  obey  your  parents  in  the 
Lord :  for  this  is  right. 

2  Honour  thy  father  and  mother ;  which 
is  the  first  commandment  with  promise ; 

3  That  it  may  be  well  with  thee,  and 
thou  mayest  live  long  on  the  earth. 

4  And,  ye  fathers,  provoke  not  your 
children  to  wrath :  but  bring  them  up  in 
the  nurture  and  admonition  of  the  Lord. 

5  Servants,  be  obedient  to  them  that 
are  your  masters  according  to  the  flesh, 
with  fear  and  trembling,  in  singleness  of 
your  heart,  as  unto  Christ ; 

6  Not  with  eyeservice,  as  men-pleasers  ; 
but  as  the  servants  of  Christ,  doing  the 
will  of  God  from  the  heart ; 

7  With  good  will  doing  service,  as  to 
the  Lord,  and  not  to  men : 

8  Knowing  that  whatsoever  good  thing 
any  man  doeth,  the  same  shall  he  receive 
of  the  Lord,  whether  he  be  bond  or  free. 

9  And,  ye  masters,  do  the  same  things 
unto  them,  forbearing  threatening :  know- 
ing that  your  Master  also  is  in  heaven ; 
neither  is  there  respect  of  persons  with 
him. 

10  Finally,  my  brethren,  be  strong  in 
the  Lord,  and  in  the  power  of  his  might. 

11  Put  on  the  whole  armour  of  God, 
that  ye  may  be  able  to  stand  against  the 
wiles  of  the  devil. 

12  For  we  wrestle  not  against  flesh  and 
blood,  but  against  principalities,  against 
powers,  against  the  rulers  of  the  dark- 
ness of  this  world,  against  spiritual  wick- 
edness in  high  places. 

13  Wherefore  take  unto  you  the  whole 
armour  of  God,  that  ye  may  be  able  to 
withstand  in  the  evil  day,  and  having 
^one  all,  to  stand, 


their  own  bodies.  He  that  loveth 
his  own  wife  loveth  himself :  29 
for  no  man  ever  hated  his  own 
flesh;  but  nourisheth  and  cherish- 
eth it,  even  as  Christ  also  the 
church ;  30  because  we  are  mem- 
bers of  his  body.  31  For  this 
cause  shall  a  man  leave  his  father 
and  mother,  and  shall  cleave  to  his 
wife;  and  the  twain  shall  become 
one  flesh.  32  This  mystery  is 
great:  but  I  speak  in  regard  of 
Christ  and  of  the  church.  33  Nev- 
ertheless do  ye  also  severally  love 
each  one  his  own  wife  even  as  him- 
self;  and  let  the  wife  see  that  she 
fear  her  husband.

your  children  to  wrath :  but  nur- 
ture them  in  the  chastening  and 
admonition  of  the  Lord. 

5  Servants,  be  obedient  unto 
them  that  according  to  the  flesh 
are  your  masters,  with  fear  and 
trembling,  in  singleness  of  your 
heart,  as  unto  Christ;  6  not  in  the 
way  of  eyeservice,  as  men-pleasers ; 
but  as  servants  of  Christ,  doing 
the   will   of   God    from   the  heart; 

7  with  good  will  doing  service,  as 
unto  the  Lord,  and  not  unto  men: 

8  knowing  that  whatsoever  good 
thing  each  one  doeth,  the  same  shall 
he  receive  again  from  the  Lord, 
whether  he  be  bond  or  free.  9  And, 
ye  masters,  do  the  same  things  unto 
them,  and  forbear  threatening: 
knowing  that  both  their  Master 
and  yours  is  in  heaven,  and  there 
is  no  respect  of  persons  with  him. 

10  Finally,  be  strong  in  the  Lord, 
and  in  the  strength   of  his   might.

God,  that  ye  may  be  able  to  stand

principalities,  against  the  powers, 
against  the  world-rulers  of  this 
darkness,      against      the      spiritual

CHAPTER  I. 

PAUL  and  Timotheus,  the  servants  of 
Jesus  Christ,  to  all  the  saints  in 
Christ  Jesus  which  are  at  Philippi,  with 
the  bishops  and  deacons: 

2  Grace  be  unto  you,  and  peace,  from 
God  our  Father,  and  from  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ. 

3  I  thank  my  God  upon  every  remem- 
brance of  you, 

4  Always  in  every  prayer  of  mine  for 
you  all  making  request  with  joy, 

5  For  your  fellowship  in  the  gospel 
from  the  first  day  until  now; 

6  Being  confident  of  this  very  thing, 
that  he  which  hath  begun  a  good  work 
in  you  will  perform  it  until  the  day  of 
Jesus  Christ : 

7  Even  as  it  is  meet  for  me  to  think 
this  of  you  all,  because  I  have  you  in  my 
heart;  inasmuch  as  both  in  my  bonds,  and 
in  the  defence  and  confirmation  of  the 
gospel,  ye  all  are  partakers  of  my  grace. 

8  For  God  is  my  record,  how  greatly 
I  long  after  you  all  in  the  bowels  of  Jesus 
Christ. 

9  And  this  I  pray,  that  your  love  may 
abound  yet  more  and  more  in  knowledge 
and  in  all  judgment; 

ID  That  ye  may  approve  things  that 
are  excellent;  that  ye  may  be  sincere 
and  without  offence  till  the  day  of 
Christ ; 

11  Being  filled  with  the  fruits  of  right- 
eousness, which  are  by  Jesus  Christ,  unto 
the  glory  and  praise  of  God. 

12  But  I  would  ye  should  understand, 
brethren,  that  the  things  which  happened 
unto  me  have  fallen  out  rather  unto  the 
furtherance  of  the  gospel ; 

13  So  that  my  bonds  in  Christ  are 
manifest  in  all  the  palace,  and  in  all  other 
places; 

14  And  many  of  the  brethren  in  the 
Lord,  waxing  confident  by  my  bonds,  are 
much  more  bold  to  speak  the  word  with- 
out fear.

envy  and  strife ;  and  some  also  of  good 
will:

from  God  our  Father  and  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ. 

3  I  thank  my  God  upon  all  my 
remembrance  of  you,  4  always  in 
every  supplication  of  mine  on  behalf 
of  you  all  making  my  supplication 
with  joy,  5  for  your  fellowship  in 
furtherance  of  the  gospel  from  the 
first  day  until  now;  6  being  confi- 
dent of  this  very  thing,  that  he 
which  began  a  good  work  in  you 
will  perfect  it  until  the  day  of 
Jesus  Christ:  7  even  as  it  is  right 
for  me  to  be  thus  minded  on  behalf 
of  you  all,  because  I  have  you  in 
my  heart,  inasmuch  as,  both  in  my 
bonds  and  in  the  defence  and  con- 
firmation of  the  gospel,  ye  all  are 
partakers  with  me  of  grace.  8  For 
God  is  rny  witness,  how  I  long 
after  you' all  in  the  tender  mercies 
of  Christ  Jesus.  9  And  this  I  pray, 
that  your  love  may  abound  yet 
more  and  more  in  knowledge  and 
all  discernment;  10  so  that  ye  may 
approve  the  things  that  are  ex- 
cellent ;  that  ye  may  be  sincere 
and  void  of  offence  unto  the  day 
of  Christ;  11  being  filled  with  the 
fruits  of  righteousness,  which  are 
through  Jesus  Christ,  unto  the 
glory  and  praise  of  God. 

12  Now  I  would  have  you  know, 
brethren,  that  the  things  which  hap- 
pened unto  me  have  fallen  out 
rather  unto  the  progress  of  the  gos- 
pel ;  13  so  that  my  bonds  became 
manifest  in  Christ  throughout  the 
whole  praetorian  guard,  and  to  all 
the  rest;  14  and  that  most  of  the 
brethren  in  the  Lord,  being  con-

THE  EPISTLE  OF  PAUL  THE  APOSTLE  TO  THE 
PHILIPPIANS      ' 


PAUL  and  Timothy,  servants 
of  Christ  Jesus,  to  all  the 
saints  in  Christ  Jesus  that  are  at 
Philippi,  with  the  bishops  and  dea- 
cons :  2  Grace  to  you  and  peace 
from  God  our  Father  and  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ. 

3  I  thank  my  God  upon  all  my 
remembrance  of  you,  4  always  in 
every  supplication  of  mine  on  behalf 
of  you  all  making  my  supplication 
with  joy,  5  for  your  fellowship  in 
furtherance  of  the  gospel  from  the 
first  day  until  now;  6  being  confi- 
dent of  this  very  thing,  that  he  who 
began  a  good  work  in  you  will 
perfect  it  until  the  day  of  Jesus 
Christ:  7  even  as  it  is  right  for  me 
to  be  thus  minded  on  behalf  of  you 
all,  because  I  have  you  in  my  heart, 
inasmuch  as,  both  in  my  bonds  and 
in  the  defence  and  confirmation  of 
the  gospel,  ye  all  are  partakers  with 
me  of  grace.  8  For  God  is  my  wit- 
ness, how  I  long  after  you  all  in 
the  tender  mercies  of  Christ  Jesus. 
9  And  this  I  pray,  that  your  love 
may  abound  yet  more  and  more  in 
knowledge  and  all  discernment:  10 
so  that  ye  may  approve  the  things 
that  are  excellent;  that  ye  may  be 
sincere  and  void  of  offence  unto 
the  day  of  Christ;  11  being  filled 
with  the  fruits  of  righteousness, 
which  are  through  Jesus  Christ, 
unto  the  glory  and  praise  of  God. 

12  Now  I  would  have  you  know, 
brethren,  that  the  things  which  hap- 
pened unto  me  have  fallen  out 
rather  unto  the  progress  of  the  gos- 
pel;  13  so  that  my  bonds  became 
manifest  in  Christ  throughout  the 
whole  praetorian  guard,  and  to  all 
the  rest;  14  and  that  most  of  the 
brethren  in  the  Lord,  being  con- 
fident through  my  bonds,  are  more 
abundantly  bold  to  speak  the  word 
of  God  without  fear.  15  Some  in-

CHAPTER  I. 

PAUL  and  Timothy,  the  servants  of 
Jesus  Christ;  to  all  the  saints  in 
Christ  Jesus,  who  are  at  Philippi,  with 
the  bishops  and  deacons. 

2  Grace  be  unto  you,  and  peace  from 
God  our  Father,  and  from  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ. 

3  I  give  thanks  to  my  God  in  every 
remembrance  of  you, 

4  Always  in  all  my  prayers  making  sup- 
plication for  you  all,  with  joy;    • 

5  For  your  communication  in  the  gos- 
pel of  Christ  from  the  first  day  until 
now. 

6  Being  confident  of  this  very  thing, 
that  he,  who  hath  begun  a  good  work  in 
you,  will  perfect  it  unto  the  day  of  Christ 
Jesus. 

7  As  it  is  meet  for  me  to  think  this  for 
you  all,  for  that  I  have  you  in  my  heart; 
and  that  in  my  bands,  and  in  the  defence 
and  confirmation  of  the  gospel,  you  all 
are  partakers  of  my  joy. 

8  For  God  is  my  witness,  how  I  long 
after  you  all  in  the  bowels  of  Jesus  Christ. 

9  And  this  I  pray,  that  your  charity 
may  more  and  more  abound  in  knowl- 
edge, and  in  all  understanding : 

10  That  you  may  approve  the  better 
things,  that  you  may  be  sincere  and  with- 
out offence  unto  the  day  of  Christ, 

11  Filled  with  the  fruit  of  justice, 
through  Jesus  Christ,  unto  the  glory  and 
praise  of  God. 

12  Now,  brethren,  I  desire  you  should 
know,  that  the  things  which  have  hap- 
pened to  me,  have  fallen  out  rather  to 
the  furtherance  of  the  gospel : 

13  So  that  my  bands  are  made  manifest 
in  Christ,  in  all  the  court,  and  in  all  other 
places : 

14  And  many  of  the  brethren  in  the 
Lord,  growing  confident  by  my  bands,  are 
much  more  bold  to  speak  the  word  of 
God  without  fear. 

15  Some  indeed,  even  out  of  envy  and 
contention;  but  some  also  for  good  will 
preach  Christ. 

16  Some  out  of  charity,  knowing  that 
I  am  set  for  the  defence  of  the  gospel.

not  sincerely,  supposing  to  add  affliction 
to  my  bonds: 

17  But  the  other  of  love,  knowing  that 
I  am  set  for  the  defence  of  the  gospel. 

18  What  then?  notwithstanding,  every- 
way, whether  in  pretence,  or  in  truth, 
Christ  is  preached;  and  I  therein  do 
rejoice,  yea,  and  will  rejoice. 

19  For  I  know  that  this  shall  turn  to 
my  salvation  through  your  prayer,  and 
the  supply  of  the  Spirit  of  Jesus  Christ, 

20  According  to  my  earnest  expectation 
and  my  hope,  that  in  nothing  I  shall  be 
ashamed,  but  that  with  all  boldness,  as 
always,  so  now  also  Christ  shall  be  mag- 
nified in  my  body,  whether  it  be  by  life, 
or  by  death. 

21  For  to  me  to  live  is  Christ,  and  to 
die  is  gain. 

22  But  if  I  live  in  the  flesh,  this  is 
the  fruit  of  my  labour:  yet  what  I  shall 
choose  I  wot  not. 

23  For  I  am  in  a  strait  betwixt  two, 
having  a  desire  to  depart,  and  to  be  with 
Christ;  which  is  far  better: 

24  Nevertheless  to  abide  in  the  flesh  is 
more  needful  for  you. 

25  And  having  this  confidence,  I  know 
that  I  shall  abide  and  continue  with  you 
all  for  your  furtherance  and  joy  of  faith; 

26  That  your  rejoicing  may  be  more 
abundant  in  Jesus  Christ  for  me  by  my 
coming  to  you  again. 

27  Only  let  your  conversation  be  as  it  be- 
cometh  the  gospel  of  Christ :  that  whether 
I  come  and  see  you,  or  else  be  absent,  I 
may  hear  of  your  affairs,  that  ye  stand 
fast  in  one  spirit,  with  one  mind  striving 
together  for  the  faith  of  the  gospel; 

28  And  in  nothing  terrified  by  your  ad- 
versaries :  which  is  to  them  an  evident 
token  of  perdition,  but  to  you  of  salvation, 
and  that  of  God. 

29  For  unto  you  it  is  given  in  the 
behalf  of  Christ,  not  only  to  believe  on 
him,  but  also  to  suffer  for  his  sake; 

30  Having  the  same  conflict  which  ye 
saw  in  me,  and  now  hear  to  be  in  me.

IF  there  be  therefore  any  consolation  in 
Christ,  if  any  comfort  of  love,  if  any 
fellowship  of  the  Spirit,  if  any  bowels  and 
mercies,

one  accord,  of  one  mind.

of  the  gospej:  17  but  the  other  pro- 
claim Christ  of  faction,  not  sin- 
cerely, thinking  to  raise  up  affliction 
for  me  in  my  bonds,  18  What 
then?  only  that  in  every  way, 
whether  in  pretence  or  in  truth, 
Christ  is  proclaimed;  and  therein  I 
rejoice,  yea,  and  will  rejoice.  19 
For  I  know  that  this  shall  turn  to 
my  salvation,  through  your  suppli- 
cation and  the  supply  of  the  Spirit 
of  Jesus  Christ,  20  according  to  my 
earnest  expectation  and  hope,  that 
in  nothing  shall  I  be  put  to  shame, 
but  that  with  all  boldness,  as  al- 
ways, so  now  also  Christ  shall  be 
magnified  in  my  body,  whether  by 
life,  or  by  death.  21  For  to  me  to 
live   is    Christ,   and   to   die   is   gain. 

22  But  if  to  live  in  the  flesh,—*/ 
this  is  the  fruit  of  my  work,  then 
what    I    shall    choose    I    wot    not. 

23  But  I  am  in  a  strait  betwixt  the 
two,  having  the  desire  to  depart 
and  be  with  Christ ;  for  it  is  very 
far  better :  24  yet  to  abide  in  the 
flesh  is  more  needful  for  your  sake. 
25  And  having  this  confidence,  I 
know  that  I  shall  abide,  yea,  and 
abide  with  you  all,  for  your  prog- 
ress and  joy  in  the  faith;  26  that 
your  glorying  may  abound  in 
Christ  Jesus  in  me  through  my  pres- 
ence with  you  again.  27  Only  let 
your  manner  of  life  be  worthy  of 
the  gospel  of  Christ:  that,  whether 
I  come  and  see  you  or  be  absent,  I 
may  hear  of  your  state,  that  ye 
stand  fast  in  one  spirit,  with  one 
soul  striving  for  the  faith  of  the 
gospel ;  28  and  in  nothing  affrighted 
by  the  adversaries :  which  is  for 
them  an  evident  token  of  perdition, 
but  of  your  salvation,  and  that  from 
God ;  29  because  to  you  it  hath  been 
granted  in  the  behalf  of  Christ,  not 
only  to  believe  on  him,  but  also  to 
suffer  in  his  behalf:  30  having  the 
same  conflict  which  ye  saw  in  me,

the  Spirit,  if  any  tender  mercies 
and  compassions,  2  fulfil  ye  my  joy,

means,  whether  by  occasion,  or  by  truth,

yea,  and  will  rejoice. 

19  For  I  know  that  this  shall  fall  out  to 
me  unto  salvation, through  your  prayer,  and

22  And  if  to  live  in  the  flesh,  this  is  to 
me  the  fruit  of  labour,  and  what  I  shall

23  But  I  am  straitened  between  two: 
having  a  desire  to  be  dissolved  and  to  be

needful   for  you. 

25  And  having  this  confidence,  I  know 
that  I  shall  abide,  and  continue  with  you

3  Let  nothing  be  done  through  strife 
or  vainglory :  but  in  lowliness  of  mind  let 
each  esteem  other  better  than  themselves. 

4  Look  not  every  man  on  his  own 
things,  but  every  man  also  on  the  things 
of  others, 

5  Let  this  mind  be  in  you,  which  was 
also  in  Christ  Jesus : 

6  Who,  being  in  the  form  of  God, 
thought  it  not  robbery  to  be  equal  with 
God: 

7  But  made  himself  of  no  reputation, 
and  took  upon  him  the  form  of  a 
servant,  and  was  made  in  the  likeness  of 
men: 

8  And  being  found  in  fashion  as  a  man, 
he  humbled  himself,  and  became  obedi- 
ent unto  death,  even  the  death  of  the 
cross. 

9  Wherefore  God  also  hath  highly  ex- 
alted him,  and  given  him  a  name  which 
is  above  every  name: 

10  That  at  the  name  of  Jesus  every 
knee  should  bow,  of  things  in  heaven,  and 
things  in  earth,  and  things  under  the 
earth ; 

11  And  that  every  tongue  should  con- 
fess that  Jesus  Christ  is  Lord,  to  the 
glory  of  God  the  Father. 

12  Wherefore,  my  beloved,  as  ye  have 
always  obeyed,  not  as  in  my  presence  only, 
but  now  much  more  in  my  absence,  work 
out  your  own  salvation  with  fear  and 
trembling. 

13  For  it  is  God  which  worketh  in 
you  both  to  will  and  to  do  of  his  good 
pleasure. 

14  Do  all  things  without  murmurings 
and  disputings: 

15  That  ye  may  be  blameless  and  harm- 
less, the  sons  of  God,  without  rebuke, 
in  the  midst  of  a  crooked  and  perverse 
nation,  among  whom  ye  shine  as  lights  in 
the  world; 

16  Holding  forth  the  word  of  life ;  that 
I  may  rejoice  in  the  day  of  Christ,  that 
I  have  not  run  in  vain,  neither  laboured 
in  vain. 

17  Yea,  and  if  I  be  offered  upon  the 
sacrifice  and  service  of  your  faith,  I  joy, 
and  rejoice  with  you  all. 

18  For  the  same  cause  also  do  ye  joy, 
and  rejoice  with  me. 

19  But  I  trust  in  the  Lord  Jesus  to  send 
Timotheus  shortly  unto  you,  that  I  also 
may  be  of  good  comfort,  when  I  know 
your  state. 

20  For  I  have  no  man  likeminded,  who 
will  naturally  care  for  your  state. 


accord,  of  one  mind ;  3  doing  noth-

than  himself;  4  not  looking  each 
of  you  to  his  own  things,  but  each 
of  you  also  to  the  things  of  others. 
5  Have  this  mind  in  you,  which 
was  also  in  Christ  Jesus :  6  who, 
being  in  the  form  of  God,  counted 
it  not  a  prize  to  be  on  an  equality 
with  God,  7  but  emptied  himself, 
taking  the  form  of  a  servant,  be- 
ing made  in  the  likeness  of  men ; 
8  and  being  found  in  fashion  as  a 
man,  he  humbled  himself,  becoming 
obedient  even  unto  death,  yea,  the 
death  of  the  cross.  9  Wherefore 
also  God  highly  exalted  him,  and 
gave  unto  him  the  name  which  is 
above  every  name;  10  that  in  the 
name  of  Jesus  every  knee  should 
bow,  of  things  in  heaven  and  things 
on  earth  and  things  under  the  earth, 
II  and  that  every  tongue  should 
confess  that  Jesus  Christ  is  Lord,  to 
the  glory  of  God  the  Father. 

12  So  then,  my  beloved,  even  as 
ye  have  always  obeyed,  not  as  in 
my  presence  only,  but  now  much 
more  in  my  absence,  work  out  your 
own  salvation  with  fear  and  trem- 
bling; 13  for  it  is  God  which  work- 
eth in  you  both  to  will  and  to  work, 
for  his  good  pleasure.  14  Do  all 
things  without  ,  murmurings  and 
disputings ;  15  that  ye  may  be 
blameless  and  harmless,  children 
of  God  without  blemish  in  the  midst 
of  a  crooked  and  perverse  genera- 
tion, among  whom  ye  are  seen  as 
lights  in  the  world,  16  holding  forth 
the  word  of  life;  that  I  may  have 
whereof  to  glory  in  the  day  of 
Christ,  that  I  did  not  run  in  vain 
neither  labour  in  vain.  17  Yea,  and 
if  I  am  offered  upon  the  sacrifice 
and  service  of  your  faith,  I  joy, 
and  rejoice  with  you  all :  18  and  in 
the  same  manner  do  ye  also  joy,

being  on  an  equality  with  God  a 
thing  to  be  grasped,  7  but  emptied 
himself,  taking  the  form  of  a  serv- 
ant, being  made  in  the  hkeness  of 
men ;  8  and  being  found  in  fashion 
as  a  man,  he  humbled  himself,  be- 
coming obedient  even  unto  death, 
yea,  the  death  of  the  cross.  9 
Wherefore  also  God  highly  exalted 
him,  and  gave  unto  him  the  name 
which  is  above  every  name;  10  that 
in  the  name  of  Jesus  every  knee 
should  bow,  of  things  in  heaven  and 
things  on  earth  and  things  under 
the  earth,  11  and  that  every  tongue 
should  confess  that  Jesus  Christ  is 
Lord,  to  the  glory  of  God  the  Fa- 
ther. 

12  So  then,  my  beloved,  even  as 
ye  have  always  obeyed,  not  as  in 
my  presence  only,  but  now  much 
more  in  my  absence,  work  out  your 
own  salvation  with  fear  and  trem- 
bling; 13  for  it  is  God  who  work- 
eth  in  you  both  to  will  and  to  work, 
for  his  good  pleasure.  14  Do  all 
things  without  murmurings  and 
questionings;  15  that  ye  may  be- 
come blameless  and  harmless,  chil- 
dren of  God  without  blemish  in  the 
midst*  of  a  crooked  and  perverse 
generation,  among  whom  ye  are 
seen  as  lights  in  the  world,  16  hold- 
ing forth  the  word  of  life:  that  I 
may  have  whereof  to  glory  in  the 
day  of  Christ,  that  I  did  not  run 
in  vain  neither  labor  in  vain.  17 
Yea,  and  if  I  am  offered  upon  the 
sacrifice  and  service  of  your  faith, 
I  joy,  and  rejoice  with  you  all : 
18  and  in  the  same  manner  do  ye 
also  joy,  and  rejoice  with  me. 

19  But  I  hope  in  the  Lord  Jesus 
to  send  Timothy  shortly  unto  you, 
that  I  also  may  be  of  good  com- 
fort, when  I  know  your  state.  20 
For  I  have  no  man  likeminded,  who 
will  care  truly  for  your  state.  21 
For  they  all  seek  their  own,  not  the 


3  Let  nothing  be  done  through  conten- 
tion, neither  by  vain  glory:  but  in  hu- 
mility, let  each  esteem  others  better  than 
themselves : 

4  Each  one  not  considering  the  things 
that  are  his  own,  but  those  that  are  other 
men's. 

5  For  let  this  mind  be  in  you,  which  was 
also    in    Christ   Jesus : 

6  Who  being  in  the  form  of  God, 
thought  it  not  robbery  to  be  equal  with 
God: 

7  But  emptied  himself,  taking  the  form 
of  a  servant,  being  made  in  the  likeness 
of  men,  and  in  habit  found  as  a  man. 

8  He  humbled  himself,  becoming  obedi- 
ent unto  death,  even  to  the  death  of  the 
cross. 

9  For  which  cause  God  also  hath  ex- 
alted him,  and  hath  given  him  a  name 
which  is  above  all  names: 

10  That  in  the  name  of  Jesus  every 
knee  should  bow,  of  those  that  are  in 
heaven,  on  earth,  and  under  the  earth: 

11  And  that  every  tongue  should  con- 
fess that  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  is  in  the 
glory  of  God  the  Father. 

12  Wherefore,  my  dearly  beloved,  (as 
you  have  always  obeyed,  not  as  in  my 
presence  only,  but  much  more  now  in  my 
absence,)  with  fear  and  trembling  work 
out  your  salvation. 

13  For  it  is  God  who  worketh  in  you, 
both  to  will  and  to  accomplish,  according 
to  his  good  will. 

14  And  do  ye  all  things  without  mur- 
murings and  hesitations; 

15  That  you  may  be  blameless,  and  sin- 
cere children  of  God,  without  reproof,  in 
the  midst  of  a  crooked  and  perverse  gen- 
eration; among  whom  you  shine  as  lights 
in  the  world. 

16  Holding  forth  the  word  of  life  to 
m^  glory  in  the  day  of  Christ,  because  I 
have  not  run  in  vain,  nor  laboured  in 
vain. 

17  Yea,  and  if  I  be  made  a  victim  upon 
the  sacrifice  and  service  of  your  faith,  I 
rejoice,  and   congratulate  with  you  all. 

18  And  for  the  selfsame  thing  do  you 
also  rejoice,  and  congratulate  with  me. 

19  And  I  hope  in  the  Lord  Jesus  to 
send  Timothy  unto  you  shortly,  that  I 
also  may  be  of  good  comfort,  when  I 
know  the  things  concerning  you. 

20  For  I  have  no  man  so  of  the  same 
mind,  who  with  sincere  affection  is  so- 
licitous for  you. 

21  For   all    seek   the   things    that    are 


342      AUTHORIZED

21  For  all  seek  their  own,  not  the 
things  which  are  Jesus  Christ's. 

22  But  ye  know  the  proof  of  him,  that, 
as  a  son  with  the  father,  he  hath  served 
with  me  in  the  gospel. 

23  Him  therefore  I  hope  to  send  pres- 
ently, so  soon  as  I  shall  see  how  it  will 
go  with  me. 

24  But  I  trust  in  the  Lord  that  I  also 
myself  shall  come  shortly. 

25  Yet  I  supposed  it  necessary  to  send 
to  you  Epaphroditus,  my  brother,  and 
companion  in  labour,  and  fellowsoldier, 
but  your  messenger,  and  he  that  minis- 
tered to  my  wants, 

26  For  he  longed  after  you  all,  and  was 
full  of  heaviness,  because  that  ye  had 
heard  that  he  had  been  sick. 

2"]  For  indeed  he  was  sick  nigh  unto 
death :  but  God  had  mercy  on  him ;  and 
not  on  him  only,  but  on  me  also,  lest  I 
should  have  sorrow  upon  sorrow. 

28  I  sent  him  therefore  the  more  care- 
fully, that,  when  ye  see  him  again,  ye 
may  rejoice,  and  that  I  may  be  the  less 
sorrowful. 

29  Receive  him  therefore  in  the  Lord 
with  all  gladness;  and  hold  such  in  repu- 
tation : 

30  Because  for  the  work  of  Christ  he 
was  nigh  unto  death,  not  regarding  his 
life,  to  supply  your  lack  of  service  to- 
ward me.

FINALLY,  my  brethren,  rejoice  in  the 
Lord.  To  write  the  same  things  to 
you,  to  me  indeed  is  not  grievous,  but 
for  you  it  is  safe.

3  For  we  are  the  circumcision,  which 
worship  God  in  the  spirit,  and  rejoice  in 
Christ  Jesus,  and  have  no  confidence  in 
the  flesh. 

4  Though  I  might  also  have  confidence 
in  the  flesh.  If  any  other  man  thinketh 
that  he  hath  whereof  he  might  trust  in 
the  flesh,  I  more:

you  all,  and  was  sore  troubled,  be-

sick :  27  for  indeed  he  was  sick  nigh 
unto  death :  but  God  had  mercy  on 
him ;  and  not  on  him  only,  but  on 
me  also,  that  I  might  not  have  sor-

came  nigh  unto  death,  hazarding 
his  life  to  supply  that  which  was 
lacking  in  your  service  toward  me.

O-T  in  the  Lord.  To  write  the

is  not  irksome,  but  for  you  it  is 
safe.  2  Beware  of  the  dogs,  beware 
of  the  evil  workers,  beware  of  the

cision, who  worship  by  the  Spirit 
of  God,  and  glory  in  Christ  Jesus, 
and  have  no  confidence  in  the  flesh : 
4  though  I  myself  might  have  con- 
fidence even  in  the  flesh :  if  any 
other  man  thinketh  to  have  confi-

circumcised  the  eighth  day,  of  the

were    gain    to    me,    these    have    I 


their  own;  not  the  things  that  are  Jesus 
Christ's. 

22  Now  know  ye  the  proof  of  him,  that 
as  a  son  with  the  father,  so  hath  he 
served  with  me  in  the  gospel. 

23  Him  therefore  I  hope  to  send  unto

and  fellow  labourer,  and  fellow  soldier, 
but  your  apostle,  and  he  that  hath  min- 
istered to  my  wants. 

26  For  indeed  he  longed  after  you  all: 
and  was  sad,  for  that  you  had  heard  that 
he  was  sick. 

27  For  indeed  he  was  sick,  nigh  unto 
death;  but  God  had  mercy  on  him;  and 
not  only  on  him,  but  on  me  also,  lest  I 
should   have   sorrow   upon   sorrow. 

28  Therefore  I  sent  him  the  more 
speedily :  that  seeing  him  again,  you  may 
rejoice,  and  I  may  be  without  sorrow. 

29  Receive  him  therefore  with  all  joy 
in  the  Lord;  and  treat  with  honour  such 
as  he  is. 

30  Because  for  the  work  of  Christ  he 
came  to  the  point  of  death :  delivering 
his  life,  that  he  might  fulfil  that  which 
on  your  part  was  wanting  towards  my 
service. 

CHAPTER  3. 

AS  to  the  rest,  my  brethren,  rejoice  in 
the  Lord.  To  write  the  same  things 
to  you,  to  me  indeed  is  not  wearisome, 
but  to  you  is  necessary. 

2  Beware  of  dogs,  beware  of  evil  work- 
ers, beware  of  the  concision. 

3  For  we  are  the  circumcision,  who  in 
spirit  serve  God;  and  glory  in  Christ 
Jesus,  not  having  confidence  in  the  flesh. 

4  Though  I  might  also  have  confidence 
in  the  flesh.  H  any  other  thinketh  he 
may  have  confidence  in  the  flesh,  I  more, 

5  Being  circumcised  the  eighth  day,  of

church  of  God;  according  to  the  justice 
that  is  in  the  law,  conversing  without 
blame.

the  same  I  have  counted  loss  for  Christ.

8  Yea  doubtless,  and  I  count  all  things 
but  loss  for  the  excellency  of  the  knowl- 
edge of  Christ  Jesus  my  Lord :  for  whom 
I  have  suffered  the  loss  of  all  things,  and 
do  count  them  but  dung,  that  I  may  win 
Christ, 

9  And  be  found  in  him,  not  having 
mine  own  righteousness,  which  is  of  the 
law,  but  that  which  is  through  the  faith 
of  Christ,  the  rigfiteousness  which  is  of 
God  by  faith : 

10  That  I  may  know  him,  and  the  power 
of  his  resurrection,  and  the  fellowship 
of  his  sufferings,  being  made  conformable 
unto  his  death; 

11  If  by  any  means  I  might  attain  unto 
the  resurrection  of  the  dead. 

12  Not  as  though  I  had  already  at- 
tained, either  were  already  perfect :  but 
I  follow  after,  if  that  I  may  apprehend 
that  for  which  also  I  am  apprehended  of 
Christ  Jesus. 

13  Brethren,  I  count  not  myself  to  have 
apprehended:  but  this  one  thing  /  do, 
forgetting  those  things  which  are  behind, 
and  reaching  forth  unto  those  things 
which  are  before, 

14  I  press  toward  the  mark  for  _the 
prize  of  the  high  calling  of  God  in  Christ 
Jesus. 

15  Let  us  therefore,  as  many  as  be  per- 
fect, be  thus  minded:  and  if  in  any  thing 
ye  be  otherwise  minded,  God  shall  reveal 
even  this  unto  you. 

16  Nevertheless,  whereto  we  have  al- 
ready attained,  let  us  walk  by  the  same 
rule,  let  us  mind  the  same  thing. 

17  Brethren,  be  followers  together  of 
me,  and  mark  them  which  walk  so  as  ye 
have  us  for  an  ensample.

told  you  often,  and  now  tell  you  even 
weeping,  that  they  are  the  enemies  of  the 
cross  of  Christ : 

19  Whose  end  is  destruction,  whose 
God  is  their  belly,  and  whose  glory  is 
in  their  shame,  who  mind  earthly  things.) 

20  For  our  conversation  is  in  heaven: 
from  whence  also  we  look  for  the  Saviour, 
the  Lord  Jesus  Christ: 

21  Who  shall  change  our  vile  body,  that 
it  may  be  fashioned  like  unto  his  glorious 
body,  according  to  the  working  whereby 
he  is  able  even  to  subdue  all  things  unto 
himself.

knowledge  of  Christ  Jesus  my  Lord : 
for  whom  I  suffered  the  loss  of  all 
things,  and  do  count  them  but  dung,

which  is  of  the  law,  but  that  which 
is  through  faith  in  Christ,  the  right- 
eousness which  is  of  God  by  faith : 
10  that  I  may  know  him,  and  the 
power  of  his  resurrection,  and  the 
fellowship  of  his  sufferings,  becom- 
ing conformed  unto  his  death;  11  if 
by  any  means  I  may  attain  unto  the 
resurrection  from  the  dead.  12  Not

am  already  made  perfect:  but  I 
press  on,  if  so  be  that  I  may  ap- 
prehend that  for  which  also  I  was 
apprehended  by  Christ  Jesus.  13 
Brethren,  I  count  not  myself  yet  to 
have  apprehended:  but  one  thing  / 
do,  forgetting  the  things  which  are 
behind,  and  stretching  forward  to 
the  things  which  are  before,  14  I 
press  on  toward  the  goal  unto  the 
prize  of  the  high  calling  of  God 
in  Christ  Jesus.  15  Let  us  there- 
fore, as  many  as  be  perfect,  be  thus 
minded :  and  if  in  anything  ye  are 
otherwise  minded,  even  this  shall 
God  reveal  unto  you :  16  only, 
whereunto  we  have  already  attained, 
by  that  same  rule  let  us  walk. 

17  Brethren,  be  ye  imitators  to- 
gether of  me,  and  mark  them  which 
so  walk  even  as  ye  have  us  for  an 
ensample.  18  For  many  walk,  of 
whom  I  told  you  often,  and  now 
tell  you  even  weeping,  that  they  are 
the  enemies  of  the  cross  of  Christ : 
19  whose  end  is  perdition,  whose 
god  is  the  belly,  and  whose  glory 
is  in  their  shame,  who  mind  earthly 
things.  20  For  our  citizenship  is 
in  heaven ;  from  whence  also  we 
wait  for  a  Saviour,  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ :  21  who  shall  fashion  anew 
the  body  of  our  humiliation,  that  it 
may  be  conformed  to  the  body  of 
his  glory,  according  to  the  working 
whereby  he  is  able  even  to  subject

I  press  on  toward  the  goal  unto 
the  prize  of  the  high  calling  of 
God  in  Christ  Jesus.  15  Let  us 
therefore,  as  many  as  are  perfect, 
be  thus  minded:  and  if  in  anything 
ye  are  otherwise  minded,  this  also 
shall  God  reveal  unto  you :  16  only, 
whereunto  we  have  attained,  by  that 
same  rule  let  us  walk. 

17  Brethren,  be  ye  imitators  to- 
gether of  me,  and  mark  them  that 
so  walk  even  as  ye  have  us  for  an 
ensample.  18  For  many  walk,  of 
whom  I  told  you  often,  and  now 
tell  you  even  weeping,  that  they  are 
the  enemies  of  the  cross  of  Christ: 
19  whose  end  is  perdition,  whose 
god  is  the  belly,  and  whose  glory 
is  in  their  shame,  who  mind  earthly 
things.  20  For  our  citizenship  is 
in  heaven ;  whence  also  we  wait 
for  a  Saviour,  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ :  21  who  shall  fashion  anew 
the  body  of  our  humiliation,  that 
it  may  he  conformed  to  the  body 
of  his  glory,  according  to  the  work- 
ing whereby  he  is  able  even  to  sub- 
ject all  things  unto  himself, 


but  loss  for  the  excellent  knowledge  of 
Jesus  Christ  my  Lord;  for  whom  I  have 
suffered  the  loss  of  all  things,  and  count 
them  but  as  dung,  that  I  may  gain  Christ : 

9  And  may  be  found  in  him,  not  having 
my  justice,  which  is  of  the  law,  but  that 
which  is  of  the  faith  of  Christ  Jesus, 
which  is  of  God,  justice  in  faith: 

ID  That  I  may  know  him,  and  the  power 
of  his  resurrection,  and  the  fellowship  of 
his  sufferings,  being  made  conformable  to 
his  death, 

11  If  by  any  means  I  may  attain  to  the 
resurrection  which  is  from  the  dead. 

12  Not  as  though  I  had  already  attained, 
or  were  already  perfect;  but  I  follow 
after,  if  I  may  by  any  means  apprehend, 
wherein  I  am  also  apprehended  by  Christ 
Jesus. 

13  Brethren,  I  do  not  count  myself  to 
have  apprehended.  But  one  thing  /  do: 
forgetting  the  things  that  are  behind,  and 
stretching  forth  myself  to  those  that  are 
before, 

14  I  press  towards  the  mark,  to  the 
prize  of  the  supernal  vocation  of  God  in 
Christ  Jesus. 

15  Let  us  therefore,  as  many  as  are 
perfect,  be  thus  minded;  and  if  in  any 
thing  you  be  otherwise  minded,  this  also 
God  will  reveal  to  you. 

i6  Nevertheless  whereunto  we  are 
come,  that  we  be  of  the  same  mind,  let 
us  also  continue  in  the  same  rule. 

17  Be  ye  followers  of  me,  brethren,  and 
observe  them  who  walk  so  as  you  have 
our  model. 

18  For  many  walk,  of  whom  I  have 
told  you  often  (and  now  tell  you  weep- 
ing), that  they  are  enemies  of  the  cross 
of  Christ; 

19  Whose  end  is  destruction;  whose 
God  is  their  belly;  and  whose  glory  is  in 
their  shame;  who  mind  earthly  things. 

20  But  our  conversation  is  in  heaven ; 
from  whence  also  we  look  for  the  Sav- 
iour, our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 

21  Who  will  reform  the  body  of  our 
lowness,  made  like  to  the  body  of  his 
glory,  according  to  the  operation  whereby 
also  he  is  able  to  subdue  all  things  unto 
himself.

THEREFORE,  my  brethren  dearly  be-

dearly  beloved. 

2  I  beseech  Euodias,  and  beseech

3  And  I  intreat  thee  also,  true  yoke-

names  are  in  the  book  of  life. 

4  Rejoice  in  the  Lord  alway:  and  again 
I  say,  Rejoice. 

5  Let  your  moderation  be  known  unto 
all  men.     The  Lord  is  at  hand. 

6  Be  careful  for  nothing ;  but  in  every 
thing  by  prayer  and  supplication  with 
thanksgiving  let  your  requests  be  made 
known  unto  God. 

7  And  the  peace  of  God,  which  passeth 
all  understanding,  shall  keep  your  hearts 
and  minds  through  Christ  Jesus. 

8  Finally,  brethren,  whatsoever  things 
are  true,  whatsoever  things  arc  honest, 
whatsoever  things  are  just,  whatsoever 
things  are  pure,  whatsoever  things  are 
lovely,  whatsoever  things  are  of  good  re-

be  any  praise,  think  on  these  things. 

9  Those  things,  which  ye  have  both 
learned,  and  received,  and  heard,  and 
seen  in  me,  do :  and  the  God  of  peace 
shall  be  with  you. 

10  But  I  rejoiced  in  the  Lord  greatly, 
that  now  at  the  last  your  care  of  me  hath 
flourished  again ;  wherein  ye  were  also 
careful,  but  ye  lacked  opportunity. 

11  Not  that  I  speak  in  respect  of  want: 
for  I  have  learned,  in  whatsoever  state 
I  am,  therezvith  to  be  content. 

12  I  know  both  how  to  be  abased,  and 
I  know  how  to  abound :  everywhere  and 
in  all  things  I  am  instructed  both  to  be 
full  and  to  be  hungry,  both  to  abound  and 
to  suffer  need. 

13  I  can  do  all  things  through  Christ 
which  strengtheneth  me. 

14  Notwithstanding  ye  have  well  done, 
that  ye  did  communicate  with  my  af- 
fliction. 

15  Now  ye  Philippians  know  also,  that 
in  the  beginning  of  the  gospel,  when  I 
departed  from  Macedonia,  no  church  com- 
municated with  me  as  concerning  giving 
and  receiving,  but  ye  only.

Christ  Jesus,  who  are  at  Colossa. 

3  Grace  be  to  you  and  peace  from  God 
our  Father,  and  from  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ.  We  give  thanks  to  God,  and  the 
Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  praying 
always  for  you. 

4  Hearing  your  faith  in  Christ  Jesus, 
and  the  love  which  you  have  towards  all 
the  saints. 

5  For  the  hope  that  is  laid  up  for  you 
in  heaven,  which  you  have  heard  in  the 
word  of  the  truth  of  the  gospel, 

6  Which  is  come  unto  you,  as  also  it  is 
in  the  whole  world,  and  bringeth  forth 
fruit  and  groweth,  even  as  it  doth  in  you, 
since  the  day  you  heard  and  knew  the 
grace  of  God  in  truth.

beloved  fellow  servant,  who  is  for  you  a 
faithful  minister  of  Christ  Jesus;

12  Giving  thanks  unto  the  Father,  which 
hath  made  us  meet  to  be  partakers  of  the 
inheritance  of  the  saints  in  light: 

13  Who  hath  delivered  us  from  the 
power  of  darkness,  and  hath  translated 
us  into  the  kingdom  of  his  dear  Son : 

14  In  whom  we  have  redemption 
through  his  blood,  even  the  forgiveness 
of  sins: 

15  Who  is  the  image  of  the  invisible 
God,  the  firstborn  of  every  creature : 

16  For  by  him  were  all  things  created, 
that  are  in  heaven,  and  that  are  in  earth, 
visible  and  invisible,  whether  they  be 
thrones,  or  dominions,  or  principalities,  or 
powers:  all  things  were  created  by  him, 
and  for  him : 

17  And  he  is  before  all  things,  and  by 
him  all  things  consist. 

18  And  he  is  the  head  of  the  body,  the 
church:  who  is  the  beginning,  the  first- 
born from  the  dead ;  that  in  all  things  he 
might  have  the  preeminence. 

19  For  it  pleased  the  Father  that  in 
him  should  all  fulness  dwell ; 

20  And,  having  made  peace  through 
the  blood  of  his  cross,  by  him  to  recon- 
cile all  things  unto  himself;  by  him,  / 
say,  whether  they  be  things  in  earth,  or 
things  in  heaven. 

21  And  you,  that  were  sometime  alien- 
ated and  enemies  in  your  mind  by  wicked 
works,  yet  now  hath  he  reconciled 

22  In  the  body  of  his  flesh  through 
death,  to  present  you  holy  and  unblame- 
able  and  unreproveable  in  his  sight : 

23  If  ye  continue  in  the  faith  grounded 
and  settled,  and  be  not  moved  away  from 
the  hope  of  the  gospel,  which  ye  have 
heard,  and  which  was  preached  to  every

for  you,  and  fill  up  that  which  is  behind 
of  the  afflictions  of  Christ  in  my  flesh  for 
his  body's  sake,  which  is  the  church:

IF  ye  then  be  risen  with   Christ,  seek 
those  things  which  are  above,  where 
Christ  sitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God. 

2  Set  your  affection  on  things  above,

3  For  ye  are  dead,  and  your  life  is  hid 
with  Christ  in  God. 

4  When  Christ,  who  is  our  life,  shall 
appear,  then  shall  ye  also  appear  with 
him  in  glory. 

5  Mortify  therefore  your  members 
which  are  upon  the  earth;  fornication, 
uncleanness,  inordinate  affection,  evil 
concupiscence,  and  covetousness,  which  is 
idolatry :

of  God  Cometh  on  the  children  of  dis- 
obedience : 

7  In  the  which  ye  also  walked  some 
time,  when  ye  lived  in  them. 

8  But  now  ye  also  put  off  all  these; 
anger,  wrath,  malice,  blasphemy,  filthy 
communication  out  of  your  mouth. 

9  Lie  not  one  to  another,  seeing  that 
ye  have  put  off  the  old  man  with  his 
deeds ; 

10  And  have  put  on  the  new  man,  which

who  is  our  life,  shall  be  mani- 
fested, then  shall  ye  also  with  him 
be  manifested  in  glory. 

5  Mortify  therefore  your  mem- 
bers which  are  upon  the  earth; 
fornication,  uncleanness,  passion, 
evil  desire,  and  covetousness,  the 
which  is  idolatry;  6  for  which

ings, 10  and  have  put  on  the  new

cannot  be  Greek  and  Jew,  circum- 
cision and  uncircumcision,  barba- 
rian, Scythian,  bondman,  freeman : 
but  Christ  is  all,  and  in  all. 

12  Put  on  therefore,  as  God's 
elect,  holy  and  beloved,  a  heart 
of  compassion,  kindness,  humility, 
meekness,  longsuffering;  13  for-

CHAPTER  2. 

FOR    yourselves,    brethren,    know    our 
entrance  in  unto  you,  that  it  was  not 
in  vain : 

2  But  even  after  that  we  had  suffered 
before,  and  were  shamefully  entreated, 
as  ye  know,  at  Philippi,  we  were  bold 
in  our  God  to  speak  unto  you  the  gospel 
of  God  with  much  contention. 

3  For  our  exhortation  was  not  of  de- 
ceit, nor  of  uncleanness,  nor  in  guile: 

4  But  as  we  were  allowed  of  God  to  be 
put  in  trust  with  the  gospel,  even  so  we 
speak;  not  as  pleasing  men,  but  God, 
which  trieth  our  hearts. 

5  For  neither  at  any  time  used  we 
flattering  words,  as  ye  know,  nor  a  cloke 
of  covetousness  :  God  is  witness  : 

6  Nor  of  men  sought  we  glory,  neither 
of  you,  nor  yet  of  others,  when  we  might 
have  been  burdensome,  as  the  apostles  of 
Christ. 

7  But  we  were  gentle  among  you,  even 
as  a  nurse  cherisheth  her  children : 

8  So  being  affectionately  desirous  of 
you,  we  were  willing  to  have  imparted 
unto  you,  not  the  gospel  of  God  only, 
but  also  our  own  souls,  because  ye  were 
dear  unto  us. 

9  For  ye  remember,  brethren,  our  la- 
bour and  travail :  for  labouring  night  and 
day,  because  we  would  not  be  chargeable 


Tj^OR  yourselves,  brethren,  know 
^L:  our  entering  in  unto  you,  that 
it  hath  not  been  found  vain :  2  but 
having  suffered  before,  and  been 
shamefully  entreated,  as  ye  know,  at 
Philippi,  we  waxed  bold  in  our  God 
to  speak  unto  you  the  gospel  of  God 
in  much  conflict.  3  For  our  ex- 
hortation is  not  of  error,  nor  of 
uncleanness,  nor  in  guile  :  4  but  even 
as  we  have  been  approved  of  God  to 
be  intrusted  with  the  gospel,  so  we 
speak;  not  as  pleasing  men,  but 
God  which  proveth  our  hearts.  5 
For  neither  at  any  time  were  we 
found  using  words  of  flattery,  as  ye 
know,  nor  a  cloke  of  covetousness, 
God  is  witness ;  6  nor  seeking  glory 
of  men,  neither  from  you,  nor  from 
others,  when  we  might  have  been 
burdensome,  as  apostles  of  Christ. 
7  But  we  were  gentle  in  the  midst 
of  you,  as  when  a  nurse  cherisheth 
her  own  children :  8  even  so,  being 
affectionately  desirous  of  you,  we 
were  well  pleased  to  impart  unto 
you,  not  the  gospel  of  God  only, 
but  also  our  own  souls,  because  ye 
were  become  very  dear  to  us.  9  For 
ye  remember,  brethren,  our  labour 
and  travail :  working  night  and 
day,  that  we  might  not  burden  any

and  of  the  Lord,  having  received 
the  word  in  much  affliction,  with 
joy  of  the  Holy  Spirit;  7  so  that 
ye  became  an  ensample  to  all  that 
believe  in  Macedonia  and  in 
Achaia.  8  For  from  you  hath 
sounded  forth  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  not  only  in  Macedonia  and 
Achaia,  but  in  every  place  your 
faith  to  God-ward  is  gone  forth; 
so  that  we  need  not  to  speak  any- 
thing. 9  For  they  themselves  re- 
port concerning  us  what  manner  of 
entering  in  we  had  unto  you ;  and 
how  ye  turned  unto  God  from 
idols,  to  serve  a  living  and  true 
God,  10  and  to  wait  for  his  Son 
from  heaven,  whom  he  raised 
from  the  dead,  even  Jesus,  who 
delivereth  us  from  the  wrath  to 
come. 


T70R  yourselves,  brethren,  know 
21^  our  entering  in  unto  you,  that 
it  hath  not  been  found  vain: 
2  but  having  suffered  before  and 
been  shamefully  treated,  as  ye 
know,  at  Philippi,  we  waxed  bold 
in  our  God  to  speak  unto  you 
the  gospel  of  God  in  much  con- 
flict. 3  For  our  exhortation  is  not 
of  error,  nor  of  uncleanness,  nor 
in  guile:  4  but  even  as  we  have 
been  approved  of  God  to  be  in- 
trusted with  the  gospel,  so  we 
speak;  not  as  pleasing  men,  but 
God  who  proveth  our  hearts.  5 
For  neither  at  any  time  were  we 
found  using  words  of  flattery,  as 
ye  know,  nor  a  cloak  of  covetous- 
ness,  God  is  witness ;  6  nor  seek- 
ing glory  of  men,  neither  from  you 
nor  from  others,  when  we  might 
have  claimed  authority  as  apostles 
of  Christ.  7  But  we  were  gentle 
in  the  midst  of  you,  as  when  a 
nurse  cherisheth  her  own  children : 
8  even  so,  being  affectionately  de- 
sirous of  you,  we  were  well  pleased 
to  impart  unto  you,  not  the  gos- 
pel of  God  only,  but  also  our 
own  souls,  because  ye  were  become 
very  dear  to  us.  9  For  ye  re- 
member,   brethren,    our   labor    and 


you  in  word  only,  but  in  power  also,  and 
in  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  in  much  fulness, 
as  you  know  what  manner  of  men  we 
have  been  among  you  for  your  sakes. 

6  And  you  became  followers  of  us,  and 
of  the  Lord ;  receiving  the  word  in  much 
tribulation,  with  joy  of  the  Holy  Ghost: 

7  So  that  you  were  made  a  pattern  to 
all  that  believe  in  Macedonia  and  in 
Achaia. 

8  For  from  you  was  spread  abroad  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  not  only  in  Mace- 
donia, and  in  Achaia,  but  also  in  every 
place,  your  faith  which  is  towards  God, 
is  gone  forth,  so  that  we  need  not  to 
speak  any  thing. 

9  For  they  themselves  relate  of  us, 
what  manner  of  entering  in  we  had  unto 
you ;  and  how  you  turned  to  God  from 
idols,  to  serve  the  living  and  true  God. 

10  And  to  wait  for  his  Son  from  heaven 
(whom  he  raised  up  from  the  dead,)  Je- 
sus, who  hath  delivered  us  from  the 
wrath  to  come. 

CHAPTER  2. 

FOR   yourselves    know,    brethren,    our 
entrance    in    unto    you,    that    it    was 
not  in  vain : 

2  But  having  suffered  many  things  be- 
fore, and  been  shamefully  treated  (as 
you  know)  at  Philippi,  we  had  confi- 
dence in  our  God,  to  speak  unto  you  the 
gospel  of  God  in  much  carefulness. 

3  For  our  exhortation  was  not  of  error, 
nor  of  uncleanness,  nor  in  deceit : 

4  But  as  we  were  approved  by  God  that 
the  gospel  should  be  committed  to  us : 
even  so  we  speak,  not  as  pleasing  men, 
but  God,  who  proveth  our  hearts. 

5  For  neither  have  we  used,  at  any 
time,  the  speech  of  flattery,  as  you  know ; 
nor  taken  an  occasion  of  covetousness, 
God  is  witness : 

6  Nor  sought  we  glory  of  men,  neither 
of  you,  nor  of  others. 

7  Whereas  we  might  have  been  burden- 
some to  you,  as  the  apostles  of  Christ: 
but  we  became  little  ones  in  the  midst 
of  you,  as  if  a  nurse  should  cherish  her 
children : 

8  So  desirous  of  you,  we  would  gladly 
impart  unto  you  not  only  the  gospel  of 
God,  but  also  our  own  souls :  because 
you  were  become  most  dear  unto  us. 

9  For  you  remember,  brethren,  our  la- 
bour and  toil :  working  night  and  day, 
lest  we  should  be  chargeable  to  any  of

REVISED 


unto  any  of  you,  we  preached  unto  you 
the  gospel  of  God. 

10  Ye  are  witnesses,  and  God  also, 
how  holily  and  justly  and  unblameably 
we  behaved  ourselves  among  you  that 
believe : 

11  As  ye  know  how  we  exhorted  and 
comforted  and  charged  every  one  of  you, 
as  a  father  doth  his  children, 

12  That  ye  would  walk  worthy  of  God, 
who  hath  called  you  unto  his  kingdom 
and  glory. 

13  For  this  cause  also  thank  we  God 
without  ceasing,  because,  when  ye  re- 
ceived the  word  of  God  which  ye  heard 
of  us,  ye  received  it  not  as  the  word  of 
men,  but  as  it  is  in  truth,  the  Word  of 
God,  which  effectually  worketh  also  in 
you  that  believe. 

14  For  ye,  brethren,  became  followers 
of  the  churches  of  God  which  in  Judaea 
are  in  Christ  Jesus :  for  ye  also  have 
suffered  like  things  of  your  own  country- 
men, even  as  they  have  of  the  Jews : 

15  Who  both  killed  the  Lord  Jesus, 
and  their  own  prophets,  and  have  per- 
secuted us ;  and  they  please  not  God, 
and  are  contrary  to  all  men : 

16  Forbidding  us  to  speak  to  the  Gen- 
tiles that  they  might  be  saved,  to  fill  up 
their  sins  alway :  for  the  wrath  is  come 
upon  them  to  the  uttermost. 

17  But  we,  brethren,  being  taken  from 
you  for  a  short  time  in  presence,  not 
in  heart,  endeavoured  the  more  abun- 
dantly to  see  your  face  with  great  desire. 

18  Wherefore  we  would  have  come 
unto  you,  even  I  Paul,  once  and  again; 
but  Satan  hindered  us. 

19  For  what  is  our  hope,  or  joy,  or 
crown  of  rejoicing?  Are  not  even  ye  in 
the  presence  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ 
at  his  coming? 

20  For  ye  are  our  glory  and  joy. 


of  you,  we  preached  unto  you  the 
gospel  of  God.  10  Ye  are  witnesses, 
and  God  also,  how  holily  and 
righteously  and  unblameably  we 
behaved  ourselves  toward  you  that 
believe:  11  as  ye  know  how  we 
dealt  with  each  one  of  you,  as  a 
father  with  his  own  children,  ex- 
horting you,  and  encouraging  you, 
and  testifying,  12  to  the  end  that  ye 
should  walk  worthily  of  God,  who 
calleth  you  into  his  own  kingdom 
and  glory. 

13  And  for  this  cause  we  also 
thank  God  without  ceasing,  that, 
when  ye  received  from  us  the  word 
of  the  message,  even  the  word  of 
God,  ye  accepted  it  not  as  the 
word  of  men,  but,  as  it  is  in  truth, 
the  word  of  God,  which  also  work- 
eth in  you  that  believe.  14  For  ye, 
brethren,  became  imitators  of  the 
churches  of  God  which  are  in  Judaea 
in  Christ  Jesus :  for  ye  also  suffered 
the  same  things  of  your  own  coun- 
trymen, even  as  they  did  of  the 
Jews;  15  who  both  killed  the  Lord 
Jesus  and  the  prophets,  and  drave 
out  us,  and  please  not  God,  and 
are  contrary  to  all  men;  16  for- 
bidding us  to  speak  to  the  Gentiles 
that  they  may  be  saved;  to  fill  up 
their  sins  alway :  but  the  wrath  is 
come  upon  them  to  the  uttermost. 

17  But  we,  brethren,  being  be- 
reaved of  you  for  a  short  season, 
in  presence,  not  in  heart,  endeav- 
oured the  more  exceedingly  to  see 
your  face  with  great  desire :  18  be- 
cause we  would  fain  have  come 
unto  you,  I  Paul  once  and  again ; 
and  Satan  hindered  us.  19  For  what 
is  our  hope,  or  joy,  or  crown  of 
glorying?  Are  not  even  ye,  before 
our  Lord  Jesus  at  his  coming?  20 
For  ye  are  our  glory  and  our  joy.

to  be  left  at  Athens  alone ; 

2  And  sent  Timotheus,  our  brother,

travail :  working  night  and  day, 
that  we  might  not  burden  any  of 
you,  we  preached  unto  you  the 
gospel  of  God.  ID  Ye  are  wit- 
nesses, and  God  also,  how  holily 
and  righteously  and  unblamably 
we  behaved  ourselves  toward  you 
that  believe:  11  as  ye  know  how 
we  dealt  mith  each  one  of  you,  as  a 
father  with  his  own  children,  ex- 
horting you,  and  encouraging  you, 
and  testifying,  12  to  the  end  that 
ye  should  walk  worthily  of  God, 
who  calleth  you  into  his  own 
kingdom  and  glory. 

13  And  for  this  cause  we  also 
thank  God  without  ceasing,  that, 
when  ye  received  from  us  the 
word  of  the  message,  even  the  word 
of  God,  ye  accepted  it  not  as  the 
word  of  men,  but,  as  it  is  in  truth, 
the  word  of  God,  which  also  work- 
eth  in  you  that  believe.  14  For 
ye,  brethren,  became  imitators  of 
the  churches  of  God  which  are  in 
Judaea  in  Christ  Jesus :  for  ye  also 
suffered  the  same  things  of  your 
own  countrymen,  even  as  they 
did  of  the  Jews;  15  who  both 
killed  the  Lord  Jesus  and  the 
prophets,  and  drove  out  us,  and 
please  not  God,  and  are  contrary 
to  all  men;  16  forbidding  us  to 
speak  to  the  Gentiles  that  they 
may  be  saved;  to  fill  up  their  sins 
always :  but  the  wrath  is  come  upon 
them  to  the  uttermost. 

17  But  we,  brethren,  being  be- 
reaved of  you  for  a  short  season, 
in  presence  not  in  heart,  endeav- 
ored the  more  exceedingly  to  see 
your  face  with  great  desire :  18  be- 
cause we  would  fain  have  come 
unto  you,  I  Paul  once  and  again ; 
and  Satan  hindered  us.  19  For 
what  is  our  hope,  or  joy,  or  crown 
of  glorying?  Are  not  even  ye,  be- 
fore our  Lord  Jesus  at  his  com- 
ing? 20  For  ye  are  our  glory  and 
our  joy. 

TTTHEREFORE  when  we  could 
3  ▼  ▼  no  longer  forbear,  we 
thought  it  good  to  be  left  behind 
at  Athens  alone;  2  and  sent  Tim- 
othy, our  brother  and  God's  min- 
ister in  the  gospel  of  Christ,  to 
establish  you,  and  to  comfort  you 
concerning  your    faith;   3   that   no 


you,  we  preached  among  you  the  gospel 
of  God. 

10  You  are  witnesses,  and  God  also, 
how  holily,  and  justly,  and  without  blame, 
we  have  been  to  you  that  have  believed : 

11  As  you  know  in  what  manner,  en- 
treating and  comforting  you,  (as  a  father 
doth  his  children,) 

12  We  testified  to  every  one  of  you, 
that  you  would  walk  worthy  of  God, 
who  hath  called  you  unto  his  kingdom 
and  glory. 

13  Therefore,  we  also  give  thanks  to 
God  without  ceasing:  because,  that  when 
you  had  received  of  us  the  word  of  the 
hearing  of  God,  you  received  it  not  as 
the  word  of  men,  but  (as  it  is  indeed) 
the  word  of  God,  who  worketh  in  you 
that  have  believed. 

14  For  you,  brethren,  are  become  fol- 
lowers of  the  churches  of  God  which  are 
in  Judea,  in  Christ  Jesus:  for  you  also 
have  suffered  the  same  things  from  your 
own  countrymen,  even  as  they  have 
from  the  Jews, 

15  Who  both  killed  the  Lord  Jesus,  and 
the  prophets,  and  have  persecuted  us, 
and  please  not  God,  and  are  adversaries 
to  all  men ; 

16  Prohibiting  us  to  speak  to  the  Gen- 
tiles, that  they  may  be  saved,  to  fill  up 
their  sins  always:  for  the  wrath  of  God 
is  come  upon  them  to  the  end. 

17  But  we,  brethren,  being  taken  away 
from  you  for  a  short  time,  in  sight,  not 
in  heart,  have  hastened  the  more  abun- 
dantly to  see  your  face  with  great  desire. 

18  For  we  would  have  come  unto  you, 
I  Paul  indeed,  once  and  again:  but  Satan 
hath  hindered  us. 

19  For  what  is  our  hope,  or  joy,  or 
crown  of  glory?  Are  not  you,  in  the 
presence  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  at  his 
coming? 

20  For  you  are  our  glory  and  joy. 


CHAPTER  3. 

FOR  which  cause,  forbearing  no  longer, 
we    thought    it    good    to    remain    at 
Athens  alone : 

2  And  we  sent  Timothy,  our  brother, 
and  the  minister  of  God  in  the  gospel  of 
Christ,  to  confirm  you  and  exhort  you 
concerning  your  faith : 

3  That   no   man   should   be   moved  in 


366     AUTHORIZED         I.  THESSALONIANS,  4.  REVISED 


3  That  no  man  should  be  moved  by 
these  afflictions:  for  yourselves  know 
that  we  are  appointed  thereunto. 

4  For  verily,  when  we  were  with  you, 
we  told  you  before  that  we  should  suffer 
tribulation ;  even  as  it  came  to  pass,  and 
ye  know. 

5  For  this  cause,  when  I  could  no 
longer  forbear,  I  sent  to  know  your 
faith,  lest  by  some  means  the  tempter 
have  tempted  you,  and  our  labour  be  in 
vain. 

6  But  now  when  Timotheus  camer  from 
you  unto  us,  and  brought  us  good  tidings 
of  your  faith  and  charity,  and  that  ye 
have  good  remembrance  of  us  always,  de- 
siring greatly  to  see  us,  as  we  also  to  see 
you: 

7  Therefore,  brethren,  we  were  com- 
forted over  you  in  all  our  affliction  and 
distress  by  your  faith : 

8  For  now  we  live,  if  ye  stand  fast 
in  the  Lord. 

9  For  what  thanks  can  we  render  to  God 
again  for  you,  for  all  the  joy  wherewith 
we  joy  for  your  sakes  before  our  God; 

10  Night  and  day  praying  exceedingly 
that  we  might  see  your  face,  and  might 
perfect  that  which  is  lacking  in  your 
faith? 

11  Now  God  himself  and  our  Father, 
and  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  direct  our 
way  unto  you. 

12  And  the  Lord  make  you  to  increase 
and  abound  in  love  one  toward  another, 
and  toward  all  men,  even  as  we  do 
toward  you : 

13  To  the  end  he  may  stablish  your 
hearts  unblarneable  in  holiness  before 
God,  even  our  Father,  at  the  coming  of 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  with  all  his 
saints. 


man  be  moved  by  these  afflictions ; 
for  yourselves  know  that  hereunto 
we  are  appointed.  4  For  verily, 
when  we  were  with  you,  we  told 
you  beforehand  that  we  are  to  suf- 
fer affliction;  even  as  it  came  to 
pass,  and  ye  know.  5  For  this 
cause  I  also,  when  I  could  no  longer 
forbear,  sent  that  I  might  know 
your  faith,  lest  by  any  means  the 
tempter  had  tempted  you,  and  our 
labour  should  be  in  vain.  6  But 
when  Timothy  came  even  now  unto 
us  from  you,  and  brought  us  glad 
tidings  of  your  faith  and  love,  and 
that  ye  have  good  remembrance  of 
us  always,  longing  to  see  us,  even  as 
we  also  to  see  you ;  7  for  this  cause, 
brethren,  we  were  comforted  over 
you  in  all  our  distress  and  afflic- 
tion through  your  faith :  8  for  now 
we  live,  if  ye  stand  fast  in  the 
Lord.  9  For  what  thanksgiving 
can  we  render  again  unto  God  for 
you,  for  all  the  joy  wherewith  we 
joy  for  your  sakes  before  our  God; 
10  night  and  day  praying  exceed- 
ingly that  we  may  see  your  face, 
and  may  perfect  that  which  is  lack- 
ing in  your  faith  ? 

II  Now  may  our  God  and  Father 
himself,  and  our  Lord  Jesus,  direct 
our  way  unto  you :  12  and  the  Lord 
make  you  to  increase  and  abound 
in  love  one  toward  another,  and 
toward  all  men,  even  as  we  also 
do  toward  you;  13  to  the  end  he 
may  stablish  your  hearts  unblarne- 
able in  holiness  before  our  God  and 
Father,  at  the  coming  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  with  all  his  saints. 


CHAPTER  4. 

FURTHERMORE  then  we  beseech 
you,  brethren,  and  exhort  you  by  the 
Lord  Jesus,  that  as  ye  have  received 
of  us  how  ye  ought  to  walk  and  to  please 
God,  so  ye  would  abound  more  and 
more. 

2  For  ye  know  what  commandments 
we  gave  you  by  the  Lord  Jesus. 

3  For  this  is  the  will  of  God,  even 
your  sanctification,  that  ye  should  ab- 
stain  from   fornication : 

4  That  every  one  of  you  should  know 
how  to  possess  his  vessel  in  sanctification 
and  honour; 


Tj^INALLY  then,  brethren,  we 
4-r  beseech  and  exhort  you  in  the 
Lord  Jesus,  that,  as  ye  received 
of  us  how  ye  ought  to  walk  and 
to  please  God,  even  as  ye  do 
walk, — that  ye  abound  more  and 
more.  2  For  ye  know  what  charge 
we  gave  you  through  the  Lord 
Jesus.  3  For  this  is  the  will  of 
God,  even  your  sanctification,  that 
ye  abstain  from  fornication ;  4  that 
each  one  of  you  know  how  to  pos- 
sess himself  of  his  own  vessel  in 
sanctification  and  honour,  5  not  in

for  yourselves  know  that  hereunto 
we  are  appointed.  4  For  verily, 
when  we  were  with  you,  we  told 
you  beforehand  that  we  are  to  suf- 
fer affliction ;  even  as  it  came  to 
pass,  and  ye  know,  5  For  this  cause 
I  also,  when  I  could  no  longer  for- 
bear, sent  that  I  might  know  your 
faith,  lest  by  any  means  the 
tempter  had  tempted  you,  and 
our  labor  should  be  in  vain.  6 
But  when  Timothy  came  even  now 
unto  us  from  you,  and  brought 
us  glad  tidings  of  your  faith  and 
love,  and  that  ye  have  good  re- 
membrance of  us  always,  longing 
to  see  us,  even  as  we  also  to  see 
you ;  7  for  this  cause,  brethren,  we 
were  comforted  over  you  in  all  our 
distress  and  affliction  through  your 
faith :  8  for  now  we  live,  if  ye 
stand  fast  in  the  Lord.  9  For 
what  thanksgiving  can  we  render 
again  unto  God  for  you,  for  all  the 
joy  wherewith  we  joy  for  your 
sakes  before  our  God ;  10  night  and 
day  praying  exceedingly  that  we 
may  see  your  face,  and  may  per- 
fect that  which  is  lacking  in  your 
faith? 

II  Now  may  our  God  and  Father 
himself,  and  our  Lord  Jesus,  direct 
our  way  unto  you :  12  and  the  Lord 
make  you  to  increase  and  abound 
in  love  one  toward  another,  and 
toward  all  men,  even  as  we  also  do 
toward  you ;  13  to  the  end  he  may 
establish  your  hearts  unblamable 
in  holiness  before  our  God  and 
Father,  at  the  coming  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  with  all  his  saints. 


Tj^INALLY  then,  brethren,  we 
4-r  beseech  and  exhort  you  in  the 
Lord  Jesus,  that,  as  ye  received  of 
us  how  ye  ought  to  walk  and  to 
please  God,  even  as  ye  do  walk, — 
that    ye    abound    more    and    more. 

2  For  ye  know  what  charge  we 
gave  you  through  the  Lord  Jesus. 

3  For  this  is  the  will  of  God,  even 
your  sanctification,  that  ye  abstain 
from  fornication ;  4  that  each  one 
of  you  know  how  to  possess  him- 
self of  his  own  vessel  in  sanctifica- 
tion and  honor,  5  not  in  the  pas- 


these  tribulations:    for  yourselves  know, 
that  we  are  appointed  thereunto. 

4  For  even  when  we  were  with  you,  we 
foretold  you  that  we  should  suffer  tribu- 
lations, as  also  it  is  come  to  pass,  and 
you  know. 

5  For  this  cause  also,  I,  forbearing  no 
longer,  sent  to  know  your  faith:  lest 
perhaps  he  that  tempteth  should  have 
tempted  you,  and  our  labour  should  be 
made  vain. 

6  But  now  when  Timothy  came  to  us 
from  you,  and  related  to  us  your  faith 
and  charity,  and  that  you  have  a  good 
remembrance  of  us  always,  desiring  to 
see  us  as  we  also  to  see  you ; 

7  Therefore  we  were  comforted,  breth- 
ren, in  you,  in  all  our  necessity  and 
tribulation,  by  your  faith, 

8  Because  now  we  live,  if  you  stand  in 
the  Lord. 

9  For  what  thanks  can  we  return  to 
God  for  you,  in  all  the  joy  wherewith  we 
rejoice  for  you  before  our  God, 

10  Night  and  day  more  abundantly  pray- 
ing that  we  may  see  your  face,  and  may 
accomplish  those  things  that  are  wanting 
to  your  faith? 

11  Now  God  himself  and  our  Father, 
and  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  direct  our 
way  unto  you. 

12  And  may  the  Lord  multiply  you,  and 
make  you  abound  in  charity  towards  one 
another,  and  towards  all  men:  as  we  do 
also  towards  you, 

13  To  confirm  your  hearts  without 
blame,  in  holiness,  before  God  and  our 
Father,  at  the  coming  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  with  all  his  saints.    Amen. 


CHAPTER  4. 

FOR  the  rest  therefore,  brethren,  we 
pray  and  beseech  you  in  the  Lord 
Jesus,  that  as  you  have  received  from 
us,  how  you  ought  to  walk,  and  to  please 
God,  so  also  you  would  walk,  that  you 
may  abound  the  more. 

2  For  you  know  what  precepts  I  have 
given  to  you  by  the  Lord  Jesus. 

3  For  this  is  the  will  of  God,  your 
sanctification ;  that  you  should  abstain 
from  fornication ; 

4  That  every  one  of  you  should  know 
how  to  possess  his  vessel  in  sanctification 
and  honour: 


368     AUTHORIZED         I.  THESSALONIANS,  5.  REVISED 


5  Not  in  the  lust  of  concupiscence, 
even  as  the  Gentiles  which  know  not 
God: 

6  That  no  man  go  beyond  and  defraud 
his  brother  in  any  matter:  because  that 
the  Lord  is  the  avenger  of  all  such, 
as  we  also  have  forewarned  you  and 
testified. 

7  For  God  hath  not  called  us  unto  un- 
cleanness,  but  unto  holiness. 

8  He  therefore  that  despiseth,  despis- 
eth  not  man,  but  God,  who  hath  also 
given  unto  us  his  holy  Spirit. 

9  But  as  touching  brotherly  love  ye 
need  not  that  I  write  unto  you:  for  ye 
yourselves  are  taught  of  God  to  love  one 
another. 

10  And  indeed  ye  do  it  toward  all  the 
brethren  which  are  in  all  Macedonia:  but 
we  beseech  you,  brethren,  that  ye  in- 
crease more  and  more; 

11  And  that  ye  study  to  be  quiet, 
and  to  do  your  own  business,  and  to  work 
with  your  own  hands,  as  we  commanded 
you; 

12  That  ye  may  walk  honestly  toward 
them  that  are  without,  and  that  ye  may 
have  lack  of  nothing. 

13  But  I  would  not  have  you  to  be 
ignorant,  brethren,  concerning  them  which 
are  asleep,  that  ye  sorrow  not,  even  as 
others  which  have  no  hope. 

14  For  if  we  believe  that  Jesus  died 
and  rose  again,  even  so  them  also  which 
sleep  in  Jesus  will  God  bring  with  him. 

15  For  this  we  say  unto  you  by  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  that  we  which  are 
alive  and  remain  unto  the  coming  of  the 
Lord  shall  not  prevent  them  which  are 
asleep. 

16  For  the  Lord  himself  shall  descend 
from  heaven  with  a  shout,  with  the  voice 
of  the  archangel,  and  with  the  trump  of 
God:  and  the  dead  in  Christ  shall  rise 
first : 

17  Then  we  which  are  alive  and  re- 
main shall  be  caught  up  together  with 
them  in  the  clouds,  to  meet  the  Lord 
in  the  air :  and  so  shall  we  ever  be  with 
the  Lord. 

18  Wherefore  comfort  one  another  with 
these  words. 

CHAPTER  5. 

BUT   of   the   times    and   the    seasons, 
brethren,    ye    have    no    need    that    I 
write  unto  you. 
2  For  yourselves  know  perfectly  that 


the  passion  of  lust,  even  as  the 
Gentiles  which  know  not  God ; 
6  that  no  man  transgress,  and 
wrong  his  brother  in  the  matter : 
because  the  Lord  is  an  avenger  in 
all  these  things,  as  also  we  fore- 
warned you  and  testified.  7  For 
God  called  us  not  for  uncleanness, 
but  in  sanctification.  8  Therefore 
he  that  rejecteth,  rejecteth  not  man, 
but  God,  who  giveth  his  Holy  Spirit 
unto  you. 

9  But  concerning  love  of  the 
brethren  ye  have  no  need  that 
one  write  unto  you :  for  ye  your- 
selves are  taught  of  God  to  love 
one  another ;  10  for  indeed  ye  do

your  own  business,  and  to  work

charged  you ;  12  that  ye  may  walk 
honestly  toward  them  that  are 
without,  and  may  have  need  of 
nothing. 

13  But  we  would  not  have  you 
ignorant,  brethren,  concerning  them 
that  fall  asleep;  that  ye  sorrow 
not,  even  as  the  rest,  which  have 
no  hope.  14  For  if  we  believe  that 
Jesus  died  and  rose  again,  even  so 
them  also  that  are  fallen  asleep 
in  Jesus  will  God  bring  with  him. 
15  For  this  we  say  unto  you  by 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  that  we 
that  are  alive,  that  are  left  unto 
the  coming  of  the  Lord,  shall  in 
no  wise  precede  them  that  are  fallen 
asleep.  16  For  the  Lord  himself 
shall  descend  from  heaven,  with 
a  shout,  with  the  voice  of  the  arch- 
angel, and  with  the  trump  of  God: 
and  the  dead  in  Christ  shall  rise

are  left,  shall  together  with  them 
be  caught  up  in  the  clouds,  to 
meet  the  Lord  in  the  air:  and  so 
shall  we  ever  be  with  the  Lord. 
18  Wherefore  comfort  one  another 
with  these  words.

sion  of  lust,  even  as  the  Gentiles 
who  know  not  God;  6  that  no  man 
transgress,  and  wrong  his  brother 
in  the  matter:  because  the  Lord 
is  an  avenger  in  all  these  things,  as 
also  we  forewarned  you  and  testi- 
fied. 7  For  God  called  us  not  for 
uncleanness,  but  in  sanctification. 
8  Therefore  he  that  rejecteth,  re- 
jecteth  not  man,  but  God,  who 
giveth  his  Holy  Spirit  unto  you. 

9  But  concerning  love  of  the 
brethren  ye  have  no  need  that 
one  write  unto  you:  for  ye  your- 
selves are  taught  of  God  to  love 
one  another;  10  for  indeed  ye  do

you,  brethren,  that  ye  abound

study  to  be  quiet,  and  to  do 
your  own  business,  and  to  work 
with  your  hands,  even  as  we 
charged  you;  12  that  ye  may  walk 
becomingly  toward  them  that  are 
without,  and  may  have  need  of 
nothing. 

13  But  we  would  not  have  you 
ignorant,  brethren,  concerning  them 
that  fall  asleep ;  that  ye  sorrow 
not,  even  as  the  rest,  who  have 
no  hope.  14  For  if  we  believe 
that  Jesus  died  and  rose  again,  even 
so  them  also  that  are  fallen  asleep 
in  Jesus  will  God  bring  with  him. 

15  For  this  we  say  unto  you  by  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  that  we  that  are 
alive,  that  are  left  unto  the  com- 
ing of  the  Lord,  shall  in  no  wise 
precede  them  that  are  fallen  asleep. 

16  For  the  Lord  himself  shall 
descend  from  heaven,  with  a  shout, 
with  the  voice  of  the  archangel, 
and  with  the  trump  of  God :  and 
the  dead  in  Christ  shall  rise  first;

left,  shall  together  with  them  be 
caught  up  in  the  clouds,  to  meet  the 
Lord  in  the  air:  and  so  shall  we 
ever  be  with  the  Lord.  18  Where- 
fore comfort  one  another  with 
these  words. 


5  Not  in  the  passion  of  lust,  like  the 
Gentiles  that  know  not  God: 

6  And  that  no  man  overreach,  nor  cir- 
cumvent his  brother  in  business :  because 
the  Lord  is  the  avenger  of  all  these  things, 
as  we  have  told  you  before,  and  have 
testified. 

7  For  God  hath  not  called  us  unto  un- 
cleanness, but  unto  sanctification. 

8  Therefore,  he  that  despiseth  these 
things,  despiseth  not  man,  but  God,  who 
also  hath  given  his  holy  Spirit  in  us. 

9  But  as  touching  the  charity  of  broth- 
erhood, we  have  no  need  to  write  to  you : 
for  yourselves  have  learned  of  God  to 
love  one  another. 

10  For  indeed  you  do  it  towards  all  the 
brethren  in  all  Macedonia.  But  we  en- 
treat you,  brethren,  that  you  abound 
more: 

11  And  that  you  use  your  endeavour  to 
be  quiet,  and  that  you  do  your  own  busi- 
ness, and  work  with  your  own  hands,  as 
we  commanded  you:  and  that  you  walk 
honestly  towards  them  that  are  without; 
and  that  you  want  nothing  of  any  man's. 

12  And  we  will  not  have  you  igno- 
rant, brethren,  concerning  them  that  are 
asleep,  that  you  be  not  sorrowful,  even 
as  others  who  have  no  hope. 

13  For  if  we  believe  that  Jesus  died, 
and  rose  again ;  even  so  them  who  have 
slept  through  Jesus,  will  God  bring  with 
him. 

14  For  this  we  say  unto  you  in  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  that  we  who  are  alive,  who 
remain  unto  the  coming  of  the  Lord,  shall 
not  prevent  them  who  have  slept. 

15  For  the  Lord  himself  shall  come 
down  from  heaven  with  commandment, 
and  with  the  voice  of  an  archangel,  and 
with  the  trumpet  of  God:  and  the  dead 
who  are  in  Christ,  shall  rise  first. 

16  Then  we  who  are  alive,  who  are  left, 
shall  be  taken  up  together  with  them  in 
the  clouds  to  meet  Christ,  into  the  air, 
and  so  shall  we  be  always  with  the  Lord. 

17  Wherefore,  comfort  ye  one  another 
with  these  words.

the  day  of  the  Lord  so  cometh  as  a  thief 
in  the  night. 

3  For  when  they  shall  say,  Peace  and 
safety;  then  sudden  destruction  cometh 
upon  them,  as  travail  upon  a  woman  with 
child;  and  they  shall  not  escape. 

4  But  ye,  brethren,  are  not  in  dark- 
ness, that  that  day  should  overtake  you 
as  a  thief. 

5  Ye  are  all  the  children  of  light,  and 
the  children  of  the  day:  we  are  not  of 
the  night,  nor  of  darkness. 

6  Therefore  let  us  not  sleep,  as  do 
others;   but   let  us  watch  and  be  sober. 

7  For  they  that  sleep  sleep  in  the 
night ;  and  they  that  be  drunken  are 
drunken  in  the  night. 

8  But  let  us,  who  are  of  the  day,  be 
sober,  putting  on  the  breastplate  of  faith 
and  love ;  and  for  an  helmet,  the  hope  of 
salvation. 

9  For  God  hath  not  appointed  us  to 
wrath,  but  to  obtain  salvation  by  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ, 

ID  Who  died  for  us,  that,  whether  we 
wake  or  sleep,  we  should  live  together 
with  him. 

11  Wherefore  comfort  yourselves  to- 
gether, and  edify  one  another,  even  as 
also  ye  do. 

12  And  we  beseech  you,  brethren,  to 
know  them  which  labour  among  you, 
and  are  over  you  in  the  Lord,  and  ad- 
monish you ; 

13  And  to  esteem  them  very  highly  in 
love  for  their  work's  sake.  And  be  at 
peace  among  yourselves. 

14  Now  we  exhort  you,  brethren,  warn 
them  that  are  unruly,  comfort  the  feeble- 
minded, support  the  weak,  be  patient 
toward  all  men. 

15  See  that  none  render  evil  for  evil 
unto  any  man;  but  ever  follow  that  which 
is  good,  both  among  yourselves,  and  to 
all  men. 

16  Rejoice  evermore. 

17  Pray  without  ceasing. 

18  In  every  thing  give  thanks :  for  this 
is  the  will  of  God  in  Christ  Jesus  con- 
cerning you. 

19  Quench  not  the  Spirit. 

20  Despise  not  prophesyings. 

21  Prove  all  things;  hold  fast  that 
which  is  good. 

22  Abstain  from  all  appearance  of 
evil. 

23  And  the  very  God  of  peace  sanctify 
you  wholly;  and  /  pray  God  your  whole 
spirit   and   soul   and   body   be  preserved 


perfectly  that  the  day  of  the  Lord 
so  cometh  as  a  thief  in  the  night. 
3  When  they  are  saying,  Peace 
and  safety,  then  sudden  destruc- 
tion cometh  upon  them,  as  travail 
upon  a  woman  with  child ;  and 
they  shall  in  no  wise  escape.  4  But 
ye,  brethren,  are  not  in  darkness, 
that  that  day  should  overtake  you 
as  a  thief :  5  for  ye  are  all  sons  of 
light,  and  sons  of  the  day:  we  are 
not  of  the  night,  nor  of  darkness ; 

6  so  then  let  us  not  sleep,  as  do  the 
rest,  but  let  us  watch  and  be  sober. 

7  For  they  that  sleep  sleep  in  the 
night;  and  they  that  be  drunken 
are  drunken  in  the  night.  8  But  let 
us,  since  we  are  of  the  day,  be  so- 
ber, putting  on  the  breastplate  of 
faith  and  love ;  and  for  a  helmet, 
the  hope  of  salvation.  9  For  God 
appointed  us  not  unto  wrath,  but

gether with  him.  11  Wherefore  ex- 
hort one  another,  and  build  each 
other  up,  even  as  also  ye  do. 

12  But  we  beseech  you,  brethren,

and  admonish  you;  13  and  to  es-

hort you,  brethren,  admonish  the 
disorderly,  encourage  the  faint- 
hearted, support  the  weak,  be 
longsuffering  toward  all.  15  See 
that  none  render  unto  any  one  evil 
for  evil;  but  alway  follow  after 
that  which  is  good,  one  toward  an- 
other, and  toward  all.  16  Rejoice 
alway;  17  pray  without  ceasing; 
18  in  everything  give  thanks:  for 
this  is  the  will  of  God  in  Christ  Je- 
sus to  you-ward.  19  Quench  not

as  a  thief. 

5  For  all  you  are  the  children  of  light, 
and  children  of  the  day:  we  are  not  of 
the  night,  nor  of  darkness. 

6  Therefore,  let  us  not  sleep,  as  others 
do;  but  let  us  watch,  and  be  sober. 

7  For  they  that  sleep,  sleep  in  the  night ; 
and  they  that  are  drunk,  are  drunk  in 
the  night. 

8  But  let  us,  who  are  of  the  day,  be 
sober,  having  on  the  breastplate  of  faith 
and  charity,  and  for  a  helmet  the  hope 
of  salvation. 

9  For  God  hath  not  appointed  us  unto 
wrath,  but  unto  the  purchasing  of  salva- 
tion by  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 

10  Who  died  for  us;  that,  whether  we 
watch  or  sleep,  we  may  live  together 
with  him. 

11  For  which  cause  comfort  one  an- 
other; and  edify  one  another,  as  you 
also  do. 

12  And  we  beseech  you,  brethren,  to 
know  them  who  labour  among  you,  and 
are  over  you  in  the  Lord,  and  admonish 
you: 

13  That  you  esteem  them  more  abun- 
dantly in  charity,  for  their  work's  sake. 
Have  peace  with  them. 

14  And  we  beseech  you,  brethren,  re- 
buke the  unquiet,  comfort  the  feeble 
minded,  support  the  weak,  be  patient 
towards  all  men. 

15  See  that  none  render  evil  for  evil 
to  any  man;  but  ever  follow  that  which 
is  good  towards  each  other,  and  towards 
all  men. 

16  Always  rejoice. 

17  Pray  without  ceasing. 

18  In  all  things  give  thanks ;  for  this  is 
the  will  of  God  in  Christ  Jesus  concern- 
ing you  all. 

19  Extinguish  not  the  spirit. 

20  Despise  not  prophecies. 

21  But  prove  all  things;  hold  fast  that 
which  is  good. 

22  From  all  appearance  of  evil  refrain 
yourselves. 

23  And  may  the  God  of  peace  himself 
sanctify    you    in    all    things;    that    your

3  We  are  bound  to  give  thanks  always 
to  God  for  you,  brethren,  as  it  is  fitting, 
because  your  faith  groweth  exceedingly, 
and  the  charity  of  every  one  of  you  to-

CHAPTER  2. 

NOW    we   beseech    you,    brethren,    by 
the  coming  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
and  by  our  gathering  together  unto  him, 

2  That  ye  be  not  soon  shaken  in  mind, 
or  be  troubled,  neither  by  spirit,  nor  by 
word,  nor  by  letter  as  from  us,  as  that 
the  day  of  Christ  is  at  hand. 

3  Let  no  man  deceive  you  by  any 
means:  for  that  day  shall  not  come,  ex- 
cept there  come  a  falling  away  first,  and 
that  man  of  sin  be  revealed,  the  son  of 
perdition ; 

4  Who  opposeth  and  exalteth  himself 
above  all  that  is  called  God,  or  that*  is 
worshipped;  so  that  he  as  God  sitteth 
in  the  temple  of  God,  shewing  himself 
that  he  is  God. 

5  Remember  ye  not,  that,  when  I  was 
yet  with  you,  I  told  you  these  things? 

6  And  now  ye  know  what  withholdeth 
that  he  might  be  revealed  in  his  time. 

7  For  the  mystery  of  iniquity  doth  al- 
ready work:  only  he  who  now  letteth 
will  let,  until  he  be  taken  out  of  the 
way. 

8  And  then  shall  that  Wicked  be  re- 
vealed, whom  the  Lord  shall  consume 
with  the  spirit  of  his  mouth,  and  shall 
destroy  with  the  brightness  of  his  com-

9  Even  him,  whose  coming  is  after  the 
,working   of    Satan    with    all    power    and

10  And  with  all  deceivableness  of  un- 
righteousness in  them  that  perish;  be- 
cause they  received  not  the  love  of  the 
truth,  that  they  might  be  saved. 

11  And  for  this  cause  God  shall  send 
them  strong  delusion,  that  they  should  be- 
lieve a  lie :

believed  not  the  truth,  but  had  pleasure

ye  know  that  which  restraineth,  to  I 
the  end  that  he  may  be  revealed  in  i 
his  own  season.  7  For  the  mystery  j 
of  lawlessness  doth  already  work:  1 
only  there  is  one  that  restraineth  • 
now,  until  he  be  taken  out  of  the  ! 
way.  8  And  then  shall  be  revealed  I 
the  lawless  one,  whom  the  Lord  j 
Jesus  shall  slay  with  the  breath  •

himself  against  all  that  is  called 
God  or  that  is  worshipped ;  so 
that  he  sitteth  in  the  temple  of

5  Remember  ye  not,  that,  when  I 
was  yet  with  you,  I  told  you  these 
things?  6  And  now  ye  know  that 
which  restraineth,  to  the  end  that 
he  may  be  revealed  in  his  own  sea-

lessness doth  already  work:  only 
there  is  one  that  restraineth  now, 
until  he  be  taken  out  of  the  way. 

8  And  then  shall  be  revealed  the 
lawless  one,  whom  the  Lord  Jesus 
shall  slay  with  the  breath  of  his 
mouth,  and  bring  to  nought  by 
the   manifestation    of   his    coming;

our  testimony  was  believed  upon  you  in

CHAPTER  2. 

AND  we  beseech  you,  brethren,  by  the 
coming   of   our   Lord   Jesus    Christ, 
and  of  our  gathering  together  unto  him: 

2  That  you  be  not  easily  moved  from 
your  sense,  nor  be  terrified,  neither  by 
spirit,  nor  by  word,  nor  by  epistle,  as 
sent  from  us,  as  if  the  day  of  the  Lord 
were  at  hand. 

3  Let  no  man  deceive  you  by  any 
means,  for  unless  there  come  a  revolt 
first,  and  the  man  of  sin  be  revealed,  the 
son  of  perdition, 

4  Who  opposeth,  and  is  lifted  up  above 
all  that  is  called  God,  or  that  is  wor- 
shipped, so  that  he  sitteth  in  the  temple 
of  God,  shewing  himself  as  if  he  were 
God. 

5  Remember  you  not,  that  when  I  was 
yet  with  you,  I  told  you  these  things? 

6  And  now  you  know  what  withhold- 
eth,  that  he  may  be  revealed  in  his  time. 

7  For  the  mystery  of  iniquity  already 
worketh ;  only  that  he  who  now  holdeth, 
do  hold,  until  he  be  taken  out  of  the 
way. 

8  And  then  that  wicked  one  shall  be  re- 
vealed whom  the  Lord  Jesus  shall  kill 
with  the  spirit  of  his  mouth;  and  shall 
destroy  with  the  brightness  of  his  com- 
ing, him, 

9  Whose  coming  is  according  to  the 
working  of  Satan,  in  all  power,  and 
signs,  and  lying  wonders, 

10  And  in  all  seduction  of  iniquity  to 
them  that  perish;  because  they  receive 
not  the  love  of  the  truth,  that  they 
might  be  saved.  Therefore  God  shall 
send  them  the  operation  of  error,  to  be- 
lieve lying: 

11  That  all  may  be  judged  who  have  not 
believed  the  truth,  but  have  consented

hold  the  traditions  which  ye  have  been 
taught,  whether  by  word,  or  our  epistle. 

16  Now  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  him-

hath  loved  us,  and  hath  given  us  everlast-

who  believed  not  the  truth,  but 
had  pleasure  in  unrighteousness. 

13  But  we  are  bound  to  give 
thanks  to  God  alway  for  you, 
brethren  beloved  of  the  Lord,  for 
that  God  chose  you  from  the  begin- 
ning unto  salvktion  in  sanctifica-

truth :  14  whereunto  he  called  you 
through  our  gospel,  to  the  obtain- 
ing of  the  glory  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ.  15  So  then,  brethren,  stand 
fast,  and  hold  the  traditions  which 
ye  were  taught,  whether  by  word, 
or  by  epistle  of  ours. 

16  Now  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ 
himself,  and  God  our  Father  which 
loved  us  and  gave  us  eternal  com- 
fort and  good  hope  through  grace, 
17  comfort  your  hearts  and  stablish

CHAPTER  3. 

FINALLY,  brethren,  pray  for  us,  that 
the  word  of  the  Lord  may  have  free 
course,  and  be  glorified,  even  as  it  is  with 
you: 

2  And  that  we  may  be  delivered  from 
unreasonable  and  wicked  men :  for  all 
men  have  not   faith. 

3  But  the  Lord  is  faithful,  who  shall 
stablish  you,  and  keep  you  from  evil. 

4  And  we  have  confidence  in  the  Lord 
touching  you,  that  ye  both  do  and  will 
do  the   things   which  we  command  you. 

5  And  the  Lord  direct  your  hearts  into 
the  love  of  God,  and  into  the  patient 
waiting    for   Christ. 

6  Now  we  command  you,  brethren,  in 
the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
that  ye  withdraw  yourselves  from  every 
brother  that  walketh  disorderly,  and  not 
after  the  tradition  which  he  received  of 
us. 

7  For  yourselves  know  how  ye  ought 
to  follow  us:  for  we  behaved  not  our- 
selves disorderly  among  you; 

8  Neither  did  we  eat  any  man's  bread 
for  nought;  but  wrought  with  labour 
and  travail  night  and  day,  that  we  might 
not  be  chargeable  to  any  of  you : 

9  Not  because  we  have  not  power,  but 
to  make  ourselves  an  ensample  unto  you 
to  follow  us. 

ID  For  even  when  we  were  with 
you,    this    we    commanded    you,    that    if 


TT^INALLY,  brethren,  pray  for 
O-T  us,  that  the  word  of  the  Lord 
may  run  and  be  glorified,  even  as 
also  it  is  with  you ;  2  and  that 
we  may  be  delivered  from  unrea- 
sonable and  evil  men;  for  all  have 
not  faith.  3  But  the  Lord  is  faith- 
ful, who  shall  stablish  you,  and 
guard  you  from  the  evil  one. 
4  And  we  have  confidence  in  the 
Lord  touching  you,  that  ye  both 
do  and  will  do  the  things  which  we 
command.  5  And  the  Lord  direct 
your  hearts  into  the  love  of  God, 
and  into  the  patience  of  Christ. 

6  Now  we  command  you,  breth- 
ren, in  the  name  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  that  ye  withdraw 
yourselves  from  every  brother  that 
walketh  disorderly,  and  not  after 
the  tradition  which  they  received 
of  us.  7  For  yourselves  know  how 
ye  ought  to  imitate  us:  for  we 
behaved  not  ourselves  disorderly 
among  you ;  8  neither  did  we  eat 
bread  for  nought  at  any  man's 
hand,  but  in  labour  and  travail, 
working  night  and  day,  that  we 
might  not  burden  any  of  you :  9 
not  because  we  have  not  the  right, 
but  to  make  ourselves  an  ensample 
unto  you,  that  ye  should  imitate  us. 
10  For  even  when   we   were   with

lieve  a  lie:  12  that  they  all  might 
be  judged  who  believed  not  the 
truth,  but  had  pleasure  in  un- 
righteousness, 

13  But  we  are  bound  to  give 
thanks  to  God  always  for  you, 
brethren  beloved  of  the  Lord,  for 
that  God  chose  you  from  the 
beginning  unto  salvation  in  sanc- 
tification  of  the  Spirit  and  be- 
lief of  the  truth :  14  whereunto 
he  called  you  through  our  gos- 
pel, to  the  obtaining  of  the  glory 
of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  15  So 
then,  brethren,  stand  fast,  and 
hold  the  traditions  which  ye  were 
taught,  whether  by  word,  or  by 
epistle  of  ours. 

16  Now  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ 
himself,  and  God  our  Father  who 
loved  us  and  gave  us  eternal  com- 
fort and  good  hope  through  grace, 
17  comfort  your  hearts  and  estab- 
lish them  in  every  good  work  and 
word. 

iniNALLY,  brethren,  pray  for 
3X/  us,  that  the  word  of  the  Lord 
may  run  and  be  glorified,  even  as 
also  it  is  with  you;  2  and  that  we 
may  be  delivered  from  unreason- 
able and  evil  men;  for  all  have  not 
faith.  3  But  the  Lord  is  faith- 
ful, who  shall  establish  you,  and 
g;uard  you  from  the  evil  one. 
4  And  we  have  confidence  in  the 
Lord  touching  you,  that  ye  both 
do  and  will  do  the  things  which 
we  command.  5  And  the  Lord  di- 
rect your  hearts  into  the  love  of 
God,  and  into  the  patience  of 
Christ. 

6  Now  we  command  you,  breth- 
ren, in  the  name  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  that  ye  withdraw 
yourselves  from  every  brother  that 
walketh  disorderly,  and  not  af- 
ter the  tradition  which  they  re- 
ceived of  us.  7  For  yourselves 
know  how  ye  ought  to  imitate 
us :  for  we  behaved  not  ourselves 
disorderly  among  you;  8  neither 
did  we  eat  bread  for  nought  at 
any  man's  hand,  but  in  labor  and 
travail,  working  night  and  day, 
that  we  might  not  burden  any  of 
you:  9  not  because  we  have  not 
the  right,  but  to  make  ourselves 
an    ensample    unto    you,    that    ye 


always  for  you,  brethren,  beloved  of  God, 
for  that  God  hath  chosen  you  firstfruits 
unto  salvation,  in  sanctification  of  the 
spirit,  and  faith  of  the  truth: 

13  Whereunto  also  he  hath  called  you 
by  our  gospel,  unto  the  purchasing  of 
the  glory  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

14  Therefore,  brethren,  stand  fast;  and 
hold  the  traditions  which  you  have 
learned,  whether  by  word,  or  by  our 
epistle. 

15  Now  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  himself, 
and  God  and  our  Father,  who  hath  loved 
us,  and  hath  given  us  everlasting  conso- 
lation, and  good  hope  in  grace, 

16  Exhort  your  hearts,  and  confirm  you 
in  every  good  work  and  word. 


CHAPTER  3. 

FOR  the  rest,  brethren,  pray  for~us, 
that  the  word  of  God  may  run, 
and  may  be  glorified,  even  as  among 
you; 

2  And  that  we  may  be  delivered  from 
importunate  and  evil  men;  for  all  men 
have  not  faith. 

3  But  God  is  faithful,  who  will  strength- 
en and  keep  you  from  evil. 

4  And  we  have  confidence  concerning 
you  in  the  Lord,  that  the  things  which 
we  command,  you  both  do,  and  will 
do. 

5  And  the  Lord  direct  your  hearts,  in 
the  charity  of  God,  and  the  patience  of 
Christ. 

6  And  we  charge  you,  brethren,  in  the 
name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  that  you 
withdraw  yourselves  from  every  brother 
walking  disorderly,  and  not  according  to 
the  tradition  which  they  have  received 
of  us. 

7  For  yourselves  know  how  you  ought 
to  imitate  us :  for  we  were  not  disor- 
derly among  you ; 

8  Neither  did  we  eat  any  man's  bread 
for  nothing,  but  in  labour  and  in  toil  we 
worked  night  and  day,  lest  we  should  be 
chargeable  to  any  of  you. 

9  Not  as  if  we  had  not  power :  but  that 
we  might  give  ourselves  a  pattern  unto 
you,  to  imitate  us. 

10  For  also  when  we  were  with  you,  this

any  would  not  work,   neither  should  he 
eat. 

11  For  we  hear  that  there  are  some 
which  walk  among  you  disorderly,  work- 
ing not  at  all,  but  are  busybodies. 

12  Now  them  that  are  such  we  com- 
mand and  exhort  by  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  that  with  quietness  they  work, 
and  eat  their  own  bread. 

13  But  ye,  brethren,  be  not  weary  in 
well   doing. 

14  And  if  any  man  obey  not  our  word 
by  this  epistle,  note  that  man,  and  have 
no  company  with  him,  that  he  may  be 
ashamed. 

15  Yet  count  him  not  as  an  enemy,  but 
admonish  him  as  a  brother. 

16  Now  the  Lord  of  peace  himself 
give  you  peace  always  by  all  means.  The 
Lord  be  with  you  all.

TIMOTHY 


CHAPTER  I. 

PAUL,  an  apostle  of  Jesus  Christ  by 
the  commandment  of  God  our 
Saviour,  and  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  which  is 
our  hope; 

2  Unto  Timothy,  my  own  son  in  the 
faith :  Grace,  mercy,  and  peace,  from  God 
our  Father  and  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

3  As  I  besought  thee  to  abide  still  at

that  thou  mightest  charge  some  that  they 
teach  no  other  doctrine, 

4  Neither  give  heed  to  fables  and  end- 
less genealogies,  which  minister  questions, 
rather  than  godly  edifying  which  is  in 
faith :  so  do. 

5  Now  the  end  of  the  commandment 
is  charity  out  of  a  pure  heart,  and  of 
^  good  conscience,  and  of  faith  unfeigned ;

and  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord. 

3  As  I  exhorted  thee  to  tarry  at 
Ephesus,  when  I  was  going  into 
Macedonia,  that  thou  mightest

different  doctrine,  4  neither  to  give 
heed  to  fables  and  endless  geneal- 
ogies, the  which  minister  question- 
ings, rather  than  a  dispensation  of 
God  which  is  in  faith ;  so  do  I  now. 
5  But  the  end  of  the  charge  is  love 
out  of  a  pure  heart  and  a  good 
conscience  and  faith  unfeigned :  6 
from    which    things    some    having

should  imitate  us.  lo  For  even 
when  we  were  with  you,  this  we 
commanded  you,  If  any  will  not 
work,  neither  let  him  eat.  ii  For 
we  hear  of  some  that  walk  among 
you  disorderly,  that  work  not  at 
all,  but  are  busybodies.  12  Now 
them  that  are  such  we  command 
and  exhort  in  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  that  with  quietness  they 
work,  and  eat  their  own  bread. 
13  But  ye,  brethren,  be  not 
weary  in  well-doing.  14  And  if 
any  man  obeyeth  not  our  word  by 
this  epistle,  note  that  man,  that 
ye  have  no  company  with  him,  to 
the  end  that  he  may  be  ashamed.

enemy,  but  admonish  him  as  a

we  declared  to  you :  that,  if  any  man  will 
not  work,  neither  let  him  eat. 

11  For  we  have  heard  there  are  some 
among  you  who  walk  disorderly,  working 
not  at  all,  but  curiously  meddling. 

12  Now  we  charge  them  that  are  such, 
and  beseech  them  by  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  that,  working  with  silence,  they 
would  eat  their  own  bread. 

13  But  you,  brethren,  be  not  weary  in 
well  doing. 

14  And  if  any  man  obey  not  our  word 
by  this  epistle,  note  that  man,  and  do  not 
keep  company  with  him,  that  he  may  be 
ashamed : 

15  Yet  do  not  esteem  him  as  an  enemy, 
but  admonish  him  as  a  brother.

you  everlasting  peace  in  every  place. 
The  L6rd  be  with  you  all.

6  From  which  some  having  swerved 
have   turned   aside  unto  vain  jangling; 

7  Desiring  to  be  teachers  of  the  law ; 
understanding  neither  what  they  say,  nor 
whereof  they  affirm. 

8  But  we  know  that  the  law  is  good, 
if  a  man  use  it  lawfully: 

9  Knowing  this,  that  the  law  is  not 
made  for  a  righteous  man,  but  for  the 
lawless  and  disobedient,  for  the  ungodly 
and  for  sinners,  for  unholy  and  profane,

contrary  to   sound   doctrine ; 

11  According  to  the  glorious  gospel  of 
the  blessed  God,  which  was  co/nmitted 
to  my  trust. 

12  And  I  thank  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord, 
who  hath  enabled  me,  for  that  he  counted 
me  faithful,  putting,  me  into  the  ministry ; 

13  Who  was  before  a  blasphemer,  and 
a  persecutor,  and  injurious:  but  I  ob- 
tained mercy,  because  I  did  it  ignorantly 
in  unbelief. 

14  And  the  grace  of  our  Lord  was  ex- 
ceeding abundant  with  faith  and  love 
which  is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

15  This  is  a  faithful  saying,  and  wor- 
thy of  all  acceptation,  that  Christ  Jesus 
came  into  the  world  to  save  sinners;  of 
whom  I  am  chief. 

16  Howbeit  for  this  cause  I  obtained 
mercy,  that  in  me  first  Jesus  Christ  might 
shew  forth  all  longsuffering,  for  a  pat-

lieve on  him  to  life  everlasting. 

17  Now  unto  the  King  eternal,  im-

Amen. 

18  This  charge  I  commit  unto  thee,  son 
Timothy,  according  to  the  prophecies 
which  went  before  on  thee,  that  thou  by 
them  mightest  war  a  good  warfare; 

19  Holding  faith,  and  a  good  con-

cerning faith  have  made  shipwreck:

But  we  know  that  the  law  is  good, 
if  a  man  use  it  lawfully,  9  as  know- 
ing this,  that  law  is  not  made  for 
a  righteous  man,  but  for  the  lawless 
and  unruly,  for  the  ungodly  and 
sinners,  for  the  unholy  and  profane, 
for  murderers  of  fathers  and  mur-

10  for  fornicators,  for  abusers  of 
themselves  with  men,  for  men-

contrary  to  the  sound  doctrine;  11 
according  to  the  gospel  of  the  glory 
of  the  blessed  God,  which  was  com-

12  I  thank  him  that  enabled  me, 
even  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord,  for  that 
he  counted  me  faithful,  appointing 
me  to  his  service;  13  though  I  was 
before  a  blasphemer,  and  a  perse-

grace  of  our  Lord  abounded  exceed- 
ingly with  faith  and  love  which  is 
in  Christ  Jesus.  15  Faithful  is  the 
saying,  and  worthy  of  all  accepta-

I  obtained  mercy,  that  in  me  as 
chief  might  Jesus  Christ  shew  forth 
all  his  longsuffering,  for  an  ensam-

believe  on  him  unto  eternal  life.  17 
Now  unto  the  King  eternal,  incor-

having  swerved  have  turned  aside 
unto  vain  talking;  7  desiring  to  be 
teachers  of  the  law,  though  they  un- 
derstand neither  what  they  say,  nor 
whereof  they  confidently  affirm.  8 
But  we  know  that  the  law  is  good, 
if  a  man  use  it  lawfully,  9  as  know- 
ing this,  that  law  is  not  made  for 
a  righteous  man,  but  for  the  lawless 
and  unruly,  for  the  ungodly  and 
sinners,  for  the  unholy  and  pro- 
fane, for  murderers  of  fathers  and 
murderers  of  mothers,  for  man- 
slayers,  10  for  fornicators,  for 
abusers  of  themselves  with  men,  for 
menstealers,  for  liars,  for  false 
swearers,  and  if  there  be  any  other 
thing  contrary  to  the  sound  dec- 
trine;  II  according  to  the  gospel 
of  the  glory  of  the  blessed  God, 
which  was  committed  to  my  trust. 

12  I  thank  him  that  enabled  me, 
even  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord,  for 
that  he  counted  me  faithful,  ap- 
pointing me  to  his  service ;  13 
though  I  was  before  a  blasphemer, 
and  a  persecutor,  and  injurious: 
howbeit  I  obtained  mercy,  because 
I  did  it  ignorantly  in  unbelief;  14 
and  the  grace  of  our  Lord  abounded 
exceedingly  with  faith  and  love 
which  is  in  Christ  Jesus,  15  Faith- 
ful is  the  saying,  and  worthy  of  all 
acceptation,  that  Christ  Jesus  came 
into  the  world  to  save  sinners ;  of 
whom  I  am  chief:  16  howbeit  for 
this  cause  I  obtained  mercy,  that  in 
me  as  chief  might  Jesus  Christ 
show  forth  all  his  longsuffering,  for 
an  ensample  of  them  that  should 
thereafter  believe  on  him  unto  eter- 
nal life.  17  Now  unto  the  King 
eternal,  immortal,  invisible,  the  only 
God,  he  honor  and  glory  for  ever 
and  ever.     Amen. 

18  This  charge  I  commit  unto 
thee,  my  child  Timothy,  according 
to  the  prophecies  which  led  the 
way  to  thee,  that  by  them  thou 
mayest  war  the  good  warfare ;  19 
holding  faith  and  a  good  con- 
science ;  which  some  having  thrust 
from  them  made  shipwreck  concern- 
ing the  faith:  20  of  whom  is  Hy- 
menaeus  and  Alexander ;  whom  I 
delivered  unto  Satan,  that  they 
might  be  taught  not  to  blaspheme. 


6  From  which  things  some  going  astray, 
are  turned  aside  unto  vain  babbling: 

7  Desiring  to  be  teachers  of  the  law, 
understanding  neither  the  things  they  say, 
nor  whereof  they  affirm. 

8  But  we  know  that  the  law  is  good,  if 
a  man  use  it  lawfully : 

9  Knowing  this,  that  the  law  is  not 
made  for  the  just  man,  but  for  the  un- 
just and  disobedient,  for  the  ungodly,  and 
for  sinners,  for  the  wicked  and  defiled, 
for  murderers  of  fathers,  and  murderers 
of  mothers,  for  manslayers, 

10  For  fornicators,  for  them  who  de- 
file themselves  with  mankind,  for  men- 
stealers, for  liars,  for  perjured  persons, 
and  whatever  other  thing  is  contrary  to 
sound  doctrine, 

11  Which  is  according  to  the  gospel  of 
the  glory  of  the  blessed  God,  which  hath 
been  committed  to  my  trust. 

12  I  give  him  thanks  who  hath  strength- 
ened me,  even  to  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord, 
for  that  he  hath  counted  me  faithful,  put- 
ting me  in  the  ministry; 

13  Who  before  was  a  blasphemer,  and  a 
persecutor,  and  contumelious.  But  I  ob- 
tained the  mercy  of  God,  because  I  did 
it  ignorantly  in  unbelief. 

14  Now  the  grace  of  our  Lord  hath 
abounded  exceedingly  with  faith  and 
love,  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

15  A  faithful  saying,  and  worthy  of  all 
acceptation,  that  Christ  Jesus  came  into 
this  world  to  save  sinners,  of  whom  I  am 
the  chief. 

16  But  for  this  cause  have  I  obtained 
mercy:  that  in  me  first  Christ  Jesus 
might  shew  forth  all  patience,  for  the 
information  of  them  that  shall  believe 
in  him  unto  life  everlasting. 

17  Now  to  the  king  of  ages,  immortal, 
invisible,  the  only  God,  be  honour  and 
glory  for  ever  and  even    Amen. 

18  This  precept  I  commend  to  thee,  O 
son  Timothy ;  according  to  the  prophe- 
cies going  before  on  thee,  that  thou  war 
in  them  a  good  warfare, 

19  Having  faith  and  a  good  conscience, 
which  some  rejecting  have  made  ship- 
wreck concerning  the  faith. 

20  Of  whom  is  Hymeneus  and  Alex- 
ander, whom  I  have  delivered  up  to  Satan, 
that  they  may  learn  not  to  blaspheme.

I  EXHORT  therefore,  that,  first  of  all, 
supplications,  prayers,  intercessions, 
and  giving  of  thanks,  be  made  for  all 
men; 

2  For  kings,  and  for  all  that  are  in

peaceable  life  in  all  godliness  and  honesty. 

3  For  this  is  good  and  acceptable  in 
the  sight  of  God  our  Saviour; 

4  Who  will  have  all  men  to  be  saved^ 
and  to  come  unto  the  knowledge  of  the 
truth. 

5  For  there  is  one  God,  and  one  medi- 
ator between  God  and  men,  the  man 
Christ  Jesus; 

6  Who  gave  himself  a  ransom  for  all, 
to  be  testified  in  due  time. 

7  Whereunto  I  am  ordained  a  preacher, 
and  an  apostle,  (I  speak  the  truth  in 
Christ,  and  lie  not;)  a  teacher  of  the 
Gentiles  in  faith  and  verity. 

8  I  will  therefore  that  men  pray  every 
where,  lifting  up  holy  hands,  without 
wrath  and  doubting. 

9  In  like  manner  also,  that  women  adorn 
themselves  in  modest  apparel,  with  shame-

hair,  or  gold,  or  pearls,  or  costly  array ;

all  subjection. 

12  But  I  suffer  not  a  woman  to  teach, 
nor  to  usurp  authority  over  the  man,  but 
to  be  in  silence. 

13  For  Adam  was  first  formed,  then 
Eve. 

14  And  Adam  was  not  deceived,  but 
the  woman  being  deceived  was  in  the 
transgression. 

15  Notwithstanding  she  shall  be  saved 
in  childbearing,  if  they  continue  in  faith 
and  charity  and  holiness  with  sobriety.

THIS  is  a  true  saying.  If  a  man  desire 
the  office  of  a  bishop,  he  desireth  a 
good  work. 

2  A  bishop  then  must  be  blameless,  the 
husband  of  one  wife,  vigilant,  sober,  of 
good  behaviour,  given  to  hospitality,  apt 
to  teach ; 

3  Not  given  to  wine,  no  striker,  not 
greedy  of  filthy  lucre ;  but  patient,  not 
a  brawler,   not  covetous ;

may  lead  a  tranquil  and  quiet  life

is  good  and  acceptable  in  the  sight 
of  God  our  Saviour;  4  who  willeth 
that  all  men  should  be  saved,  and 
come  to  the  knowledge  of  the  truth. 
5  For  there  is  one  God,  one  medi- 
ator also  between  God  and  men, 
himself  man,  Christ  Jesus,  6  who 
gave  himself  a  ransom  for  all ;  the 
testimony  to  be  borne  in  its  own 
times ;  7  whereunto  I  was  appointed 
a  preacher  and  an  apostle  (I  speak 
the  truth,  I  lie  not),  a  teacher  of 
the  Gentiles  in  faith  and  truth. 

8  I  desire  therefore  that  the  men 
pray  in  every  place,  lifting  up  holy 
hands,  without  wrath  and  disputing. 
9  In  like  manner,  that  women  adorn 
themselves  in  modest  apparel,  with 
shamefastness  and  sobriety ;  not 
with  braided  hair,  and  gold  or 
pearls  or  costly  raiment ;  10  but 
(which  becometh  women  professing 
godliness)  through  good  works.  11 
Let  a  woman  learn  in  quietness 
with  all  subjection.  12  But  I  per- 
mit not  a  woman  to  teach,  nor  to

He  who  was  manifested  in  the 

flesh, 
Justified  in  the  spirit, 

Seen  of  angels. 
Preached  among  the  nations, 
Believed  on  in  the  world. 

Received  up  in  glory. 

T3UT  the  Spirit  saith  expressly, 
4J3  that  in  later  times  some  shall 
fall  away  from  the  faith,  giving 
heed  to  seducing  spirits  and  doc- 
trines of  demons,  2  through  the 
hypocrisy  of  men  that  speak  lies, 
branded  in  their  own  conscience  as 
with  a  hot  iron ;  3  forbidding  to 
marry,  and  commanding  to  abstain 
from  meats,  which  God  created  to 
be  received  with  thanksgiving  by 
them  that  believe  and  know  the 
truth.  4  For  every  creature  of  God 
is  good,  and  nothing  is  to  be  re- 


having  his  children  in  subjection  with  all 
chastity. 

5  But  if  a  man  know  not  how  to  rule 
his  own  house,  how  shall  he  take  care  of 
the  church  of  God? 

6  Not  a  neophyte:  lest  being  puffed  up 
with  pride,  he  fall  into  thd  judgment  of 
the  devil. 

7  Moreover  he  must  have  a  good  testi- 
mony of  them  who  are  without:  lest  he 
fall  into  reproach  and  the  snare  of  the 
devil. 

8  Deacons  in  like  manner  chaste,  not 
double  tongued,  not  given  to  much  wine, 
not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre: 

9  Holding  the  mystery  of  faith  in  a 
pure  conscience. 

10  And  let  these  also  first  be  proved :  and 
so  let  them  minister,  having  no  crime. 

11  The  women  in  like  manner  chaste, 
not  slanderers,  but  sober,  faithful  in  all 
things. 

12  Let  deacons  be  the  husbands  of  one 
wife:  who  rule  well  their  children,  and 
their  own  houses. 

13  For  they  that  have  ministered  well, 
shall  purchase  to  themselves  a  good  de- 
gree, and  much  confidence  in  the  faith 
which  is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

14  These  things  I  write  to  thee,  hoping 
that  I  shall  come  to  thee  shortly. 

15  But  if  I  tarry  long,  that  thou  mayest 
know  how  thou  oughtest  to  behave  thy- 
self in  the  house  of  God,  which  is  the 
church  of  the  living  God,  the  pillar  and 
ground  of  the  truth. 

16  And  evidently  great  is  the  mystery 
of  godliness,  which  was  manifested  in 
the  flesh,  was  justified  in  the  spirit,  ap- 
peared unto  angels,  hath  been  preached 
unto  the  Gentiles,  is  believed  in  the  world, 
is  taken  up  in  glory. 

CHAPTER  4. 

NOW  the  Spirit  manifestly  saith,  that 
in  the  last  times  some  shall  depart 
from  the  faith,  giving  heed  to  spirits  of 
error,  and  doctrines  of  devils, 

2  Speaking  lies  in  hypocrisy,  and  having 
their  conscience  seared, 

3  Forbidding  to  marry,  to  abstain  from 
meats,  which  God  hath  created  to  be  re- 
ceived with  thanksgiving  by  the  faith- 
ful, and  by  them  that  have  known  the 
truth. 

4  For  every  creature  of  God  is  good, 
and  nothing  to  be  rejected  that  is  re- 
ceived with  thanksgiving:

6  If  thou  put  the  brethren  in  remem- 
brance of  these  things,  thou  shalt  be  a 
good  minister  of  Jesus  Christ,  nour- 
ished up  in  the  words  of  faith  and 
of  good  doctrine,  whereunto  thou  hast 
attained.

of  all  acceptation.

living  God,  who  is  the  Saviour  of  all 
men,   specially  of  those  that   believe. 

11  These  things  command  and  teach.

word,  in  conversation,  in  charity,  in  spirit, 
in  faith,  in  purity.

which  was  given  thee  by  prophecy,  with 
the  laying,  on  of  the  hands  of  the  pres-

dead  while  she  liveth.

they  may  be  blameless. 

8  But  if  any  provide  not  for  his  own, 
and  specially  for  those  of  his  own  house, 
he  hath  denied  the  faith,  and  is  worse 
than  an  infidel. 

9  Let  not  a  widow  be  taken  into  the

ing been  the  wife  of  one  man,

have  lodged  strangers,  if  she  have  washed 
the  saints'  feet,  if  she  have  relieved  the 
afflicted,  if  she  have  diligently  followed 
every  good  work. 

11  But  the  younger  widows  refuse:  for 
when  they  have  begun  to  wax  wanton 
against  Christ,  they  will  marry; 

12  Having  damnation,  because  they  have 
cast  off  their  first  faith. 

13  And  withal  they  learn  to  he  idle, 
wandering  about  from  house  to  house ; 
and  not  only  idle,  but  tattlers  also  and 
busybodies,  speaking  things  which  they 
ought  not. 

14  I  will  therefore  that  the  younger 
women  marry,  bear  children,  guide  the 
house,  give  none  occasion  to  the  adversary 
to   speak   reproachfully. 

15  For  some  are  already  turned  aside 
after   Satan. 

16  If  any  man  or  woman  that  believeth 
have  widows,  let  them  relieve  them,  and 
let  not  the  church  be  charged ;  that  it 
may  relieve  them  that  are  widows  indeed. 

17  Let  the  elders  that  rule  well  be 
counted  worthy  of  double  honour,  espe- 
cially they  who  labour  in  the  work  and 
doctrine. 

18  For  the  scripture  saith.  Thou  shalt 
not  muzzle  the  ox  that  treadeth  out  the 
corn.  And,  The  labourer  is  worthy  of 
his  reward. 

19  Against  an  elder  receive  not  an  ac- 
cusation, but  before  two  or  three  wit- 
nesses.

Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  the  elect  angels, 
that  thou  observe  these  things  without 
preferring  one  before  another,  doing  noth-

if  she  have  received  to  harbour,  if  she 
have  washed  the  saints'  feet,  if  she  have 
ministered  to  them  that  suffer  tribulation, 
if  she  have  diligently  followed  every  good 
work. 

11  But  the  younger  widows  avoid.  For 
when  they  have  grown  wanton  in  Christ, 
they  will  marry: 

12  Having  damnation,  because  they  have 
made  void  their  first  faith. 

13  And  withal  being  idle  they  learn  to 
go  about  from  house  to  house :  and  are 
not  only  idle,  but  tattlers  also,  and  busy- 
bodies,  speaking  things  which  they  ought 
not. 

14  I  will  therefore  that  the  younger 
should  marry,  bear  children,  be  mistresses 
of  families,  give  no  occasion  to  the  ad- 
versary to  speak  evil. 

15  For  some  are  already  turned  aside 
after  Satan. 

16  If  any  of  the  faithful  have  widows, 
let  him  minister  to  them,  and  let  not  the 
church  be  charged:  that  there  may  be 
sufficient  for  them  that  are  widows  in- 
deed. 

17  Let  the  priests  that  rule  well,  be  es- 
teemed worthy  of  double  honour:  espe- 
cially they  who  labour  in  the  word  and 
doctrine : 

18  For  the  scripture  saith:  Thou  shalt 
not  muzzle  the  ox  that  treadeth  out  the 
corn:  and,  The  labourer  is  worthy  of  his 
reward. 

19  Against  a  priest  receive  not  an  accu- 
sation, but  under  two  or  three  witnesses. 

20  Them  that  sin  reprove  before  all: 
that  the  rest  also  may  have  fear. 

21  I  charge  thee  before  God,  and  Christ 
Jesus,  and  the  elect  angels,  that  thou 
observe  these  things  without  prejudice, 
doing  nothing  by  declining  to  either  side. 

22  Impose  not  hands  lightly  upon  any 
man,  neither  be  partaker  of  other  men's 
sins.    Keep  thyself  chaste.         »

thine  often  infirmities. 

24  Some  men's  sins  are  open  before- 
hand, going  before  to  judgment;  and 
some  men  they  follow  after. 

25  Likewise  also  the  good  works  of 
some  are  manifest  beforehand;  and  they 
that  are  otherwise  cannot  be  hid. 

CHAPTER  6. 

LET  as  many  servants  as  are  under 
the  yoke  count  their  own  masters 
worthy  of  all  honour,  that  the  name  of 
God  and  his  doctrine  be  not  blasphemed. 

2  And  they  that  have  believing  masters, 
let  them  not  despise  them,  because  they 
are  brethren ;  but  rather  do  them  service, 
because  they  are  faithful  and  beloved,  par- 
takers of  the  benefit.  These  things  teach 
and  exhort. 

3  If  any  man  teach  otherwise,  and  con- 
sent not  to  wholesome  words,  even  the 
words  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and 
to  the  doctrine  which  is  according  to 
godliness ; 

4  He  is  proud,  knowing  nothing,  but 
doting  about  questions  and  strifes  of 
words,  whereof  cometh  envy,  strife,  rail- 
ings, evil  surmisings, 

5  Perverse  disputings  of  men  of  corrupt 
minds,  and  destitute  of  the  truth,  sup- 
posing that  gain  is  godliness :  from  such 
withdraw  thyself. 

6  But  godliness  with  contentment  is 
great  gain. 

7  For  we  brought  nothing  into  this 
world,  and  it  is  certain  we  can  carry 
nothing  out. 

8  And  having  food  and  raiment  let  us 
be  therewith  content. 

9  But  they  that  will  be  rich  fall  into 
temptation  and  a  snare,  and  into  many 
foolish  and  hurtful  lusts,  which  drown 
men  in  destruction  and  perdition. 

10  For  the  love  of  money  is  the  root 
of  all  evil :  which  while  some  coveted 
after,  they  have  erred  from  the  faith,  and 
pierced  themselves  through  with  many 
sorrows. 

11  But  thou,  O  man  of  God,  flee  these 
things;  and  follow  after  righteousness, 
godliness,   faith,  love,  patience,  meekness. 

12  Fight  the  good  fight  of  faith,  lay 
hold  on  eternal  life,  whereunto  thou  art 
also  called,  and  hast  professed  a  good 
profession  before  many  witnesses. 

13  I  give  thee  charge  in  the  sight  of 
God,  who  quickeneth  all  things,  and  be- 


ach's sake  and  thine  often  infirmi- 
ties. 24  Some  men's  sins  are  evi- 
dent, going  before  unto  judgement; 
and  some  men  also  they  follow 
after.  25  In  like  manner  also  there 
are  good  works  that  are  evident; 
and  such  as  are  otherwise  cannot 
be  hid.

are  brethren ;  but  let  them  serve 
them  the  rather,  because  they  that 
partake  of  the  benefit  are  believing 
and  beloved.  These  things  teach 
and  exhort. 

3  If  any  man  teacheth  a  different 
doctrine,  and  consenteth  not  to 
sound  words,  even  the  words  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  to  the  doc- 
trine which  is  according  to  godli- 
ness :  4  he  is  puffed  up,  knowing 
nothing,  but  doting  about  question-

surmisings,  5  wranglings  of  men

with  contentment  is  great  gain :  7 
for  we  brought  nothing  into  the 
world,  for  neither  can  we  carry  any-

tent. 9  But  they  that  desire  to  be 
rich  fall  into  a  temptation  and  a 
snare  and  many  foolish  and  hurtful

struction and  perdition.  10  For  the

of  evil :  which  some  reaching  after 
have  been  led  astray  from  the 
faith,  and  have  pierced  themselves

CHAPTER  6. 

WHOSOEVER  are  servants  under  the 
yoke,  let  them  count  their  masters 
worthy  of  all  honour;  lest  the  name  of

is  according  to  godliness, 

4  He  is  proud,  knowing  nothing,  but 
sick  about  questions  and  strifes  of  words ; 
from  which  arise  envies,  contentions, 
blasphemies,  evil  suspicions, 

5  Conflicts  of  men  corrupted  in  mind, 
and  who  are  destitute  of  the  truth,  sup- 
posing gain  to  be  godliness. 

6  But  godliness  with  contentment  is 
great  gain. 

7  For  we  brought  nothing  into  this 
world :  and  certainly  we  can  carry  noth-

8  But  having  food,  and  wherewith  to 
be  covered,  with  these  we  are  content. 

9  For  they  that  will  become  rich,  fall 
into  temptation,  and  into  the  snare  of 
the  devil,  and  into  many  unprofitable  and 
hurtful  desires,  which  drown  men  into

of  all  evils ;  which  some  coveting  have

which  are  in  Asia  be  turned  away  from

mogenes.

of  Onesiphorus;  for  he  oft  refreshed  me, 
and  was  not  ashamed  of  my  chain : 

17  But,  when  he  was  in  Rome,  he 
sought  me  out  very  diligently,  and  found 
me. 

18  The  Lord  grant  unto  him  that  he 
may  find  mercy  of  the  Lord  in  that  day:

calling,  not  according  to  our  works,

Christ  Jesus  before  times  eternal,

CHAPTER  2. 

THOU  therefore,  my  son,  be  strong  in 
the  grace  that  is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

2  And  the  things  that  thou  hast  heard 
of  me  among  many  witnesses,  the  same 
commit  thou  to  faithful  men,  who  shall 
be  able  to  teach  others  also. 

3  Thou  therefore  endure  hardness,  as 
a  good  soldier  of  Jesus  Christ. 

4  No  man  that  warreth  entangleth  him- 
self with  the  affairs  of  this  life;  that  he 
may  please  him  who  hath  chosen  him  to 
be  a  soldier. 

5  And  if  a  man  also  strive  for  mas- 
teries, yet  is  he  not  crowned,  except  he 
strive   lawfully. 

6  The  husbandman  that  laboureth  must 
be  first  partaker  of  the  fruits. 

7  Consider  what  I  say;  and  the  Lord 
give  thee  understanding  in  all  things. 

8  Remember  that  Jesus  Christ  of  the 
seed  of  David  was  raised  from  the  dead 
according  to  my  gospel : 

9  Wherein  I  suffer  trouble,  as  an  evil 
doer,  even  unto  bonds;  but  the  word  of 
God  is  not  bound. 

10  Therefore  I  endure  all  things  for 
the  elect's  sakes,  that  they  may  also  obtain 
the  salvation  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus 
with  eternal  glory. 

11  It  is  a  faithful  saying:  For  if  we 
be  dead  with  him,  we  shall  also  live  with 
him: 

12  If  we  suffer,  we  shall  also  reign  with 
him:  if  we  deny  him,  he  also  will  deny 
us: 

13  If  we  believe  not,  yet  he  abideth 
faithful:  he  cannot  deny  himself. 

14  Of  these  things  put  them  in  remem- 
brance, charging  them  before  the  Lord 
that  they  strive  not  about  words  to  no 
profit,  but  to  the  subverting  of  the 
hearers. 

15  Study  to  shew  thyself  approved  unto 
God,  a  workman  that  needeth  not  to  be 
ashamed,  rightly  dividing  the  word  of 
truth. 

16  But  shun  profane  and  vain  bab- 
blings: for  they  will  increase  unto  more 
ungodliness. 

17  And  their  word  will  eat  as  doth

Philetus ; 

18  Who  concerning  the  truth  have 
erred,  saying  that  the  resurrection  is  past 
already;  and  overthrow  the  faith  of  some.

member Jesus  Christ,  risen  from 
the  dead,  of  the  seed  of  David,  ac- 
cording to  my  gospel :  9  wherein  I 
suffer  hardship  unto  bonds,  as  a 
malefactor;  but  the  word  of  God  is 
not  bound.  10  Therefore  I  endure  all 
things  for  the  elect's  sake,  that  they

if  we  shall  deny  him,  he  also  will 
deny  us:  13  if  we  are  faithless,  he 
abideth  faithful ;  for  he  cannot  deny 
hirnself.

knoweth  them  that  are  his.  And,  Let

20  But  in  a  great  house  there  are  not 
only  vessels  of  gold  and  of  silver,  but  also 
of  wood  and  of  earth;  and  some  to  hon- 
our, and  some  to  dishonour. 

21  If  a  man  therefore  purge  himself 
from  these,  he  shall  be  a  vessel  unto 
honour,  sanctified,  and  meet  for  the  mas- 
ter's use,  and  prepared  unto  every  good 
work. 

22  Flee  also  youthful  lusts:  but  follow 
righteousness,  faith,  charity,  peace,  with 
them  that  call  on  the  Lord  out  of  a  pure 
heart. 

2$  But  foolish  and  unlearned  questions 
avoid,  knowing  that  they  do  gender 
strifes. 

24  And  the  servant  of  the  Lord  must 
not  strive;  but  be  gentle  unto  all  men, 
apt  to  teach,  patient, 

25  In  meekness  instructing  those  that 
oppose  themselves ;  if  God  peradventure 
will  give  them  repentance  to  the  acknowl- 
edging of  the  truth; 

26  And  that  they  may  recover  them- 
selves out  of  the  snare  of  the  devil,  who 
are  taken  captive  by  him  at  his  will. 

CHAPTER  3. 

THIS  know  also,  that  in  the  last  days 
perilous  times  shall  come. 

2  For  men  shall  be  lovers  of  their  own 
selves,  covetous,  boasters,  proud,  blas- 
phemers, disobedient  to  parents,  unthank- 
ful, unholy, 

3  Without  natural  affection,  truce- 
breakers,  false  accusers,  incontinent, 
fierce,  despisers  of  those  that  are  good, 

4  Traitors,  heady,  highminded,  lovers 
of  pleasures  more  than  lovers  of  God; 

5  Having  a  form  of  godliness,  but 
denying  the  power  thereof:  from  such 
turn  away. 

6  For  of  this  sort  are  they  which  creep 
into  houses,  and  lead  captive  silly  women 
laden  with  sins,  led  away  with  divers  lusts, 

7  Ever  learning,  and  never  ■  able  to 
come  to  the  knowledge  of  the  truth. 

8  Now  as  Jannes  and  Jambres  with- 
stood Moses,  so  do  these  also  resist  the 
truth :  men  of  corrupt  minds,  reprobate

If  a  man  therefore  purge  himself 
from  these,  he  shall  be  a  vessel  unto 
honour,  sanctified,  meet  for  the  mas-

servant  must  not  strive,  but  be  gen- 
tle towards  all,  apt  to  teach,  for- 
bearing, 25  in  meekness  correcting

God.

2.Z  And  avoid  foolish  and  unlearned 
questions,  knowing  that  they  beget 
strifes. 

24  But  the  servant  of  the  Lord  must 
not  wrangle:  but  be  mild  towards  all 
men,  apt  to  teach,  patient, 

25  With  modesty  admonishing  them 
that  resist  the  truth :  if  peradventure  God 
may  give  them  repentance  to  know  the 
truth, 

26  And  they  may  recover  themselves 
from  the  snares  of  the  devil,  by  whom 
they  are  held  captive  at  his  will. 

CHAPTER  3. 

KNOW  also  this,  that,  in  the  last  days, 
shall  come  dangerous  times. 

2  Men  shall  be  lovers  of  themselves, 
covetous,  haughty,  proud,  blasphemers, 
disobedient  to  parents,  ungrateful, 
wicked, 

3  Without  affection,  without  peace, 
slanderers,  incontinent,  unmerciful,  with- 
out kindness, 

4  Traitors,  stubborn,  puffed  up,  and 
lovers  of  pleasures  more  than  of  God : 

5  Having  an  appearance  indeed  of  god- 
liness, but  denying .  the  power  thereof. 
Now  these  avoid. 

6  For  of  these  sort  are  they  who  creep 
into  houses,  and  lead  captive  silly  women 
laden  with  sins,  who  are  led  away  with 
divers  desires : 

7  Ever  learning,  and  never  attaining  to 
the  knowledge  of  the  truth. 

8  Now  as  Jannes  and  Mambres  resisted 
Moses,  so  these  also  resist  the  truth,  men 
corrupted  in  mind,  reprobate  concerning 
the  faith.

and  the  time  of  my  departure  is  at  hand.

committed  unto  me  according  to  the  com-

4  To  Titus,  mine  own  son  after  the 
common  faith  :  Grace,  mercy,  and  peace, 
from  God  the  Father  and  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ  our  Saviour. 

5  For  this  cause  left  I  thee  in  Crete, 
that  thou  shouldest  set  in  order  the 
things  that  are  wanting,  and  ordain  elders 
in  every  city,  as  I  had  appointed  thee : 

6  If  any  be  blameless,  the  husband  of 
one  wife,  having  faithful  children  not 
accused  of  riot  or  unruly. 

7  For  a  bishop  must  be  blameless,  as 
the  steward  of  God ;  not  self-willed,  not 
soon  angry,  not  given  to  wine,  no  striker, 
not  given  to  filthy  lucre ; 

8  But  a  lover  of  hospitality,  a  lover  of 
good  men,  sober,  just,  holy,  temperate; 

9  Holding  fast  the  faithful  word  as  he 
hath  been  taught,  that  he  may  be  able  by 
sound  doctrine  both  to  exhort  and  to  con- 
vince the  gainsayers. 

ID  For  there  are  many  unruly  and  vain 
talkers  and  deceivers,  specially  they  of  the 
circumcision : 

11  Whose  mouths  must  be  stopped,  who 
subvert  whole  houses,  teaching  things 
which  they  ought  not,  for  filthy  lucre's 
sake. 

12  One  of  themselves,  even  a  prophet  of 
their  own,  said,  The  Cretians  are  alway 
liars,  evil  beasts,  slow  bellies. 

13  This  witness  is  true.  Wherefore 
rebuke  them  sharply,  that  they  may  be 
sound  in  the  faith; 

14  Not  giving  heed  to  Jewish  fables, 
and  commandments  of  men,  that  turn 
from  the  truth. 

15  Unto  the  pure  all  things  are  pure: 
but  unto  them  that  are  defiled  and  unbe- 
lieving is  nothing  pure ;  but  even  their 
mind  and  conscience  is  defiled. 

16  They  profess  that  they  know  God; 
but  in  works  they  deny  him,  being  abom- 
inable, and  disobedient,  and  unto  every 
good  work  reprobate.

cording to  the  teaching,  that  he 
may  be  able  both  to  exhort  in  the

speaic  evil  of  no  man,  not  to  be 
contentious,  to  be  gentle,  showing 
all  meekness  toward  all  men.  3 
For  we  also  once  were  foolish,  dis- 
obedient, deceived,  serving  divers 
lusts  and  pleasures,  living  in  mal- 
ice and  envy,  hateful,  hating  one 
another.  4  But  when  the  kind- 
ness of  God  our  Saviour,  and  his 
love  toward  man,  appeared,  5  not 
by    works    done    in    righteousness, 


holy  attire,  not  false  accusers,  not  given 
to  much  wine,  teaching  well : 

4  That  they  may  teach  the  young 
women  to  be  wise,  to  love  their  husbands, 
to  love  their  children, 

5  To  be  discreet,  chaste,  sober,  having 
a  care  of  the  house,  gentle,  obedient  to 
their  husbands,  that  the  word  of  God  be 
not  blasphemed. 

6  Young  men,  in  like  manner,  exhort 
that  they  be  sober. 

7  In  all  things  shew  thyself  an  example 
of  good  works,  in  doctrine,  in  integrity, 
in  gravity, 

8  The  sound  word  that  can  not  be 
blamed :  that  he,  who  is  on  the  contrary 
part,  may  be  afraid,  having  no  evil  to 
say  of  us. 

9  Exhort  servants  to  be  obedient  to 
their  masters,  in  all  things  pleasing,  not 
gainsaying : 

10  Not  defrauding,  but  in  all  things 
shewing  good  fidelity,  that  they  may 
adorn  the  doctrine  of  God  our  Saviour 
in  all  things: 

11  For  the  grace  of  God  our  Saviour 
hath  appeared  to  all  men; 

12  Instructing  us,  that,  denying  ungod- 
liness and  worldly  desires,  we  should  live 
soberly,  and  justly,  and  godly  in  this 
world, 

13  Looking  for  the  blessed  hope  and 
coming  of  the  glory  of  the  great  God  and 
our  Saviour  Jesus  Christ, 

14  Who  gave  himself  for  us,  that  he 
might  redeem  us  from  all  iniquity,  and 
might  cleanse  to  himself  a  people  accept- 
able, a  pursuer  of  good  works. 

15  These  things  speak,  and  exhort  and 
rebuke  with  all  authority.  Let  no  man 
despise  thee. 

CHAPTER  3. 

ADMONISH   them   to   be   subject  to 
princes   and   powers,   to    obey   at   a 
word,  to  be  ready  to  every  good  work. 

2  To  speak  evil  of  no  man,  not  to  be 
litigious,  but  gentle:  shewing  all  mild- 
ness towards  all  men. 

3  For  we  ourselves  also  were  some  time 
unwise,  incredulous,  erring,  slaves  to 
divers  desires  and  pleasures,  living  in 
malice  and  envy,  hateful,  and  hating  one 
another. 

4  But  when  the  goodness  and  kindness 
of  God  our  Saviour  appeared: 

5  Not  by  the  works  of  justice,  which  we 
have  done,  but  according  to  his  mercy,

may  become  effectual  by  the  acknowl-

7  For  we  have  great  joy  and  con-

of  the  saints  are  refreshed  by  thee,

is  convenient, 

9  Yet  for  love's  sake  I  rather  beseech 
thee,  being  such  an  one  as  Paul  the  aged, 
and  now  also  a  prisoner  of  Jesus  Christ.

bowels : 

13  Whom  I  would  have  retained  with 
me,  that  in  thy  stead  he  might  have  min- 
istered unto  me  in  the  bonds  of  the  gos- 
pel : 

14  But  without  thy  mind  would  I  do 
nothing;  that  thy  benefit  should  not  be 
as  it  were  of  necessity,  but  willingly. 

15  For  perhaps  he  therefore  departed 
for  a  season,  that  thou  shouldest  receive 
him  for  ever; 

16  Not  now  as  a  servant,  but  above 
a  servant,  a  brother  beloved,  specially  to 
me,  but  how  much  more  unto  thee,  both 
in  the  flesh,  and  in  the  Lord? 

17  If  thou  count  me  therefore  a  part- 
ner, receive  him  as  myself. 

18  If  he  hath  wronged  thee,  or  oweth 
thee  ought,  put  that  on  mine  account; 

19  I  Paul  have  written  it  with  mine  own 
hand,  I  will  repay  it:  albeit  I  do  not  say 
to  thee  how  thou  owest  unto  me  even

20  Yea,  brother,  let  me  have  joy  of

CHAPTER  I. 

f^  OD,  who  at  sundry  times  and  in 
\JX  divers  manners  spake  in  time  past 
unto  the  fathers  by  the  prophets, 

2  Hath  in  these  last  days  spoken  unto 
us  by  his  Son,  whom  he  hath  appointed 
heir  of  all  things,  by  whom  also  he  made 
the  worlds; 

3  Who  being  the  brightness  of  his 
glory,  and  the  express  image  of  his  per- 
son, and  upholding  all  things  by  the  word 
of  his  power,  when  he  had  by  himself 
purged  our  sins,  sat  down  on  the  right 
hand   of  the   Majesty  on   high; 

4  Being  made  so  much  better  than  the 
angels,  as  he  hath  by  inheritance  obtained 
a  more  excellent  name  than  they. 

5  For  unto  which  of  the  angels  said  he 
at  any  time,  Thou  art  my  Son,  this  day 
have  I  begotten  thee?  And  again,  I  will 
be  to  him  a  Father,  and  he  shall  be  to 
me  a  Son? 

6  And  again,  when  he  bringeth  in  the 
firstbegotten  into  the  world,  he  saith.  And 
let  all  the  angels  of  God  worship  him. 

7  And  of  the  angels  he  saith.  Who 
maketh  his  angels  spirits,  and  his  min- 
isters a  flame  of  fire. 

8  But  unto  the  Son  he  saith,  Thy 
throne,  O  God,  is  for  ever  and  ever :  a 
sceptre  of  righteousness  is  the  sceptre  of 
thy  kingdom. 

9  Thou  hast  loved  righteousness,  and 
hated  iniquity;  therefore  God,  even  thy 
God,  hath  anointed  thee  with  the  oil  of 
gladness  above  thy  fellows. 

10  And,  Thou,  Lord,  in  the  beginning 
hast  laid  the  foundation  of  the  earth ;  and 
the  heavens  are  the  works  of  thine  hands : 

11  They  shall  perish;  but  thou  remain- 
est;  and  they  all  shall  wax  old  as  doth 
a  garment ;

IvX  spoken  unto  the  fathers  in

end  of  these  days  spoken  unto  us

of  all  things,  through  whom  also 
he  made  the  worlds ;  3  who  being

CHAPTER  I. 

aOD,    who,    at    sundry   times   and    in 
divers  manners,  spoke  in  times  past 
to  the  fathers  by  the  prophets,  last  of  all, 

2  In  these  days  hath  spoken  to  us  by 
his  Son,  whom  he  hath  appointed  heir  of 
all  things,  by  whom  also  he  made  the 
world. 

3  Who  being  the  brightness  of  his 
glory,  and  the  figure  of  his  substance,  and 
upholding  all  things  by  the  word  of  his 
power,  making  purgation  of  sins,  sitteth 
on  the  right  hand  of  the  majesty  on  high. 

4  Being  made  so  much  better  than  the

cellent name  than  they.

day  have  I  begotten  thee?  And  again,  / 
will  be  to  him  a  Father,  and  he  shall  be  to

6  And  again,  when  he  bringeth  in  the 
first  begotten  into  the  world,  he  saith: 
And  let  all  the  angels  of  God  adore  him.

is  the  sceptre  of  thy  kingdom.

tinue: and  they  shall  all  grow  old  as  a

THEREFORE  we  ought  to  give  the 
more  earnest  heed  to  the  things  which 
we  have  heard,  lest  at  any  time  we  should 
let  them  slip. 

2  For  if  the  word  spoken  by  angels  was 
stedfast,  and  every  transgression  and  dis- 
obedience received  a  just  recompence  of 
reward; 

3  How  shall  we  escape,  if  we  neglect  so 
great  salvation ;  which  at  the  first  began

with  signs  and  wonders,  and  with  divers 
miracles,  and  gifts  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 
according  to  his  own  will  ? 

5  For  unto  the  angels  hath  he  not  put 
in  subjection  the  world  to  come,  whereof 
we   speak. 

6  But  one  in  a  certain  place  testified, 
saying.  What  is  man,  that  thou  art  mindful 
of  him?  or  the  son  of  man,  that  thou 
visitest  him? 

7  Thou  madest  him  a  little  lower  than

glory  and  honour,  and  didst  set  him  over 
the  works  of  thy  hands : 

8  Thou  hast  put  all  things  in  subjection 
under  his  feet.  For  in  that  he  put  all 
in  subjection  under  him,  he  left  nothing 
that  is  not  put  under  him.  But  now  we 
see  not  yet  all  things  put  under  him,

them  up.

footstool  of  thy  feet?

the  sake  of  them  that  shall  inherit 
salvation?

transgression  and  disobedience  re- 
ceived a  just  recompense  of  re- 
ward ;  3  how  shall  we  escape,  if  we

manifold  powers,  and  by  gifts  of

own  will.

became  steadfast,  and  every  trans-

recompense  of  reward : 

3  How  shall  we  escape  if  we  neglect

and  distributions  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  ac- 
cording to  his  own  will. 

5  For  God  hath  not  subjected  unto  an- 
gels the  world  to  come,  whereof  we  speak. 

6  But  one  in  a  certain  place  hath  testi- 
fied, saying :  What  is  man,  that  thou  art 
mindful  of  him:  or  the  son  of  man,  that 
thou  visitest  himf 

7  Thou  hast  made  him  a  little  lower

yet  all  things  subject  to  him. 

9  But  we  see  Jesus,  who  was  made  a 
little  lower  than  the  angels,  for  the  suf- 


4i6      AUTHORIZED 


HEBREWS,  3. 


REVISED 


little  lower  than  the  angels  for  the  suf- 
fering of  death,  crowned  with  glory  and 
honour;  that  he  by  the  grace  of  God 
should  taste  death  for  every  man. 

10  For  it  became  him,  for  whom  are 
all  things,  and  by  whom  are  all  things,  in 
bringing  many  sons  unto  glory,  to  make 
the  captain  of  their  salvation  perfect 
through  sufferings. 

11  For  both  he  that  sanctifieth  and  they 
who  are  sanctified  are  all  of  one:  for 
which  cause  he  is  not  ashamed  to  call 
them  brethren, 

12  Saying,  I  will  declare  thy  name  unto 
my  brethren,  in  the  midst  of  the  church 
will  I  sing  praise  unto  thee. 

13  And  again,  I  will  put  my  trust  in 
him.  And  again,  Behold  I  and  the  chil- 
dren which  God  hath  given  me. 

14  Forasmuch  then  as  the  children  are 
partakers  of  flesh  and  blood,  he  also  him- 
self likewise  took  part  of  the  same;  that 
through  death  he  might  destroy  him  that 
had  the  power  of  death,  that  is,  the  devil ; 

15  And  deliver  them  who  through  fear 
of  death  were  all  their  lifetime  subject 
to  bondage. 

16  For  verily  he  took  not  on  him  the 
nature  of  angels;  but  he  took  on  him  the 
seed  of  Abraham. 

17  Wherefore  in  all  things  it  behoved 
him  to  be  made  like  unto  his  brethren, 
that  he  might  be  a  merciful  and  faithful 
high  priest  in  things  pertaining  to  God,  to 
make  reconciliation  for  the  sins  of  the 
people. 

18  For  in  that  he  himself  hath  suffered 
being  tempted,  he  is  able  to  succour  them 
that  are  tempted. 


CHAPTER  3. 

WHEREFORE,  holy  brethren,  par- 
takers of  the  heavenly  calling,  con- 
sider the  Apostle  and  High  Priest  of  our 
profession,  Christ  Jesus ; 

2  Who  was  faithful  to  him  that  ap- 
pointed him,  as  also  Moses  was  faithful 
in  all  his  house. 


8  Thou  didst  put  all  things  in  sub- 
jection under  his  feet. 
For  in  that  he  subjected  all  things 
unto  him,  he  left  nothing  that  is 
not  subject  to  him.  But  now  we 
see  not  yet  all  things  subjected  to 
him.  9  But  we  behold  him  who 
hath  been  made  a  little  lower  than 
the  angels,  even  Jesus,  because  of 
the  suffering  of  death  crowned 
with  glory  and  honour,  that  by  the 
grace  of  God  he  should  taste  death 
for  every  man.  10  For  it  became 
him,  for  whom  are  all  things,  and 
through  whom  are  all  things,  in 
bringing  many  sons  unto  glory,  to 
make  the  author  of  their  salvation 
perfect  through  sufferings.  11  For 
both  he  that  sanctifieth  and  they  that 
are  sanctified  are  all  of  one:  for 
which  cause  he  is  not  ashamed  to 
call  them  brethren,  12  saying, 

I  will  declare  thy  name  unto  my 
brethren, 

In  the  midst  of  the  congrega- 
tion w/11  I  sing  thy  praise, 
13  And  again,  I  will  put  my  trust 
in  him.  And  again,  Behold,  I  and 
the  children  which  God  hath  given 
me.  14  Since  then  the  children  are 
sharers  in  flesh  and  blood,  he  also 
himself  in  like  manner  partook  of 
the  sarrie;  that  through  death  he 
might  bring  to  nought  him  that  had 
the  power  of  death,  that  is,  the 
devil;  15  and  might  deliver  all  them 
who  through  fear  of  death  were  all 
their  lifetime  subject  to  bondage. 
16  For  verily  not  of  angels  doth 
he  take  hold,  but  he  taketh  hold 
of  the  seed  of  Abraham.  17 
Wherefore  it  behoved  him  in  all

For  in  that  he  subjected  all  things 
unto  him,  he  left  nothing  that  is 
not  subject  to  him.  But  now  we 
see  not  yet  all  things  subjected  to 
him.  9  But  we  behold  him  who 
hath  been  made  a  little  lower 
than  the  angels,  even  Jesus,  be- 
cause of  the  suffering  of  death 
crowned  with  glory  and  honor, 
that  by  the  grace  of  God  he 
should  taste  of  death  for  every 
man.  10  For  it  became  him,  for 
whom  are  all  things,  and  through 
whom  are  all  things,  in  bringing 
many  sons  unto  glory,  to  make  the 
author  of  their  salvation  per- 
fect through  sufferings.  11  For 
both  he  that  sanctifieth  and  they 
that  are  sanctified  are  all  of 
one:  for  which  cause  he  is  not 
ashamed  to  call  them  brethren,  12 
saying, 

I  will  declare  thy  name  unto  my 
brethren. 

In  the  midst  of  the  congregation 
will  I  sing  thy  praise. 
13  And  again,  I  will  put  my  trust 
in  him.  And  again,  Behold,  I  and 
the  children  whom  God  hath  given 
me.  14  Since  then  the  children 
are  sharers  in  flesh  and  blood,  he 
also  himself  in  like  manner  par- 
took of  the  same;  that  through 
death  he  might  bring  to  nought 
him  that  had  the  power  of  death, 
that  is,  the  devil;  15  and  might 
deliver  all  them  who  through  fear 
of  death  were  all  their  lifetime  sub- 
ject to  bondage.  16  For  verily 
not  to  angels  doth  he  give  help, 
but  he  giveth  help  to  the  seed  of 
Abraham.  17  Wherefore  it  be- 
hooved him  in  all  things  to  be 
made  like  unto  his  brethren,  that 
he  might  become  a  merciful  and 
faithful  high  priest  in  things 
pertaining  to  God,  to  make  pro- 
pitiation for  the  sins  of  the  people. 
18  For  in  that  he  himself  hath 
suffered  being  tempted,  he  is  able 
to  succor  them  that  are  tempted. 

TXTHEREFORE,  holy  brethren, 
3  ▼  ▼  partakers  of  a  heavenly 
calling,  consider  the  Apostle  and 
High  Priest  of  our  confession, 
even  Jesus;  2  who  was  faithful  to 
him  that  appointed  him,  as  also 
was  Moses  in  all  his  house.    3  For 


fering  of  death,  crowned  with  glory  and 
honour:  that,  through  the  grace  of  God, 
he  might  taste  death  for  all. 

10  For  it  became  him,  for  whom  are  all 
things,  and  by  whom  are  all  things,  who 
had  brought' many  children  into  glory,  to 
perfect  the  author  of  their  salvation,  by 
his  passion. 

11  For  both  he  that  sanctifieth,  and  they 
who  are  sanctified,  are  all  of  one.  For 
which  cause  he  is  not  ashamed  to  call 
them  brethren,  saying: 

12  /  will  declare  thy  name  to  my  breth- 
ren; in  the  midst  of  the  church  will  I 
praise  thee. 

13  And  again:  /  will  put  my  ttust  in 
him.  And  again:  Behold  I  and  my  chil- 
dren, whom  God  hath  given  me. 

14  Therefore  because  the  children  are 
partakers  of  flesh  and  blood,  he  also  him- 
self in  like  manner  hath  been  partaker 
of  the  same:  that,  through  death,  he 
might  destroy  him  who  had  the  empire 
of  death,  that  is  to  say,  the  devil: 

15  And  might  deliver  them,  who 
through  the  fear  of  death  were  all  their 
lifetime  subject  to  servitude. 

16  For  no  where  doth  he  take  hold  of 
the  angels:  but  of  the  seed  of  Abraham 
he  taketh  hold. 

17  Wherefore  it  behoved  him  in  all 
things  to  be  made  like  unto  his  brethren, 
that  he  might  become  a  merciful  and 
faithful  high  priest  before  God,  that  he 
might  be  a  propitiation  for  the  sins  of 
the  people. 

18  For  in  that,  wherein  he  himself  hath 
suffered  and  been  tempted,  he  is  able  to 
succour  them  also  that  are  tempted.

as  was  also  Moses  in  all  his  house. 

3  For  this  man  was  counted  worthy  of

3  For  this  man  was  counted  worthy  of 
more  glory  than  Moses,  inasmuch  as  he 
who  hath  builded  the  house  hath  more 
honour  than  the  house. 

4  For  every  house  is  builded  by  some 
man;  but  he  that  built  all  things  is  God. 

5  And  Moses  verily  was  faithful  in  all 
his  house,  as  a  servant,  for  a  testimony 
of  those  things  which  were  to  be  spoken 
after; 

6  But  Christ  as  a  son  over  his  own 
house;  whose  house  are  we,  if  we  hold 
fast  the  confidence  and  the  rejoicing  of 
the  hope  firm  unto  the  end. 

7  Wherefore  (as  the  Holy  Ghost  saith, 
To  day  if  ye  will  hear  his  voice, 

8  Harden  not  your  hearts,  as  in  the 
provocation,  in  the  day  of  temptation  in 
the  wilderness : 

9  When  your  fathers  tempted  me, 
proved  me,  and  saw  my  works  forty  years. 

10  Wherefore  I  was  grieved  with  that 
generation,  and  said,  They  do  alway  err 
in  their  heart;  and  they  have  not  known 
my  ways. 

11  So  I  sware  in  my  wrath.  They  shall 
not   enter  into  my   rest.) 

12  Take  heed,  brethren,  lest  there  be 
in  any  of  you  an  evil  heart  of  unbelief, 
in  departing  from  the  living  God. 

13  But  exhort  one  another  daily,  while 
it  is  called  To  day ;  lest  any  of  you  be 
hardened  through  the  deceitfulness  of  sin. 

14  For  we  are  made  partakers  of  Christ, 
if  we  hold  the  beginning  of  our  con- 
fidence stedfast  unto  the  end; 

15  While  it  is  said,  To  day  if  ye  will 
hear  his  voice,  harden  not  your  hearts,  as 
in  the  provocation. 

16  For  some,  when  they  had  heard,  did 
provoke :  howbeit  not  all  that  came  out  of 
Egypt  by  Moses. 

17  But  with  whom  was  he  grieved  forty 
years?  was  it  not  with  them  that  had 
sinned,  whose  carcases  fell  in  the  wilder- 
ness? 

18  And  to  whom  sware  he  that  they 
should  not  enter  into  his  rest,  but  to 
them  that  believed  not? 

19  So  we  see  that  they  could  not  enter 
in  because  of  unbelief.

whose  house  are  we,  if  we  hold 
fast  our  boldness  and  the  glorying 
of  our  hope  firm  unto  the  end. 
7  Wherefore,  even  as  the  Holy 
Ghost    saith, 

To-day  if  ye  shall  hear  his  voice, 

8  Harden  not  your  hearts,  as  in  the 

provocation. 
Like  as  in  the  day  of  the  tempta- 
tion in  the  wilderness, 

9  Wherewith   your    fathers   tempt- 

ed me  by  proving  me, 
And  saw  my  works  forty  years. 

10  Wherefore  I  was  displeased  with 

this  generation, 
And  said.  They  do  alway  err  in 

their  heart : 
But  they  did  not  know  my  ways ; 

11  As  I  sware  in  my  wrath, 
They  shall  not  enter  into  my  rest. 

12  Take  heed,  brethren,  lest  haply 
there  shall  be  in  any  one  of  you 
an  evil  heart  of  unbelief,  in  falling 
away  from  the  living  God :  13  but 
exhort  one  another  day  by  day,  so 
long  as  it  is  called  To-day;  lest  any 
one  of  you  be  hardened  by  the  de- 
ceitfulness of  sin :  14  for  we  are  be- 
come partakers  of  Christ,  if  we 
hold  fast  the  beginning  of  our  con- 
fidence firm  unto  the  end:  15  while 
it  is  said, 

To-day  if  ye  shall  hear  his  voice, 
Harden   not  your   hearts,   as   in 
the  provocation. 

16  For  who,  when  they  heard,  did 
provoke?  nay,  did  not  all  they 
that  came  out  of  Egypt  by  Moses? 

17  And  with  whom  was  he  dis- 
pleased forty  years?  was  it  not  with 
them  that  sihned,  whose  carcases 
fell  in  the  wilderness?  18  And  to 
whom  sware  he  that  they  should 
not  enter  into  his  rest,  but  to  them 
that  were  disobedient?  19  And  we

LET  us  therefore  fear,  lest,  a  promise 
being  left  us  of  entering  into  his  rest, 
any  of  you  should  seem  to  come  short 
of  it. 

2  For  unto  us  was  the  gospel  preached, 
as  well  as  unto  them :  but  the  word 
preached  did  not  profit  them,  not  being 
mixed  with  faith  in  them  that  heard  it. 

3  For  we  which  have  believed  do  enter 
into  rest,  as  he  said,  As  I  have  sworn 
in  my  wrath,  if  they  shall  enter  into  my 
rest :  although  the  works  were  finished 
from  the  foundation  of  the  world. 

4  For  he  spake  in  a  certain  place  of 
the  seventh  day  on  this  wise,  And  God 
did  rest  the  seventh  day  from  all  his 
works. 

5  And  in  this  place  again,  If  they  shall 
enter  into  my  rest. 

6  Seeing  therefore  it  remaineth  that 
some  must  enter  therein,  and  they  to 
whom  it  was  first  preached  entered  not 
in  because  of  unbelief: 

7  Again,  he  limiteth  a  certain  day, 
saying  in  David,  To  day,  after  so  long 
a  time;  as  it  is  said.  To  day  if  ye  will 
hear  his  voice,  harden  not  your  hearts. 

8  For  if  Jesus  had  given  them  rest, 
then  would  he  not  afterward  have  spoken 
of  another  day. 

9  There  remaineth  therefore  a  rest  to 
the  people  of  God. 

10  For  he  that  is  entered  into  his  rest, 
he  also  hath  ceased  from  his  own  works, 
as  God  did  from  his. 

11  Let  us  labour  therefore  to  enter  into 
that  rest,  lest  any  man  fall  after  the  same 
example  of  unbelief. 

12  For  the  word  of  God  is  quick,  and 
powerful,  and  sharper  than  any  twoedged 
sword,  piercing  even  to  the  dividing 
asunder  of  soul  and  spirit,  and  of  the 
joints  and  marrow,  and  is  a  discerner  of 
the  thoughts  and  intents  of  the  heart. 

13  Neither  is  there  any  creature  that  is 
nbt  manifest  in  his  sight:  but  all  things 
are  naked  and  opened  unto  the  eyes  of 
him  with  whom  we  have  to  do.

high  priest,  that  is  passed  into  the  heav- 
ens, Jesus  the  Son  of  God,  let  us  hold 
fast  our  profession. 

15  For  we  have  not  an  high  priest  which 
cannot  be  touched  with  the  feeling  of  our 
infirmities;  but  was  in  all  points  tempted 
like  as  we  are,  yet  without  sin.

good  tidings  preached  unto  us,  even 
as  also  they :  but  the  word  of  hear-

were  before  preached  failed  to  enter 
in  because  of  disobedience,  7  he 
again  defineth  a  certain  day,  saying 
in  David,  after  so  long  a  time,  To- 
day, as  it  hath  been  before  said. 
To-day  if  ye  shall  hear  his  voice, 
Harden  not  your  hearts. 
8  For  if  Joshua  had  given  them 
rest,  he  would  not  have  spoken 
afterward  of  another  day.  9  There 
remaineth  therefore  a  sabbath  rest 
for  the  people  of  God.  10  For  he 
that  is  entered  into  his  rest  hath 
himself  also  rested  from  his  works, 
as  God  did  from  his.  11  Let  us 
therefore  give  diligence  to  enter  into 
that  rest,  that  no  man  fall  after 
the  same  example  of  disobedience.

Harden  not  your  hearts. 

8  For  if  Joshua  had  given  them 
rest,  he  would  not  have  spoken 
afterward  of  another  day.  9  There 
remaineth  therefore  a  sabbath  rest 
for  the  people  of  God.  10  For  he 
that  is  entered  into  his  rest  hath 
himself  also  rested  from  his  works, 
as  God  did  from  his.  11  Let  us 
therefore  give  diligence  to  enter 
into  that  rest,  that  no  man  fall 
after  the  same  example  of  dis- 
obedience. 12  For  the  word  of 
God  is  living,  and  active,  and 
sharper  than  any  two-edged  sword, 
and  piercing  even  to  the  dividing 
of  soul  and  spirit,  of  both  joints 
and  marrow,  and  quick  to  discern 
the  thoughts  and  intents  of  the 
heart.  13  And  there  is  no  crea- 
ture that  is  not  manifest  in  his 
sight:  but  all  things  are  naked 
and  laid  open  before  the  eyes  of 
him  with  whom  we  have  to  do. 

14    Having    then    a    great    high 


CHAPTER  4. 

LET  us  fear  therefore  lest  the  promise 
being  left  of  entering  into  his  rest, 
any  of  you  should  be  thought  to  be 
wanting. 

2  For  unto  us  also  it  hath  been  declared, 
in  like  manner  as  unto  them.  But  the 
word  of  hearing  did  not  profit  them,  not 
being  mixed  with  faith  of  those  things 
they  heard. 

3  For  we,  who  have  believed,  shall  enter 
into  rest ;  as  he  said :  As  I  have  sworn  in 
my  wrath;  If  they  shall  enter  into  my 
rest;  and  this  indeed  when  the  works 
from  the  foundation  of  the  world  were 
finished. 

4  For  in  a  certain  place  he  spoke  of  the 
seventh  day  thus:  And  God  rested  the 
seventh  day  from  all  his  works. 

5  And  in  this  place  again :  //  they  shall 
enter  into  my  rest. 

6  Seeing  then  it  remaineth  that  some 
are  to  enter  into  it,  and  they,  to  whom  it 
was  first  preached,  did  not  enter  because 
of  unbelief : 

7  Again  he  limiteth  a  certain  day,  say- 
ing in  David,  To  day,  after  so  long  a 
time,  as  it  is  above  said:  To  day  if  you 
shall  hear  his  voice,  harden  not  your 
hearts. 

8  For  if  Jesus  had  given  them  rest,  he 
would  never  have  afterwards  spoken  of 
another  day. 

9  There  remaineth  therefore  a  day  of 
rest  for  the  people  of  God. 

10  For  he  that  is  entered  into  his  rest, 
the  same  also  hath  rested  from  his  works, 
as  God  did  from  his. 

11  Let  us  hasten  therefore  to  enter  into 
that  rest ;  lest  any  man  fall  into  the  same 
example  of  unbelief. 

12  For  the  word  of  God  is  living  and 
effectual,  and  more  piercing  than  any 
two  edged  sword ;  and  reaching  unto  the 
division  of  the  soul  and  the  spirit,  of  the 
joints  also  and  the  marrow,  and  is  a  dis- 
cerner  of  the  thoughts  and  intents  of 
the  heart. 

13  Neither  is  there  any  creature  invis- 
ible in  his  sight :  but  all  things  are  naked 
and  open  to  his  eyes,  to  whom  our 
speech  is. 

14  Having  therefore  a  great  high  priest 
that  hath  passed  into  the  heavens,  Jesus 
the  Son  of  God :  let  us  hold  fast  our  con- 
fession. 

15  For  we  have  not  a  high  priest,  who 
can  not  have  compassion  on  our  infirmi-

us  hold  fast  our  confession.  15  For 
we  have  not  a  high  priest  that  can- 
not be  touched  with  the  feeling  of 
our  infirmities ;  but  one  that  hath 
been  in  all  points  tempted  like  as 
we  are,  yet  without  sin.  16  Let  us 
therefore  draw  near  with  boldness 
unto  the  throne  of  grace,  that  we 
may  receive  mercy,  and  may  find 
grace  to  help  us  in  time  of  need. 


CHAPTER  5. 

FOR  every  high  priest  taken  from 
among  men  is  ordained  for  men 
in  things  pertaining  to  God,  that  he 
may  offer  both  gifts  and  sacrifices  for 
sins : 

2  Who  can  have  compassion  on  the  ig- 
norant, and  on  them  that  are  out  of  the 
way;  for  that  he  himself  also  is  com- 
passed with  infirmity. 

3  And  by  reason  hereof  he  ought,  as 
for  the  people,  so  also  for  himself,  to 
offer  for  sins. 

4  And  no  man  taketh  this  honour  unto 
himself,  but  he  that  is  called  of  God,  as 
was  Aaron. 

5  So  also  Christ  glorified  not  himself 
to  be  made  an  high  priest ;  but  he  that  said 
unto  him,  Thou  art  my  Son,  to  day  have 
I  begotten  thee.

Thou  art  a  priest  for  ever  after  the  order 
of  Melchisedec.

had  offered  up  prayers  and  supplications 
with  strong  crying  and  tears  unto  him 
that  was  able  to  save  him  from  death, 
and  was  heard  in  that  he  feared ; 

8  Though  he  were  a  Son,  yet  learned 
he  obedience  by  the  things  which  he  suf- 
fered ; 

9  And  being  made  perfect,  he  became 
the  author  of  eternal  salvation  unto  all 
them  that  obey  him; 

10  Called  of  God  an  high  priest  after 
the  order  of  Melchisedec. 

11  Of  whom  we  have  many  things  to 
say,  and  hard  to  be  uttered,  seeing  ye  are 
dull  of  hearing, 

12  For  when  for  the  time  ye  ought  to

you  again  which  be  the  first  principles  of

CHAPTER  5. 

FOR  every  high  priest  taken  from 
among  them,  is  ordained  for  men  in 
the  things  that  appertain  to  God,  that 
he  may  offer  up  gifts  and  sacrifices  for 
sins: 

2  Who  can  have  compassion  on  them 
that  are  ignorant  and  that  err:  because 
he  himself  also  is  compassed  with  in- 
firmity. 

3  And  therefore  he  ought,  as  for  the 
people,  so  also  for  himself,  to  offer  for 
sins. 

4  Neither  doth  any  man  take  the  hon- 
our to  himself,  but  he  that  is  called  by 
God,  as  Aaron  was. 

5  So  Christ  also  did  not  glorify  himself, 
that  he  might  be  made  a  high  priest: 
but  he  that  said  unto  him :  Thou  art  my 
Son,  this  day  have  I  begotten  thee. 

6  As  he  saith  also  in  another  place : 
Thou  art  a  priest  for  ever,  according  to 
the  order  of  Melchisedech. 

7  Who  in  the  days  of  his  flesh,  with  a 
strong  cry  and  tears,  offering  up  prayers 
and  supplications  to  him  that  was  able 
to  save  him  from  death,  was  heard  for 
his  reverence. 

8  And  whereas  indeed  he  was  the  Son 
of  God,  he  learned  obedience  by  the 
things  which  he  suffered : 

9  And  being  consummated,  he  became, 
to  all  that  obey  him,  the  cause  of  eternal 
salvation. 

10  Called  by  God  a  high  priest  accord- 
ing to  the  order  of  Melchisedech. 

11  Of  whom  we  have  much  to  say,  and 
hard  to  be  intelligibly  uttered:  because 
you  are  become  weak  to  hear. 

12  For  whereas  for  the  time  you  ought 
to  be  masters,  you  have  need  to  be  taught 
again  what  are  the  first  elements  of  the 
words  of  God :  and  you  are  become  such 
as  have  need  of  milk,  and  not  of  strong 
meat. 

13  For  every  one  that  is  a  partaker  of

REVISED 


unskilful   in   the   word   of  righteousness: 
for  he  is  a  babe. 

14  But  strong  meat  belongeth  to  them 
that  are  of  full  age,  even  those  who  by 
reason  of  use  have  their  senses  exercised 
to  discern  both  good  and  evil. 


CHAPTER  6. 

THEREFORE  leaving  the  principles  of 
the  doctrine  of  Christ,  let  us  go  on 
unto  perfection;  not  laying  again  the 
foundation  of  repentance  from  dead 
works,  and  of  faith  toward  God, 

2  Of  the  doctrine  of  baptisms,  and  of 
laying  on  of  hands,  and  of  resurrection 
of  the  dead,  and  of  eternal  judgment. 

3  And  this  will  we  do,  if  God  permit. 

4  For  it  is  impossible  for  those  who 
were  once  enlightened,  and  have  tasted  of 
the  heavenly  gift,  and  were  made  par- 
takers of  the  Holy  Ghost, 

5  And  have  tasted  the  good  word  of 
God,  and  the  powers  of  the  world  to 
come, 

6  If  they  shall  fall  away,  to  renew  them 
again  unto  repentance ;  seeing  they  crucify 
to  themselves  the  Son  of  God  afresh,  and 
put  him  to  an  open  shame. 

7  For  the  earth  which  drinketh  in  the 
rain  that  cometh  oft  upon  it,  and  bringeth 
forth  herbs  meet  for  them  by  whom  it  is 
dressed,  receiveth  blessing  from  God: 

8  But  that  which  beareth  thorns  and 
briers  is  rejected,  and  is  nigh  unto  curs- 
ing; whose  end  is  to  be  burned. 

9  But,  beloved,  we  are  persuaded  better 
things  of  you,  and  things  that  accompany 
salvation,  though  we  thus  speak. 

10  For  God  is  not  unrighteous  to  forget 
your  work  and  labour  of  love,  which  ye 
have  shewed  toward  his  name,  in  that  ye 
have  ministered  to  the  saints,  and  do  min- 
ister. 

11  And  we  desire  that  every  one  of  you 
do  shew  the  same  diligence  to  the  full 
assurance  of  hope  unto  the  end : 

12  That  ye  be  not  slothful,  but  fol- 
lowers of  them  who  through  faith  and  pa- 
tience inherit  the  promises. 

13  For  when  God  made  promise  to 
Abraham,  because  he  could  swear  by  no 
greater,  he  sware  by  himself, 

14  Saying,  Surely  blessing  I  will  bless 
thee,  and  multiplying  I  will  multiply  thee. 

15  And  so,  after  he  had  patiently  en- 
dured, he  obtained  the  promise. 

16  For  men  verily  swear  by  the  greater : 


of  milk,  and  not  of  solid  food.  13 
For  every  one  that  partaketh  of 
milk  is  without  experience  of  the 
word  of  righteousness ;  for  he  is 
a  babe.  14  But  solid  food  is  for 
fullgrown  men,  even  those  who  by 
reason  of  use  have  their  senses  ex- 
ercised to  discern  good  and  evil. 


^-TITHEREFORE  let  us  cease  to 
'^  ▼  f  speak  of  the  first  principles 
of  Christ,  and  press  on  unto  per- 
fection; not  laying  again  a  founda- 
tion of  repentance  from  dead  works, 
and  of  faith  toward  God,  2  of  the 
teaching  of  baptisms,  and  of  laying 
on  of  hands,  and  of  resurrection  of 
the  dead,  and  of  eternal  judge- 
ment. 3  And  this  will  we  do,  if 
God  permit.  4  For  as  touching 
those  who  were  once  enlightened 
and  tasted  of  the  heavenly  gift,  and 
were  made  partakers  of  the  Holy 
Ghost,  5  and  tasted  the  good  word 
of  God,  and  the  powers  of  the  age 
to  come,  6  and  then  fell  away,  it 
is  impossible  to  renew  them  again 
unto  repentance ;  seeing  they  crucify 
to  themselves  the  Son  of  God 
afresh,  and  put  him  to  an  open 
shame.  7  For  the  land  which  hath 
drunk  the  rain  that  cometh  oft 
upon  it,  and  bringeth  forth  herbs 
meet  for  them  for  whose  sake  it  is 
also  tilled,  receiveth  blessing  from 
God :  8  but  if  it  beareth  thorns  and 
thistles,  it  is  rejected  and  nigh  un- 
to a  curse;  whose  end  is  to  be 
burned. 

9  But,  beloved,  we  are  persuaded 
better  things  of  you,  and  things  that 
accompany  salvation,  though  we 
thus  speak:  10  for  God  is  not  un- 
righteous to  forget  your  work  and 
the  love  which  ye  shewed  toward 
his  name,  in  that  ye  ministered  unto 
the  saints,  and  still  do  minister. 
II  And  we  desire  that  each  one  of 
you  may  shew  the  same  diligence 
unto  the  fulness  of  hope  even  to 
the  end :  12  that  ye  be  not  sluggish, 
but  imitators  of  them  who  through 
faith  and  patience  inherit  the  prom- 
ises. 

13  For  when  God  made  promise 
to  Abraham,  since  he  could  swear 
by  none  greater,  he  sware  by  him- 
self,   14    saying.    Surely    blessing    I

for  he  is  a  little  child. 

14  But  strong  meat  is  for  the  perfect; 
for  them  who  by  custom  have  their 
senses  exercised  to  the  discerning  of 
good  and  evil. 


CHAPTER  6. 

WHEREFORE  leaving  the  word  of 
the  beginning  of  Christ,  let  us  go 
on  to  things  more  perfect,  not  laying 
again  the  foundation  of  penance  from 
dead  works,  and  of  faith  towards  God, 

2  Of  the  doctrine  of  baptisms,  and  im-

tion of  the  dead,  and  of  eternal  judg- 
ment. 

3  And  this  will  we  do,  if  God  permit. 

4  For  it  is  impossible  for  those  who 
were  once  illuminated,  have  tasted  also 
the  heavenly  gift,  and  were  made  par- 
takers of  the  Holy  Ghost, 

5  Have  moreover  tasted  the  good  word 
of  God,  and  the  powers  of  the  world  to 
come, 

6  And  are  fallen  away:  to  be  renewed 
again  to  penance,  crucifying  again  to 
themselves  the  Son  of  God,  and  making 
him  a  mockery. 

7  For  the  earth  that  drinketh  in  the 
rain  which  cometh  often  upon  it,  and 
bringeth  forth  herbs  meet  for  them  by 
whom  it  is  tilled,  receiveth  blessing  from 
God. 

8  But  that  which  bringeth  forth  thorns 
and  briers,  is  reprobate,  and  very  near 
unto  a  curse,  whose  end  is  to  be  burnt. 

9  But,  my  dearly  beloved,  we  trust  bet- 
ter things  of  you,  and  nearer  to  salva- 
tion; though  we  speak  thus. 

10  For  God  is  not  unjust,  that  he  should 
forget  your  work,  and  the  love  which 
you  have  shewn  in  his  name,  you  who 
have  ministered,  and  do  minister  to  the 
saints. 

11  And  we  desire  that  every  one  of  you 
shew  forth  the  same  carefulness  to  the 
accomplishing  of  hope  unto  the  end: 

12  That  you  become  not  slothful,  but 
followers  of  them,  who  through  faith 
and  patience  shall  inherit  the  promises. 

13  For  God  making  promise  to  Abra- 
ham, because  he  had  no  one  greater  by 
whom  he  might  swear,  swore  by  himself, 

14  Saying :  Unless  blessing  I  shall  bless 
thee,  and  multiplying  /  shall  multiply 
thee.

an  end  of  all  strife. 

17  Wherein  God,  willing  more  abun- 
dantly to  shew  unto  the  heirs  of  promise 
the  immutability  of  his  counsel,  confirmed 
it  by  an  oath : 

18  That  by  two  immutable  things,  in 
which  it  was  impossible  for  God  to  lie, 
we  might  have  a  strong  consolation,  who 
have  fled  for  refuge  to  lay  hold  upon  the 
hope  set  before  us : 

19  Which  hope  we  have  as  an  anchor 
of  the  soul,  both  sure  and  stedfast,  and 
which  entereth  into  that  within  the  veil ; 

20  Whither  the  forerunner  is  for  us  en- 
tered, even  Jesus,  made  an  high  priest  for 
ever  after  the  order  of  Melchisedec. 


CHAPTER  7. 

FOR  this  Melchisedec,  king  of  Salem, 
priest  of  the  most  high  God,  who  met 
Abraham  returning  from  the  slaughter  of 
the  kings,  and  blessed  him ; 

2  To  whom  also  Abraham  gave  a  tenth 
part  of  all;  first  being  by  interpretation 
King  of  righteousness,  and  after  that  also 
King  of  Salem,  which  is,  King  of  peace; 

3  Without  father,  without  mother,  with- 
out descent,  having  neither  beginning  of 
days,  nor  end  of  life;  but  made  like  unto 
the  Son  of  God;  abideth  a  priest  con- 
tinually. 

4  Now  consider  how  great  this  man  was, 
unto  whom  even  the  patriarch  Abraham 
gave  the  tenth  of  the  spoils. 

5  And  verily  they  that  are  of  the  sons 
of  Levi,  who  receive  the  office  of  the 
priesthood,  have  a  commandment  to  take 
tithes  of  the  people  according  to  the  law, 
that  is,  of  their  brethren,  though  they 
come  out  of  the  loins  of  Abraham: 

6  But  he  whose  descent  is  not  counted 
from  them  received  tithes  of  Abraham, 
and  blessed  him  that  had  the  promises. 

7  And  without  all  contradiction  the  less 
is  blessed  of  the  better. 

8  And  here  men  that  die  receive  tithes; 
but  there  he  receiveth  them,  of  whom  it 
is  witnessed  that  he  liveth. 

9  And  as  I  may  so  say,  Levi  also,  who 
receiveth  tithes,  payed  tithes  in  Abraham. 

10  For  he  was  yet  in  the  loins  of  his 
father,  when  Melchisedec  met  him.

swear  by  the  greater :  and  in  every 
dispute  of  theirs  the  oath  is  final 
for  confirmation.  17  Wherein  God, 
being  minded  to  shew  more  abun- 
dantly unto  the  heirs  of  the  prom-

sel, interposed  with  an  oath :  18  that

it  is  impossible  for  God  to  lie,  we 
may  have  a  strong  encouragement, 
who  have  fled  for  refuge  to  lay

19  which  we  have  as  an  anchor  of 
the  soul,  a  hope  both  sure  and  sted-

20  Where  the  forerunner  Jesus  is  en- 
tered for  us,  made  a  high  priest  for  ever 
according  to  the  order  of  Melchisedech. 


CHAPTER  7. 

FOR  this  Melchisedech  was  king  of 
Salem,  priest  of  the  most  high  God, 
who  met  Abraham  returning  from  the 
slaughter  of  the  kings,  and  blessed  him: 

2  To  whom  also  Abraham  divided  the 
tithes  of  all :  who  first  indeed  by  inter- 
pretation, is  king  of  justice :  and  then 
also  king  of  Salem,  that  is,  king  of 
peace : 

3  Without  father,  without  mother,  with- 
out genealogy,  having  neither  beginning 
of  days  nor  end  of  life,  but  likened  unto 
the  Son  of  God,  continueth  a  priest  for 
ever. 

4  Now  consider  how  great  this  man  is, 
to  whom  also  Abraham  the  patriarch 
gave  tithes  out  of  the  principal  things. 

5  And  indeed  they  that  are  of  the  sons 
of  Levi,  who  receive  the  priesthood,  have 
a  commandment  to  take  tithes  of  the 
people  according  to  the  law,  that  is  to  say, 
of  their  brethren:  though  they  them- 
selves also  came  out  of  the  loins  of  Abra-

6  But  he,  whose  pedigree  is  not  num-

Abraham,  and  blessed  him  that  had  the 
promises. 

7  And  without  all  contradiction,  that 
which  is  less,  is  blessed  by  the  better. 

8  And  here  indeed,  men  that  die,  re-

11  If  therefore  perfection  were  by  the 
Levitical  priesthood,  (for  under  it  the  peo- 
ple received  the  law,)  what  further  need 
was  there  that  another  priest  should  rise 
after  the  order  of  Melchisedec,  and  not  be 
called  after  the  order  of  Aaron? 

12  For  the  priesthood  being  changed, 
there  is  made  of  necessity  a  change  also 
of  the  law. 

13  For  he  of  whom  these  things  are 
spoken  pertaineth  to  another  tribe,  of 
which  no  man  gave  attendance  at  the  altar. 

14  For  it  is  evident  that  our  Lord 
sprang  out  of  Juda ;  of  which  tribe  Moses 
spake  nothing  concerning  priesthood. 

15  And  it  is  yet  far  more  evident:  for 
that  after  the  similitude  of  Melchisedec 
there  ariseth  another  priest, 

16  Who  is  made,  not  after  the  law  of 
a  carnal  commandment,  but  after  the 
power  of  an  endless  life. 

17  For  he  testifieth.  Thou  art  a  priest 
for  ever  after  the  order  of  Melchisedec. 

18  For  there  is  verily  a  disannulling  of 
the  commandment  going  before  for  the 
weakness  and  unprofitableness  thereof. 

19  For  the  law  made  nothing  perfect, 
but  the  bringing  in  of  a  better  hope  did; 
by  the  which  we  draw  nigh  unto  God. 

20  And  inasmuch  as  not  without  an 
oath  he  was  made  priest: 

21  (For  those  priests  were  made  with- 
out an  oath ;  but  this  with  an  oath  by  him 
that  said  unto  him,  The  Lord  sware  and 
will  not  repent,  Thou  art  a  priest  for  ever 
after  the  order  of  Melchisedec:) 

22  By  so  much  was  Jesus  made  a  surety 
of  a  better  testament. 

23  And  they  truly  were  many  priests, 
because  they  were  not  suffered  to  con- 
tinue by  reason  of  death  : 

24  But  this  man,  because  he  continueth 
ever,  hath  an  unchangeable  priesthood. 

25  Wherefore  he  is  able  also  to  save 
them  to  the  uttermost  that  come  unto 
God  by  him,  seeing  he  ever  liveth  to  make 
intercession  for  them. 

26  For  such  an  high  priest  became  us, 
who  is  holy,  harmless,  undefiled,  separate 
from  sinners,  and  made  higher  than  the 
heavens ; 

27  Who  needeth  not  daily,  as  those 
high  priests,  to  offer  up  sacrifice,  first  for 
his  own  sins,  and  then  for  the  people's: 
for  this  he  did  once,  when  he  offered  up 
himself. 

28  For  the  law  maketh  men  high  priests 
which  have  infirmity ;  but  the  word  of  the 
oath,   which   was   since   the   law,   maketh 


tithes ;  10  for  he  was  yet  in  the 
loins  of  his  father,  when  Melchize- 
dek  met  him. 

II  Now  if  there  was  perfection 
through  the  Levitical  priesthood 
(for  under  it  hath  the  people  re- 
ceived the  law),  what  further  need 
was  there  that  another  priest  should 
arise  after  the  order  of  Melchiz- 
edek,  and  not  be  reckoned  after  the 
order  of  Aaron?  12  For  the  priest- 
hood being  changed,  there  is  made 
of  necessity  a  change  also  of  the 
law.  13  For  he  of  whom  these 
things  are  said  belongeth  to  another 
tribe,  from  which  no  man  hath 
given  attendance  at  the  altar.  14 
For  it  is  evident  that  our  Lord 
hath  sprung  out  of  Judah ;  as  to 
which  tribe  Moses  spake  nothing 
concerning  priests.  15  And  zvhat 
we  say  is  yet  more  abundantly  evi- 
dent, if  after  the  likeness  of  Mel- 
chizedek  there  ariseth  another  priest, 
16  who  hath  been  made,  not  after 
the  law  of  a  carnal  commandment, 
but  after  the  power  of  an  endless 
life:  17  for  it  is  witnessed  of  him, 
Thou  art  a  priest  for  ever 
After  the  order  of  Melchizedek. 

18  For  there  is  a  disannulling  of  a 
foregoing  commandment  because  of 
its    weakness    and    unprofitableness 

19  (for  the  law  made  nothing  per- 
fect), and  a  bringing  in  thereupon 
of  a  better  hope,  through  which  we 
draw  nigh  unto  God.  20  And  inas- 
much as  it  is  not  without  the  taking 
of  an  oath  21  (for  they  indeed  have 
been  made  priests  without  an  oath ; 
but  he  with  an  oath  by  him  that 
saith  of  him. 

The    Lord    sware    and    will    not 
repent  himself. 

Thou  art  a  priest  for  ever)  ; 
22  by  so  much  also  hath  Jesus  be- 
come the  surety  of  a  better  cove- 
nant. 23  And  they  indeed  have 
been  made  priests  many  in  number, 
because  that  by  death  they  are  hin- 
dered from  continuing :  24  but  he, 
because  he  abideth  for  ever,  hath 
his  priesthood  unchangeable.  25 
Wherefore  also  he  is  able  to  save 
to  the  uttermost  them  that  draw 
near  unto  God  through  him,  seeing 
he  ever  liveth  to  make  intercession 
for  them.

so  to  say,  through  Abraham  even

paid  tithes;  10  for  he  was  yet  in 
the  loins  of  his  father,  when  Mel- 
chizedek  met  him. 

II  Now  if  there  was  perfection 
through  the  Levitical  priesthood 
(for  under  it  hath  the  people  re-

hath  given  attendance  at  the  altar. 
14  For  it  is  evident  that  our  Lord

after  the  law  of  a  carnal  command- 
ment, but  after  the  power  of  an 
endless  life:  17  for  it  is  witnessed 
of  him, 

Thou  art  a  priest  for  ever 

After  the  order  of  Melchizedek. 
18  For  there  is  a  disannulling  of  a 
foregoing  commandment  because 
of  its  weakness  and  unprofitable- 
ness 19  (for  the  law  made  nothing 
perfect),  and  a  bringing  in  there- 
upon of  a  better  hope,  through 
which  we  draw  nigh  unto  God. 
20  And  inasmuch  as  it  is  not  with- 
out the  taking  of  an  oath  21  (for 
they  indeed  have  been  made  priests 
without  an  oath;  but  he  with  an 
oath  by  him  that  saith  of  him, 

The   Lord    sware   and   will    not 
repent  himself, 

Thou  art  a  priest  for  ever)  ; 
22  by  so  much  also  hath  Jesus  be- 
come the  surety  of  a  better  cove- 
nant. 2^  And  they  indeed  have 
been  made  priests  many  in  num- 
ber, because  that  by  death  they  are 
hindered  from  continuing:  24  but 
he,  because  he  abideth  for  ever, 
hath  his  priesthood  unchange- 
able. 25  Wherefore  also  he  is  able 
to  save  to  the  uttermost  them  that 
draw  near  unto  God  through  him, 


who  received  tithes,  paid  tithes  in  Abra- 
ham: 

10  For  he  was  yet  in  the  loins  of  his 
father,   when   Melchisedech   met  him. 

11  If  then  perfection  was  by  the  Leviti- 
cal priesthood,  (for  under  it  the  people 
received  the  law,)  what  further  need 
was  there  that  another  priest  should  rise 
according  to  the  order  of  Melchisedech, 
and  not  be  called  according  to  the  order 
of  Aaron? 

12  For  the  priesthood  being  translated, 
it  is  necessary  that  a  translation  also  be 
made  of  the  law. 

13  For  he,  of  whom  these  things  are 
spoken,  is  of  another  tribe,  of  which  no 
one  attended  on  the  altar. 

14  For  it  is  evident  that  our  Lord 
sprung  out  of  Juda :  in  which  tribe  Mo- 
ses spoke  nothing  concerning  priests. 

15  And  it  is  yet  far  more  evident.:  if 
according  to  the  similitude  of  Melchise- 
dech there  ariseth  another  priest, 

16  Who  is  made  not  according  to  the 
law  of  a  carnal  commandment,  but  ac- 
cording to  tlie  power  of  an  indissoluble 
life: 

17  For  he  testifieth:  Thou  art  a  priest 
for  ever,  according  to  the  order  of  Mel- 
chisedech. 

18  There  is  indeed  a  setting  aside  of 
the  former  commandment,  because  of  the 
weakness  and  unprofitableness  thereof: 

19  (For  the  law  brought  nothing  to 
perfection,)  but  a  bringing  in  of  a  bet- 
ter hope,  by  which  we  draw  nigh  to  God. 

20  And  inasmuch  as  it  is  not  without 
an  oath,  (for  the  others  indeed  were 
made  priests  without  an  oath; 

21  But  this  with  an  oath,  by  him  that 
said  unto  him:  The  Lord  hath  sworn, 
and  he  will  not  repent.  Thou  art  a  priest 
for  ever.) 

22  By  so  much  is  Jesus  made  a  surety 
of  a  better  testament. 

2:^  And  the  others  indeed  were  made 
many  priests,  because  by  reason  of  death 
they  were  not  suffered  to  continue : 

24  But  this,  for  that  he  continueth  for 
ever,  hath   an  everlasting  priesthood, 

25  Whereby  he  is  able  also  to  save  for 
ever  them  that  come  to  God  by  him;  al- 
ways living  to  make  intercession  for  us. 

26  For  it  was  fitting  that  we  should 
have  such  a  high  priest,  holy,  innocent, 
undefiled,  separated  from  sinners,  and 
made  higher  than  the  heavens; 

27  Who  needeth  not  daily  (as  the  other 
priests)    to   offer   sacrifices   first   for   his

the    Son,    who    is   consecrated   for   ever- 


us,  holy,  guileless,  undefiled,  sep- 
arated from  sinners,  and  made 
higher  than  the  heavens ;  27  who 
needeth  not  daily,  like  those  high 
priests,  to  offer  up  sacrifices,  first 
for  his  own  sins,  and  then  for  the 
sins  of  the  people:  for  this  he  did 
once  for  all,  when  he  offered  up 
himself.  28  For  the  law  appointeth 
men  high  priests,  having  infirmity ; 
but  the  word  of  the  oath,  which 
was  after  the  law,  appointeth  a  Son, 
perfected  for  evermore. 


CHAPTER  8. 

NOW  of  the  things  which  we  have 
spoken  this  is  the  sum:  We  have 
such  an  high  priest,  who  is  set  on  the 
right  hand  of  the  throne  of  the  Majesty 
in  the  heavens; 

2  A  minister  of  the  sanctuary,  and  of 
the  true  tabernacle,  which  the  Lord 
pitched,  and  not  man. 

3  For  every  high  priest  is  ordained  to 
offer  gifts  and  sacrifices:  wherefore  it  is 
of  necessity  that  this  man  have  somewhat 
also  to  offer. 

4  For  if  he  were  on  earth,  he  should 
not  be  a  priest,  seeing  that  there  are 
priests  that  offer  gifts  according  to  the 
law: 

5  Who  serve  unto  the  example  and 
shadow  of  heavenly  things,  as  Moses  was 
admonished  of  God  when  he  was  about 
to  make  the  tabernacle :  for.  See,  saith  he, 
that  thou  make  all  things  according  to  the 
pattern  shewed  to  thee  in  the  mount. 

6  But  now  hath  he  obtained  a  more 
excellent  ministry,  by  how  much  also  he 
is  the  mediator  of  a  better  covenant, 
which  was  established  upon  better  prom- 
ises. 

7  For  if  that  first  covenant  had  been 
faultless,  then  should  no  place  have  been 
sought  for  the  second. 

8  For  finding  fault  with  them,  he  saith, 
Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the  Lord, 
when  I  will  make  a  new  covenant  with 
the  house  of  Israel  and  with  the  house  of 
Judah : 

9  Not  according  to  the  covenant  that  I 
made  with  their  fathers  in  the  day  when  I 
took  them  by  the  hand  to  lead  them  out 
of  the  land  of  Egypt ;  because  they  con- 
tinued not  in  my  covenant,  and  I  regarded 
them  not,  saith  the  Lord. 

10  For  this  is  the  covenant  that  I  will 


oiyrOW  in  the  things  which  we 
^i-1  are  saying  the  chief  point  is 
this:  We  have  such  a  high  priest, 
who  sat  down  on  the  right  hand  of 
the  throne  of  the  Majesty  in  the 
heavens,  2  a  minister  of  the  sanc- 
tuary', and  of  the  true  tabernacle, 
which  the  Lord  pitched,  not  man. 
3  For  every  high  priest  is  appointed 
to  offer  both  gifts  and  sacrifices : 
wherefore  it  is  necessary  that  this 
high  priest  also  have  somewhat  to 
offer.  4  Now  if  he  were  on  earth, 
he  would  not  be  a  priest  at  all,  see- 
ing there  are  those  who  offer  the 
gifts  according  to  the  law;  5  who 
serve  that  zvhich  is  a  copy  and 
shadow  of  the  heavenly  things,  even 
as  Moses  is  warned  of  God  when 
he  is  about  to  make  the  tabernacle : 
for.  See.  saith  he,  that  thou  make 
all  things  according  to  the  pattern 
that  was  shewed  thee  in  the  mount. 
6  But  now  hath  he  obtained  a  min- 
istry the  more  excellent,  by  how 
much  also  he  is  the  mediator  of  a 
better  covenant,  which  hath  been 
enacted  upon  better  promises.  7 
For  if  that  first  covenant  had  been 
faultless,  then  would  no  place  have 
been  sought  for  a  second.  8  For 
finding  fault  with  them,  he  saith, 
Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the 

Lord, 
That  I  will  make  a  new  cove- 
nant with  the  house  of  Israel 
and  with  the  house  of  Judah ; 
9  Not    according   to   the   covenant 
that  I  made  with  their  fathers 
In  the  day  that  I  took  them  by 
the   hand  to   lead   them   forth 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt ;

seeing  he  ever  liveth  to  make  inter- 
cession for  them. 

26  For  such  a  high  priest  became 
us,  holy,  guileless,  undefiled,  sep- 
arated from  sinners,  and  made 
higher  than  the  heavens;  27  who 
needeth  not  daily,  like  those  high 
priests,  to  offer  up  sacrifices,  first 
for  his  own  sins,  and  then  for  the 
sins  of  the  people:  for  this  he  did 
once  for  all,  when  he  offered  up 
himself.  28  For  the  law  appoint- 
eth  men  high  priests,  having  in- 
firmity; but  the  word  of  the  oath, 
which  was  after  the  law,  appointeth 
a  Son,  perfected  for  evermore. 

Q^VrOW  in  the  things  which  we 
^l\  are  saying  the  chief  point 
is  this:  We  have  such  a  high 
priest,  who  sat  down  on  the  right 
hand  of  the  throne  of  the  Majesty 
in  the  heavens,  2  a  minister  of  the 
sanctuary,  and  of  the  true  taber- 
nacle, which  the  Lord  pitched,  not

appointed  to  offer  both  gifts  and 
sacrifices :  wherefore  it  is  necessary 
that  this  high  priest  also  have 
somewhat  to  offer.  4  Now  if  he 
were  on  earth,  he  would  not  be  a 
priest  at  all,  seeing  there  are  those 
who  offer  the  gifts  according  to  the 
law;  5  who  serve  that  which  is  a 
copy  and  shadow  of  the  heavenly 
things,  even  as  Moses  is  warned 
of  God  when  he  is  about  to  make 
the  tabernacle:  for.  See,  saith  he, 
that  thou  make  all  things  accord- 
ing to  the  pattern  that  was  showed 
thee  in  the  mount.  6  But  now 
hath  he  obtained  a  ministry  the 
more  excellent,  by  so  much  as  he 
is  also  the  mediator  of  a  better 
covenant,  which  hath  been  enacted 
upon  better  promises.  7  For  if 
that  first  covenant  had  been  fault- 
less, then  would  no  place  have  been 
sought  for  a  second.  8  For  find- 
ing fault  with  them,  he  saith. 

Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the 

Lord, 
That  I  will  make  a  new  cove- 
nant  with    the    house    of    Is- 
rael   and    with    the    house    of 
Judah ; 
9  Not  according  to   the   covenant 
that  I  made  with  their  fathers 
In  the  day  that  I  took  them  by 


own  sins,  and  then  for  the  people's :  for 
this  he  did  once,  in  offering  himself. 

28  For  the  law  maketh  men  priests, 
who  have  infirmity :  but  the  word  of  the 
oath,  which  was  since  the  law,  the  Son 
who  is  perfected  for  evermore. 


CHAPTER  8. 

NOW  of  the  things  which  we  have 
spoken,  this  is  the  sum:  We  have 
such  an  high  priest,  who  is  set  on  the 
right  hand  of  the  throne  of  majesty  in 
the  heavens, 

2  A  minister  of  the  holies,  and  of  the 
true  tabernacle,  which  the  Lord  hath 
pitched,  and  not  man. 

3  For  every  high  priest  is  appointed  to 
offer  gifts  and  sacrifices :  wherefore  it 
is  necessary  that  he  also  should  have 
some  thing  to  offer. 

4  If  then  he  were  on  earth,  he  would 
not  be  a  priest :  seeing  that  there  would 
be  others  to  offer  gifts  according  to  the 
law, 

5  Who  serve  unto  the  example  and 
shadow  of  heavenly  things.  As  it  was 
answered  to  Moses,  when  he  was  to  fin- 
ish the  tabernacle:  See  (saith  he)  that 
thou  make  all  things  according  to  the 
pattern  which  was  shewn  thee  on  the 
mount. 

6  But  now  he  hath  obtained  a  better 
ministry,  by  how  much  also  he  is  a  medi- 
ator of  a  better  testament,  which  is  es- 
tablished on  better  promises. 

7  For  if  that  former  had  been  fault- 
less, there  should  not  indeed  a  place  have 
been  sought  for  a  second. 

8  For  finding  fault  with  them,  he  saith : 
Behold,  the  days  shall  come,  saith  the 
Lord:  and  I  will  perfect  unto  the  house 
of  Israel,  and  unto  the  house  of  Juda,  a 
new  testament: 

9  Not  according  to  the  testament  which 
I  made  to  their  fathers,  on  the  day  when 
I  took  them  by  the  hand  to  lead  them  out 
of  the  land  of  Egypt:  because  they  con- 
tinued not  in  my  testament:  and  I  re- 
garded them  not,  saith  the  Lord. 

10  For  this  is  the  testament  which  I

REVISED 


make  with  the  house  of  Israel  after  those 
days,  saith  the  Lord ;  I  will  put  my  laws 
into  their  mind,  and  write  them  in  their 
hearts :  and  I  will  be  to  them  a  God,  and 
they  shall  be  to  me  a  people : 

11  And  they  shall  not  teach  every  man 
his  neighbour,  and  every  man  his  brother, 
sa,ying,  Know  the  Lord:  for  all  shall 
know  me,  from  the  least  to  the  greatest. 

12  For  I  will  be  merciful  to  their  un- 
righteousness, and  their  sins  and  their 
iniquities  will  I  remember  no  more. 

13  In  that  he  saith,  A  new  covenant,  he 
hath  made  the  first  old.  Now  that  which 
decayeth  and  waxeth  old  is  ready  to  van- 
ish away. 


For   they    continued   not   in    my 

covenant, 
And  I  regarded  them  not,  saith 

the  Lord. 
ID  For    this    is    the    covenant    that 

I    will    make   with   the   house 

of  Israel 
After  those  days,  saith  the  Lord; 
I    will   put   my   laws   into   their 

mind. 
And  on  their  heart  also  will  I 

write  them: 
And  I  will  be  to  them  a  God, 
And  they  shall  be  to  me  a  peo- 
ple: 

11  And  they  shall  not  teach  every 

man  his   fellow-citizen. 
And  every  man  his  brother,  say- 
ing, Know  the  Lord: 
For  all  shall  know  me. 
From  the  least  to  the  greatest  of 
them. 

12  For  I  will  be  merciful  to  their 

iniquities, 
And  their  sins  will  I  remember 
no  more. 

13  In  that  he  saith,  A  new  covenant, 
he  hath  made  the  first  old.  But 
that  which  is  becoming  old  and 
waxeth  aged  is  nigh  unto  vanishing 
away. 


CHAPTER  9. 

THEN  verily  the  first  covenant  had  also 
ordinances   of   divine   service,   and   a 
worldly  sanctuary. 

2  For  there  was  a  tabernacle  made ;  the 
first,  wherein  was  the  candlestick,  and  the 
table,  and  the  shewbread;  which  is  called 
the  sanctuary. 

3  And  after  the  second  veil,  the  taber- 
nacle which  is  called  the  Holiest  of  all ; 

4  Which  had  the  golden  censer,  and  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  overlaid  round  about 
with  gold,  wherein  was  the  golden  pot 
that  had  manna,  and  Aaron's  rod  that 
budded,  and  the  tables  of  the  cove- 
nant; 

5  And  over  it  the  cherubims  of  glory 
shadowing  the  mercyseat ;  of  which  we 
cannot  now  speak  particularly. 

6  Now  when  these  things  were  thus  or- 
dained, the  priests  went  always  into  the 
first  tabernacle,  accomplishing  the  service 
of  God. 

7  But  into  the  second  went  the  high 
priest  alone  once  every  year,  not  without 


"T^OW  even  the  first  covenant 
9-Ll  had  ordinances  of  divine 
service,  and  its  sanctuary,  a  sanctu- 
ary of  this  world.  2  For  there  was 
a  tabernacle  prepared,  the  first, 
wherein  were  the  candlestick,  and 
the  table,  and  the  shewbread; 
which  is  called  the  Holy  place.  3 
And  after  the  second  veil,  the  taber- 
nacle which  is  called  the  Holy  of 
holies;  4  having  a  golden  censer, 
and  the  ark  of  the  covenant  over- 
laid round  about  with  gold,  where- 
in was  a  golden  pot  holding  the 
manna,  and  Aaron's  rod  that  bud- 
ded, and  the  tables  of  the  cove- 
nant ;  5  and  above  it  cherubim  of 
glory  overshadowing  the  mercy- 
seat  ;  of  which  things  we  cannot 
now  speak  severally.  6  Now  these 
things  having  been  thus  prepared, 
the  priests  go  in  continually  into 
the  first  tabernacle,  accomplishing 
the  services;  7  but  into  the  second

the  hand  to  lead  them   forth 

out  of  the  land  of  Egypt; 
For   they   continued   not   in   my 

covenant, 
And  I  regarded  them  not,  saith 

the  Lord. 

10  For   this    is    the    covenant    that 

I  will  make  with  the  house 
of  Israel 

After  those  days,  saith  the 
Lord; 

I  will  put  my  laws  into  their 
mind, 

And  on  their  heart  also  will  I 
write  them : 

And  I  will  be  to  them  a  God, 

And  they  shall  be  to  me  a  peo- 
ple : 

11  And  they  shall  not  teach  every 

man  his  fellow-citizen, 
And  every  man  his  brother,  say- 
ing, Know  the  Lord: 
For  all  shall  know  me, 
From  the  least  to  the  greatest 
of  them. 

12  For  I  will  be  merciful  to  their 

iniquities, 
And   their   sins   will    I    remem- 
ber no  more. 

13  In  that  he  saith,  A  new  cove- 
nant, he  hath  made  the  first  old. 
But  that  which  is  becoming  old 
and  waxeth  aged  is  nigh  unto  van- 
ishing away. 

lyrOW  even  the  first  covenant 
y±\  had  ordinances  of  divine 
service,  and  its  sanctuary,  a  sanctu- 
ary of  this  world.  2  For  there  was 
a  tabernacle  prepared,  the  first, 
wherein  were  the  candlestick,  and 
the  table,  and  the  showbread ; 
which  is  called  the  Holy  place. 
3  And  after  the  second  veil,  the 
tabernacle  which  is  called  the 
Holy  of  holies;  4  having  a  golden 
altar  of  incense,  and  the  ark  of 
the  covenant  overlaid  round  about 
with  gold,  wherein  was  a  golden 
pot  holding  the  manna,  and 
Aaron's  rod  that  budded,  and 
the  tables  of  the  covenant;  5 
and  above  it  cherubim  of  glory 
overshadowing  the  mercy-seat ; 
of  which  things  we  cannot  now 
speak  severally.  6  Now  these 
things  having  been  thus  prepared, 
the  priests  go  in  continually  into 
the     first     tabernacle,     accomplish- 


will-make  to  the  house  of  Israel  after 
those  days,  saith  the  Lord:  I  will  give  my 
laws  into  their  mind,  and  in  their  heart 
will  I  zvrite  them:  and  I  will  be  their 
God,  and  they  shall  be  my  people: 

11  And  they  shall  not  teach  every  man 
his  neighbour  and  every  man  his  brother, 
saying.  Know  the  Lord:  for  all  shall 
know  me  from  the  least  to  the  greatest  of 
them : 

12  Because  I  will  be  merciful  to  their 
iniquities,  and  their  sins  I  will  remem- 
ber no  more. 

13  Now  in  saying  a  new,  he  hath  made 
the  former  old.  And  that  which  decay- 
eth  and  groweth  old,  is  near  its  end.   • 


CHAPTER  9. 

THE  former  indeed  had  also  justifica- 
tions of  divine  service,  and  a  worldly 
sanctuary. 

2  For  there  was  a  tabernacle  made  the 
first,  wherein  were  the  candlesticks,  and 
the  table,  and 'the  setting  forth  of  loaves, 
which  is  called  the  holy. 

3  And  after  the  second  veil,  the  taber- 
nacle, which  is  called  the  holy  of  holies-: 

4  Having  a  golden  censer,  and  the  ark 
of  the  testament  covered  about  on  every 
part  with  gold,  in  which  was  a  golden 
pot  that  had  manna,  and  the  rod  of 
Aaron,  that  had  blossomed,  and  the  tables 
of  the  testament. 

5  And  over  it  were  the  cherubims  of 
glory  overshadowing  the  propitiatory :  of 
which  it  is  not  needful  to  speak  now 
particularly. 

6  Now  these  things  being  thus  ordered, 
into  the  first  tabernacle  the  priests  in- 
deed always  entered,  accomplishing  the 
offices  of  sacrifices. 

7  But  into  the  second,  the  high  priest

blood,  which  he  offered  for  himself,  and 
for  the  errors  of  the  people: 

8  The  Holy  Ghost  this  signifying,  that 
the  way  into  the  holiest  of  all  was  not  yet 
made  manifest,  while  as  the  first  taber- 
nacle was  yet  standing: 

9  Which  was  a  figure  for  the  time  then 
present,  in  which  were  offered  both  gifts 
and  sacrifices,  that  could  not  make  him 
that  did  the  service  perfect,  as  pertaining 
to  the  conscience ; 

ID  Which  stood  only  in  meats  and 
drinks,  and  divers  washings,  and  carnal 
ordinances,  imposed  on  them  until  the  time 
of  reformation, 

11  But  Christ  being  come  an  high  priest 
of  good  things  to  come,  by  a  greater  and 
more  perfect  tabernacle,  not  made  with 
hands,  that  is  to  say,  not  of  this  building; 

12  Neither  by  the  blood  of  goats  and 
calves,  but  by  his  own  blood  he  entered 
in  once  into  the  holy  place,  having  ob- 
tained eternal  redemption  for  us. 

13  For  if  the  blood  of  bulls  and  of 
goats,  and  the  ashes  of  an  heifer  sprink- 
ling the  unclean,  sanctifieth  to  the  purify- 
ing of  the  flesh: 

14  How  much  more  shall  the  blood  of 
Christ,  who  through  the  eternal  Spirit 
offered  himself  without  spot  to  God, 
purge  your  conscience  from  dead  works 
to  serve  the  living  God? 

15  And  for  this  cause  he  is  the  mediator 
of  the  new  testament,  that  by  means  of 
death,  for  the  redemption  of  the  trans- 
gressions that  were  under  the  first  testa- 
ment, they  which  are  called  might  receive 
the  promise  of  eternal  inheritance, 

16  For  where  a  testament  is,  there  must 
also  of  necessity  be  the .  death  of  the 
testator. 

17  For  a  testament  is  of  force  after  men 
are  dead:  otherwise  it  is  of  no  strength 
at  all  while  the  testator  liveth. 

18  Whereupon  neither  the  first  testa- 
ment was  dedicated  without  blood. 

19  For  when  Moses  had  spoken  every 
precept  to  all  the  people  according  to  the 
law,  he  took  the  blood  of  calves  and  of 
goats,  with  water,  and  scarlet  wool,  and 
hyssop,  and  sprinkled  both  the  book,  and 
all  the  people, 

20  Saying,  This  is  the  blood  of  the 
testament  which  God  hath  enjoined  unto 
you. 

21  Moreover  he  sprinkled  with  blood 
both  the  tabernacle,  and  all  the  vessels 
of  the  ministry. 

22  And  almost  all  things  are  by  the  law 


the  high  priest  alone,  once  in  the 
year,  not  without  blood,  which  he 
offereth  for  himself,  and  for  the 
errors  of  the  people:  8  the  Holy 
Ghost  this  signifying,  that  the  way 
into  the  holy  place  hath  not  yet 
been  made  manifest,  while  as  the 
first  tabernacle  is  yet  standing;  9 
which  is  a  parable  for  the  time  now 
present ;  according  to  which  are  of- 
fered both  gifts  and  sacrifices  that 
cannot,  as  touching  the  conscience, 
make  the  worshipper  perfect,  10  be- 
ing only  (with  meats  and  drinks 
and  divers  washings)  carnal  ordi- 
nances, imposed  until  a  time  of 
reformation. 

II  But  Christ  having  come  a  high 
priest  of  the  good  things  to  come, 
through  the  greater  and  more  per- 
fect tabernacle,  not  made  with 
hands,  that  is  to  say,  not  of  this 
creation,  12  nor  yet  through  the 
blood  of  goats  and  calves,  but 
through  his  own  blood,  entered  in 
once  for  all  into  the  holy  place, 
having  obtained  eternal  redemp- 
tion. 13  For  if  the  blood  of  goats 
and  bulls,  and  the  ashes  of  a  heifer 
sprinkling  them  that  have  been  de- 
filed, sanctify  unto  the  cleanness  of 
the  flesh  :  14  how  much  more  shall 
the  blood  of  Christ,  who  through 
the  eternal  Spirit  offered  himself 
without  blemish  unto  God,  cleanse 
your  conscience  from  dead  works 
to  serve  the  living  God?  15  And 
for  this  cause  he  is  the  mediator 
of  a  new  covenant,  that  a  death 
having  taken  place  for  the  redemp- 
tion of  the  transgressions  that  were 
under  the  first  covenant,  they  that 
have  been  called  may  receive  the 
promise  of  the  eternal  inheritance. 
16  For  where  a  testament  is,  there 
rnust  of  necessity  be  the  death  of 
him  that  made  it.  17  For  a  testa- 
ment is  of  force  where  there  hath 
been  death :  for  doth  it  ever  avail 
while  he  that  made  it  liveth? 
18  Wherefore  even  the  first  cove- 
nant hath  not  been  dedicated  with- 
out blood.  19  For  when  every  com- 
mandment had  been  spoken  by 
Moses  unto  all  the  people  according 
to  the  law,  he  took  the  blood  of 
the  calves  and  the  goats,  with  wa- 
ter and  scarlet  wool  and  hyssop, 
and  sprinkled  both  the  book  itself,

ing  the  services;  7  but  into  the 
second  the  high  priest  alone, 
once  in  the  year,  not  without 
blood,  which  he  offereth  for  him- 
self, and  for  the  errors  of  the 
people:  8  the  Holy  Spirit  this 
signifying,  that  the  way  into  the 
holy  place  hath  not  yet  been  made 
manifest,  while  the  first  tabernacle 
is  yet  standing;  9  which  is  a  fig- 
ure for  the  time  present ;  according 
to  which  are  offered  both  gifts  and 
sacrifices  that  cannot,  .as  touching 
the  conscience,  make  the  wor- 
shipper perfect,  10  being  only  (with 
meats  and  drinks  and  divers 
washings)  carnal  ordinances,  im- 
posed until  a  time  of  reforma- 
tion. 

II  But  Christ  having  come  a 
high  priest  of  the  good  things  to 
come,  through  the  greater  and 
more  perfect  tabernacle,  not  made 
with  hands,  that  is  to  say,  not  of 
this  creation,  12  nor  yet  through 
the  blood  of  goats  and  calves,  but 
through  his  own  blood,  entered 
in  once  for  all  into  the  holy  place, 
having  obtained  eternal  redemp- 
tion. 13  For  if  the  blood  of  goats 
and  bulls,  and  the  ashes  of  a  heifer 
sprinkling  them  that  have  been 
defiled,  sanctify  unto  the  clean- 
ness of  the  flesh :  14  how  much 
more  shall  the  blood  of  Christ, 
who  through  the  eternal  Spirit 
offered  himself  without  blemish 
unto  God,  cleanse  your  conscience 
from  dead  works  to  serve  the 
living  God?  15  And  for  this  cause 
he  is  the  mediator  of  a  new 
covenant,  that  a  death  having 
taken  place  for  the  redemption  of 
the  transgressions  that  were  under 
the  first  covenant,  they  that  have 
been  called  may  receive  the 
promise  of  the  eternal  inheritance. 
16  For  where  a  testament  is, 
there  must  of  necessity  be  the 
death  of  him  that  made  it.  17  For 
a  testament  is  of  force  where 
there  hath  been  death :  for  it  doth 
never  avail  while  he  that  made  it 
liveth.  18  Wherefore  even  the  first 
covenant  hath  not  been  dedicated 
without  blood."  19  For  when  every 
commandment  had  been  spoken 
by  Moses  unto  all  the  people  ac- 
cording  to   the   law,    he   took   the 


alone,  once  a  year:  not  without  blood, 
which  he  offereth  for  his  own,  and  the 
people's  ignorance: 

8  The  Holy  Ghost  signifying  this,  that 
the  way  into  the  holies  was  not  yet  made 
manifest,  whilst  the  former  tabernacle 
was  yet  standing. 

9  Which  is  a  parable  of  the  time  pres- 
ent:  according  to  which  gifts  and  sacri- 
fices are  offered,  which  can  not,  as  to  the 
conscience,  make  him  perfect  that  serv- 
eth,  only  in  meats  and  in  drinks, 

10  And  divers  washings,  and  justices  of 
the  flesh  laid  on  them  until  the  time  of 
correction. 

1 1  But  Christ,  being  come  an  high  priest 
of  the  good  things  to  come,  by  a  greater 
and  more  perfect  tabernacle  not  made 
with  hand,  that  is,  not  of  this  creation : 

12  Neither  by  the  blood  of  goats,  or  of 
calves,  but  by  his  own  blood,  entered 
once  into  the  holies,  having  obtained 
eternal   redemption. 

13  For  if  the  blood  of  goats  and  of 
oxen,  and  the  ashes  of  an  heifer  being 
sprinkled,  sanctify  such  as  are  defiled,  to 
the  cleansing  of  the  flesh : 

14  How  much  more  shall  the  blood  of 
Christ,  who  by  the  Holy  Ghost  offered 
himself  unspotted  unto  God,  cleanse  our 
conscience  from  dead  works,  to  serve  the 
living  God? 

15  And  therefore  he  is  the  mediator  of 
the  new  testament:  that  by  means  of 
his  death,  for  the  redemption  of  those 
transgressions,  which  were  under  the 
former  testament,  they  that  are  called 
may  receive  the  promise  of  eternal  in- 
heritance. 

16  For  where  there  is  a  testament,  the 
death  of  the  testator  must  of  necessity 
come  in, 

17  For  a  testament  is  of  force,  after 
men  are  dead :  otherwise  it  is  as  yet  of  no 
strength,  whilst  the  testator  liveth. 

18  Whereupon  neither  was  the  first  in- 
deed dedicated  without  blood. 

19  For  when  every  commandment  of 
the  law  had  been  read  by  Moses  to  all 
the  people,  he  took  the  blood  of  calves 
and  goats,  with  water,  and  scarlet  wool 
and  hyssop,  and  sprinkled  both  the  book 
itself  and  all  the  people, 

20  Saying:  This  is  the  blood  of  the 
testament,  which  God  hath  enjoined  unto 
you. 

21  The  tabernacle  also  and  all  the  ves- 
sels of  the  ministry,  in  like  manner,  he 
sprinkled  with  blood.

purged  with  blood ;  and  without  shedding 
of  blood  is  no  remission. 

23  It  was  therefore  necessary  that  the 
patterns  of  things  in  the  heavens  should 
be  purified  with  these;  but  the  heavenly 
things  themselves  with  better  sacrifices 
than  these. 

24  For  Christ  is  not  entered  into  the 
holy  places  made  with  hands,  which  are 
the  figures  of  the  true ;  but  into  heaven 
itself,  now  to  appear  in  the  presence  of 
God  for  us : 

25  Nor  yet  that  he  should  offer  himself 
often,  as  the  high  priest  entereth  into  the 
holy  place  every  year  with  blood  of 
others ; 

26  For  then  must  he  often  have  suf- 
fered since  the  foundation  of  the  world : 
but  now  once  in  the  end  of  the  world  hath 
he  appeared  to  put  away  sin  by  the  sacri- 
fice of  himself. 

27  And  as  it  is  appointed  unto  men 
once  to  die,  but  after  this  the  judgment: 

28  So  Christ  was  once  offered  to  bear 
the  sins  of  many ;  and  unto  them  that  look 
for  him  shall  he  appear  the  second  time 
without  sin  unto  salvation. 


and  all  the  people,  20  saying.  This 
is  the  blood  of  the  covenant  which 
God  commanded  to  you-ward.  21 
Moreover  the  tabernacle  and  all  the 
vessels  of  the  ministry  he  sprinkled 
in  like  manner  with  the  blood. 
22  And  according  to  the  law,  I  may 
almost  say,  all  things  are  cleansed 
with  blood,  and  apart  from  shed- 
ding of  blood  there  is  no  remission. 
23  It  was  necessary  therefore  that 
the  copies  of  the  things  in  the 
heavens  should  be  cleansed  with 
these;  but  the  heavenly  things

pear before  the  face  of  God  for 
us :  25  nor  yet  that  he  should  offer 
himself  often;  as  the  high  priest 
entereth  into  the  holy  place  year 
by  year  with  blood  not  his  own ; 
26  else  must  he  often  have  suffered 
since  the  foundation  of  the  world : 
but  now  once  at  the  end  of  the 
ages  hath  he  been  manifested  to  put 
away  sin  by  the  sacrifice  of  him- 
self. 27  And  inasmuch  as  it  is  ap- 
pointed unto  men  once  to  die,  and 
after  this  conieth  judgement;  28  so 
Christ  also,  having  been  once  of- 
fered to  bear  the  sins  of  m.any,  shall 
appear  a  second  time,  apart  from 
sin,  to  them  that  wait  for  him,  unto 
salvation. 


CHAPTER  ID. 

FOR  the  law  having  a  shadow  of  good 
things  to  come,  and  not  the  very

sacrifices  which  they  offered  year  by  year 
continually  make  the  comers  thereunto 
perfect. 

2  For  then  would  they  not  have  ceased 
to  be  offered?  because  that  the  wor- 
shippers once  purged  should  have  had  no 
more  conscience  of  sins. 

3  But  in  those  sacrifices  there  is  a  re-

with  water  and  scarlet  wool  and

book  itself  and  all  the  people,  20

covenant  which  God  commanded  to 
you-ward.  21  Moreover  the  taber- 
nacle and  all  the  vessels  of  the

tilood  of  bulls  and  goats  should 
take     away     sins.       5     Wherefore 


22  And  almost  all  things,  according  to 
the  law,  are  cleansed  with  blood :  and 
without  shedding  of  blood  there  is  no  re- 
mission. 

23  It  is  necessary  therefore  that  the 
patterns  of  heavenly  things  should  be 
cleansed  with  these:  but  the  heavenly 
things  themselves  with  better  sacrifices 
than  these.

25  Nor  yet  that  he  should  offer  himself 
often,  as  the  high  priest  entereth  into 
the  holies,  every  year  with  the  blood  of 
others : 

26  For  then  he  ought  to  have  suffered 
often  from  the  beginning  of  the  world: 
but  now  once  at  the  end  of  ages,  he  hath 
appeared  for  the  destruction  of  sin,  by 
the  sacrifice  of  himself. 

27  And  as  it  is  appointed  unto  men 
once  to  die,  and  after  this  the  judgment: 

28  So  also  Christ  was  offered  once  to 
exhaust  the  sins  of  many;  the  second 
time  he  shall  appear  without  sin  to  them 
that  expect  him  unto  salvation. 


CHAPTER  10. 

FOR  the  law  having  a  shadow  of  the 
good  things  to  come,  not  the  very 
image  of  the  things;  by  the  selfsame 
sacrifices  which  they  offer  continually

sin  thou  hast  had  no  pleasure.

do   thy   will,    O   God.

for  sin  thou  wouldest  not,  neither  hadst

for  ever  them  that  are  sanctified.

Lord,  I  will  put  my  laws  into  their 
hearts,  and  in  their  minds  will  I  write 
them; 

17  And  their  sins  and  iniquities  will

After  those  days,  saith  the  Lord ; 
I    will    put    my    laws    on    their

right  hand  of  God;  13  henceforth 
expecting  till  his  enemies  be  made 
the  footstool  of  his  feet.  14  For 
by  one  offering  he  hath  perfected 
for  ever  them  that  are  sanctified. 

15  And  the  Holy  Spirit  also  bear- 
eth  witness  to  us;  for  after  he  hath 
said, 

16  This  is  the  covenant  that  I  will 

make  with  them 
After  those  days,  saith  the  Lord : 
I    will    put  •  my    laws    on    their 

heart. 
And  upon  their  mind  also  will  I 

write  them ; 
then  saith  he, 

17  And    their    sins    and    their    in- 

iquities   will    I    remember   no 
more. 

18  Now  where  remission  of  these 
is,  there  is  no  more  offering  for  sin. 

19  Having  therefore,  brethren, 
boldness  to  enter  into  the  holy 
place  by  the  blood  of  Jesus,  20  by 
the  way  which  he  dedicated  for 
us,  a  new  and  living  way,  through 
the  veil,  that  is  to  say,  his  flesh ; 
21  and  having  a  great  priest  over 


world,  he  saith:  Sacrifice  and  oblation 
thou  wouldest  not:  but  a  body  thou  hast 
fitted  to  me: 

6  Holocausts  for  sin  did  not  please 
thee. 

7  Then  said  I:  Behold  I  come:  in  the 
head  of  the  book  it  is  written  of  me:  that 
I  should  do  thy  will,  O  God. 

8  In  saying  before.  Sacrifices,  and  obla- 
tions, and  holocausts  for  sin  thou  would- 
est not,  neither  are  they  pleasing  to 
thee,  which  are  offered  according  to  the 
law. 

9  Then  said  I :  Behold,  I  come  to  do 
thy  will,  O  God:  he  taketh  away  the  first, 
that  he  may  establish  that  which  follow- 
eth. 

ID  In  the  which  will,  we  are  sanctified 
by  the  oblation  of  the  body  of  Jesus 
Christ  once. 

11  And  every  priest  indeed  standeth 
daily  ministering,  and  often  .offering  the 
same  sacrifices,  which  can  never  take 
away  sins. 

12  But  this  man  offering  one  sacrifice 
for  sins,  for  ever  sitteth  on  the  right 
hand  of  God, 

13  From  henceforth  expecting,  until 
his  enemies  be  made  his  footstool. 

14  For  by  one  oblation  he  hath  per- 
fected for  ever  them  that  are  sancti- 
fied. 

15  And  the  Holy  Ghost  also  doth 
testify  this  to  us.  For  after  that  he 
said: 

16  And  this  is  the  testament  which  I 
will  make  unto  them  after  those  days, 
saith  the  Lord.  I  will  give  my  laws  in 
their  hearts,  and  on  their  minds  will  I 
write  them: 

17  And  their  sins  and  iniquities  I  will 
remember  no  more. 

18  Now  where  there  is  a  remission  of 
these,  there  is  no  more  an  oblation  for 
sin. 

19  Having  therefore,  brethren,  a  confi- 
dence in  the  entering  into  the  holies  by 
the  blood  of  Christ ; 

20  A  new  and  living  way  which  he  hath 
dedicated  for  us  through  the  veil,  that  is 
to  say,  his  flesh, 

21  And  a  high  priest  over  the  house  of 
God: 

22  Let  us  draw  near  with  a  true  heart 
in  fulness  of  faith,  having  our  hearts 
sprinkled  from  an  evil  conscience, 
and  our  bodies  washed  with  clean 
water. 

23  Let  us  hold  fast  the  confession  of

our   faith   without   wavering;    (for   he   is 
faithful  that  promised;) 

24  And  let  us  consider  one  another  to 
provoke  unto  love  and  to  good  works : 

25  Not  forsaking  the  assembling  of  our- 
selves together,  as  the  manner  of  some 
is;  but  exhorting  one  another:  and  so 
much  the  more,  as  ye  see  the  day  ap- 
proaching. 

26  For  if  we  sin  wilfully  after  that  we 
have  received  the  knowledge  of  the  truth, 
there  remaineth  no  more  sacrifice  for 
sins, 

27  But  a  certain  fearful  looking  for 
of  judgment  and  fiery  indignation,  which 
shall  devour  the  adversaries. 

28  He  that  despised  Moses'  law  died 
without  mercy  under  two  or  three  wit- 
nesses : 

29  Of  how  much  sorer  punishment,  sup- 
pose ye,  shall  he  be  thought  worthy,  who 
hath  trodden  under  foot  the  Son  of  God, 
and  hath  counted  the  blood  of  the  cove- 
nant, wherewith  he  was  sanctified,  an  un- 
holy thing,  and  hath  done  despite  unto  the 
Spirit  of  grace? 

30  For  we  know  him  that  hath  said. 
Vengeance  belongeth  unto  me,  I  will 
recompense,  saith  the  Lx)rd.  And  again. 
The  Lord  shall  judge  his  people. 

31  It  is  a  fearful  thing  to  fall  into  the 
hands  of  the  living  God. 

32  But  call  to  remembrance  the  former 
days,  in  which,  after  ye  were  illumi- 
nated, ye  endured  a  great  fight  of  afflic- 
tions ; 

33  Partly,  whilst  ye  were  ,made  a  gaz- 
ingstock  both  by  reproaches  and  afflic- 
tions; and  partly,  whilst  ye  became 
companions  of  them  that  were  so 
used. 

34  For  ye  had  compassion  of  me  in  my 
bonds,  and  took  joyfully  the  spoiling  of 
your  goods,  knowing  in  yourselves  that 
ye  have  in  heaven  a  better  and  an  en- 
during substance. 

35  Cast  not  away  therefore  your  con- 
fidence, which  hath  great  recompence  of 
reward. 

36  For  ye  have  need  of  patience,  that, 
after  ye  have  done  the  will  of  God,  ye 
might  receive  the  promise. 

37  For  yet  a  little  while,  and  he  that 
shall  come  will  come,  and  will  not 
tarry. 

38  Now  the  just  shall  live  by  faith :  but 
if  any  man  draw  back,  my  soul  shall  have 
no  pleasure  in  him. 

39  But  we  are  not  of  them  who  draw 


a  true  heart  in  fulness  of  faith, 
having  our  hearts  sprinkled  from 
an  evil  conscience,  and  our  body 
washed  with  pure  water :  23  let  us 
hold  fast  the  confession  of  our  hope 
that  it  waver  not;  for  he  is  faith- 
ful that  promised :  24  and  let  us

proaches and  tribulations,  were  made  a 
gazingstock;  and  on  the  other,  became

such  sort. 

34  For  you  both  had  compassion  on 
them  that  were  in  bands,  and  took  with 
joy  the  being  stripped  of  your  own  goods,

the  worlds  were  framed  by  the  word  of 
God,  so  that  things  which  are  seen  were 
not  made  of  things  which  do  appear. 

4  By  faith  Abel  offered  unto  God  a 
more  excellent  sacrifice  than  Cain,  by 
which  he  obtained  witness  that  he  was 
righteous,  God  testifying  of  his  gifts :  and 
by  it  he  being  dead  yet  speaketh. 

5  By  faith  Enoch  was  translated  that 
he  should  not  see  death ;  and  was  not 
found,  because  God  had  translated  him : 
for  before  his  translation  he  had  this 
testimony,   that  he  pleased   God. 

6  But  without  faith  it  is  impossible  to 
please  him:  for  he  that  cometh  to  God 
must  believe  that  he  is,  and  that  he  is  a 
rewarder  of  them  that  diligently  seek  him. 

7  By  faith  Noah,  being  warned  of  God 
of  things  not  seen  as  yet,  moved  with 
fear,  prepared  an  ark  to  the  saving  of 
his  house ;  by  the  which  he  condemned 
the  world,  and  became  heir  of  the  right- 
eousness which  is  by  faith.

to  go  out  into  a  place  which  he  should 
after  receive  for  an  inheritance,  obeyed ;

foundations,  whose  builder  and  maker  is 
God.

witness  in  respect  of  his  gifts:  and 
through  it  he  being  dead  yet  speak-

lated that  he  should  not  see  death ; 
and  he  was  not  found,  because  God 
translated  him :  for  before  his  trans- 
lation he  hath  had  witness  borne  to 
him  that  he  had  been  well-pleasing 
unto  God :  6  and  without  faith  it  is 
impossible  to  be  well-pleasing  unto

him :  for  before  his  translation  he  had 
testimony  that  he  pleased  God. 

6  But  without  faith  it  is  impossible  to 
please  God.  For  he  that  cometh  to  God, 
must  believe  that  he  is,  and  is  a  re- 
warder  to  them  that  seek  him, 

7  By  faith  Noe,  having  received  an  an- 
swer concerning  those  things  which  as 
yet  were  not  seen,  moved  with  fear, 
framed  the  ark  for  the  saving  of  his 
house,  by  the  which  he  condemned  the 
world ;  and  was  instituted  heir  of  the 
justice  which  is  by  faith, 

8  By  faith  he  that  is  called  Abraham, 
obeyed  to  go  out  into  a  place  which  he 
was  to  receive  for  an  inheritance ;  and  he 
went  out,  not  knowing  whither  he  went. 

9  By  faith  he  abode  in  the  land,  dwell- 
ing in  cottages,  with  Isaac  and  Jacob, 
the  co-heirs  of  the  same  promise. 

10  For  he  looked  for  a  city  that  hath 
foundations ;  whose  builder  and  maker  is 
God. 

11  By  faith  also  Sara  herself,  being 
barren,  received  strength  to  conceive 
seed,  even  past  the  time  of  age ;  because 
she  believed  that  he  was  faithful  who 
had  promised.

age,  because  she  judged  him  faithful  who 
had  promised. 

12  Therefore  sprang  there  even  of  one, 
and  him  as  good  as  dead,  so  many  as  the 
stars  of  the  sky  in  multitude,  and  as  the 
sand  which  is  by  the  sea  shore  innumer- 
able. 

13  These  all  died  in  faith,  not  havmg 
received  the  promises,  but  having  seen 
them  afar  off,  and  were  persuaded  of 
them,  and  embraced  them,  and  confessed 
that  they  were  strangers  and  pilgrims  on 
the  earth. 

14  For  they  that  say  such  things  declare 
plainly  that  they  seek  a  country. 

15  And  truly,  if  they  had  been  mindful 
of  that  country  from  whence  they  came 
out,  they  might  have  had  opportunity  to 
have  returned. 

16  But  now  they  desire  a  better  country, 
that  is,  an  heavenly:  wherefore  God  is 
not  ashamed  to  be  called  their  God :  for 
he  hath  prepared  for  them  a  city. 

17  By  faith  Abraham,  when  he  was 
tried,  offered  up  Isaac:  and  he  that  had 
received  the  promises  offered  up  his  only 
begotten  son, 

18  Of  whom  it  was  said,  That  in  Isaac 
shall  thy  seed  be  called: 

19  Accounting  that  God  was  able  to 
raise  him  up,  even  from  the  dead;  from 
whence  also  he  received  him  in  a  figure. 

20  By  faith  Isaac  blessed  Jacob  and 
Esau  concerning  things  to  come. 

21  By  faith  Jacob,  when  he  was  a  dy- 
ing, blessed  both  the  sons  of  Joseph ;  and 
worshipped,  leaning  upon  the  top  of  his 
staff. 

22  By  faith  Joseph,  when  he  died,  made 
mention  of  the  departing  of  the  children 
of  Israel ;  and  gave  commandment  con- 
cerning his  bones. 

23  By  faith  Moses,  when  he  was  born, 
was  hid  three  months  of  his  parents,  be- 
cause they  saw  he  zvas  a  proper  child ; 
and  they  were  not  afraid  of  the  king's 
commandment. 

24  By  faith  Moses,  when  he  was  come 
to  years,  refused  to  be  called  the  son  of 
Pharaoh's  daughter ; 

25  Choosing  rather  to  suffer  affliction 
with  the  people  of  God,  than  to  enjoy  the 
pleasures  of  sin  for  a  season ; 

26  Esteeming  the  reproach  of  Christ 
greater  riches  than  the  treasures  in 
Egypt :  for  he  had  respect  unto  the  recom- 
pence  of  the  reward. 

27  By  faith  he  forsook  Egypt,  not  fear- 


whose   builder   and   maker   is   God. 

11  By  faith  even  Sarah  herself  re- 
ceived power  to  conceive  seed  when 
she  was  past  age,  since  she  counted 
him    faithful    who    had    promised : 

12  wherefore  also  there  sprang  of 
one,  and  him  as  good  as  dead,  so 
many  as  the  stars  of  heaven  in 
multitude,  and  as  the  sand,  which 
is  by  the  sea  shore,  innumerable. 

13  These  all  died  in  faith,  not 
having  received  the  promises,  but 
having  seen  them  and  greeted  them 
from  afar,  and  having  confessed 
that  they  were  strangers  and  pil- 
grims on  the  earth.  14  For  they 
that  say  such  things  make  it  mani- 
fest that  they  are  seeking  after  a 
country' of  their  own.  15  And  if 
indeed  they  had  been  mindful  of 
that  country  from  which  they  went 
out,  they  would  have  had  oppor- 
tunity to  return.  16  But  now  they 
desire  a  better  country,  that  is,  a 
heavenly :  wherefore  God  is  not 
ashamed  of  them,  to  be  called  their

17  By  faith  Abraham,  being 
tried,  offered  up  Isaac :  yea,  he  that 
had  gladly  received  the  promises 
was  offering  up  his  only  begotten 
son;  18  even  he  to  whom  it  was 
said,  In  Isaac  shall  thy  seed  be 
called:  19  accounting  that  God  is 
able  to  raise  up,  even  from  the 
dead ;  from  whence  he  did  also  in 
a  parable  receive  him  back.  20  By 
faith  Isaac  blessed  Jacob  and  Esau, 
even  concerning  things  to  come. 
21  By  faith  Jacob,  when  he  was  a 
dying,  blessed  each  of  the  sons  of 
Joseph ;  and  worshipped,  leaning 
upon  the  top  of  his  staff.  22  By 
faith  Joseph,  when  his  end  was 
nigh,  made  mention  of  the  departure 
of  the  children  of  Israel ;  and  gave 
commandment  concerning  his  bones. 

23  By  faith  Moses,  when  he  was 
born,  was  hid  three  months  by  his 
parents,  because  they  saw  he  was 
a  goodly  child ;  and  they  were  not 
afraid  of  the  king's  commandment. 

24  By  faith  Moses,  when  he  was 
grown  up,  refused  to  be  called  the 
son  of  Pharaoh's  daughter;  25 
choosing  rather  to  be  evil  entreated 
with  the  people  of  God,  than  to  en- 
joy, the  pleasures  of  sin  for  a  sea-

even  Sarah  herself  received  power 
to  conceive  seed  when  she  was

the  stars  of  heaven  in  multitude,  and  as

numerable. 

13  All  these  died  according  to  faith,  not 
having  received  the  promises,  but  behold- 
ing them  afar  off,  and  saluting  them,  and 
confessing  that  they  are  pilgrims  and 
strangers  on  the  earth.

to  say,  a  heavenly  country.  Therefore 
God  is  not  ashamed  to  be  called  their

ceived the  promises,  offered  up  his  only 
begotten  son ;

shall  thy  seed  be  called.) 

19  Accounting  that  God  is  able  to  raise 
up  even  from  the  dead.  Whereupon  also 
he  received  him  for  a  parable. 

20  By  faith  also  of  things  to  come, 
Isaac  blessed  Jacob  and  Esau. 

21  By  faith  Jacob  dying,  blessed  each 
of  the  sons  of  Joseph,  and  adored  the 
top  of  his  rod. 

22  By  faith  Joseph,  when  he  was  dying, 
made  mention  of  the  going  out  of  the 
children  of  Israel;  and  gave  command- 
ment concerning  his  bones. 

23  By  faith  Moses,  when  he  was  born, 
was  hid  three  months  by  his  parents; 
because  they  saw  he  was  a  comely  babe, 
and  they  feared  not  the  king's  edict. 

24  By  faith  Moses,  when  he  was 
grown  up,  denied  himself  to  be  the  son 
of  Pharao's  daughter; 

25  Rather  choosing  to  be  afflicted  with 
the  people  of  God,  than  to  have  the 
pleasure  of  sin  for  a  time,

Egyptians.  For  he  looked  unto  the  re-

destroyed  the  firstborn  should  touch  them.

6  For  whom  the  Lord  loveth  he  chasten- 
eth,  and  scourgeth  every  son  whom  he 
receiveth. 

7  If  ye  endure  chastening,  God  deal- 
eth  with  you  as  with  sons;  for  what 
son  is  he  whom  the  father  chasteneth 
not? 

8  But  if  ye  be  without  chastisement, 
whereof  all  are  partakers,  then  are  ye 
bastards,  and  not  sons. 

9  Furthermore  we  have  had  fathers  of 
our  flesh  which  corrected  us,  and  we  gave 
them  reverence:  shall  we  not  much  rather 
be  in  subjection  unto  the  Father  of  spirits, 
and  live? 

10  For  they  verily  for  a  few  days  chas- 
tened us  after  their  own  pleasure ;  but 
he  for  our  profit,  that  we  might  be  par- 
takers of  his  holiness. 

11  Now  no  chastening  for  the  present 
seemeth  to  be  joyous,  but  grievous:  nev- 
ertheless afterward  it  yieldeth  the  peace- 
able fruit  of  righteousness  unto  them 
which  are  exercised  thereby. 

12  Wherefore  lift  up  the  hands  which 
hang  down,  and  the  feeble  knees; 

13  And  make  straight  paths  for  your 
feet,  lest  that  which  is  lame  be  turned  out 
of  the  way;  but  let  it  rather  be  healed. 

14  Follow  peace  with  all  men,  and  holi- 
ness, without  which  no  man  shall  see  the 
Lord:

his  father  chasteneth  not?    8  But  if 
ye  are  without  chastening,  whereof

THEREFORE  let  us  also, 
seeing  we  are  compassed 
about  with  so  great  a  cloud  of  wit-

the  sin  which  doth  so  easily  beset

chastening  of  the  Lord, 
Nor    faint    when    thou    art    re-

CHAPTER  12. 

AND  therefore  we  also  having  so 
great  a  cloud  of  witnesses  over 
our  head,  laying  aside  every  weight 
and  sin  which  surrounds  us,  let  us 
run  by  patience  to  the  fight  proposed 
to  us: 

2  Looking  on  Jesus,  the  author  and  fin- 
isher of  faith,  who  having  joy  set  before 
him,  endured  the  cross,  despising  the 
shame,  and  now  sitteth  on  the  right  hand 
of  the  throne  of  God. 

3  For  think  diligently  upon  him  that 
endured  such  opposition  from  sinners 
against  himself;  that  you  be  not  wearied, 
fainting  in  your  minds. 

4  For  you  have  not  yet  resisted  unto 
blood,  striving  against  sin : 

5  And  you  have  forgotten  the  consola- 
tion, which  speaketh  to  you,  as  unto  chil- 
dren, saying :  My  son,  neglect  not  the  dis- 
cipline of  the  Lord;  neither  be  thou 
wearied  whilst  thou  art  rebuked  by 
him. 

6  For  whom  the  Lord  loveth,  he 
chastiseth;  and  he  scourgeth  every  son 
whom  he  receiveth. 

7  Persevere  under  discipline.  God  deal- 
eth with  you  as  with  his  son;  for  what 
son  is  there,  whom  the  father  doth  not 
correct?  ' 

8  But  if  you  be  without  chastisement, 
whereof  all  are  made  partakers,  then  are 
you  bastards,  and  not  sons. 

9  Moreover  we  have  had  fathers  of  our 
flesh,  for  instructors,  and  we  reverenced 
them :  shall  we  not  much  more  obey  the 
Father  of  spirits,  and  live? 

10  And  they  indeed  for  a  few  days,  ac- 
cording to  their  own  pleasure,  instructed 
us:  but  he,  for  our  profit,  that  we  might 
receive  his  sanctification. 

11  Now  all  chastisement  for  the  pres- 
ent indeed  seemeth  not  to  bring  with 
it  joy,  but  sorrow:  but  afterwards  it 
will  yield,  to  them  that  are  exercised 
by  it,  the  most  peaceable  fruit  of  jus- 
tice. 

12  Wherefore  lift  up  the  hands  which 
hang  down,  and  the  feeble  knees, 

13  And  make  straight  steps  with  your 
feet:  that  no  one,  halting,  may  go  out  of 
the  way ;  but  rather  be  healed. 

14  Follow  peace  with  all  men,  and 
holiness:  without  which  no  man  shall  see

17  For  ye  know  how  that  afterward, 
when  he  would  have  inherited  the  bless- 
ing, he  was  rejected:  for  he  found  no

voice  of  words ;  which  voice  they  that

which  was  commanded,  And  if  so  much

ble company  of  angels,

of  the  firstborn,  which  are  written  in 
heaven,  and  to  God  the  Judge  of  all,  and 
to  the  spirits  of  just  men  made  per- 
fect, 

24  And  to  Jesus  the  mediator  of  the 
new  covenant,  and  to  the  blood  of  sprink- 
ling, that  speaketh  better  things  than  that 
of  Abel. 

25  See  that  ye  refuse  not  him  that 
speaketh.  For  if  they  escaped  not  who 
refused  him  that  spake  on  earth,  much 
more  shall  not  we  escape,  if  we  turn 
away  from  him  that  speaketh  from 
heaven : 

26  Whose  voice  then  shook  the  earth: 
but  now  he  hath  promised,  saying,  Yet 
once  more  I  shake  not  the  earth  only,  but 
also  heaven. 

27  And  this  word,  Yet  once  more,  sig- 
nifieth  the  removing  of  those  things  that 
are  shaken,  as  of  things  that  are  made, 
that  those  things  which  cannot  be  shaken 
may  remain. 

28  Wherefore  we  receiving  a  kingdom 
which  cannot  be  moved,  let  us  have  grace, 
whereby  we  may  serve  God  acceptably 
with  reverence  and  godly  fear: 


which  no  man  shall  see  the  Lord:

any  man  that  falleth  short  of  the 
grace  of  God ;  lest  any  root  of  bit- 
terness springing  up  trouble  you, 
and   thereby   the   many   be    defiled ; 

16  lest  there  be  any  fornicator,  or 
profane  person,  as  Esau,  who  for 
one  mess  of  meat  sold  his  own 
birthright.  17  For  ye  know  that 
even  when  he  afterward  desired  to 
inherit  the  blessing,  he  was  rejected 
(for  he  found  no  place  of  re- 
pentance), though  he  sought  it  dili- 
gently with  tears. 

18  For  ye  are  not  come  unto  a

blackness,  and  darkness,  and  tem- 
pest, 19  and  the  sound  of  a  trumpet,

CHAPTER  13. 

LET  brotherly  love  continue. 
2     Be     not     forgetful     to     entertain 
strangers:   for  thereby   some  have  enter- 
tained angels  unawares. 

3  Remember  them  that  are  in  bonds,  as 
bound  with  them;  and  them  which  suffer 
adversity,  as  being  yourselves  also  in  the 
body. 

4  Marriage  is  honourable  in  all,  and 
the  bed  undefiled :  but  whoremongers  and 
adulterers  God  will  judge. 

5  Let  your  conversation  be  without  cov- 
etousness ;  and  be  content  with  such 
things  as  ye  have :  for  he  hath  said,  I  will 
never  leave  thee,  nor  forsake  thee. 

6  So  that  we  may  boldly  say,  The  Lord 
is  my  helper,  and  I  will  not  fear  what  man 
shall  do  unto  me. 

7  Remember  them  which  have  the  rule 
over  you,  who  have  spoken  unto  you  the 
word  of  God:  whose  faith  follow,  con- 
sidering the  end  of  their  conversation. 

8  Jesus  Christ  the  same  yesterday,  and 
to  day,  and  for  ever. 

9  Be  not  carried  about  with  divers  and 
strange  doctrines.  For  it  is  a  good  thing 
that  the  heart  be  established  with  grace; 
not  with  meats,  which  have  not  profited 
them  that  have  been  occupied  therein. 

10  We  have  an  altar,  whereof  they  have 
no  right  to  eat  which  serve  the  taber- 
nacle. 

1 1  For  the  bodies  of  those  beasts,  whose 
blood  is  brought  into  the  sanctuary  by 
the  high  priest  for  sin,  are  burned  without 
the  camp. 

12  Wherefore  Jesus  also,  that  he  might 
sanctify  the  people  with  his  own  blood, 
suffered  without  the  gate. 

13  Let  us  go  forth  therefore  unto  him

have  no  right  to  eat  which  serve

2  And  hospitality  do  not  forget;  for 
by  this  some,  being  not  aware  of  it,

Lord  is  my  helper:  I  will  not  fear  what 
man  shall  do  to  me.

9  Be  not  led  away  with  various  and

heart  be  established  with  grace,  not  with

3  Knowing  this,  that  the  trying  of  your 
faith  worketh  patience. 

4  But  let  patience  have  her  perfect 
work,  that  ye  may  be  perfect  and  entire, 
wanting  nothing. 

5  If  any  of  you  lack  wisdom,  let  him 
ask  of  God,  that  giveth  to  all  men  lib- 
erally, and  upbraideth  not;  and  it  shall 
be  given  him. 

6  But  let  him  ask  in  faith,  nothing 
wavering.  For  he  that  wavereth  is  like 
a  wave  of  the  sea  driven  with  the  wind 
and  tossed. 

7  For  let  not  that  man  think  that  he 
shall  receive  any  thing  of  the  Lord. 

8  A  double  minded  man  is  unstable  in 
all  his  ways. 

9  Let  the  brother  of  low  degree  rejoice 
in  that  he  is  exalted : 

10  But  the  rich,  in  that  he  is  made 
low :  because  as  the  flower  of  the  grass 
he  shall  pass  away. 

11  For  the  sun  is  no  sooner  risen  with 
a  burning  heat,  but  it  withereth  the  grass, 
and  the  flower  thereof  falleth,  and  the 
grace  of  the  fashion  of  it  perisheth :  so 
also  shall  the  rich  man  fade  away  in  his 
ways. 

12  Blessed  is  the  man  that  endureth 
temptation:  for  when  he  is  tried,  he  shall 
receive  the  crown  of  life,  which  the  Lord 
hath  promised  to  them  that  love  him. 

13  Let  no  man  say  when  he  is  tempted, 
I  am  tempted  of  God :  for  God  cannot 
be  tempted  with  evil,  neither  tempteth  he 
any  man: 

14  But  every  man  is  tempted,  when  he 
is  drawn  away  of  his  own  lust,  and  en- 
ticed. 

15  Then  when  lust  hath  conceived,  it 
bringeth  forth  sin:  and  sin,  when  it  is 
finished,  bringeth  forth  death. 

16  Do  not  err,  my  beloved  brethren. 

17  Every  good  gift  and  every  perfect 
gift  is  from  above,  and  cometh  down  from 
the  Father  of  lights,  with  whom  is  no 
variableness,  neither  shadow  of  turning. 

18  Of  his  own  will  begat  he  us  with  the 
word  of  truth,  that  we  should  be  a  kind 
of  firstfruits  of  his  creatures. 

19  Wherefore,  my  beloved  brethren,  let 
every  man  be  swift  to  hear,  slow  to  speak, 
slow  to  wrath: 

20  For  the  wrath  of  man  worketh  not 
the  righteousness  of  God. 

21  Wherefore  lay  apart  all  filthiness  and 
superfluity  of  naughtiness,  and  receive 
with  meekness  the  engrafted  word,  which 
is  able  to  save  your  souls. 


let  patience  have  its  perfect  work, 
that  ye  may  be  perfect  and  entire, 
lacking  in  nothing. 

5  But  if  any  of  you  lacketh  wis- 
dom, let  him  ask  of  God,  who  giv- 
eth to  all  liberally  and  upbraideth 
not;  and  it  shall  be  given  him. 
6  But  let  him  ask  in  faith,  nothing 
doubting:  for  he  that  doubteth  is 
like  the  surge  of  the  sea  driven  by 
the  wind  and  tossed.  7  For  let  not 
that  man  think  that  he  shall  receive 
anything  of  the  Lord;  8  a  double- 
minded  man,  unstable  in  all  his 
ways, 

9  But  let  the  brother  of  low  de- 
gree glory  in  his  high  estate :  10  and 
the  rich,  in  that  he  is  made  low : 
because  as  the  flower  of  the  grass 
he  shall  pass  away.  11  For  the  sun 
ariseth  with  the  scorching  wind, 
and  withereth  the  grass;  and  the 
flower  thereof  falleth,  and  the  grace 
of  the  fashion  of  it  perisheth:  so 
also  shall  the  rich  man  fade  away 
in  his  goings. 

12  Blessed  is  the  man  that  en- 
dureth temptation:  for  when  he 
hath  been  approved,  he  shall  receive 
the  crown  of  life,  which  the  Lord 
promised  to  them  that  love  him.  13 
Let  no  man  say  when  he  is  tempted, 
I  am  tempted  of  God:  for  God 
cannot  be  tempted  with  evil,  and  he 
himself  tempteth  no  man:  14  but 
each  man  is  tempted,  when  he  is 
drawn  away  by  his  own  lust,  and 
enticed.  15  Then  the  lust,  when  it 
hath  conceived,  beareth  sin :  and  the 
sin,  when  it  is  full-grown,  bringeth 
forth  death.  16  Be  not  deceived,  my 
beloved  brethren.  17  Every  good 
gift  and  every  perfect  boon  is  from 
above,  coming  down  from  the  Fa- 
ther of  lights,  with  whom  can  be 
no  variation,  neither  shadow  that  is 
cast  by  turning.  18  Of  his  own  will 
he  brought  us  forth  by  the  word 
of  truth,  that  we  should  be  a  kind 
of  firstfruits  of  his  creatures. 

19  Ye  know  this,  my  beloved 
brethren.  But  let  every  man  be 
swift  to  hear,  slow  to  speak,  slow 
to  wrath:  20  for  the  wrath  of  man 
worketh  not  the  righteousness  of 
God.  21  Wherefore  putting  away 
all  filthiness  and  overflowing  of 
wickedness,  receive  with  meekness

thereof  falleth,  and  the  grace  of  the 
fashion  of  it  perisheth :  so  also  shall 
the  rich  man  fade  away  in  his  go- 
ings. 

12  Blessed  is  the  man  that  endur- 
eth  temptation;  for  when  he  hath 
been  approved,  he  shall  receive  the 
crown  of  life,  which  the  Lord  prom- 
ised to  them  that  love  him.  13  Let 
no  man  say  when  he  is  tempted, 
I  am  tempted  of  God ;  for  God  can- 
not be  tempted  with  evil,  and  he 
himself  tempteth  no  man :  14  but 
each  man  is  tempted,  when  he  is 
drawn  away  by  his  own  lust,  and 
enticed.  15  Then  the  lust,  when  it 
hath  conceived,  beareth  sin :  and  the 
sin,  when  it  is  full-grown,  bringeth 
forth  death.  16  Be  not  deceived, 
my  beloved  brethren.  17  Every 
good  gift  and  every  perfect  gift  is 
from  above,  coming  down  from  the 
Father  of  lights,  with  whom  can  be 
no  variation,  neither  shadow  that  is 
cast  by  turning.  18  Of  his  own 
will  he  brought  us  forth  by  the 
word  of  truth,  that  we  should  be 
a  kind  of  firstfruits  of  his  crea- 
tures. 

19  Ye  know  this,  my  beloved 
brethren.  But  let  every  man  be 
swift  to  hear,  slow  to  speak,  slow 
to  wrath :  20  for  the  wrath  of  man 
worketh  not  the  righteousness  of 
God.  21  Wherefore  putting  away 
all  filthiness  and  overflowing  of 
wickedness,  receive  with  meekness 
the  implanted  word,  which  is  able  to 


3  Knowing  that  the  trying  of  your  faith 
worketh  patience. 

4  And  patience  hath  a  perfect  work; 
that  you  may  be  perfect  and  entire,  fail- 
ing in  nothing. 

5  But  if  any  of  you  want  wisdom,  let 
him  ask  of  God,  who  giveth  to  all  men 
abundantly,  and  upbraideth  not;  and  it 
shall  be  given  him. 

6  But  let  him  ask  in  faith,  nothing 
wavering.  For  he  that  wavereth  is  like 
a  wave  of  the  sea,  which  is  moved  and 
carried  about  by  the  wind. 

7  Therefore  let  not  that  man  think  that 
he  shall  receive  any  thing  of  the  Lord. 

8  A  double  minded  man  is  inconstant  in 
all  his  ways. 

9  But  let  the  brother  of  low  condition 
glory  in  his  exaltation : 

10  And  the  rich,  in  his  being  low;  be- 
cause as  the  flower  of  the  grass  shall  he 
pass  away. 

11  For  the  sun  rose  with  a  burning  heat, 
and  parched  the  grass,  and  the  flower 
thereof  fell  ofl^,  and  the  beauty  of  the 
shape  thereof  perished :  so  also  shall  the 
rich  man  fade  away  in  his  ways. 

12  Blessed  is  the  man  that  endureth 
temptation ;  for  when  he  hath  been 
proved,  he  shall  receive  the  crown  of  life, 
which  God  hath  promised  to  them  that 
love  him. 

13  Let  no  man,  when  he  is  tempted,  say 
that  he  is  tempted  by  God.  For  God  is 
not  a  tempter  of  evils,  and  he  tempteth 
no  man. 

14  But  every  man  is  tempted  by  his 
own  concupiscence,  being  drawn  away  and 
allured. 

15  Then  when  concupiscence  hath  con- 
ceived, it  bringeth  forth  sin.  But  sin, 
when  it  is  completed,  begetteth  death. 

16  Do  not  err,  therefore,  my  dearest 
brethren. 

17  Every  best  gift,  and  every  per- 
fect gift,  is  from  above,  coming  down 
from  the  Father  of  lights,  with  whom 
there  is  no  change,  nor  shadow  of  alter- 
ation. 

18  For  of  his  own  will  hath  he  begotten 
us  by  the  word  of  truth,  that  we  might 
be  some  beginning  of  his  creature. 

19  You  know,  my  dearest  brethren. 
And  let  every  man  be  swift  to  hear,  but 
slow  to  speak,  and  slow  to  anger. 

20  For  the  anger  of  man  worketh  not 
the  justice  of  God.

rich  in  faith,  and  heirs  of  the  kingdom

guilty   of   all. 

11  For  he  that  said,  Do  not  commit 
adultery,  said  also.  Do  not  kill.  Now  if 
thou  commit  no  adultery,  yet  if  thou  kill, 
thou  art  become  a  transgressor  of  the

12  So  speak  ye,  and  so  do,  as  they  that

mercy,  that  hath  shewed  no  mercy;  and 
mercy  rejoiceth  against  judgment.

notwithstanding  ye  give  them  not  those 
things  which  are  needful  to  the  body; 
what  doth  it  profit? 

17  Even  so  faith,  if  it  hath  not  works,

18  Yea,  a  man  may  say.  Thou  hast  faith, 
and  I  have  works :  shew  me  thy  faith 
without  thy  works,  and  I  will  shew  thee 
my  faith  by  my  works. 

19  Thou  believest  that  there  is  one  God ; 
thou  doest  well :  the  devils  also  believe, 
and  tremble. 

20  But  wilt  thou  know,  O  vain  man, 
that  faith  without  works  is  dead? 

21  Was  not  Abraham  our  father  justi-

saith,  Abraham  believed  God,  and  it  was 
imputed  unto  him  for  righteousness :  and 
he  was  called  the  Friend  of  God. 

24  Ye  see  then  how  that  by  works  a 
man  is  justified,  and  not  by  faith  only. 

25  Likewise  also  was  not  Rahab  the 
harlot  justified  by  works,  when  she  had 
received  the  messengers,  and  had  sent 
them  out  another  way?

whosoever  shall  keep  the  whole  law,

that  said.  Do  not  commit  adultery,

dost  not  commit  adultery,  but  kill- 
est,  thou  art  become  a  transgressor 
of  the  law.  12  So  speak  ye,  and  so 
do,  as  men  that  are  to  be  judged 
by  a  law  of  liberty.  13  For  judge- 
ment is  without  mercy  to  him  that 
hath  shewed  no  mercy :  mercy  glori- 
eth  against  judgement. 

14  What  doth  it  profit,  my  breth-

but  have  not  works?  can  that  faith

Go  in  peace,  be  ye  warmed  and

if  it  have  not  works,  is  dead  in 
itself.  18  Yea,  a  man  will  say.  Thou

me  thy  faith  apart  from  thy  works, 
and  I  by  my  works  will  shew  thee

God  is  one ;  thou  doest  well :  the

Abraham  believed  God,  and  it  was 
reckoned  unto  him  for  righteous- 
ness ;  and  he  was  called  the  friend 
of  God.  24  Ye  see  that  by  works 
a  man  is  justified,  and  not  only  by 
faith.  25  And  in  like  manner  was 
not  also  Rahab  the  harlot  justified 
by  works,  in  that  she  received  the 
messengers,  and  sent  them  out  an- 
other way?  26  For  as  the  body 
apart  from  the  spirit  is  dead,  even 
so  faith  apart  from  works  is  dead. 


you   commit   sin,   being   reproved  by   the 
law  as  transgressors. 

10  And  whosoever  shall  keep  the  whole 
law,  but  offend  in  one  point,  is  become 
guilty  of  all. 

11  For  he  that  said,  Thou  shalt  not  com- 
mit adultery,  said  also,  Thou  shalt  not 
kill.  Now  if  thou  do  not  commit  adul- 
tery, but  shalt  kill,  thou  art  become  a 
transgressor  of  the  law. 

12  So  speak  ye,  and  so  do,  as  being  to 
be  judged  by  the  law  of  liberty. 

13  For  judgment  without  mercy  to  him 
that  hath  not  done  mercy.  And  mercy 
exalteth  itself  above  judgment. 

14  What  shall  it  profit,  my  brethren,  if 
a  man  say  he  hath  faith,  but  hath  not 
works?     Shall  faith  be  able  to  save  him? 

15  And  if  a  brother  or  sister  be  naked, 
and  want  daily  food : 

16  And  one  of  you  say  to  them :  Go  in 
peace,  be  ye  warmed  and  filled;  yet  give 
them  not  those  things  that  are  neces- 
sary for  the  body,  what  shall  it  profit? 

17  So  faith  also,  if  it  have  not  works,  is 
dead  in  itself. 

18  But  some  man  will  say:  Thou  hast 
faith,  and  I  have  works :  shew  me  thy 
faith  without  works ;  and  I  will  shew  thee, 
by  works,  my  faith. 

19  Thou  believest  that  there  is  one  God. 
Thou  dost  well :  the  devils  also  believe 
and  tremble. 

20  But  wilt  thou  know,  O  vain  man, 
that  faith  without  works  is  dead? 

21  Was  not  Abraham  our  father  justi- 
fied by  works,  offering  up  Isaac  his  son 
upon  the  altar? 

22  Seest  thou,  that  faith  did  co-operate 
with  his  works;  and  by  works  faith  was 
made  perfect? 

23  And  the  scripture  was  fulfilled,  say- 
ing: Abraham  believed  God,  and  it  was 
reputed  to  him  to  justice,  and  he  was 
called  the  friend  of  God. 

24  Do  you  see  that  by  works  a  man  is 
justified;  and  not  by  faith  only? 

25  And  in  like  manner  also  Rahab  the 
harlot,  was  not  she  justified  by  works, 
receiving  the  messengers,  and  sending 
them  out  another  way? 

26  For  even  as  the  body  without  the 
spirit  is  dead;  so  also  faith  without  works 
is  dead.

CHAPTER  3. 

MY    brethren,    be    not    many    masters, 
knowing  that  we  shall   receive  the 
greater  condemnation. 

2  For  in  many  things  we  offend  all.  If 
any  man  offend  not  in  word,  the  same  is 
a  perfect  man,  and  able  also  to  bridle  the 
whole  body. 

3  Behold,  we  put  bits  in  the  horses* 
mouths,  that  they  may  obey  us ;  and  we 
turn  about  their  whole  body. 

4  Behold  also  the  ships,  which  though 
they  be  so  great,  and  are  driven  of  fierce 
winds,  yet  are  they  turned  about  with  a 
very  small  helm,  whithersoever  the  gov- 
ernor listeth. 

5  Even  so  the  tongue  is  a  little  member, 
and  boasteth  great  things.  Behold,  how 
great  a  matter  a  little  fire  kindleth ! 

6  And  the  tongue  is  a  fire,  a  world  of 
iniquity:  so  is  the  tongue  among  our 
members,  that  it  defileth  the  whole  body, 
and  setteth  on  fire  the  course  of  nature; 
and  it  is  set  on  fire  of  hell. 

7  For  every  kind  of  beasts,  and  of  birds, 
and  of  serpents,  and  of  things  in  the  sea, 
is  tamed,  and  hath  been  tamed  of  man- 
kind : 

8  But  the  tongue  can  no  man  tame;  it 
is  an  unruly  evil,  full  of  deadly  poi- 
son. 

9  Therewith  bless  we  God,  even  the 
Father;  and  therewith  curse  we  men, 
which  are  made  after  the  similitude  of 
God. 

10  Out  of  the  same  mouth  proceedeth 
blessing  and  cursing.  My  brethren,  these 
things  ought  not  so  to  be. 

11  Doth  a  fountain  send  forth  at  the 
same  place  sweet  water  and  bitter? 

12  Can  the  fig  tree,  my  brethren,  bear 
olive  berries?  either  a  vine,  figs?  so  can 
no  fountain  both  yield  salt  water  and 
fresh. 

13  Who  is  a  wise  man  and  endued  with 
knowledge  among  you?  let  him  shew  out 
of  a  good  conversation  his  works  with 
meekness  of  wisdom. 

14  But  if  ye  have  bitter  envying  and 
strife  in  your  hearts,  glory  not,  and  lie 
not  against  the  truth. 

15  This  wisdom  descendeth  not  from 
above,  but  is  earthly,  sensual,  devilish. 

16  For  where  envying  and  strife  is, 
there  is  confusion  and  every  evil  work.

any  man  offend  not  in  word,  the  same  is

3  For  if  we  put  bits  into  the  mouths  of 
horses,  that  they  may  obey  us,  and  we 
turn  about  their  whole  body. 

4  Behold  also  ships,  whereas  they  are 
great,  and  are  driven  by  strong  winds, 
yet  are  they  turned  about  with  a  small 
helm,  whithersoever  the  force  of  the  gov- 
ernor willeth, 

5  Even  so  the  tongue  is  indeed  a  little 
member,  and  boasteth  great  things.  Be- 
hold how  small  a  fire  kindleth  a  great 
wood. 

6  And  the  tongue  is  a  fire,  a  world  of 
iniquity.  The  tongue  is  placed  among 
our  members,  which  defileth  the  whole 
body,  and  inflameth  the  wheel  of  our 
nativity,  being  set  on  fire  by  hell. 

7  For  every  nature  of  beasts,  and  of 
birds,  and  of  serpents,  and  of  the  rest,  is

of  man :

12  Can  the  fig  tree,  my  brethren,  bear 
grapes;  or  the  vine,  figs?  So  neither  can 
the  salt  water  yield  sweet. 

13  Who  is  a  wise  man,  and  endued  with 
knowledge  among  you?  Let  him  shew, 
by  a  good  conversation,  his  work  in  the 
meekness  of  wisdom.

lusteth  to  envy?

law,  but  a  judge.

18  And  the  fruit  of  justice  is  sown  in 
peace,  to  them  that  make  peace. 

CHAPTER  4. 

FROM  whence  are  wars  and  conten- 
tions among  you?  Are  they  not 
hence,  from  your  concupiscences,  which 
war  in  your  members? 

2  You  covet,  and  have  not :  you  kill,  and 
envy,  and  can  not  obtain.  You  contend 
and  war,  and  you  have  not,  because  you 
ask  not. 

3  You  ask,  and  receive  not ;  because  you 
ask  amiss :  that  you  may  consume  it  on 
your  concupiscences. 

4  Adulterers,  know  you  not  that  the 
friendship  of  this  world  is  the  enemy  of 
God?  Whosoever  therefore  will  be  a 
friend  of  this  world,  becometh  an  enemy 
of  God. 

5  Or  do  you  think  that  the  scripture 
saith  in  vain :  To  envy  doth  the  spirit 
covet  which  dwelleth  in  you? 

6  But  he  giveth  greater  grace.  Where- 
fore he  saith:  God  resisteth  the  proud, 
and  giveth  grace  to  the  humble. 

7  Be  subject  therefore  to  God,  but 
resist  the  devil,  and  he  will  fly  from 
you. 

8  Draw  nigh  to  God,  and  he  will  draw 
nigh  to  you.  Cleanse  your  hands,  ye  sin- 
ners:  and  purify  your  hearts,  ye  double 
minded. 

9  Be  afflicted,  and  mourn,  and  weep: 
let  your  laughter  be  turned  into  mourn- 
ing, and  your  joy  into  sorrow. 

10  Be  humbled  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
and  he  will  exalt  you. 

11  Detract  not  one  another,  my  breth- 
ren. He  that  detracteth  his  brother,  or 
he  that  judgeth  his  brother,  detracteth 
the  law,  and  judgeth  the  law.  But  if 
thou  judge  the  law,  thou  art  not  a  doer 
of  the  law,  but  a  judge. 

12  There  is  one  lawgiver,  and  judge, 
that  is  able  to  destroy  and  to  deliver. 

13  But  who  art  thou  that  judgest  thy 
neighbour?  Behold,  now  you  that  say: 
To  day  or  to  morrow  we  will  go  into  such 
a  city,  and  there  we  will  spend  a  year, 
and  will  traffic,  and  make  our  gain. 

14  Whereas  you  know  not  what  shall 
be  on  the  morrow. 

15  For  what  is  your  life?  It  is  a  vapour 
which  appeareth  for  a  little  while,  and 
afterwards  shall  vanish  away.     For  that

ings :  all  such  rejoicing  is  evil. 

17  Therefore  to  him  that  knoweth  to 
do  good,  and  doeth  it  not,  to  him  it  is  sin. 


CHAPTER  5. 

GO   to   now,   ye   rich   men,   weep   and 
howl    for    your    miseries    that    shall 
come  upon  you. 

2  Your  riches  are  corrupted,  and  your 
garments  are  motheaten. 

3  Your  gold  and  silver  is  cankered ;  and 
the  rust  of  them  shall  be  a  witness  against 
you,  and  shall  eat  your  flesh  as  it  were 
fire.  Ye  have  heaped  treasure  together 
for  the  last  days. 

4  Behold,  the  hire  of  the  labourers  who 
have  reaped  down  your  fields,  which  is 
of  you  kept  back  by  fraud,  crieth :  and 
the  cries  of  them  which  have  reaped  are 
entered  into  the  ears  of  the  Lord  of 
sabaoth. 

5  Ye  have  lived  in  pleasure  on  the  earth, 
and  been  wanton ;  ye  have  nourished  your 
hearts,  as  in  a  day  of  slaughter. 

6  Ye  have  condemned  and  killed  the 
just;  and  he  doth  not  resist  you. 

7  Be  patient  therefore,  brethren,  unto 
the  coming  of  the  Lord.  Behold,  the  hus- 
bandman waiteth  for  the  precious  fruit  of 
the  earth,  and  hath  long  patience  for  it, 
until  he  receive  the  early  and  latter  rain. 

8  Be  ye  also  patient ;  stablish  your 
hearts :  for  the  coming  of  the  Lord  draw- 
eth  nigh. 

9  Grudge  not  one  against  another,  breth- 
ren, lest  ye  be  condemned :  behold,  the 
judge  standeth  before  the  door. 

10  Take,  my  brethren,  the  prophets,  who 
have  spoken  in  the  name  of  the  Lord,  for 
an  example  of  suffering  affliction,  and  of 
patience. 

11  Behold,  we  count  them  happy  which 
endure.  Ye  have  heard  of  the  patience 
of  Job,  and  have  seen  the  end  of  the 
Lord ;  that  the  Lord  is  very  pitiful,  and 
of  tender  mercy. 

12  But  above  all  things,  my  brethren, 
swear  not,  neither  by  heaven,  neither  by 
the  earth,  neither  by  any  other  oath :  but 
yet  your  yea  be  yea ;  and  your  nay,  nay ; 
lest  ye  fall  into  condemnation. 

13  Is  any  among  you  afflicted?  let  him 
pray.    Is  any  merry?  let  him  sing  psalms. 

14  Is  any  sick  among  you?  let  him  call 


a  little  time,  and  then  vanisheth 
away.  15  For  that  ye  ought  to  say. 
If  the  Lord  will,  we  shall  both  live, 
and  do  this  or  that.  16  But  now 
ye  glory  in  your  vauntings :  all  such 
glorying  is  evil.  17  To  him  there- 
fore that  knoweth  to  do  good,  and 
doeth  it  not,  to  him  it  is  sin. 


^{^  O  to  now,  ye  rich,  weep  and 
5vT  howl  for  your  miseries  that 
are  coming  upon  you.  2  Your 
riches  are  corrupted,  and  your  gar- 
ments are  moth-eaten.  3  Your  gold 
and  your  silver  are  rusted ;  and  their 
rust  shall  be  for  a  testimony  against 
you,  and  shall  eat  your  flesh  as 
fire.  Ye  have  laid  up  your  treasure 
in  the  last  days.  4  Behold,  the  hire 
of  the  labourers  who  mowed  your 
fields,  which  is  of  you  kept  back 
by  fraud,  crieth  out:  and  the  cries 
of  them  that  reaped  have  entered 
into  the  ears  of  the  Lord  of  Saba- 
oth. 5  Ye  have  lived  delicately  on 
the  earth,  and  taken  your  pleasure ; 
ye  have  nourished  your  hearts  in 
a  day  of  slaughter.  6  Ye  have  con- 
demned, ye  have  killed  the  right- 
eous one;  he  doth  not  resist  you. 

7  Be  patient  therefore,  brethren, 
until  the  coming  of  the  Lord.  Be- 
hold, the  husbandman  waiteth  for 
the  precious  fruit  of  the  earth,  be- 
ing patient  over  it,  until  it  receive 
the  early  and  latter  rain.  8  Be  ye 
also  patient;  stablish  your  hearts: 
for  the  coming  of  the  Lord  is  at 
ha^.  9  Murmur  not,  brethren,  one 
against  another,  that  ye  be  not 
judged:  behold,  the  judge  standeth 
before  the  doors.  10  Take,  breth- 
ren, for  an  example  of  suffering 
and  of  patience,  the  prophets  who 
spake  in  the  name  of  the  Lord.  11 
Behold,  we  call  them  blessed  which 
endured :  ye  have  heard  of  the  pa- 
tience of  Job,  and  have  seen  the  end

in  a  day  of  slaughter.  6  Ye  have 
condemned,  ye  have  killed  the 
righteous  one;  he  doth  not  resist 
you. 

7  Be  patient  therefore,  brethren,

we  shall  live,  we  will  do  this  or  that. 

16  But  now  you   rejoice  in  your  arro- 
gancies.     All  such  rejoicing  is  wicked. 

17  To  him  therefore  who  knoweth  to 
do  good,  and  doth  it  not,  to  him  it  is  sin. 


CHAPTER  5. 

GO   to    now,   ye   rich   men,    weep    and 
howl   in  your  miseries,   which   shall 
come  upon  you. 

2  Your  riches  are  corrupted :  and  your 
garments  are  motheaten. 

3  Your  gold  and  silver  is  cankered :  and 
the  rust  of  them  shall  be  for  a  testimony 
against  you,  and  shall  eat  your  flesh  like 
fire.  You  have  stored  up  to  yourselves 
wrath  against  the  last  days. 

4  Behold  the  hire  of  the  labourers,  who 
have  reaped  down  your  fields,  which  by 
fraud  has  been  kept  back  by  you,  crieth : 
and  the  cry  of  them  hath  entered  into 
the  ears  of  the  Lord  of  sabaoth. 

5  You  have  feasted  upon  earth :  and 
in  riotousness  you  have  nourished  your 
hearts,  in  the  day  of  slaughter. 

6  You  have  condemned  and  put  to  death 
the  Just  One,  and  he  resisted  you  not. 

7  Be  patient  therefore,  brethren,  until 
the  coming  of  the  Lord.  Behold,  the 
husbandman  waiteth  for  the  precious 
fruit  of  the  earth :  patiently  bearing  till

18  And  he  prayed  again,  and  the  heaven

through  faith  unto  salvation  ready  to  be 
revealed  in  the  last  time. 

6  Wherein  ye  greatly  rejoice,  though 
now  for  a  season,  if  need  be,  ye  are  in 
heaviness  through   manifold   temptations : 

7  That  the  trial  of  your  faith,  being 
much  more  precious  than  of  gold  that 
perisheth,  though  it  be  tried  with  fire, 
might  be  found  unto  praise  and  honour 
and  glory  at  the  appearing  of  Jesus  Christ : 

8  Whom  having  not  seen,  ye  love ;  in 
whom,  though  now  ye  see  him  not,  yet 
believing,  ye  rejoice  with  joy  unspeakable 
and  full  of  glory : 

9  Receiving  the  end  of  your  faith,  even 
the  salvation  of  your  souls. 

10  Of  which  salvation  the  prophets  have 
enquired  and  searched  diligently,  who 
prophesied  of  the  grace  that  should  come 
unto  you : 

11  Searching  what,  or  what  manner  of 
time  the  Spirit  of  Christ  which  was  in 
them  did  signify,  when  it  testified  before- 
hand the  sufferings  of  Christ,  and  the 
glory  that  should  follow. 

12  Unto  whom  it  was  revealed,  that  not 
unto  themselves,  but  unto  us  they  did 
minister  the  things,  which  are  now  re- 
ported unto  you  by  them  that  have 
preached  the  gospel  unto  you  with  the 
Holy  Ghost  sent  down  from  heaven  ;  which 
things  the  angels  desire  to  look  into. 

13  Wherefore  gird  up  the  loins  of  your 
mind,  be  sober,  and  hope  to  the  end  for 
the  grace  that  is  to  be  brought  unto  you 
at  the  revelation  of  Jesus  Christ ; 

14  As  obedient  children,  not  fashioning 
yourselves  according  to  the  former  lusts 
in  your  ignorance : 

15  But  as  he  which  hath  called  you  is 
holy,  so  be  ye  holy  in  all  manner  of  con- 
versation ; 

16  Because  it  is  written.  Be  ye  holy; 
for  I  am  holy. 

17  And  if  ye  call  on  the  Father,  who 
without  respect  of  persons  judgeth  accord- 
ing to  every  man's  work,  pass  the  time 
of  your  sojourning  here  in  fear : 

18  Forasmuch  as  ye  know  that  ye  were 
not  redeemed  with  corruptible  things,  as 
silver  and  gold,  from  your  vain  conversa- 
tion received  by  tradition  from  your  fa- 
thers ; 

19  But  with  the  precious  blood  of 
Christ,  as  of  a  lamb  without  blemish  and 
without  spot : 

20  Who  verily  was  foreordained  before 
the  foundation  of  the  world,  but  was  mani-

the  last  time.  6  Wherein  ye  greatly 
rejoice,  though  now  for  a  little 
while,  if  need  be,  ye  have  been  put 
to  grief  in  manifold  temptations,  7 
that  the  proof  of  your  faith,  being 
more  precious  than  gold  that  per-

might  be  found  unto  praise  and 
glory  and  honour  at  the  revelation 
of  Jesus  Christ :  8  whom  not  having

ye  see  him  not,  yet  believing,  ye 
rejoice  greatly  with  joy  unspeak- 
able and  full  of  glory:  9  receiving 
the  end  of  your  faith,  even  the  sal-

deed before  the  foundation  of  the 


by   faith   unto   salvation,   ready  to   be   re-

6  Wherein  you  shall  greatly  rejoice,  if 
now  you  must  be  for  a  little  time  made 
sorrowful  in  divers  temptations : 

7  That  the  trial  of  your  faith  (much 
more  precious  than  gold  which  is  tried 
by  the  fire)  may  be  found  unto  praise 
and  glory  and  honour  at  the  appearing 
of  Jesus  Christ : 

8  Whom  having  not  seen,  you  love:  in

the  salvation  of  your  souls. 

10  Of  which  salvation  the  prophets  have

prophesied  of  the  grace  to  come  in  you.

that  are  in  Christ,  and  the  glories  that

praises  of  him  who  hath  called  you  out  of 
darkness  into  his  marvellous  light : 

10  Which  in  time  past  were  not  a  peo- 
ple, but  are  now  the  people  of  God :  which 
had  not  obtained  mercy,  but  now  have 
obtained  mercy. 

11  Dearly  beloved,  I  beseech  you  as 
strangers  and  pilgrims,  abstain  from 
fleshly  lusts,  which  war  against  the 
soul  ; 

12  Having  your  conversation  honest 
among  the  Gentiles :  that,  whereas  they 
speak  against  you  as  evildoers,  they  may 
by  your  good  works,  which  they  shall  be- 
hold, glorify  God  in  the  day  of  visita- 
tion. 

13  Submit  yourselves  to  every  ordinance 
of  man  for  the  Lord's  sake:  whether  it 
be  to  the  king,  as  supreme ; 

14  Or  unto  governors,  as  unto  them  that 
are  sent  by  him  for  the  punishment  of 
evildoers,  and  for  the  praise  of  them  that 
do  well. 

15  For  so  is  the  will  of  God,  that  with 
well  doing  ye  may  put  to  silence  the  ig- 
norance of  foolish  men : 

16  As  free,  and  not  using  your  liberty 
for  a  cloke  of  maliciousness,  but  as  the 
servants  of  God. 

17  Honour  all  men.  Love  the  brother-

18  Servants,  be  subject  to  your  masters 
with  all  fear;  not  only  to  the  good  and 
gentle,  but  also  to  the  froward. 

19  For  this  is  thankworthy,  if  a  man 
for  conscience  toward  God  endure  grief, 
suffering  wrongfully. 

20  For  what  glory  is  it,  if,  when  ye  be

patiently?  but  if,  when  ye  do  well,  and 
suffer  for  it,  ye  take  it  patiently,  this  is 
acceptable  with  God. 

21  For  even  hereunto  were  ye  called :

ing us  an  example,  that  ye  should  follow 
his  steps:

not  again;  when  he  suffered,  he  threat- 
ened not ;  but  committed  himself  to  him 
that  judgeth  righteously: 

24  Who  his  own  self  bare  our  sins  in 
his  own  body  on  the  tree,  that  we,  being 
dead  to  sins,  should  live  unto  right- 
eousness :  by  whose  stripes  ye  were 
healed. 

25  For  ye  were  as  sheep  going  astray;

LIKEWISE,  ye  wives,  be  in  subjection 
to  your  own  husbands ;  that,  if  any 
obey  not  the  word,  they  also  may  without 
the  word  be  won  by  the  conversation  of

2  While  they  behold  your  chaste  con-

heart,  in  that  which  is  not  corruptible, 
even  the  ornament  of  a  meek  and  quiet 
spirit,  which  is  in  the  sight  of  God  of 
great   price. 

5  For  after  this  manner  in  the  old  time 
the  holy  women  also,  who  trusted  in 
God,  adorned  themselves,  being  in  sub- 
jection unto  their  own  husbands : 

6  Even  as  Sara  obeyed  Abraham,  call- 
ing him  lord :  whose  daughters  ye  are,  as 
long  as  ye  do  well,  and  are  not  afraid 
with  any  amazement.

vessel,  and  as  being  heirs  together  of  the

13  And  who  is  he  that  will  harm  you, 
if  ye  be  followers  of  that  which  is  good? 

14  But  and  if  ye  suffer  for  righteous- 
ness' sake,  happy  are  ye:  and  be  not  afraid 
of  their  terror,  neither  be  troubled ;

woman,  as  unto  the  weaker  vessel, 
as  being  also  joint-heirs  of  the  grace 
of  life;  to  the  end  that  your  prayers 
be  not  hindered.

reason  of  the   hope   that   is   in   you   with 
meekness  and  fear : 

i6  Having  a  good  conscience;  that, 
whereas  they  speak  evil  of  you,  as  of  evil- 
doers, they  may  be  ashamed  that  falsely 
accuse  your  good  conversation  in  Christ. 

17  For  it  is  better,  if  the  will  of  God  be 
so,  that  ye  suffer  for  well  doing,  than  for 
evil   doing. 

18  For  Christ  also  hath  once  suffered 
for  sins,  the  just  for  the  unjust,  that  he 
might  bring  us  to  God,  being  put  to  death 
in  the  flesh,  but  quickened  by  the  Spirit : 

19  By  which  also  he  went  and  preached 
unto  the  spirits  in  prison ; 

20  Which  sometime  were  disobedient, 
when  once  the  longsuffering  of  God  waited 
in  the  days  of  Noah,  while  the  ark  was 
a  preparing,  wherein  few,  that  is,  eight 
souls  were  saved  by  water. 

21  The  like  figure  whereunto  even  bap- 
tism doth  also  now  save  us  (not  the 
putting  away  of  the  filth  of  the  flesh,  but 
the  answer  of  a  good  conscience  toward 
God,)  by  the  resurrection  of  Jesus  Christ: 

22  Who  is  gone  into  heaven,  and  is  on 
the  right  hand  of  God ;  angels  and  authori- 
ties and  powers  being  made  subject  unto 
him. 


CHAPTER  4. 

FORASMUCH  then  as  Christ  hath  suf- 
fered for  us  in  the  flesh,  arm  your- 
selves likewise  with  the  same  mind :  for 
he  that  hath  suffered  in  the  flesh  hath 
ceased  from  sin ; 

2  That  he  no  longer  should  live  the 
rest  of  his  time  in  the  flesh  to  the  lusts 
of  men,  but  to  the  will  of  God. 

3  For  the  time  past  of  our  life  may 
suffice  us  to  have  wrought  the  will  of  the 
Gentiles,  when  we  walked  in  lascivious- 
ness,  lusts,  excess  of  wine,  revellings, 
banquetings,  and  abominable  idolatries : 

4  Wherein  they  think  it  strange  that 
ye  run  not  with  them  to  the  same  excess 
of  riot,  speaking  evil  of  you: 

5  Who  shall  give  account  to  him  that

you,  0%  ye  be  zealous  of  that  which 
is  good?  14  But  and  if  ye  should 
suffer  for  righteousness'  sake, 
blessed  are  ye:  and  fear  not  their 
fear,  neither  be  troubled;  15  but 
sanctify  in  your  hearts  Christ  as 
Lord :  being  ready  always  to  give 
answer  to  every  man  that  asketh 
you  a  reason  concerning  the  hope 
that  is  in  you,  yet  with  meekness 
and  fear :  16  having  a  good  con- 
science ;  that,  wherein  ye  are  spoken 
against,  they  may  be  put  to  shame 
who  revile  your  good  manner  of 
life  in  Christ.  17  For  it  is  better, 
if  the  will  of  God  should  so  will, 
that  ye  suffer  for  well-doing  than 
for  evil-doing.  18  Because  Christ 
also  suffered  for  sins  once,  the 
righteous  for  the  unrighteous,  that 
he  might  bring  us  to  God ;  being 
put  to  death  in  the  flesh,  but  quick- 
ened in  the  spirit ;  19  in  which  also 
he  went  and  preached  unto  the 
spirits  in  prison,  20  which  aforetime 
were  disobedient,  when  the  longsuf- 
fering of  God  waited  in  the  days  of 
Noah,  while  the  ark  was  a  prepar- 
ing, wherein  few,  that  is,  eight  souls, 
were  saved  through  water :  21  which 
also  after  a  true  likeness  doth  now 
save  you,  even  baptism,  not  the  put- 
ting away  of  the  filth  of  the  flesh, 
but  the  interrogation  of  a  good  con- 
science toward  God,  through  the 
resurrection  of  Jesus  Christ ;  22  who 
is  on  the  right  hand  of  God,  hav- 
ing gone  into  heaven ;  angels  and 
authorities  and  powers  being  made 
subject  unto  him. 

Tj^ORASMUCH  then  as  Christ 
4X^  suffered  in  the  flesh,  arm  ye 
yourselves  also  with  the  same  mind ; 
for  he  that  hath  suffered  in  the 
flesh  hath  ceased  from  sin ;  2  that 
ye  no  longer  should  live  the  rest 
of  your  time  in  the  flesh  to  the  lusts 
of  men,  but  to  the  will  of  God.

have  wrought  the  desire  of  the  Gen- 
tiles, and  to  have  walked  in  las- 
civiousness,  lusts,  winebibbings,  rev- 
ellings, carousings,  and  abomina- 
ble idolatries :  4  wherein  they  think 
it  strange  that  ye  run  not  with  them

13  And  who  is  he  that  will  harm 
you,  if  ye  be  zealous  of  that 
which  is  good?  14  But  even  if  ye 
should  suffer  for  righteousness' 
sake,  blessed  are  ye:  and  fear  not 
their  fear,  neither  be  troubled;  15 
but  sanctify  in  your  hearts  Christ 
as  Lord :  being  ready  always  to  give 
answer  to  every  man  that  asketh

that  is  in  you,  yet  with  meekness

ner of  life  in  Christ.  17  For  it  is 
better,  if  the  will  of  God  should 
so  will,  that  ye  suffer  for  well-doing 
than  for  evil-doing.  18  Because 
Christ  also  suffered  for  sins  once, 
the  righteous  for  the  unrighteous, 
that  he  might  bring  us  to  God;  be- 
ing put  to  death  in  the  flesh,  but 
made  alive  in  the  spirit ;  19  in  which 
also  he  went  and  preached  unto  the 
spirits  in  prison,  20  that  aforetime 
were  disobedient,  when  the  long- 
suffering  of  God  waited  in  the  days 
of  Noah,  while  the  ark  was  a  pre- 
paring, wherein  few,  that  is,  eight 
souls,  were  saved  through  water: 
21  which  also  after  a  true  likeness 
doth  now  save  you,  even  baptism, 
not  the  putting  away  of  the  filth 
of  the  flesh,  but  the  interrogation 
of  a  good  conscience  toward  God, 
through  the  resurrection  of  Jesus 
Christ ;  22  who  is  on  the  right  hand 
of  God,  having  gone  into  heaven; 
angels  and  authorities  and  powers 
being  made  subject  unto  him. 

PORASMUCH  then  as  Christ 
4J-  suffered  in  the  flesh,  arm  ye 
yourselves  also  with  the  same  mind ; 
for  he  that  hath  suffered  in  the 
flesh  hath  ceased  from  sin  ;  2  that  ye 
no  longer  should  live  the  rest  of 
your  time  in  the  flesh  to  the  lusts  of 
men,  but  to  the  will  of  God.  3  For 
the  time  past  may  suffice  to  have 
wrought  the  desire  of  the  Gentiles, 
and  to  have  walked  in  lascivious- 
ness,  lusts,  winebibbings,  revellings, 
carousings,  and  abominable  idola- 
tries: 4  wherein  they  think  it 
strange  that  ye  run  not  with  them 
into  the  same  excess  of  riot,  speak- 
ing evil  of  you:   5  who  shall  give 


a  good  conscience :  that  whereas  they 
speak  evil  of  you,  they  may  be  ashamed 
who  falsely  accuse  your  good  conversa- 
tion  in   Christ. 

17  For  it  is  better  doing  well  (if  such 
be  the  will  of  God)  to  suffer,  than  do- 
ing ill. 

18  Because  Christ  also  died  once  for 
our  sins,  the  just  for  the  unjust:  that  he 
might  offer  us  to  God,  being  put  to  death 
indeed  in  the  flesh,  but  enlivened  in  the 
spirit, 

19  In  which  also  coming  he  preached  to 
those  spirits  that  were  in  prison: 

20  Which  had  been  some  time  incredu- 
lous, when  they  waited  for  the  patience 
of  God  in  the  days  of  Noe,  when  the  ark 
was  a  building:  wherein  a  few,  that  is, 
eight  souls,  were  saved  by  water. 

21  Whereunto  baptism  being  of  the  like 
form,  now  saveth  you  also :  not  the  put- 
ting away  of  the  filth  of  the  flesh,  but 
the  examination  of  a  good  conscience  to- 
wards God  by  the  resurrection  of  Jesus 
Christ. 

22  Who  is  on  the  right  hand  of  God, 
swallowing  down  death,  that  we  might 
be  made  heirs  of  life  everlasting:  being 
gone  into  heaven,  the  angels  and  powers 
and  virtues  being  made  subject  to  him. 


CHAPTER  4. 

CHRIST  therefore  having  suffered  in 
the  flesh,  be  you  also  armed  with 
the  same  thought:  for  he  that  hath  suf- 
fered in  the  flesh,  hath  ceased  from  sins : 

2  That  now  he  may  live  the  rest  of  his 
time  in  the  flesh,  not  after  the  desires  of 
men,  but  according  to  the  will  of  God. 

3  For  the  time  past  is  sufficient  to  have 
fulfilled  the  will  of  the  Gentiles,  for  them 
who  have  walked  in  riotousness,  lusts,  ex- 
cess of  wine,  revellings,  banquetings,  and 
unlawful  worshipping  of  idols. 

4  Wherein  they  think  it  strange,  that 
you  run  not  with  them  into  the  same  con- 
fusion of  riotousness,  speaking  evil  of  you. 

5  Who  shall  render  account  to  him,  who 
is  ready  to  judge  the  living  and  the  dead.

THE  elders  which  are  among  you  I 
exhort,  who  am  also  an  elder,  and  a

also  a  partaker  of  the  glory  that  shall  be 
revealed : 

2  Feed  the  flock  of  God  which  is 
among  you,  taking  the  oversight  thereof, 
not  by  constraint,  but  willingly;  not  for 
filthy  lucre,  but  of  a  ready  mind; 

3  Neither  as  being  lords  over  God's 
heritage,  but  being  ensamples  to  ^he  flock. 

4  And  when  the  chief  Shepherd  shall 
appear,  ye  shall  receive  a  crown  of  glory 
that  fadeth  not  away. 

5  Likewise,  ye  younger,  submit  your- 
selves unto  the  elder.  Yea,  all  of  you 
be  subject  one  to  another,  and  be  clothed 
with  humility:  for  God  resisteth  the 
proud,  and  giveth  grace  to  the  humble. 

6  Humble  yourselves  therefore  under 
the  mighty  hand  of  God,  that  he  may 
exalt  you  in  due  time : 

7  Casting  all  your  care  upon  him;  for 
he  careth  for  you. 

8  Be  sober,  be  vigilant;  because  your 
adversary  the  devil,  as  a  roaring  lion, 
walketh  about,  seeking  whom  he  may 
devour : 

9  Whom  resist  stedfast  in  the  faith, 
knowing  that  the  same  afflictions  are  ac-

10  But  the  God  of  all  grace,  who  hath 
called  us  unto  his  eternal  glory  by  Christ 
Jesus,  after  that  ye  have  suffered  a  while,

you,  as  I  suppose,  I  have  written  briefly, 
exhorting,  and  testifying  that  this  is  the 
true  grace  of  God  wherein  ye  stand. 

13  The  church  that  is  at  Babylon,  elected 
together  with  you,  saluteth  you ;  and  so 
doth  Marcus  my  son. 

14  Greet  ye  one  another  with  a  kiss  of 
charity.  Peace  be  with  you  all  that  are 
in  Christ  Jesus.    Amen. 


npHE  elders  therefore  among 
0  X  you  I  exhort,  who  am  a 
fellow-elder,  and  a  witness  of  the 
sufferings  of  Christ,  who  am  also 
a  partaker  of  the  glory  that  shall 
be  revealed:  2  Tend  the  flock  of 
God  which  is  among  you,  exercising 
the  oversight,  not  of  constraint,  but 
willingly,  according  unto  God;  nor 
yet  for  filthy  lucre,  but  of  a  ready 
mind;  3  neither  as  lording  it  over 
the  charge  allotted  to  you,  but  mak- 
ing yourselves  ensamples  to  the 
flock.  4  And  when  the  chief  Shep- 
herd shall  be  manifested,  ye  shall 
receive  the  crown  of  glory  that 
fadeth  not  away.  5  Likewise,  ye 
younger,  be  subject  unto  the  elder. 
Yea,  all  of  you  gird  yourselves 
with  humility,  to  serve  one  another : 
for  God  resisteth  the  proud,  but 
giveth  grace  to  the  humble.  6  Hum- 
ble yourselves  therefore  under  the 
mighty  hand  of  God,  that  he  may 
exalt  you  in  due  time ;  7  casting  all 
your  anxiety  upon  him,  because  he 
careth  for  you.  8  Be  sober,  be

whom  withstand  stedfast  in  your 
faith,  knowing  that  the  same  suf-

brethren  who  are  in  the  world.  10

n^HE  elders  therefore  among 
5  JL  you  I  exhort,  who  am  a  fel- 
low-elder, and  a  witness  of  the  suf- 
ferings of  Christ,  who  am  also  a 
partaker  of  the  glory  that  shall  be 
revealed :  2  Tend  the  flock  of  God 
which  is  among  you,  exercising  the 
oversight,  not  of  constraint,  but 
willingly,  according  to  the  will  of 
God ;  nor  yet  for  filthy  lucre,  but  of 
a  ready  mind;  3  neither  as  lording 
it  over  the  charge  allotted  to  you, 
but  making  yourselves  ensamples  to 
the  flock.  4  And  when  the  chief 
Shepherd  shall  be  manifested,  ye 
shall  receive  the  crown  of  glory  that 
fadeth  not  away.  5  Likewise,  ye 
younger,  be  subject  unto  the  elder. 
Yea,  all  of  you  gird  yourselves  with 
humility,  to  serve  one  another:  for 
God  resisteth  the  proud,  but  giv- 
eth  grace  to  the  humble.  6  Hum- 
ble yourselves  therefore  under  the 
mighty  hand  of  God,  that  he  may 
exalt  you  in  due  time ;  7  casting  all 
your  anxiety  upon  him,  because  he 
careth  for  you.  8  Be  sober,  be 
watchful :  your  adversary  the  devil, 
as  a  roaring  lion,  walketh  about, 
seeking  whom  he  may  devour:  9 
whom  withstand  stedfast  in  your 
faith,  knowing  that  the  same  suf- 
ferings are  accomplished  in  your 
brethren  who  are  in  the  world.  10 
And  the  God  of  all  grace,  who 
called  you  unto  his  eternal  glory  in 
Christ,  after  that  ye  have  suff^ered  a 
little  while,  shall  himself  perfect,  es- 
tablish, strengthen  you.  11  To  him 
he  the  dominion  for  ever  and  ever. 
Amen.

CHAPTER  5. 

THE  ancients  therefore  that  are  among 
you,  I  beseech,  who  am  myself  also 
an  ancient,  and  a  witness  of  the  suffer- 
ings of  Christ:  as  also  a  partaker  of  that 
glory  which  is  to  be  revealed  in  time  to 
come: 

2  Feed  the  flock  of  God  which  is  among 
you,  taking  care  of  it,  not  by  constraint, 
but  willingly,  according  to  God :  not  for 
filthy  lucre's  sake,  but  voluntarily : 

3  Neither  as  lording  it  over  the  clergy, 
but  being  made  a  pattern  of  the  flock 
from  the  heart. 

4  And  when  the  prince  of  pastors  shall 
appear,  you  shall  receive  a  never  fading 
crown  of  glory. 

5  In  like  manner,  ye  young  men,  be 
subject  to  the  ancients.  And  do  you  all 
insinuate  humility  one  to  another,  for 
God  resisteth  the  proud,  hut  to  the  hum- 
hie  he  giveth  grace. 

6  Be  you  humbled  therefore  under  the 
mighty  hand  of  God,  that  he  may  exalt 
you  in  the  time  of  visitation : 

7  Casting  all  your  care  upon  him,  for 
he  hath  care  of  you. 

8  Be  sober  and  watch :  because  your 
adversary  the  devil,  as  a  roaring  lion, 
goeth  about  seeking  whom  he  may  de- 
vour. 

9  Whom  resist  ye,  strong  in  faith: 
knowing  that  the  same  affliction  befalls 
your  brethren  who  are  in  the  world. 

10  But  the  God  of  all  grace,  who  hath 
called  us  unto  his  eternal  glory  in  Christ 
Jesus,  after  you  have  suffered  a  little,  will 
himself  perfect  you,  and  confirm  you,  and 
establish   you. 

11  To  him  be  glory  and  empire  for  ever 
and  ever.    Amen. 

12  By  Sylvanus,  a  faithful  brother  unto 
you,  as  I  think,  I  have  written  briefly: 
beseeching  and  testifying  that  this  is  the 
true  grace  of  God,  wherein  you  stand. 

13  The  church  that  is  in  Babylon, 
elected  together  with  you,  saluteth  you: 
and  so  doth  my  son  Mark. 

14  Salute  one  another  with  a  holy  kiss. 
Grace  be  to  all  you,  who  are  in  Christ 
Jesus.    Amen.

you  through  the  knowledge  of  God,  and  of

3  As  all  things  of  his  divine  power 
which  appertain  to  life  and  godliness,  are 
given  us,  through  the  knowledge  of  him 
who  hath  called  us  by  his  own  proper

Christ  hath  shewed  me. 

15  Moreover  I  will  endeavour  that  ye 
may  be  able  after  my  decease  to  have 
these  things  always  in  remembrance. 

16  For  we  have  not  followed  cunningly 
devised  fables,  when  we  made  known  unto 
you  the  power  and  coming  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  but  were  eyewitnesses  of  his 
majesty. 

17  For  he  received  from  God  the  Fa- 
ther honour  and  glory,  when  there  came 
such  a  voice  to  him  from  the  excellent 
glory,  This  is  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom 
I  am  well  pleased. 

18  And  this  voice  which  came  from 
heaven  we  heard,  when  we  were  with  him 
in  the  holy  mount. 

19  We  have  also  a  more  sure  word  of 
prophecy ;  whereunto  ye  do  well  that  ye 
take  heed,  as  unto  a  light  that  shineth 
in  a  dark  place,  until  the  day  dawn,  and 
the  day  star  arise  in  your  hearts: 

20  Knowing  this  first,  that  no  prophecy 
of  the  scripture  is  of  any  private  inter- 
pretation. 

21  For  the  prophecy  came  not  in  old 
time  by  the  will  of  man :  but  holy  men 
of  God  spake  as  they  were  moved  by  the 
Holy  Ghost. 

CHAPTER  2. 

BUT  there  were  false  prophets  also 
among  the  people,  even  as  there  shall 
be  false  teachers  among  you,  who  privily 
shall  bring  in  damnable  heresies,  even 
denying  the  Lord  that  bought  them, 
and  bring  upon  themselves  swift  destruc- 
tion. 

2  And  many  shall  follow  their  per- 
nicious ways ;  by  reason  of  whom  the  way 
of  truth  shall  be  evil  spoken  of. 

3  And  through  covetousness  shall  they 
with  feigned  words  make  merchandise  of 
you:  whose  judgment  now  of  a  long  time 
lingereth  not,  and  their  damnation  slum-

4  For  if  God  spared  not  the  angels  that 
sinned,  but  cast  them  down  to  hell,  and 
delivered  them  into  chains  of  darkness,  to 
be  reserved  unto  judgment;

saved  Noah  the  eighth  person,  a  preacher 
of  righteousness,  bringing  in  the  flood 
upon  the  world  of  the  ungodly ;

after  my  decease  to  call  these  things

when  we  made  known  unto  you  the 
power  and  coming  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  but  we  were  eye-

he  received  from  God  the  Father 
honour  and  glory,  when  there  came 
such  a  voice  to  him  from  the  excel- 
lent glory.  This  is  my  beloved  Son, 
in  whom  I  am  well  pleased:  18  and 
this  voice  we  ourselves  heard  come 
out  of  heaven,  when  we  were  with 
him  in  the  holy  mount.  19  And 
we  have  the  word  of  prophecy  made 
more  sure ;  whereunto  ye  do  well 
that  ye  take  heed,  as  unto  a  lamp 
shining  in  a  dark  place,  until  the 
day  dawn,  and  the  day-star  arise  in 
your  hearts:  20  knowing  this  first, 
that  no  prophecy  of  scripture  is  of 
private  interpretation.  21  For  no 
prophecy  ever  came  by  the  will  of 
man :  but  men  spake  from  God,  be- 
ing moved  by  the  Holy  Ghost. 


^T>UT  there  arose  false  prophets 
^-D  also  among  the  people,  as 
among  you  also  there  shall  be  false

served unto  judgment;  5  and  spared 
not  the  ancient  world,  but  preserved 
Noah  with  seven  others,  a  preacher 
of  righteousness,  when  he  brought 
a  flood  upon  the  world  of  the  un- 
godly ;  6  and  turning  the  cities  of 
Sodom   and   Gomorrah   into    ashes 


ing  as  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  also  hath 
signified   to   me. 

15  And  I  will  endeavour,  that  you  fre- 
quently have  after  my  decease,  whereby 
you  may  keep  a  memory  of  these  things. 

16  For  we  have  not  by  following  arti- 
ficial fables,  made  known  to  you  the 
power,  and  presence  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ;  but  we  were  eyewitnesses  of  his 
greatness. 

17  For  he  received  from  God  the  Fa- 
ther, honour  and  glory:  this  voice  com- 
ing down  to  him  from  the  excellent  glory: 
This  is  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom  I  am 
well  pleased;  hear  ye  him. 

18  And  this  voice  we  heard  brought 
from  heaven,  when  we  were  with  him  in 
the  holy  mount. 

19  And  we  have  the  more  firm  prophet- 
ical word:  whereunto  you  do  well  to  at- 
tend, as  to  a  light  that  shineth  in  a  dark 
place,  until  the  day  dawn,  and  the  day 
star  arise  in  your  hearts: 

20  Understanding  this  first,  that  no 
prophecy  of  scripture  is  made  by  private 
interpretation. 

21  For  prophecy  came  not  by  the  will 
of  man  at  any  time:  but  the  holy  men 
of  God  spoke,  inspired  by  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

CHAPTER  2. 

BUT  there  were  also  false  prophets 
among  the  people,  even  as  there  shall 
be  among  you  lying  teachers,  who  shall 
bring  in  sects  of  perdition,  and  deny  the 
Lord  who  bought  them :  bringing  upon 
themselves  swift  destruction. 

2  And  many  shall  follow  their  riotous- 
nesses,  through  whom  the  way  of  truth 
shall  be  evil   spoken  of. 

3  And  through  covetousness  shall  they 
with  feigned  words  make  merchandise  of 
you.  Whose  judgment  now  of  a  long  time 
lingereth  not,  and  their  perdition  slum- 
bereth  not. 

4  For  if  God  spared  not  the  angels  that 
sinned,  but  delivered  them,  drawn  dowrf 
by  infernal  ropes  to  the  lower  hell, 
unto  torments,  to  be  reserved  unto  judg- 
ment: 

5  And  spared  not  the  original  world,  but 
preserved  Noe,  the  eighth  person,  the 
preacher  of  justice,  bringing  in  the  flood 
upon  the  world  of  the  ungodly. 

6  And  reducing  the  cities  of  the  Sod- 
omites, and  of  the  Gomorrhites,  into 
ashes,     condemned     them    to     be     over-

sample  unto  those  that  after  should  live 
ungodly ; 

7  i^nd  delivered  just  Lot,  vexed  with 
the  filthy  conversation  of  the  wicked : 

8  (For  that  righteous  man  dwelling 
among  them,  in  seeing  and  hearing,  vexed 
his  righteous  soul  from  day  to  day  with 
their  unlawful   deeds;) 

9  The  Lord  knoweth  how  to  deliver  the 
godly  out  of  temptations,  and  to  reserve 
the  unjust  unto  the  day  of  judgment  to 
be  punished : 

ID  But  chiefly  them  that  walk  after  the 
flesh  in  the  lust  of  uncleanness,  and  de- 
spise government.  Presumptuous  are  they, 
selfwilled,  they  are  not  afraid  to  speak 
evil  of  dignities. 

11  Whereas  angels,  which  are  greater  in 
power  and  might,  bring  not  railing  accusa- 
tion against  them  before  the  Lord. 

12  But  these,  as  natural  brute  beasts, 
made  to  be  taken  and  destroyed,  speak 
evil  of  the  things  that  they  understand 
not;  and  shall  utterly  perish  in  their  own 
corruption ; 

13  And  shall  receive  the  reward  of  un- 
righteousness, as  they  that  count  it  pleas- 
ure to  riot  in  the  day  time.  Spots  they 
are  and  blemishes,  sporting  themselves 
with  their  own  deceivings  while  they  feast 
with  you ; 

14  Having  eyes  full'  of  adultery,  and 
that  cannot  cease  from  sin ;  beguiling  un- 
stable souls:  an  heart  they  have  exer- 
cised with  covetous  practices ;  cursed  chil- 
dren: 

15  Which  have  forsaken  the  right  way, 
and  are  gone  astray,  following  the  way 
of  Balaam  the  son  of  Bosor,  who  loved 
the  wages  of  unrighteousness ; 

16  But  was  rebuked  for  his  iniquity: 
the  dumb  ass  speaking  with  man's  voice 
forbad  the  madness  of  the  prophet. 

17  These  are  wells  without  water,  clouds 
that  are  carried  with  a  tempest;  to  whom 
the  mist  of  darkness  is  reserved  for  ever, 

18  For  when  they  speak  great  swelling 
words  of  vanity,  they  allure  through  the 
lusts  of  the  flesh,  through  much  wanton- 
ness, those  that  were  clean  escaped  from 
them  who  live  in  error. 

19  While  they  promise  them  liberty,  they 
themselves  are  the  servants  of  corruption : 
for  of  whom  a  man  is  overcome,  of  the 
same  is  he  brought  in  bondage. 

20  For  if  after  they  have  escaped  the 
pollutions  of  the  world  through  the  knowl- 
edge of  the  Lord  and  Saviour  Jesus 
Christ,  they  are  again  entangled  therein, 


ashes  condemned  them  with  an  over- 
throw, having  made  them  an  ex- 
ample unto  those  that  should  live 
ungodly ;  7  and  delivered  righteous 
Lot,  sore  distressed  by  the  las- 
civious life  of  the  wicked  8  (for 
that  righteous  man  dwelling  among 
them,  in  seeing  and  hearing,  vexed 
his  righteous  soul  from  day  to  day 
with  their  lawless  deeds)  :  9  the 
Lord  knoweth  how  to  deliver  the 
godly  out  of  temptation,  and  to  keep 
the  unrighteous  under  punishment 
unto  the  day  of  judgement;  10  but 
chiefly  them  that  walk  after  the 
flesh  in  the  lust  of  defilement,  and 
despise  dominion.  Daring,  self- 
willed,  they  tremble  not  to  rail  at 
dignities:  11  whereas  angels,  though 
greater  in  might  and  power,  bring 
not  a  railing  judgement  against 
them  before  the  Lord.  12  But  these, 
as  creatures  without  reason,  born 
mere  animals  to  be  taken  and  de- 
stroyed, railing  in  matters  whereof 
they  are  ignorant,  shall  in  their 
destroying  surely  be  destroyed,  13 
suffering  wrong  as  the  hire  of 
wrong-doing;  men  that  count  it 
pleasure  to  revel  in  the  day-time, 
spots  and  blemishes,  revelling  in 
their  love-feasts  while  they  feast 
with  you;  14  having  eyes  full  of 
adultery,  and  that  cannot  cease  from 
sin;  enticing  unstedfast  souls;  hav- 
ing a  heart  exercised  in  covetous- 
ness;  children  of  cursing;  15  for- 
saking the  right  way,  they  went 
astray,  having  followed  the  way  of 
Balaam  the  son  of  Beor,  who  loved 
the  hire  of  wrong-doing;  16  but  he 
was  rebuked  for  his  own  transgres- 
sion :  a  dumb  ass  spake  with  man's

who  are  just  escaping  from  them

7  And  delivered  just  Lot,  oppressed  by 
the  injustice  and  lewd  conversation  of 
the  wicked. 

8  For  in  sight  and  hearing  he  was  just: 
dwelling  among  them,  who  from  day  to 
day  vexed  the  just  soul  with  unjust 
works.

godly  from  temptation,  but  to  reserve 
the  unjust  unto  the  day  of  judgment  to 
be  tormented.

willed,  they  fear  not  to  bring  in  sects, 
blaspheming.

12  But  these  men,  as  irrational  beasts, 
naturally  tending  to  the  snare  and  to  de- 
struction, blaspheming  those  things  which 
they  know  not,  shall  perish  in  their  cor- 
ruption, 

13  Receiving  the  reward  of  their  injus- 
tice, counting  for  a  pleasure  the  delights 
of  a  day :  stains  and  spots,  sporting  them- 
selves to  excess,  rioting  in  their  feasts 
with  you : 

14  Having  eyes  full  of  adultery  and  of 
sin  that  ceaseth  not:  alluring  unstable 
souls,  having  their  heart  exercised  with 
covetousness,  children  of  malediction : 

15  Leaving  the  right  way  they  have 
gone  astray,  having  followed  the  way  of 
Balaam  of  Bosor,  who  loved  the  wages  of 
iniquity, 

16  But  had  a  check  of  his  madness,  the 
dumb  beast  used  to  the  yoke,  which  speak- 
ing with  man's  voice,  forbade  the  folly 
of  the  prophet. 

17  These  are  fountains  without  water, 
and  clouds  tossed  with  whirlwinds,  to 
whom  the  mist  of  darkness  is  reserved. 

18  For,  speaking  proud  words  of  van-

riotousness,  those  who  for  a  little  while 
escape,'  such  as  converse  in  error : 

19  Promising  them  liberty,  whereas  they 
themselves  are  the  slaves  of  corruption. 
For  by  whom  a  man  is  overcome,  of  the

and  overcome,  the  latter  end  is  worse  with 
them  than  the  beginning. 

21  For  it  had  been  better  for  them  not 
to  have  known  the  way  of  righteousness, 
than,  after  they  have  known  it,  to  turn 
from  the  holy  commandment  delivered 
unto  them.

cording to  the  true  proverb,  The  dog  is 
turned  to  his  own  vomit  again;  and  the 
sow  that  was  washed  to  her  wallowing  in 
the  mire. 

CHAPTER  3. 

THIS  second  epistle,  beloved,  I  now 
write  unto  you ;  in  both  which  I  stir 
up  your  pure  minds  by  way  of  remem- 
brance : 

2  That  ye  may  be  mindful  of  the  words 
which  were  spoken  before  by  the  holy 
prophets,  and  of  the  commandment  of  us 
the  apostles  of  the  Lord  and  Saviour : 

3  Knowing  this  first,  that  there  shall 
come  in  the  last  days  scoffers,  walking 
after  their  own  lusts, 

4  And  saying,  Where  is  the  promise  of 
his  coming?  for  since  the  fathers  fell 
asleep,  all  things  continue  as  they  were 
from  the  beginning  of  the  creation. 

5  For  this  they  willingly  are  ignorant 
of,  that  by  the  word  of  God  the  heavens 
were  of  old,  and  the  earth  standing  out 
of  the  water  and  in  the  water : 

6  Whereby  the  world  that  then  was, 
being  overflowed  with  water,  perished: 

7  But  the  heavens  and  the  earth,  which 
are  now,  by  the  same  word  are  kept  in 
store,  reserved  unto  fire  against  the  day 
of  judgment  and  perdition  of  ungodly 
men. 

8  But,  beloved,  be  not  ignorant  of  this 
one  thing,  that  one  day  is  with  the  Lord 
as  a  thousand  years,  and  a  thousand  years 
as  one  day. 

9  The  Lord  is  not  slack  concerning  his 
promise,  as  some  men  count  slackness; 
but  is  longsuffering  to  us-ward,  not  will- 
ing that  any  should  perish,  but  that  all 
should  come  to  repentance. 

10  But  the  day  of  the  Lord  will  come 
as  a  thief  in  the  night ;  in  the  which  the 
heavens  shall  pass  away  with  a  great 
noise,  and  the  elements  shall  melt  with 
fervent  heat,  the  earth  also  and  the  works 
that  are  therein  shall  be  burned  up. 

11  Seeing  then  that  all  these  things  shall 
be    dissolved,    what    manner    of   persons 


through  the  knowledge  of  the  Lord 
and  Saviour  Jesus  Christ,  they  are 
again  entangled  therein  and  over- 
come, the  last  state  is  become  worse 
with  them  than  the  first.  21  For  it 
were  better  for  them  not  to  have 
known  the  way  of  righteousness, 
than,  after  knowing  it,  to  turn  back 
from  the  holy  commandment  deliv- 
ered unto  them.  22  It  has  happened 
unto  them  according  to  the  true 
proverb,  The  dog  turning  to  his  own 
vomit  again,  and  the  sow  that  had 
washed  to  wallowing  in  the  mire. 

'T^HIS  is  now,  beloved,  the  sec- 
3  J-  ond  epistle  that  I  write  unto 
you ;  and  in  both  of  them  I  stir  up 
your  sincere  mind  by  putting  you  in

spoken  before  by  the  holy  prophets, 
and  the  commandment  of  the  Lord 
and  Saviour  through  your  apostles:

(i^ys  mockers  shall  come  with  mock- 
ery, walking  after  their  own  lusts,

of  his  coming?  for,  from  the  day 
that  the  fathers  fell  asleep,  all  things 
continue  as  they  were  from  the  be- 
ginning of  the  creation.  5  For  this 
they  wilfully  forget,  that  there 
were  heavens  from  of  old,  and  an 
earth  compacted  out  of  water  and 
amidst  water,  by  the  word  of  God; 
6  by  which  means  the  world  that 
then  was,  being  overflowed  with 
water,  perished :  7  but  the  heavens 
that  now  are,  and  the  earth,  by  the 
same  word  have  been  stored  up  for 
fire,  being  reserved  against  the  day 
of  judgement  and  destruction  of  un- 
godly men. 

8  But  forget  not  this  one  thing, 
beloved,  that  one  day  is  with  the 
Lord  as  a  thousand  years,  and  a 
thousand  years  as  one  day.  9  The

the  precepts  of  the  Lord  and  Saviour, 

3  Knowing  this  first,  that  in  the  last 
days  there  shall  come  deceitful  scoffers, 
walking  after  their  own  lusts, 

4  Saying:  Where  is  his  promise  or  his 
coming?  for  since  the  time  that  the  fa- 
thers slept,  all  things  continue  as  they 
were  from  the  beginning  of  the  crea- 
tion. 

5  For  this  they  are  wilfully  ignorant  of, 
that  the  heavens  were  before,  and  the 
earth  out  of  water,  and  through  water, 
consisting  by  the  word  of  God, 

6  Whereby  the  world  that  then  was,  be- 
ing overflowed  with  water,  perished. 

7  But  the  heavens  and  the  earth  which 
are  now,  by  the  same  word  are  kept  in 
store,  reserved  unto  fire  against  the  day 
of  judgment  and  perdition  of  the  ungodly 
men. 

8  But  of  this  one  thing  be  not  ignorant, 
my  beloved,  that  one  day  with  the  Lord 
is  as  a  thousand  years,  and  a  thousand 
years  as  one  day, 

9  The  Lord  delayeth  not  his  promise,  as 
some  imagine,  but  dealeth  patiently  for 
your  sake,  not  willing  that  any  should 
perish,  but  that  all  should  return  to 
penance. 

10  But  the  day  of  the  Lord  shall  come 
as  a  thief,  in  which  the  heavens  shall  pass 
away  with  great  violence,  and  the  ele- 
ments shall  be  melted  with  heat,  and  the 
earth  and  the  works  which  are  in  it,  shall 
be  burnt  up. 

11  Seeing  then  that  all  these  things  are 
to  be  dissolved,  what  manner  of  people

declare  we  unto  you,  that  ye  also  may 
have  fellowship  with  us :  and  truly  our 
fellowship  is  with  the  Father,  and  with 
his  Son  Jesus  Christ. 

4  And  these  things  write  we  unto  you, 
that  your  joy  may  be  full, 

5  This  then  is  the  message  which  we 
have  heard  of  him,  and  declare  unto  you, 
that  God  is  light,  and  in  him  is  no  dark- 
ness at  all. 

6  If  we  say  that  we  have  fellowship 
with  him,  and  walk  in  darkness,  we  lie, 
and  do  not  the  truth : 

7  But  if  we  walk  in  the  light,  as  he 
is  in  the  light,  we  have  fellowship  one 
with  another,  and  the  blood  of  Jesus 
Christ  his  Son  cleanseth  us  from  all  sin. 

8  If  we  say  that  we  have  no  sin,  we 
deceive  ourselves,  and  the  truth  is  not 
in  us. 

9  If  we  confess  our  sins,  he  is  faithful 
and  just  to  forgive  us  our  sins,  and  to 
cleanse  us  from  all  unrighteousness. 

10  If  we  say  that  we  have  not  sinned, 
we  make  him  a  liar,  and  his  word  is  not 
in  us. 

CHAPTER  2. 

MY  little  children,  these  things  write 
I  unto  you,  that  ye  sin  not.  And 
if  any  man  sin,  we  have  an  advocate  with 
the  Father,  Jesus  Christ  the  righteous: 

2  And  he  is  the  propitiation  for  our 
sins:  and  not  for  our's  only,  but  also 
for  the  sins  of  the  whole  world. 

3  And  hereby  we  do  know  that  we 
know  him,  if  we  keep  his  commandments. 

4  He  that  saith,  I  know  him,  and  keep- 
eth  not  his  commandments,  is  a  liar,  and 
the  truth   is   not   in   him. 

5  But  whoso  keepeth  his  word,  in  him 
verily  is  the  love  of  God  perfected :  here- 
by know  we  that  we  are  in  him. 

6  He  that  saith  he  abideth  in  him  ought 
himself  also  so  to  walk,  even  as  he  walked. 

7  Brethren,  I  write  no  new  command- 
ment unto  you,  but  an  old  commandment 
which  ye  had  from  the  beginning.  The 
old  commandment  is  the  word  which  ye 
have  heard  from  the  beginning. 

8  Again,  a  new  commandment  I  write 
unto  you,  which  thing  is  true  in  him  and 
in  you :  because  the  darkness  is  past,  and 
the  true  light  now   shineth. 

9  He  that  saith  he  is  in  the  light,  and 
hateth  his  brother,  is  in  darkness  even 
until  now. 

10  He  that  loveth  his  brother  abideth 


ship  with  us:  yea,  and  our  fellow- 
ship is  with  the  Father,  and  with 
his  Son  Jesus  Christ:  4  and  these 
things  we  write,  that  our  joy  may 
be  fulfilled. 

5  And  this  is  the  message  which 
we  have  heard  from  him,  and  an- 
nounce unto  you,  that  God  is  light, 
and   in   him   is   no   darkness   at   all. 

6  If  we  say  that  we  have  fellow- 
ship with  him,  and  walk  in  the  dark- 
ness, we  lie,  and  do  not  the  truth : 

7  but  if  we  walk  in  the  light,  as 
he  is  in  the  light,  we  have  fellowship 
one  with  another,  and  the  blood  of 
Jesus  his  Son  cleanseth  us  from  all 
sin.  8  If  we  say  that  we  have  no 
sin,  we  deceive  ourselves,  and  the 
truth  is  not  in  us.  9  If  we  confess 
our  sins,  he  is  faithful  and  righteous 
to  forgive  us  our  sins,  and  to 
cleanse  us  from  all  unrighteousness. 
ID  If  we  say  that  we  have  not 
sinned,  we  make  him  a  liar,  and  his 
word  is  not  in  us.

^iTJ.  write  I  unto  you,  that  ye  may

he  is  the  propitiation  for  our  sins ; 
and  not  for  ours  only,  but  also  for 
the  whole  world.  3  And  hereby 
know  we  that  we  know  him,  if  we 
keep  his  commandments.  4  He  that 
saith,  I  know  him,  and  keepeth  not 
his  commandments,  is  a  liar,  and 
the  truth  is  not  in  him :  5  but  whoso 
keepeth  his  word,  in  him  verily  hath 
the  love  of  God  been  perfected. 
Hereby  know  we  that  we  are  in 
him:  6  he  that  saith  he  abideth  in 
him  ought  himself  also  to  walk  even 
as  he  walked.

write  I  unto  you,  but  an  old  com- 
mandment which  ye  had  from  the

14  I  have  written  unto  you,  fathers, 
because  ye  have  known  him  that  is  from 
the  beginning.  I  have  written  unto  you, 
young  men,  because  ye  are  strong,  and 
the  word  of  God  abideth  in  you,  and  ye 
have  overcome  the  wicked  one. 

15  Love  not  the  world,  neither  the 
things  that  are  in  the  world.  If  any  man 
love  the  world,  the  love  of  the  Father  is 
not  in  him. 

16  For  all  that  is  in  the  world,  the  lust 
of  the  flesh,  and  the  lust  of  the  eyes, 
and  the  pride  of  life,  is  not  of  the  Father, 
but  is  of  the  world. 

17  And  the  world  passeth  away,  and 
the  lust  thereof :  but  he  that  doeth  the 
will  of  God  abideth  for  ever. 

18  Little  children,  it  is  the  last  time: 
and  as  ye  have  heard  that  antichrist  shall 
come,  even  now  are  there  many  anti- 
christs; whereby  we  know  that  it  is  the 
last  time. 

19  They  went  out  from  us,  but  they 
were  not  of  us;  for  if  they  had  been  of 
us,  they  would  no  doubt  have  continued 
with  us :  but  they  went  out,  that  they 
might  be  made  manifest  that  they  were 
not  all  of  us. 

20  But  ye  have  an  unction  from  the 
Holy  One,  and  ye  know  all  things. 

21  I  have  not  written  unto  you  because 
ye  know  not  the  truth,  but  because  ye 
know  it,  and  that  no  lie  is  of  the  truth. 

22  Wiho  is  a  liar  but  he  that  denieth 
that  Jesus  is  the  Christ?  He  is  anti- 
christ, that  denieth  the  Father  and  the 
Son. 

2^  Whosoever  denieth  the  Son,  the 
same  hath  not  the  Father:  [hut]  he  that 
acknowledgeth  the  Son  hath  the  Father 
also. 

24  Let  that  therefore  abide  in  you,  which 
ye  have  heard  from  the  beginning.  If 
that  which  ye  have  heard  from  the  begin- 


brother,  is  in  the  darkness  even  until 
now.  10  He  that  loveth  his  brother 
abideth  in  the  light,  and  there  is 
none  occasion  of  stumbling  in  him. 
II  But  he  that  hateth  his  brother 
is  in  the  darkness,  and  walketh  in 
the  darkness,  and  knoweth  not 
whither  he  goeth,  because  the  dark- 
ness hath  blinded  his  eyes. 

12  I  write  unto  you,  7ny  little  chil- 
dren, because  your  sins  are  for- 
given you  for  his  name's  sake.  13  I 
write  unto  you,  fathers,  because  ye 
know  him  which  is  from  the  begin- 
ning. I  write  unto  you,  young  men, 
because  ye  have  overcome  the  evil 
one.  I  have  written  unto  you,  little 
children,  because  ye  know  the  Fa- 
ther. 14  I  have  written  unto  you, 
fathers,  because  ye  know  him  which 
is  from  the  beginning.  I  have  writ- 
ten unto  you,  young  men,  because 
ye  are  strong,  and  the  word  of  God 
abideth  in  you,  and  ye  have  over- 
come the  evil  one.  15  Love  not 
the  world,  neither  the  things  that 
are  in  the  world.  If  any  man  love 
the  world,  the  love  of  the  Father  is 
not  in  him.  16  For  all  that  is  in  the 
world,  the  lust  of  the  flesh',  and  the 
lust  of  the  eyes,  and  the  vainglory 
of  life,  is  not  of  the  Father,  but  is 
of  the  world.  17  And  the  world 
passeth  away,  and  the  lust  thereof: 
but  he  that  doeth  the  will  of  God 
abideth  for  ever. 

18  Little  children,  it  is  the  last 
hour:  and  as  ye  heard  that  anti- 
christ Cometh,  even  now  have  there 
arisen  many  antichrists ;  whereby  we 
know  that  it  is  the  last  hour.  19 
They  went  out  from  us,  but  they 
were  not  of  us ;  for  if  they  had  been 
of  us,  they  would  have  continued 
with  us:  but  they  went  out,  that 
they  might  be  made  manifest  how 
that  they  all  are  not  of  us.  20  And 
ye  have  an  anointing  from  the  Holy 
One,  and  ye  know  all  things.  21  I 
have  not  written  unto  you  because 
ye  know  not  the  truth,  but  because 
ye  know  it,  and  because  no  lie  is 
of  the  truth.  22  Who  is  the  liar 
but  he  that  denieth  that  Jesus  is  the 
Christ?  This  is  the  antichrist,  even 
he  that  denieth  the  Father  and  the 
Son.  23  Whosoever  denieth  the 
Son,  the  same  hath  not  the  Father: 
he  that  confesseth  the  Son  hath  the

brother,  is  in  the  darkness  even  until 
now.  ID  He  that  loveth  his  brother 
abideth  in  the  light,  and  there  is 
no  occasion  of  stumbling  in  him. 
II  But  he  that  hateth  his  brother 
is  in  the  darkness,  and  walketh  in 
the  darkness,  and  knoweth  not 
whither  he  goeth,  because  the  dark- 
ness hath  blinded  his  eyes. 

12  I  write  unto  you,  my  little 
children,  because  your  sins  are  for- 
given you  for  his  name's  sake.  13  I 
write  unto  you,  fathers,  because  ye 
know  him  who  is  from  the  begin-

because  ye  have  overcome  the  evil 
one.  I  have  written  unto  you,  little 
children,  because  ye  know  the  Fa-

fathers,  because  ye  know  him  who 
is  from  the  beginning,  I  have  writ- 
ten unto  you,  young  men,  because 
ye  are  strong,  and  the  word  of  God 
abideth  in  you,  and  ye  have  over-

world,  neither  the  things  that  are 
in  the  world.  If  any  man  love  the 
world,  the  love  of  the  Father  is 
not  in  him.  16  For  all  that  is  in  the 
world,  the  lust  of  the  flesh  and  the 
lust  of  the  eyes  and  the  vainglory 
of  life,  is  not  of  the  Father,  but  is 
of  the  world.  17  And  the  world 
passeth  away,  and  the  lust  thereof: 
but  he  that  doeth  the  will  of  God 
abideth  for  ever. 

18  Little  children,  it  is  the  last 
hour :  and  as  ye  heard  that  anti- 
christ cometh,  even  now  have  there 
arisen  many  antichrists ;  whereby  we 
know  that  it  is  the  last  hour.  19 
They  went  out  from  us,  but  they 
were  not  of  us;  for  if  they  had  been 
of  us,  they  would  have  continued 
with  us:  but  they  went  out,  that 
they  might  be  made  manifest  that 
they  all  are  not  of  us.  20  And  ye 
have  an  anointing  from  the  Holy 
One,  and  ye  know  all  things.  21  I 
have  not  written  unto  you  because 
ye  know  not  the  truth,  but  because 
ye  know  it,  and  because  no  lie  is 
of  the  truth.  22  Who  is  the  liar 
but  he  that  denieth  that  Jesus  is 
the  Christ?  This  is  the  antichrist, 
even  he  that  denieth  the  Father  and 
the  Son.  23  Whosoever  denieth  the 
Son,  the  same  hath  not  the  Father : 
he  that  confesseth  the  Son  hath  the 


hateth   his   brother,    is   in   darkness   even 
until  now. 

10  He  that  loveth  his  brother,  abideth 
in  the  light,  and  there  is  no  scandal  in  him. 

11  But  he  that  hateth  his  brother,  is  in 
darkness,  and  walketh  in  darkness,  and 
knoweth  not  whither  he  goeth;  because 
the  darkness  hath  blinded  his  eyes. 

12  I  write  unto  you,  little  children,  be- 
cause your  sins  are  forgiven  you  for  his 
name's  sake. 

13  I  write  unto  you,  fathers,  because 
you  have  known  him,  who  is  from  the 
beginning.  I  write  unto  you,  young 
men,  because  you  have  overcome  the 
wicked  one. 

14  I  write  unto  you,  babes,  because  you 
have  known  the  Father.  I  write  unto 
you,  young  men,  because  you  are  strong, 
and  the  word  of  God  abideth  in  you,  and 
you  have  overcome  the  wicked  one, 

15  Love  not  the  world,  nor  the  things, 
which  are  in  the  world.  If  any  man  love 
the  world,  the  charity  of  the  Father  is 
not  in  him. 

16  For  all  that  is  in  the  world,  is  the 
concupiscence  of  the  flesh,  and  the  con- 
cupiscence of  the  eyes,  and  the  pride  of 
life,  which  is  not  of  the  Father,  but  is  of 
the  world. 

17  And  the  world  passeth  away,  and  the 
concupiscence  thereof:  but  he  that  doth 
the  will  of  God,  abideth  for  ever. 

18  Little  children,  it  is  the  last  hour; 
and  as  you  have  heard  that  Antichrist 
cometh,  even  now  there  are  become  many 
Antichrists :  whereby  we  know  that  it  is 
the  last  hour. 

19  They  went  out  from  us,  but  they 
were  not  of  us.  For  if  they  had  been  of 
us,  they  would  no  doubt  have  remained 
with  us;  but  that  they  may  be  manifest, 
that  they   are  not  all  of   us. 

20  But  you  have  the  unction  from  the 
Holy  One,  and  know  all  things. 

21  I  have  not  written  to  you  as  to  them 
that  know  not  the  truth,  but  as  to  them 
that  know  it:  and  that  no  lie  is  of  the 
truth. 

22  Who  is  a  liar,  but  he  who  denieth 
that  Jesus  is  the  Christ?  This  is  Anti- 
christ, who  denieth  the  Father,  and  the 
Son. 

23  Whosoever  denieth  the  Son,  the 
same  hath  not  the  Father.  He  that  con- 
fesseth the  Son,  hath  the  Father  also.

heard  from  the  beginning,  abide  in  you. 
If  that  abide  in  you,  which  you  have  heard

ning   shall    remain    in  you,   ye   also    shall 
continue  in  the  Son,  and  in  the  Father. 

25  And  this  is  the  promise  that  he  hath 
promised   us,   even   eternal    life. 

26  These  things  have  I  written  unto 
you   concerning  them   that   seduce  you. 

27  But  the  anointing  which  ye  have  re- 
ceived of  him  abideth  in  you,  and  ye  need 
not  that  any  man  teach  you :  but  as  the 
same  anointing  teacheth  you  of  all  things, 
and  is  truth,  and  is  no  lie,  and  even  as 
it  hath  taught  you,  ye  shall  abide  in  him. 

28  And  now,  little  children,  abide  in 
him;  that,  when  he  shall  appear,  we  may 
have  confidence,  and  not  be  ashamed  be- 
fore him  at  his  coming. 

29  If  ye  know  that  he  is  righteous,  ye 
know  that  every  one  that  doeth  righteous- 
ness is  born  of  him. 


CHAPTER  3. 

BEHOLD,  what  manner  of  love  the 
Father  hath  bestowed  upon  us,  that 
we  should  be  called  the  sons  of  God: 
therefore  the  world  knoweth  us  not,  be- 
cause it  knew  him  not. 

2  Beloved,  now  are  we  the  sons  of 
God,  and  it  doth  not  yet  appear  what 
we  shall  be:  but  we  know  that,  when  he 
shall  appear,  we  shall  be  like  him;  for 
we  shall  see  him  as  he  is. 

3  And  every  man  that  hath  this  hope 
in  him  purifieth  himself,  even  as  he  is 
pure. 

4  Whosoever  committeth  sin  transgress- 
eth  also  the  law:  for  sin  is  the  trans- 
gressiori  of  the  law. 

5  And  ye  know  that  he  was  mani- 
fested to  take  away  our  sins;  and  in  him 
is  no  sin. 

6  Whosoever  abideth  in  him  sinneth 
not :  whosoever  sinneth  hath  not  seen 
him,   neither  known   him. 

7  Little  children,  let  no  man  deceive 
you :  he  that  doeth  righteousness  is 
righteous,    even    as    he    is    righteous. 

8  He  that  committeth  sin  is  of  the 
devil ;  for  the  devil  sinneth  from  the  be- 
ginning. For  this  purpose  the  Son  of 
God  was  manifested,  that  he  might  de- 
stroy the  works  of  the  devil. 

9  Whosoever  is  born  of  God  doth  not 
commit   sin;    for   his   seed   remaineth   in 


Father  also.  24  As  for  you,  let  that 
abide  in  you  which  ye  heard  from 
the  beginning.  If  that  which  ye 
heard  from  the  beginning  abide  in 
you,  ye  also  shall  abide  in  the  Son, 
and  in  the  Father,  25  And  this  is 
the  promise  which  he  promised  us, 
even  the  life  eternal.  26  These 
things  have  I  written  unto  you  con- 
cerning them  that  would  lead  you 
astray.  27  And  as  for  you,  the 
anointing  which  ye  received  of  him 
abideth  in  you,  and  ye  need  not 
that  any  one  teach  you;  but  as  his 
anointing  teacheth  you  concerning 
all  things,  and  is  true,  and  is  no 
lie,  and  even  as  it  taught  you,  ye 
abide  in  him.  28  And  now,  my  little 
children,  abide  in  him ;  that,  if  he 
shall  be  manifested,  we  may  have 
boldness,  and  not  be  ashamed  be- 
fore him  at  his  coming.  29  If  ye 
know  that  he  is  righteous,  ye  know 
that  every  one  also  that  doeth  right- 
eousness is  begotten  of  him. 

T>EHOLD  what  manner  of  love 
3-D  the  Father  hath  bestowed 
upon  us,  that  we  should  be  called 
children  of  God :  and  such  we  are. 
For  this  cause  the  world  knoweth 
us  not,  because  it  knew  him  not. 
2  Beloved,  now  are  we  children  of 
God,  and  it  is  not  yet  made  mani- 
fest what  we  shall  be.  We  know 
that,  if  he  shall  be  manifested,  we 
shall  be  like  him ;  for  we  shall  see 
him  even  as  he  is.  3  And  every  one 
that  hath  this  hope  set  on  him  puri- 
fieth  himself,  even  as  he  is  pure. 
4  Every  one  that  doeth  sin  doeth 
also  lawlessness:  and  sin  is  lawless- 
ness. 5  And  ye  know  that  he  was 
manifested  to  take  away  sins;  and 
in  him  is  no  sin.  6  Whosoever  abid- 
eth in  him  sinneth  not:  whosoever 
sinneth  hath  not  seen  him,  neither 
knoweth  him.  7  My  little  children, 
let  no  man  lead  you  astray:  he  that 
doeth  righteousness  is  righteous, 
even  as  he  is  righteous :  8  he  that 
doeth  sin  is  of  the  devil ;  for  the 
devil  sinneth  from  the  beginning. 
To  this  end  was  the  Son  of  God 
manifested,  that  he  might  destroy 
the  works  of  the  devil.  9  Whoso- 
ever is  begotten  of  God  doeth  no 
sin,  because  his  seed  abideth  in  him : 
and   he   cannot   sin,   because  he   is

Father  also.  24  As  for  you,  let  that 
abide  in  you  which  ye  heard  from 
the  beginning.  If  that  which  ye 
heard  from  the  beginning  abide  in 
yon,  ye  also  shall  abide  in  the  Son, 
and  in  the  Father.  25  And  this  is 
the  promise  which  he  promised  us, 
even  the  life  eternal.  26  These 
things  have  I  written  unto  you  con- 
cerning them  that  would  lead  you 
astray.  27  And  as  for  you,  the 
anointing  which  ye  received  of  him 
abideth  in  you,  and  ye  need  not 
that  any  one  teach  you ;  but  as  his 
anointing  teacheth  you  concerning 
all  things,  and  is  true,  and  is  no  lie, 
and  even  as  it  taught  you,  ye  abide 
in  him.  28  And  now,  my  little  chil- 
dren, abide  in  him;  that,  if  he  shall 
be  manifested,  we  may  have  bold- 
ness, and  not  be  ashamed  before  him 
at  his  coming.  29  If  ye  know  that 
he  is  righteous,  ye  know  that  every 
one  also  that  doeth  righteousness  is 
begotten  of  him. 

T3EH0LD  what  manner  of  love 
3JLJ  the  Father  hath  bestowed 
upon  us,  that  we  should  be  called 
children  of  God;  and  such  we  are. 
For  this  cause  the  world  knoweth 
us  not,  because  it  knew  him  not. 
2  Beloved,  now  are  we  children  of 
God,  and  it  is  not  yet  made  manifest 
what  we  shall  be.  We  know  that, 
if  he  shall  be  manifested,  we  shall 
be  like  him;  for  we  shall  see  him 
even  as  he  is.  3  And  every  one 
that  hath  this  hope  set  on  him  puri- 
fieth  himself,  even  as  he  is  pure. 
4  Every  one  that  doeth  sin  doeth 
also  lawlessness ;  and  sin  is  law- 
lessness. 5  And  ye  know  that  he 
was  manifested  to  take  away  sins; 
and  in  him  is  no  sin.  6  Whosoever 
abideth  in  him  sinneth  not :  whoso- 
ever sinneth  hath  not  seen  him, 
neither  knoweth  him.  7  My  little 
children,  let  no  man  lead  you  astray : 
he  that  doeth  righteousness  is  right- 
eous, even  as  he  is  righteous:  8  he 
that  doeth  sin  is  of  the  devil ;  for 
the  devil  sinneth  from  the  begin- 
ning. To  this  end  was  the  Son 
of  God  manifested,  that  he  might 
destroy  the  works  of  the  devil.  9 
Whosoever  is  begotten  of  God  doeth 
no  sin,  because  his  seed  abideth  in 
him:  and  he  cannot  sin,  because  he 


from  the  beginning,  you  also  shall  abide 
in   the   Son,  and  in  the  Father. 

25  And  this  is  the  promise  which  he 
hath  promised  us,   life  everlasting. 

26  These  things  have  I  written  to  you, 
concerning  them  that  seduce  you. 

27  And  as  for  you,  let  the  unction, 
which  you  have  received  from  him,  abide 
in  you.  And  you  have  no  need  that  any 
man  teach  you ;  but  as  his  unction  teach- 
eth you  of  all  things,  and  is  truth,  and  is 
no  lie.  And  as  it  hath  taught  you,  abide 
in  him. 

28  And  now,  little  children,  abide  in 
him,  that  when  he  shall  appear,  we  may 
have  confidence,  and  not  be  confounded 
by  him  at  his  coming. 

29  If  you  know,  that  he  is  just,  know 
ye,  that  every  one  also,  who  doth  justice, 
is  born  of  him. 


CHAPTER  3. 

BEHOLD  what  manner  of  chanty  the 
Father  hath  bestowed  upon  us,  that 
we  should  be  called,  and  should  be  the 
sons  of  God.  Therefore  the  world  know- 
eth not  us,  because  it  knew  not  him, 

2  Dearly  beloved,  we  are  now  the  sons 
of  God;  and  it  hath  not  yet  appeared 
what  we  shall  be.  We  know,  that,  when 
he  shall  appear,  we  shall  be  like  to  him : 
because  we  shall  see  him  as  he  is. 

3  And  every  one  that  hath  this  hope  in 
him,  sanctifieth  himself,  as  he  also  is 
holy. 

4  Whosoever  committeth  sin  commit- 
teth  also  iniquity;  and  sin  is  iniquity. 

5  And  you  know  that  he  appeared  to 
take  away  our  sins,  and  in  him  there  is 
no  sin. 

6  Whosoever  abideth  in  him,  sinneth 
not ;  and  whosoever  sinneth,  hath  not  seen 
him,  nor  known  him. 

7  Little  children,  let  no  man  deceive

11  For  this  is  the  message  that  ye 
heard  from  the  beginning,  that  we  should 
love  one   another. 

12  Not  as  Cain,  who  was  of  that 
wicked  one,  and  slew  his  brother.  And 
wherefore  slew  he  him?  Because  his  own 
works  were  evil,  and  his  brother's  right- 
eous.

world  hate  you. 

14  We  know  that  we  have  passed  from 
death  unto  life,  because  we  love  the  breth- 
ren. He  that  loveth  not  his  brother  abid- 
eth  in  death. 

15  Whosoever  hateth  his  brother  is  a 
murderer:  and  ye  know  that  no  murderer 
hath  eternal  life  abiding  in  him. 

16  Hereby  perceive  we  the  love  of  God, 
because  he  laid  down  his  life  for  us:  and 
we  ought  to  lay  down  our  lives  for  the 
brethren. 

17  But  whoso  hath  this  world's  good, 
and  seeth  his  brother  have  need,  and 
shutteth  up  his  bowels  of  compassion 
from  him,  how  dwelleth  the  love  of  God 
in  him? 

18  My  little  children,  let  us  not  love 
in  word,  neither  in  tongue;  but  in  deed 
and  in  truth. 

19  And  hereby  we  know  that  we  are

not,  then  have  we  confidence  toward  God.

we  should  believe  on  the  name  of  his  Son 
Jesus  Christ,  and  love  one  another,  as  he

CHAPTER  4. 

BELOVED,  believe  not  every  spirit,  but 
try  the  spirits  whether  they  are  of 
God :  because  many  false  prophets  are 
gone  out  into  the  world. 

2  Hereby  know  ye  the  Spirit  of  God: 
Every  spirit  that  confesseth  that  Jesus 
Christ  is  come  in  the  flesh  is  of  God: 

3  And  every  spirit  that  confesseth  not 
that  Jesus  Christ  is  come  in  the  flesh  is 
not  of  God :  and  this  is  that  spirit  of  anti- 
christ, whereof  ye  have  heard  that  it 
should  come;  and  even  now  already  is  it 
in  the  world. 

4  Ye  are  of  God,  little  children,  and 
have  overcome  them:  because  greater  is 
he  that  is  in  you,  than  he  that  is  in  the 
world. 

5  They  are  of  the  world:  therefore 
speak  they  of  the  world,  and  the  world 
heareth  them. 

6  We  are  of  God:  he  that  knoweth 
God  heareth  us;  Le  that  is  not  of  God 
heareth  not  us.  Hereby  know  we  the 
spirit  of  truth,  and  the  spirit  of  error. 

7  Beloved,  let  us  love  one  another:  for 
love  is  of  God ;  and  every  one  that  loveth 
is  born  of  God,  and  knoweth  God. 

8  He  that  loveth  not  knoweth  not  God ; 
for  God  is  love. 

9  In  this  was  manifested  the  love  of 
God  toward  us,  because  that  God  seni  his 
only  begotten  Son  into  the  world,  that 
we  might  live  through  him. 

10  Herein  is  love,  not  that  we  loved 
God,  but  that  he  loved  us,  and  sent 
his  Son  to  he  the  propitiation  for  our 
sins. 

11  Beloved,  if  God  so  loved  us,  we 
ought  also  to  love  one  another. 

12  No  man  hath  seen  God  at  any  time. 
If  we  love  one  another,  God  dwelleth  in 
us,  and  his  love  is  perfected  in  us. 

13  Hereby  know  we  that  we  dwell  in 
him,  and  he  in  us,  because  he  hath  given 
us  of  his   Spirit. 

14  And  we  have  seen  and  do  testify 
that  the  Father  sent  the  Son  to  he  the 
Saviour  of  the  world. 

15  Whosoever  shall  confess  that  Jesus 
is  the  Son  of  God,  God  dwelleth  in  him, 
and  he  in  God. 

16  And  we  have  known  and  believed

love ;  and  he  that  dwelleth  in  love  dwell-

which  confesseth  that  Jesus  Christ 
is  come  in  the  flesh  is  of  God :  3  and 
every  spirit  which  confesseth  not 
Jesus  is  not  of  God :  and  this  is  the 
spirit  of  the  antichrist,  whereof  ye 
have  heard  that  it  cometh ;  and  now 
it  is  in  the  world  already.  4  Ye 
are  of  God,  my  little  children, 
and  have  overcome  them :  because 
greater  is  he  that  is  in  you  than 
he  that  is  in  the  world.  5  They  are 
of  the  world :  therefore  speak  they 
as  of  the  world,  and  the  world  hear-

that  knoweth  God  heareth  us;  he 
who  is  not  of  God  heareth  us  not. 
By  this  we  know  the  spirit  of  truth, 
and  the  spirit  of  error. 

7  Beloved,  let  us  love  one  an-

one  that  loveth  is  begotten  of  God, 
and  knoweth  God.  8  He  that  loveth 
not  knoweth  not  God ;  for  God  is 
love.  9  Herein  was  the  love  of  God

know  we  that  we  abide  in  him,  and

God,  and  God  abideth  in  him.  17 
Herein  is  love  made  perfect  with  us,

torment.  He  that  feareth  is  not  made

20  If  a  man  say,  I  love  God,  and

WHOSOEVER  believeth  that  Jesus  is 
the  Christ  is  born  of  God :  and 
every  one  that  loveth  him  that  begat  lov- 
eth him  also  that  is  begotten  of  him. 

2  By  this  we  know  that  we  love  the 
children  of  God,  when  we  love  God,  and 
keep  his  commandments. 

3  For  this  is  the  love  of  God,  that  we 
keep  his  commandments :  and  his  com- 
mandments are  not  grievous. 

4  For  whatsoever  is  born  of  God  over- 
cometh  the  world :  and  this  is  the  vic- 
tory that  overcometh  the  world,  even  our 
faith. 

5  Who  is  he  that  overcometh  the  world, 
but  he  that  believeth  that  Jesus  is  the  Son 
of  God? 

6  This  is  he  that  came  by  water  and 
blood,  even  Jesus  Christ ;  not  by  water 
only,  but  by  water  and  blood.  And  it  is 
the  Spirit  that  beareth  witness,  because 
the  Spirit  is  truth. 

7  For  there  are  three  that  bear  record 
in  heaven,  the  Father,  the  Word,  and 
the  Holy  Ghost:  and  these  three  are 
one. 

8  And  there  are  three  that  bear  wit- 
ness in  earth,  the  spirit,  and  the  water, 
and  the  blood:  and  these  three  agree  in 
one. 

9  If  we  receive  the  witness  of  men,  the 
witness  of  God  is  greater :  for  this  is 
the  witness  of  God  which  he  hath  testified 
of  his  Son. 

10  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son  of 
God  hath  the  witness  in  himself:  he  that 
believeth  not  God  hath  made  him  a  liar; 
because  he  believeth  not  the  record  that 
God  gave  of  his  Son. 

11  And   this   is   the   record,   that   God 


18  There  is  no  fear  in  love :  but  per- 
fect love  casteth  out  fear,  because 
fear  hath  punishment;  and  he  that 
feareth  is  not  made  perfect  in  love. 

19  We  love,  because  he  first  loved 
us.  20  If  a  man  say,  I  love  God, 
and  hateth  his  brother,  he  is  a  liar: 
for  he  that  loveth  not  his  brother 
whom  he  hath  seen,  cannot  love  God 
whom  he  hath  not  seen.  21  And 
this  commandment  have  we  from 
him,  that  he  who  loveth  God  love 
his  brother  also. 


-T17H0S0EVER  believeth  that 
5  ▼  ▼  Jesus  is  the  Christ  is  be- 
gotten of  God :  and  whosoever  lov- 
eth him  that  begat  loveth  him  also 
that  is  begotten  of  him.  2  Hereby 
we  know  that  we  love  the  children 
of  God,  when  we  love  God,  and  do 
his  commandments.  3  For  this  is 
the  love  of  God,  that  we  keep  his 
commandments :  and  his  command- 
ments are  not  grievous.  4  For 
whatsoever  is  begotten  of  God  over- 
cometh the  world:  and  this  is  the 
victory  that  hath  overcome  the 
world,  even  our  faith.  5  And  who 
is  he  that  overcometh  the  world, 
but  he  that  believeth  that  Jesus 
is  the  Son  of  God?  6  This  is  he 
that  came  by  water  and  blood,  even 
Jesus  Christ;  not  with  the  water 
only,  but  with  the  water  and  with 
the  blood.  7  And  it  is  the  Spirit 
that  beareth  witness,  because  the 
Spirit  is  the  truth.  8  For  there  are 
three  who  bear  witness,  the  Spirit, 
and  the  water,  and  the  blood:  and 
the  three  agree  in  one.  9  If  we 
receive  the  witness  of  men,  the 
witness  of  God  is  greater:  for  the 
witness  of  God  is  this,  that  he  hath 
borne  witness  concerning  his  Son. 
10  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son  of 
God  hath  the  witness  in  him :  he 
that  believeth  not  God  hath  made 
him  a  liar ;  because  he  hath  not  be- 
lieve'd  in  the  witness  that  God  hath 
borne  concerning  his  Son.  11  And 
the  witness  is  this,  that  God  gave 
unto  us  eternal  life,  and  this  life  is 
in  his   Son.     12  He  that  hath  the

fear  in  love :  but  perfect  love  cast- 
eth  out  fear,  because  fear  hath  pun- 
ishment; and  he  that  feareth  is  not 
made  perfect  in  love.  19  We  love, 
because  he  first  loved  us.  20  If  a 
man  say,  I  love  God,  and  hateth  his 
brother,  he  is  a  liar :  for  he  that  lov- 
eth  not  his  brother  whom  he  hath 
seen,  cannot  love  God  whom  he  hath 
not  seen.  21  And  this  command- 
ment have  we  from  him,  that  he 
who  loveth  God  love  his  brother 
also. 


T\rHOSOEVER  believeth  that 
5  ^  »  Jesus  is  the  Christ  is  be- 
gotten of  God :  and  whosoever  lov- 
eth him  that  begat  loveth  him  also 
that  is  begotten  of  him.  2  Hereby 
we  know  that  we  love  the  children 
of  God,  when  we  love  God  and  do 
his  commandments.  3  For  this  is 
the  love  of  God,  that  we  keep  his 
commandments :  and  his  command- 
ments are  not  grievous.  4  For 
whatsoever  is  begotten  of  God  over- 
cometh  the  world:  and  this  is  the 
victory  that  hath  overcome  the 
world,  even  our  faith.  5  And  who 
is  he  that  overcometh  the  world,  but 
he  that  believeth  that  Jesus  is  the 
Son  of  God?  6  This  is  he  that 
came  by  water  and  blood,  even 
Jesus  Christ ;  not  with  the  water 
only,  but  with  the  water  and  with 
the  blood.  7  And  it  is  the  Spirit 
that  beareth  witness,  because  the 
Spirit  is  the  truth.  8  For  there  are 
three  who  bear  witness,  the  Spirit, 
and  the  water,  and  the  blood:  and 
the  three  agree  in  one.  9  If  we 
receive  the  witness  of  men,  the  wit- 
ness of  God  is  greater :  for  the  wit- 
ness of  God  is  this,  that  he  hath 
borne  witness  concerning  his  Son. 
10  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son  of 
God  hath  the  witness  in  him :  he 
that  believeth  not  God  hath  made 
him  a  liar ;  because  he  hath  not  be- 
lieved in  the  witness  that  God  hath 
borne  concerning  his  Son.  11  And 
the  witness  is  this,  that  God  gave 
unto  us  eternal  life,  and  this  life  is 
in  his  Son.     12  He  that  hath  the 


fidence  in  the  day  of  judgment:  because 
as  he  is,  we  also  are  in  this  world. 

18  Fear  is  not  in  charity :  but  perfect 
charity  casteth  out  fear,  because  fear  hath 
pain.  And  he  that  feareth,  is  not  per- 
fected in  charity. 

19  Let  us  therefore  love  God,  because 
God  first  hath  loved  us. 

20  If  any  man  say,  I  love  God,  and 
hateth  his  brother;  he  is  a  liar.  For  he 
that  loveth  not  his  brother,  whom  he 
seeth,  how  can  he  love  God,  whom  he 
seeth  not? 

21  And  this  commandment  we  have 
from  God,  that  he,  who  loveth  God,  love 
also  his  brother. 

CHAPTER  5. 

WHOSOEVER  believeth  that  Jesus  is 
the  Christ,  is  born  of  God.  And 
every  one  that  loveth  him  who  begot, 
loveth  him  also  who  is  born  of  him. 

2  In  this  we  know  that  we  love  the 
children  of  God:  when  we  love  God,  and 
keep  his  commandments. 

3  For  this  is  the  charity  of  God,  that  we 
keep  his  commandments:  and  his  com- 
mandments are  not  heavy. 

4  For  whatsoever  is  born  of  God,  over- 
cometh the  world :  and  this  is  the  vic- 
tory which  overcometh  the  world,  our 
faith. 

5  Who  is  he  that  overcometh  the  world, 
but  he  that  believeth  that  Jesus  is  the 
Son  of  God? 

6  This  is  he  that  came  by  water  and 
blood,  Jesus  Christ:  not  by  water  only, 
but  by  water  and  blood.  And  it  is  the 
Spirit  which  testifieth,  that  Christ  is  the 
truth. 

7  And  there  are  three  who  give  testi- 
mony in  heaven,  the  Father,  the  Word, 
and  the  Holy  Ghost.  And  these  three 
are  one. 

8  And  there  are  three  that  give  testi- 
mony on  earth :  the  spirit,  and  the  water, 
and  the  blood :  and  these  three  are  one. 

9  If  we  receive  the  testimony  of  men, 
the  testimony  of  God  is  greater.  For  this 
is  the  testimony  of  God,  which  is  greater, 
because  he  hath  testified  of  his  Son. 

10  He  that  believeth  in  the  Son  of  God, 
hath  the  testimony  of  God  in  himself. 
He  that  believeth  not  the  Son,  maketh 
him  a  liar:  because  he  believeth  not  in 
the  testimony  which  God  hath  testified 
of  his  Son. 

11  And  this  is  the  testimony,  that  God

II.  JOHN. 


REVISED 


hath  given  to  us  eternal  life,  and  this  life 
is  in  his  Son. 

12  He  that  hath  the  Son  hath  life ;  and 
he  that  hath  not  the  Son  of  God  hath 
not  life. 

13  These  things  have  I  written  unto 
you  that  believe  on  the  name  of  the  Son 
of  God;  that  ye  may  know  that  ye  have 
eternal  life,  and  that  ye  may  believe  on 
the  name  of  the  Son  of  God. 

14  And  this  is  the  confidence  that  we 
have  in  him,  that,  if  we  ask  any  thing 
according  to  his  will,  he  heareth  us : 

15  And  if  we  know  that  he  hear  us, 
whatsoever  we  ask,  we  know  that  we  have 
the  petitions  that  we  desired  of  him. 

16  If  any  man  see  his  brother  sin  a 
sin  which  is  not  unto  death,  he  shall  ask, 
and  he  shall  give  him  life  for  them  that 
sin  not  unto  death.  There  is  a  sin  unto 
death:  I  do  not  say  that  he  shall  pray 
for  it. 

17  All  unrighteousness  is  sin :  and  there 
is  a  sin  not  unto  death. 

18  We  know  that  whosoever  is  born 
of  God  sinneth  not ;  but  he  that  is  be- 
gotten of  God  keepeth  himself,  and  that 
wicked  one  toucheth  him  not. 

19  Atid  we  know  that  we  are  of  God, 
and  the  whole  world  lieth  in  wickedness. 

20  And  we  know  that  the  Son  of  God 
is  come,  and  hath  given  us  an  under- 
standing, that  we  may  know  him  that  is 
true,  and  we  are  in  him  that  is  true,  even 
in  his  Son  Jesus  Christ.  This  is  the  true 
God,  and  eternal  life. 

21  Little  children,  keep  yourselves  from 
idols.    Amen. 


Son  hath  the  life;  he  that  hath  not 
the  Son  of  God  hath  not  the  life. 

13  These  things  have  I  written 
unto  you,  that  ye  may  know  that 
ye  have  eternal  life,  even  unto  you 
that  believe  on  the  name  of  the  Son 
of  God.  14  And  this  is  the  bold- 
ness which  we  have  toward  him, 
that,  if  we  ask  anything  according 
to  his  will,  he  heareth  us:  15  and 
if  we  know  that  he  heareth  us  what- 
soever we  ask,  we  know  that  we 
have  the  petitions  which  we  have 
asked  of  him.  16  If  any  man  see 
his  brother  sinning  a  sin  not  unto 
death,  he  shall  ask,  and  God  will 
give  him  life  for  them  that  sin  not 
unto  death.  There  is  a  sin  unto 
death :  not  concerning  this  do  I 
say  that  he  should  make  request. 
17  All  unrighteousness  is  sin:  and 
there  is  a  sin  not  unto  death. 

18  We  know  that  whosoever  is 
begotten  of  God  sinneth  not ;  but 
he  that  was  begotten  of  God  keep- 
eth him,  and  the  evil  one  toucheth 
him  not.  19  We  know  that  we  are 
of  God,  and  the  whole  world  lieth 
in  the  evil  one.  20  And  we  know 
that  the  Son  of  God  is  come,  and 
hath  given  us  an  understanding, 
that  we  know  him  that  is  true,  and 
we  are  in  him  that  is  true,  even  in 
his  Son  Jesus  Christ.  This  is  the 
true  God,  and  eternal  life.  21  My 
little  children,  guard  yourselves

13  These  things  have  I  written 
unto  you,  that  ye  may  know  that 
ye  have  eternal  life,  even  unto  you 
that  believe  on  the  name  of  the 
Son  of  God.  14  And  this  is  the 
boldness  which  we  have  toward  him, 
that,  if  we  ask  anything  according

unrighteousness  is  sin :  and  there  is

13  These  things  I  write  to  you,  that 
you  may  know  that  you  have  eternal  life, 
you  who  believe  in  the  name  of  the  Son

unto  thee,  but  that  which  we  had  from

deceiver  and  an  antichrist. 

8  Look  to  yourselves,  that  we  lose  not

that  we  receive  a  full  reward. 

9  Whosoever  transgresseth,  and  abid-

commandment  from  the  Father. 
5  And  now  I  beseech  thee,  lady,  not 
'as  though  I  wrote  to  thee  a  new 
commandment,  but  that  which  we 
had  from  the  beginning,  that  we 
love  one  another.  6  And  this  is 
love,  that  we  should  walk  after  his 
commandments.  This  is  the  com- 
mandment, even  as  ye  heard  from 
the  beginning,  that  ye  should  walk 
in  it.  7  For  many  deceivers  are 
gone  forth  into  the  world,  even  they 
that  confess  not  that  Jesus  Christ 
cometh  in  the  flesh.  This  is  the  de- 
ceiver and  the  antichrist.  8  Look 
to  yourselves,  that  ye  lose  not  the 
things  which  we  have  wrought,  but 
that  ye  receive  a  full  reward.  9 
Whosoever  goeth  onward  and  abid- 
eth  not  in  the  teaching  of  Christ, 
hath  not  God :  he  that  abideth  in 
the  teaching,  the  same  hath  both  the 
Father  and  the  Son.  10  If  any  one 
cometh  unto  you,  and  bringeth  not 
this  teaching,  receive  him  not  into 
your  house,  and  give  him  no  greet- 
ing: II  for  he  that  giveth  him 
greeting  partaketh  in  his  evil  works, 
12  Having  many  things  to  write 
unto  you,  I  would  not  write  them 
with  paper  and  ink :  but  I  hope  to 
come  unto  you,  and  to  speak  face 
to  face,  that  your  joy  may  be  made 
full.  13  The  children  of  thine  elect 
sister  salute  thee. 


5  And  now  I  beseech  thee,  lady,  not 
as  writing  a  new  commandment  to  thee, 
but  that  which  we  have  had  from  the 
beginning,  that  we  love  one  another. 

6  And  this  is  charity,  that  we  walk  ac- 
cording to  his  commandents.  For  this 
is  the  commandment,  that,  as  you  have 
heard  from  the  beginning,  you  should 
walk  in  the  same : 

7  For  many  seducers  are  gone  out  into 
the  world,  who  confess  not  that  Jesus 
Christ  is  come  in  the  flesh:  this  is  a 
seducer  and  an  antichrist. 

8  Look  to  yourselves,  that  you  lose  not 
the  things  which  you  have  wrought:  but 
that  you  may  receive  a  full  reward. 

9  Whosoever  revolteth,  and  continueth 
not  in  the  doctrine  of  Christ,  hath  not 
God.  He  that  continueth  in  the  doctrine, 
the  same  hath  both  the  Father  and  the 
Son. 

10  If  any  man  come  to  you,  and  bring 
not  this  doctrine,  receive  him  not  into 
the  house  nor  say  to  him,  God  speed  you. 

11  For  he  that  saith  unto  him,  God 
speed  you,  communicateth  with  his  wicked 
works. 

12  Having  more  things  to  write  unto 
you,  I  would  not  by  paper  and  ink :  for  I 
hope  that  I  shall  be  with  you,  and  speak 
face  to  face:  that  your  joy  may  be  full,

4  For  there  are  certain  men  crept  in

men,  turning  the  grace  of  our  God  into 
lasciviousness,  and  denying  the  only  Lord 
God,  and  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

5  I  will  therefore  put  you  in  remem-

that  the  Lord,  having  saved  the  people 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  afterward  de-

6  And  the  angels  which  kept  not  their 
first  estate,  but  left  their  own  habitation,

of  eternal  fire. 

8  Likewise  also  these  filthy  dreamers 
defile  the  flesh,  despise  dominion,  and 
speak  evil  of  dignities. 

9  Yet  Michael  the  archangel,  when  con- 
tending with  the  devil  he  disputed  about 
the  body  of  Moses,  durst  not  bring  against 
him  a  railing  accusation,  but  said,  The 
Lord  rebuke  thee. 

10  But  these  speak  evil  of  those  things

things  they  corrupt  themselves. 

11  Woe  unto  them!  for  they  have  gone 
in  the  way  of  Cain,  and  ran  greedily 
after  the  error  of  Balaam  for  reward,  and 
perished  in  the  gainsaying  of  Core.

out  their  own  shame ;  wandering  stars,  to 
whom  is  reserved  the  blackness  of  dark-

reason,  in  these  things  are  they  de- 
stroyed. II  Woe  unto  them!  for 
they  went  in  the  way  of  Cain,  and 
ran  riotously  in  the  error  of  Balaam 
for  hire,  and  perished  in  the  gain- 
saying of  Korah.  12  These  are  they 
who  are  hidden  rocks  in  your  love- 
feasts  when  they  feast  with  you, 
shepherds  that  without  fear  feed 
themselves:  clouds  without  water, 
carried  along  by  winds;  autumn 
trees  without  fruit,  twice  dead, 
plucked  up  by  the  roots;  13  wild 
waves  of  the  sea,  foaming  out  their 
own  shame ;  wanderjng  stars,  for 
whom  the  blackness  of  darkness 
hath  been  reserved  for  ever.  14 
And  to  these  also  Enoch,  the  sev- 
enth from  Adam,  prophesied,  saying. 
Behold,  the  Lord  came  with  ten 
thousands  of  his  holy  ones,  15  to 
execute  judgment  upon  all,  and  to 


4  For  certain  men  are  secretly  entered 
in,  (who  were  written  of  long  ago  unto 
this  judgment,)  ungodly  men,  turning  the 
grace  of  our  Lord  God  into  riotousness, 
and  denying  the  only  sovereign  Ruler, 
and  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

5  I  will  therefore  admonish  you,  though 
ye  once  knew  all  things,  that  Jesus,  hav- 
ing saved  the  people  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt,  did  afterwards  destroy  them  that 
believed  not : 

6  And  the  angels  who  kept  not  their 
principality,  but  forsook  their  own  habita- 
tion, he  hath  reserved  under  darkness  in 
everlasting  chains,  unto  the  judgment  of 
the  great  day. 

7  As  Sodom  and  Gomorrha,  and  the 
neighbouring  cities,  in  like  manner,  hav- 
ing given  themselves  to  fornication,  and 
going  after  other  flesh,  were  made  an 
example,  suffering  the  punishment  of 
eternal  fire. 

8  In  like  manner  these  men  also  defile 
the  flesh,  and  despise  dominion,  and  blas- 
pheme majesty. 

9  When  Michael  the  archangel,  disput- 
ing with  the  devil,  contended  about  the 
body  of  Moses,  he  durst  not  bring  against 
him  the  judgment  of  railing  speech,  but 
said:  The  Lord  command  thee. 

10  But  these  men  blaspheme  whatever 
things  they  know  not:  and  what  things 
soever  they  naturally  know,  like  dumb 
beasts,  in  these  they  are  corrupted. 

11  Woe  unto  them,  for  they  have  gone 
in  the  way  of  Cain:  and  after  the  error 
of  Balaam  they  have  for  reward  poured 
out  themselves,  and  have  perished  in  the 
contradiction  of  Core. 

12  These  are  spots  in  their  banquets, 
feasting  together  without  fear,  feeding 
themselves,  clouds  without  water,  which 
are  carried  about  by  winds,  trees  of  the 
autumn,  unfruitful,  twice  dead,  plucked 
up  by  the  roots, 

13  Raging  waves  of  the  sea,  foaming 
out  their  own  confusion ;  wandering  stars, 
to  whom  the  storm  of  darkness  is  re- 
served for  ever. 

14  Now  of  these  Enoch  also,  the  seventh 
from  Adam,  prophesied,  saying:  Behold, 
the  Lord  cometh  with  thousands  of  his 
saints, 

15  To  execute  judgment  upon  all,  and 
to  reprove  all  the  ungodly  for  all  the 
works  of  their  ungodliness,  whereby  they 
have  done  ungodly,  and  of  all  the  hard 
things  which  ungodly  sinners  have  spoken 
against  God.

works  of  ungodliness  which  they 
have  ungodly  wrought,  and  of  all 
the  hard  things  which  ungodly  sin-

These  are  murmurers,  complainers, 
walking  after  their  lusts  (and  their 
mouth  speaketh  great  swelling 
words),  showing  respect  of  persons 
for  the  sake  of  advantage. 

17  But  ye,  beloved,  remember  ye 
the  words  which  have  been  spoken 
before  by  the  apostles  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ;  18  that  they  said  to

are  in  Asia :  Grace  be  unto  you,  and 
peace,  from  him  which  is,  and  which  was, 
and  which  is  to  come ;  and  from  the  seven 
Spirits  which  are  before  his  throne; 

5  And  from  Jesus  Christ,  who  is  the 
faithful  witness,  and  the  first  begotten 
of  the  dead,  and  the  prince  of  the  kings 
of  the  earth.  Unto  him  that  loved  us, 
and  washed  us  from  our  sins  in  his  own 
blood, 

6  And  hath  made  us  kings  and  priests 
unto  God  and  his  Father ;  to  him  be  glory 
and  dominion  for  ever  and  ever.     Amen. 

7  Behold,  he  cometh  with  clouds;  and 
every  eye  shall  see  him,  and  they  also 
which  pierced  him:  and  all  kindreds  of 
the  earth  shall  wail  because  of  him.  Even 
so,  Amen. 

8  I  am  Alpha  and  Omega,  the  begin- 
ning and  the  ending,  saith  the  Lord, 
which  is,  and  which  was,  and  which  is  to 
come,  the  Almighty. 

9  I  John,  who  also  am  your  brother, 
and  companion  in  tribulation,  and  in  the 
kingdom  and  patience  of  Jesus  Christ, 
was  in  the  isle  that  is  called  Patmos,  for 
the  word  of  God,  and  for  the  testimony 
of  Jesus  Christ. 

ID  I  was  in  the  Spirit  on  the  Lord's 
day,  and  heard  behind  me  a  great  voice, 
as  of  a  trumpet, 

11  Saying,  I  am  Alpha  and  Omega, 
the  first  and  the  last:  and,  What  thou 
seest,  write  in  a  book,  and  send  it  unto 
the  seven  churches  which  are  in  Asia ; 
unto  Ephesus,  and  unto  Smyrna,  and 
unto  Pergamos,  and  unto  Thyatira,  and 
unto  Sardis,  and  unto  Philadelphia,  and 
unto  Laodicea. 

12  And  I  turned  to  see  the  voice  that 
spake  with  me.  And  being  turned,  I  saw 
seven  golden  candlesticks; 

13  And  in  the  midst  of  the  seven  can- 
dlesticks otie  like  unto  the  Son  of  man, 
clothed  with  a  garment  down  to  the  foot, 
and  girt  about  the  paps  with  a  golden 
girdle. 

14  His  head  and  his  hairs  were  white 
like  wool,  as  white  as  snow;  and  his  eyes 
were  as  a  flame  of  fire; 

15  And  his  feet  like  unto  fine  brass, 
as  if  they  burned  in  a  furnace;  and  his 
voice  as  the  sound  of  many  waters. 

16  And  he  had  in  his  right  hand  seven 
stars :  and  out  of  his  mouth  went  a  sharp 


which  are  written  therein :  for  the 
time  is  at  hand. 

4  John  to  the  seven  churches 
which  are  in  Asia :  Grace  to  you 
and  peace,  from  him  which  is  and 
which  was  and  which  is  to  come ; 
and  from  the  seven  Spirits  which 
are  before  his  throne;  5  and  from 
Jesus  Christ,  who  is  the  faithful 
witness,  the  firstborn  of  the  dead, 
and  the  ruler  of  the  kings  of  the 
earth.  Unto  him  that  loveth  us, 
and  loosed  us  from  our  sins  by 
his  blood;  6  and  he  made  us  to  be 
a  kingdom,  to  be  priests  unto  his 
God  and  Father;  to  him  be  the 
glory  and  the  dominion  for  ever 
and  ever.  Amen.  7  Behold,  he 
cometh  with  the  clouds;  and  every 
eye  shall  see  him,  and  they  which 
pierced  him ;  and  all  the  tribes  of 
the  earth  shall  mourn  over  him. 
Even  so,  Amen. 

8  I  am  the  Alpha  and  the  Omega, 
saith  the  Lord  God,  which  is  and 
which  was  and  which  is  to  come, 
the  Almighty. 

9  I  John,  your  brother  and  par- 
taker with  you  in  the  tribulation 
and  kingdom  and  patience  which

hair  were  white  as  white  wool, 
white  as  snow ;  and  his  eyes  were 
as  a  flame  of  fire;  15  and  his  feet 
like  unto  burnished  brass,  as  if  it 
had  been  refined  in  a  furnace ;  and

God,  and  for  the  testimony  of  Jesus. 

10  I  was  in  the  spirit  on  the  Lord's  day, 
and  heard  behind  me  a  great  voice,  as  of 
a  trumpet, 

11  Saying:  What  thou  seest,  write  in  a 
book,  and  send  to  the  seven  churches 
which  are  in  Asia,  to  Ephesus,  and  to 
Smyrna,  and  to  Pergamus,  and  to  Thya- 
tira, and  to  Sardis,  and  to  Philadelphia, 
and  to  Laodicea. 

12  And  I  turned  to  see  the  voice  that 
spoke  with  me.  And  being  turned,  I  saw 
seven  golden  candlesticks : 

13  And  in  the  midst  of  the  seven  golden 
candlesticks,  one  like  to  the  Son  of  man, 
clothed  with  a  garment  down  to  the  feet, 
and  girt  about  the  paps  with  a  golden 
girdle. 

14  And  his  head  and  his  hairs  were 
white,  as  white  wool,  and  as  snow,  and 
his  eyes  were  as  a  flame  of  fire, 

15  And  his  feet  like  unto  fine  brass,  as 
in  a  burning  furnace.  And  his  voice  as 
the  sound  of  many  waters. 

16  And  he  had  in  his  right  hand  seven 
stars.  And  from  his  mouth  came  out  a 
sharp  two  edged  sword :  and  his  face  was 
as  the  sun  shineth  in  his  power. 

17  And  when  I  had  seen  him,  I  fell  at 
his  feet  as  dead.     And  he  laid  his  right

twoedged    sword :    and    his    countenance 
was  as  the  sun  shineth  in  his  strength. 

17  And  when  I  saw  him,  I  fell  at  his 
feet  as  dead.  And  he  laid  his  right  hand 
upon  me,  saying  unto  me,  Fear  not;  I 
am  the  first  and  the  last: 

18  /  am  he  that  liveth,  and  was  dead; 
and,  behold,  I  am  alive  for  evermore, 
Amen;  and  have  the  keys  of  hell  and  of 
death. 

19  Write  the  things  which  thou  hast 
seen,  and  the  things  which  are,  and  the 
things  which  shall  be  hereafter; 

20  The  mystery  of  the  seven  stars  which 
thou  sawest  in  my  right  hand,  and  the

woman  Jezebel,  which  calleth  herself  a 
prophetess,  to  teach  and  to  seduce  my 
servants  to  commit  fornication,  and  to 
eat  things  sacrificed  unto  idols.

flame  of  fire,  and  his  feet  like  to  fine 
brass. 

19  I  know  thy  works,  and  thy  faith,  and 
thy  charity,  and  thy  ministry,  and  thy 
patience,  and  thy  last  work's  which  are 
more  than  the  former. 

20  But  I  have  against  thee  a  few  things : 
because  thou  sufferest  the  woman  Jeza- 
bel,  who  calleth  herself  a  prophetess,  to 
teach,  and  to  seduce  my  servants,  to 
commit  fornication,  and  to  eat  of  things 
sacrificed  to  idols. 

21  And  I  gave  her  a  time  that  she  might 
do  penance,  and  she  will  not  repent  of 
her  fornication. 

22  Behold,  I  will  cast  her  into  a  bed : 
and  they  that  commit  adultery  with  her 
shall  be  in  very  great  tribulation,  except 
they  do  penance  from  their  deeds.

thine  eyes  with  eyesalve,  that  thou  mayest

19  As  many  as  I  love,  I  rebuke  and 
chasten :  be  zealous  therefore,  and  repent. 

20  Behold,  I  stand  at  the  door,  and 
knock :  if  any  man  hear  my  voice,  and 
open  the  door,  I  will  come  in  to  him,  and 
will  sup  with  him,  and  he  with  me. 

21  To  him  that  overcometh  will  I  grant 
to  sit  with  me  in  my  throne,  even  as  I 
also  overcame,  and  am  set  down  with 
my  Father  in  his  throne. 

22  He  that  hath  an  ear,  let  him  hear 
what  the  Spirit  saith  unto  the  churches. 


CHAPTER  4. 

AFTER  this  I  looked,  and,  behold,  a 
door  was  opened  in  heaven :  and  the 
first  voice  which  I  heard  was  as  it  were 
of  a  trumpet  talking  with  me ;  which  said, 
Come  up  hither,  and  I  will  shew  thee 
things  which  must  be  hereafter. 

2  And  immediately  I  was  in  the  spirit: 
and,  behold,  a  throne  was  set  in  heaven, 
and  one  sat  on  the  throne. 

3  And  he  that  sat  was  to  look  upon 
like  a  jasper  and  a  sardine  stone:  and 
there  was  a  rainbow  round  about  the 
throne,  in  sight  like  unto  an  emerald. 

4  And  round  about  the  throne  were 
four  and  twenty  seats :  and  upon  the  seats 
I  saw  four  and  twenty  elders  sitting, 
clothed  in  white  raiment;  and  they  had 
on  their  heads  crowns  of  gold. 

5  And  out  of  the  throne  proceeded 
lightnings  and  thunderings  and  voices: 
and  there  were  seven  lamps  of  fire  burn- 
ing before  the  throne,  which  are  the 
seven  Spirits  of  God. 

6  And  before  the  throne  there  was  a 
sea  of  glass  like  unto  crystal :  and  in  the 
midst  of  the  throne,  and  round  about 
the  throne,  were  four  beasts  full  of  eyes 
before  and  behind. 

7  And  the  first  beast  was  like  a  lion, 
and  the  second  beast  like  a  calf,  and  the 
third  beast  had  a  face  as  a  man,  and  the 
fourth  beast  was  like  a  flying  eagle. 

8  And  the  four  beasts  had  each  of  them 
six  wings  about  him;  and  they  were  full 
of   eyes   within:   and   they   rest   not   day 


wretched  one  and  miserable  and 
poor  and  blind  and  naked:  18  I 
counsel  thee  to  buy  of  me  gold  re- 
fined by  fire,  that  thou  mayest  be- 
come rich;  and  white  garments, 
that  thou  mayest  clothe  thyself, 
and  that  the  shame  of  thy  naked- 
ness be  not  made  manifest;  and 
eyesalve  to  anoint  thine  eyes,  that 
thou  mayest  see.  19  As  many  as  I 
love,  I  reprove  and  chasten:  be 
zealous  therefore,  and  repent.  20 
Behold,  I  stand  at  the  door  and 
knock :  if  any  man  hear  my  voice 
and  open  the  door,  I  will  come  in  to 
him,  and  will  sup  with  him,  and  he 
with  rne.  21  He  that  overcometh,  I 
will  give  to  him  to  sit  down  with 
Hie  in  my  throne,  as  I  also  over- 
came, and  sat  down  with  my  Father 
.in  his  throne.  22  He  that  hath  an 
ear,  let  him  hear  what  the  Spirit 
saith  to  the  churches. 

A  FTER  these  things  I  saw,  and 
A-^^  behold,  a  door  opened  in 
heaven,  and  the  first  voice  which 
I  heard,  a  voice  as  of  a  trumpet 
speaking  with  me,  one  saying. 
Come  up  hither,  and  I  will  shew 
thee  the  things  which  must  come 
to  pass  hereafter.  2  Straightway 
I  was  in  the  Spirit :  and  behold, 
there  was  a  throne  set  in  heaven, 
and  one  sitting  upon  the  throne ; 
3  and  he  that  sat  was  to  look  upon 
like  a  jasper  stone  and  a  sardius: 
and  there  was  a  rainbow  round 
about  the  throne.,  like  an  emerald 
to  look  upon.  4  And  round  about 
the  throne  were  four  and  twenty 
thrones:  and  upon  the  thrones  / 
saw  four  and  twenty  elders  sitting, 
arrayed  in  white  garments;  and  on 
their  heads  crowns  of  gold.  5  And 
out  of  the  throne  proceed  light- 
nings and  voices  and  thunders.  And 
there  were  seven  lamps  of  fire  burn- 
ing before  the  throne,  which  are 
the  seven  Spirits  of  God ;  6  and  be- 
fore the  throne,  as  it  were  a  glassy 
sea  like  unto  crystal;  and  in  the 
midst  of  the  throne,  and  round 
about  the  throne,  four  living  crea- 
tures full  of  eyes  before  and  be- 
hind. 7  And  the  first  creature  was 
like  a  lion,  and  the  second  creature 
like  a  calf,  and  the  third  creature 
had  a   face  as  of  a  man,  and  the

21  He  that  overcometh,  I  will  give

sat  down  with  my  Father  in  his 
throne.  22  He  that  hath  an  ear,  let 
him  hear  what  the  Spirit  saith  to

A  -^^-^^  these  things  I  saw,

heard,  a  voice  as  of  a  trumpet

Come  up  hither,  and  I  will  show

saw  four  and  twenty  elders  sit- 
ting, arrayed  in  white  garments ; 
and  on  their  heads  crowns  of  gold. 

5  And  out  of  the  throne  proceed 
lightnings  and  voices  and  thun- 
ders. And  there  were  seven  lamps 
of  fire  burning  before  the  throne, 
which  are  the  seven  Spirits  of  God ; 

6  and  before  the  throne,  as  it  were 
a  sea  of  glass  like  unto  crystal ; 
and  in  the  midst  of  the  throne, 
and  round  about  the  throne,  four 
living  creatures  full  of  eyes  before 
and  behind.  7  And  the  first  crea-

third  creature  had  a  face  as  of  a

19  Such  as  I  love,  I  rebuke  and  chas-

ance. 

20  Behold,  I  stand  at  the  gate,  and 
knock.  If  any  man  shall  hear  my  voice, 
and  open  to  me  the  door,  I  will  come  in 
to  him,  and  will  sup  with  him,  and  he 
with  me. 

21  To  him  that  shall  overcome,  I  will 
give  to  sit  with  me  in  my  throne:  as  I 
also  have  overcome,  and  am  set  down 
with  my  Father  in  his  throne.

CHAPTER  4. 

AFTER  these  things  I  looked,  and  be- 
hold a  door  was  opened  in  heaven, 
and  the  first  voice  which  I  heard,  as  it 
were,  of  a  trumpet  speaking  with  me, 
said :  Come  up  hither,  and  I  will  shew 
thee  the  things  which  must  be  done 
hereafter. 

2  And  immediately  I  was  in  the  spirit: 
and  behold  there  was  a  throne  set  in 
heaven,  and  upon  the  throne  one  sitting. 

3  And  he  that  sat,  was  to  the  sight  like 
the  jasper  and  the  sardine  stone;  and 
there  was  a  rainbow  round  about  the 
throne,  in  sight  like  unto  an  emerald. 

4  And  round  about  the  throne  were 
four  and  twenty  seats ;  and  upon  the 
seats,  four  and  twenty  ancients  sitting, 
clothed  in  white  garments,  and  on  their 
heads  were  crowns  of  gold. 

5  And  from  the  throne  proceeded  light- 
nings, and  voices,  and  thunders;  and 
there  were  seven  lamps  burning  before 
the  throne,  which  are  the  seven  spirits

6  And  in  the  sight  of  the  throne  was,  as

wings,  are  full  of  eyes  round  about 
and  within:  and  they  have  no  rest, 
day  and  night,  saying.  Holy,  holy,

CHAPTER  5. 

AND  I  saw  in  the  right  hand  of  him 
that  sat  on  the  throne  a  book  written 
within  and  on  the  backside,  sealed  with 
seven  seals. 

2  And  I  saw  a  strong  angel  pro- 
claiming with  a  loud  voice,  Who  is 
worthy  to  open  the  book,  and  to  loose  the 
seals  thereof? 

3  And  no  man  in  heaven,  nor  in  earth, 
neither  under  the  earth,  was  able  to  open 
the  book,  neither  to  look  thereon. 

4  And  I  wept  much,  because  no  man 
was  found  worthy  to  open  and  to  read 
the  book,  neither  to  look  thereon. 

5  And  one  of  the  elders  saith  unto  me. 
Weep  not:  behold,  the  Lion  of  the  tribe 
of  Juda,  the  Root  of  David,  hath  pre- 
vailed to  open  the  book,  and  to  loose  the 
seven  seals  thereof. 

6  And  I  beheld,  and,  lo,  in  the  midst 
of  the  throne  and  of  the  four  beasts,  and 
in  the  midst  of  the  elders,  stood  a  Lamb 
as  it  had  been  slain,  having  seven  horns 
and  seven  eyes,  which  are  the  seven 
Spirits  of  God  sent  forth  into  all  the 
earth. 

7  And  he  came  and  took  the  book  out 
of  the  right  hand  of  him  that  sat  upon 
the  throne.

elders  saith  unto  me,  Weep  not:

though  it  had  been  slain,  having

3  And  no  man  was  able,  neither  in  hea-

ing every  one  of  them  harps,  and  golden 
vials  full  of  odours,  which  are  the  prayers 
of  saints, 

9  And  they  sung  a  new  song,  saying, 
Thou  art  worthy  to  take  the  book,  and 
to  open  the  seals  thereof :  for  thou  wast 
slain,  and  hast  redeemed  us  to  God  by 
thy  blood  out  of  every  kindred,  and 
tongue,  and  people,  and  nation; 

10  And  hast  made  us  unto  our  God

ten  thousand,  and  thousands  of  thou-

strength,  and  honour,  and  glory,  and 
blessing.

fore the  Lamb,  having  each  one  a 
harp,  and  golden  bowls  full  of  in-

the  saints.  9  And  they  sing  a  new 
song,  saying.  Worthy  art  thou  to 
take  the  book,  and  to  open  the  seals 
thereof:  for  thou  wast  slain,  and 
didst  purchase  unto  God  with  thy 
blood  men  of  every  tribe,  and 
tongue,  and  people,  and  nation, 
ID  and  madest  them  to  be  unto  our 
God  a  kingdom  and  priests;  and 
they  reign  upon  the  earth.  11  And 
I  saw,  and  I  heard  a  voice  of  many 
angels  round  about  the  throne  and 
the  living  creatures  and  the  elders; 
and  the  number  of  them  was  ten 
thousand  times  ten  thousand,  and 
thousands  of  thousands ;  12  saying 
with  a  great  voice.  Worthy  is  the 
Lamb  that  hath  been  slain  to  re- 
ceive the  power,  and  riches,  and 
wisdom,  and  might,  and  honour, 
and  glory,  and  blessing.  13  And

there  was  a  crown  given  him,  and  he 
went  forth  conquering  that  he  might

saying:  Come,  and  see.

that  was  red:  and  to  him  that  sat  there-

another:  and  there  was  given  unto  him 
a  great  sword. 

5  And  when  he  had  opened  the  third 
seal,  I  heard  the  third  beast  say,  Come 
and  see.  And  I  beheld,  and  lo  a  black 
horse;  and  he  that  sat  on  him  had  a  pair 
of  balances  in  his  hand. 

6  And  I  heard  a  voice  in  the  midst  of 
the  four  beasts  say,  A  measure  of  wheat 
for  a  penny;  and  three  measures  of  barley 
for  a  penny ;  and  see  thou  hurt  not  the  oil 
and  the  wine. 

7  And  when  he  had  opened  the  fourth 
seal,  I  heard  the  voice  of  the  fourth  beast 
say,  Come  and  see. 

8  And  I  looked,  and  behold  a  pale 
horse:  and  his  name  that  sat  on  him  was 
Death,  and  Hell  followed  with  him.  And 
power  was  given  unto  them  over  the 
fourth  part  of  the  earth,  to  kill  with 
sword,  and  with  hunger,  and  with  death, 
and  with  the  beasts  of  the  earth. 

9  And  when  he  had  opened  the  fifth 
seal,  I  saw  under  the  altar  the  souls  of 
them  that  were  slain  for  the  word  of 
God,  and  for  the  testimony  which  they 
held: 

10  And  they  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
saying,  How  long,  O  Lord,  holy  and  true, 
dost  thou  not  judge  and  avenge  our  blood 
on  them  that  dwell  on  the  earth? 

11  And  white  robes  were  given  unto 
every  one  of  them;  and  it  was  said  unto 
them,  that  they  should  rest  yet  for  a  lit- 
tle season,  until  their  fellowservants  also 
and  their  brethren,  that  should  be  killed 
as  they  were,  should  be  fulfilled. 

12  And  I  beheld  when  he  had  opened 
the  sixth  seal,  and,  lo,  there  was  a  great 
earthquake;  and  the  sun  became  black  as 
sackcloth  of  hair,  and  the  moon  became 
as  blood; 

13  And  the  stars  of  heaven  fell  unto 
the  earth,  even  as  a  fig  tree  casteth  her 
untimely  figs,  when  she  is  shaken  of  a 
mighty  wind. 

14  And  the  heaven  departed  as  a  scroll 
when  it  is  rolled  together;  and  every 
mountain  and  island  were  moved  out  of 
their  places. 

15  And  the  kings  of  the  earth,  and  the 
great  men,  and  the  rich  men,  and  the 
chief  captains,  and  the  mighty  men,  and 
every  bondman,  and  every  free  man,  hid 
themselves  in  the  dens  and  in  the  rocks 
of  the  mountains; 

16  And  said  to  the  mountains  and 
rocks,  Fall  on  us,  and  hide  us  from  the 


it  was  given  to  take  peace  from 
the  earth,  and  that  they  should  slay 
one  another :  and  there  was  given 
unto  him  a  great  sword. 

5  And  when  he  opened  the  third 
seal,  I  heard  the  third  living  crea- 
ture saying,  Come.  And  I  saw, 
and  behold,  a  black  horse;  and  he 
that  sat  thereon  had  a  balance  in 
his  hand.  6  And  I  heard  as  it  were 
a  voice  in  the  midst  of  the  four  liv- 
ing creatures  saying,  A  measure 
of  wheat  for  a  penny,  and  three 
measures  of  barley  for  a  penny; 
and  the  oil  and  the  wine  hurt  thou 
not. 

7  And  when  he  opened  the  fourth 
seal,  I  heard  the  voice  of  the  fourth 
living  creature  saying.  Come.  8

horse:  and  he  that  sat  upon  him, 
his  name  was  Death;  and  Hades 
followed  with  him.  And  there  was 
given  unto  them  authority  over  the 
fourth  part  of  the  earth,  to  kil} 
with  sword,  and  with  famine,  and 
with  death,  and  by  the  wild  beasts 
of  the  earth.

seal,  I  saw  underneath  the  altar 
the  souls  of  them  that  had  been 
slain  for  the  word  of  God,  and  for 
the  testimony  which  they  held:  10 
and  they  cried  with  a  great  voice, 
saying,  How  long,  O  Master,  the 
holy  and  true,  dost  thou  not  judge 
and  avenge  our  blood  on  them  that 
dwell  on  the  earth?  11  And  there 
was  given  them  to  each  one  a  white 
robe;  and  it  was  said  unto  them, 
that  they  should  rest  yet  for  a  lit-

also  and  their  brethren,  which

whole  moon  became  as  blood ;  13

unto  the  earth,  as  a  fig  tree  cast- 
eth her  unripe  figs,  when  she  is

angels  standing  on  the  four  corners 
of  the  earth,  holding  the  four  winds  of 
the  earth,  that  the  wind  should  not  blow 
on  the  earth,  nor  on  the  sea,  nor  on  any 
tree.

from  the  east,  having  the  seal  of  the  liv- 
ing God:  and  he  cried  with  a  loud  voice 
to  the  four  angels,  to  whom  it  was  given 
to  hurt  the  earth  and  the  sea, 

3  Saying,  Hurt  not  the  earth,  neither 
the  sea,  nor  the  trees,  till  we  have  sealed 
the  servants  of  our  God  in  their  fore- 
heads. 

4  And  I  heard  the  number  of  them 
which  were  sealed :  and  there  were  sealed 
an  hundred  and  forty  and  four  thousand 
of  all  the  tribes  of  the  children  of  Israel. 

5  Of  the  tribe  of  Juda  were  sealed 
twelve  thousand.  Of  the  tribe  of  Reuben 
were  sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of  the 
tribe  of  Gad  were  sealed  twelve  thou- 
sand. 

6  Of  the  tribe  of  Aser  were  sealed 
twelve  thousand.  Of  the  tribe  of  Nep- 
thalim  were  sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of 
the  tribe  of  Manasses  were  sealed  twelve

have  sealed  the  servants  of  our 
God  on  their  foreheads.  4  And  I 
heard  the  number  of  them  which 
were  sealed,  a  hundred  and  forty 
and  four  thousand,  sealed  out  of 
every  tribe  of  the  children  of  Israel. 

5  Of    the    tribe    of    Judah    were

CHAPTER  7. 

AFTER  these  things,  I  saw  four  angels 
standing  on  the  four  corners  of  the 
earth,  holding  the  four  winds  of  the 
earth,  that  they  should  not  blow  upon 
the  earth,  nor  upon  the  sea,  nor  on  any 
tree. 

2  And  I  saw  another  angel  ascending 
from  the  rising  of  the  sun,  having  the 
sign  of  the  living  God;  and  he  cried  with 
a  loud  voice  to  the  four  angels,  to  whom 
it  was  given  to  hurt  the  earth  and  the 
sea, 

3  Saying:  Hurt  not  the  earth,  nor  the 
sea,  nor  the  trees,  till  we  sign  the  serv- 
ants of  our  God  in  their  foreheads. 

4  And  I  heard  the  number  of  them  that 
were  signed,  an  hundred  forty-four  thou- 
sand were  signed,  of  every  tribe  of  the 
children  of  Israel. 

5  Of  the  tribe  of  Juda,  were  twelve 
thousand  signed:  Of  the  tribe  of  Ruben, 
twelve  thousand  signed:  Of  the  tribe  of 
Gad,  twelve  thousand  signed : 

6  Of  the  tribe  of  Aser,  twelve  thou-

nations,  and  tribes,  and  peoples,  and 
tongues,  standing  before  the  throne,  and 
in  sight  of  the  Lamb,  clothed  with  white 
robes,  and  palms  in  their  hands : 

10  And  they  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
saying:  Salvation  to  our  God,  who  sit- 
teth upon  the  throne,  and  to  the  Lamb. 

11  And  all  the  angels  stood  round  about

10  And  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  saying,

11  And  all  the  angels  stood  round  about 
the  throne,  and  about  the  elders  and  the 
four  beasts,  and  fell  before  the  throne  on 
their   faces,  and  worshipped   God,

saying  unto  me,  What  are  these  which  are 
arrayed  in  white  robes?  and  whence  came 
they? 

14  And  I  said  unto  him.  Sir,  thou 
knowest.  And  he  said  to  me,  These  are 
they  which  came  out  of  great  tribulation, 
and  have  washed  their  robes,  and  made 
them  white  in  the  blood  of  the  Lamb. 

15  Therefore  are  they  before  the  throne

his  temple:  and  he  that  sitteth  on  the

16  They  shall  hunger  no  more,  neither 
thirst  any  more;  neither  shall  the  sun

with  a  great  voice,  saying.  Salva-

II  And  all  the  angels  were  standing 
round  about  the  throne,  and  about 
the  elders  and  the  four  living

throne  on  their  faces,  and  wor-

Blessing,  and  glory,  and  wisdom,

power,  and  might,  be  unto  our  God 
for  ever  and  ever.  Amen,  13  And 
one  of  the  elders  answered,  saying 
unto  me.  These  which  are  arrayed 
in  the  white  robes,  who  are  they, 
and  whence  came  they?  14  And  I 
say  unto  him.  My  lord,  thou  know- 
est. And  he  said  to  me.  These  are 
they  which  come  out  of  the  great 
tribulation,  and  they  washed  their 
robes,  and  made  them  white  in  the 
blood  of  the  Lamb.  15  Therefore 
are  they  before  the  throne  of  God ; 
and  they  serve  him  day  and  night 
in  his  temple:  and  he  that  sitteth 
on  the  throne  shall  spread  his 
tabernacle  over  them.  16  They 
shall  hunger  no  more,  neither  thirst 
any  more;  neither  shall  the  sun 
strike  upon  them,  nor  any  heat:  17 
for  the  Lamb  which  is  in  the  midst 
of  the  throne  shall  be  their  shep-

God  shall  wipe  away  every  tear

5  And  the  angel  took  the  censer,  and 
filled  it  with  fire  of  the  altar,  and  cast  it

the  third  part  of  trees  was  burnt  up,

fire  was  cast  into  the  sea:  and  the  third 
part  of  the  sea  became  blood;

which  were  in  the  sea,  and  had  life,  died ;

the  third  part  of  the  creatures 
which  were  in  the  sea,  even  they 
that  had  life;  and  the  third  part  of 
the  ships  was  destroyed.

and  as  it  were  a  great  mountain 
burning  with  fire  was  cast  into  the 
sea:  and  the  third  part  of  the  sea 
became  blood;  9  and  there  died 
the  third  part  of  the  creatures 
which  were  in  the  sea,  even  they 
that  had  life;  and  the  third  part  of 
the  ships  was  destroyed. 

10  And  the  third  angel  sounded, 
and  there  fell  from  heaven  a  great 
star,  burning  as  a  torch,  and  it  fell 
upon  the  third  part  of  the  rivers, 
and  upon  the  fountains  of  the 
waters;  11  and  the  name  of  the 
star  is  called  Wormwood:  and 
the  third  part  of  the  waters  be- 
came wormwood ;  and  many  men 
died  of  the  waters,  because  they 
were  made  bitter, 

12  And  the  fourth  angel  sounded, 
and  the  third  part  of  the  sun  was 
smitten,  and  the  third  part  of  the 
moon,  and  the  third  part  of  the 
stars;  that  the  third  part  of  them 
should  be  darkened,  and  the  day 
should  not  shine  for  the  third  part 
of  it,  and  the  night  in  like  manner. 

13  And  I  saw,  and  I  heard  an 
eagle,  flying  in  mid  heaven,  say- 
ing with  a  great  voice.  Woe,  woe, 
woe,  for  them  that  dwell  on  the 
earth,  by  reason  of  the  other  voices 
of  the  trumpet  of  the  three  angels, 
who  are  yet  to  sound. 


4  And  the  smoke  of  the  incense  of  the 
prayers  of  the  saints  ascended  up  before 
God  from  the  hand  of  the  angel. 

5  And  the  angel  took  the  censer,  and 
filled  it  with  the  fire  of  the  altar,  and 
cast  it  on  the  earth,  and  there  were  thun- 
ders and  voices  and  lightnings,  and  a 
great  earthquake. 

6  And  the  seven  angels,  who  had  the 
seven  trumpets,  prepared  themselves  to 
sound  the  trumpet. 

7  And  the  first  angel  sounded  the 
trumpet,  and  there  followed  hail  and 
fire,  mingled  with  blood,  and  it  was  cast 
on  the  earth,  and  the  third  part  of  the 
earth  was  burnt  up,  and  the  third  part 
of  the  trees  was  burnt  up,  and  all  green 
grass  was  burnt  up. 

8  And  the  second  angel  sounded  the 
trumpet:  and  as  it  were  a  great  moun- 
tain, burning  with  fire,  was  cast  into  the 
sea,  and  the  third  part  of  the  sea  became 
blood : 

9  And  the  third  part  of  those  creatures 
died,  which  had  life  in  the  sea,  and  the 
third  part  of  the  ships  was  destroyed. 

10  And  the  third  angel  sounded  the 
trumpet,  and  a  great  star  fell  from  hea- 
ven, burning  as  it  were  a  torch,  and  it 
fell  on  the  third  part  of  the  rivers,  and 
upon  the  fountains  of  waters : 

11  And  the  name  of  the  star  is  called 
Wormwood.  And  the  third  part  of  the 
waters  became  wormwood ;  and  many 
men  died  of  the  waters,  because  they 
were  made  bitter. 

12  And  the  fourth  angel  sounded  the 
trumpet,  and  the  third  part  of  the  sun 
was  smitten,  and  the  third  part  of  the 
moon,  and  the  third  part  of  the  stars,  so 
that  the  third  part  of  them  was  dark- 
ened, and  the  day  did  not 'shine  for  a 
third  part  of  it,  and  the  night  in  like 
manner. 

13  And  I  beheld,  and  heard  the  voice  of 
one  eagle  flying  through  the  midst  of 
heaven,  saying  with  a  loud  voice:  Woe, 
woe,  woe  to  the  inhabitants  of  the  earth : 
by  reason  of  the  rest  of  the  voices  of  the 
three  angels,  who  are  yet  to  sound  the 
trumpet.

AND  the  fifth  angel  sounded,  and  I 
saw  a  star  fall  from  heaven  unto  the 
earth:  and  to  him  was  given  the  key  of 
the  bottomless  pit. 

2  And  he  opened  the  bottomless  pit; 
and  there  arose  a  smoke  out  of  the  pit, 
as  the  smoke  of  a  great  furnace ;  and  the 
sun  and  the  air  were  darkened  by  reason 
of  the  smoke  of  the  pit. 

3  And  there  came  out  of  the  smoke 
locusts  upon  the  earth:  and  unto  them 
was  given  power,  as  the  scorpions  of  the 
earth  have  power. 

4  And  it  was  commanded  them  that 
they  should  not  hurt  the  grass  of  the 
earth,  neither  any  green  thing,  neither  any 
tree ;  but  only  those  men  which  have  not 
the  seal  of  God  in  their  foreheads. 

5  And  to  them  it  was  given  that  they 
should  not  kill  them,  but  that  they  should 
be  tormented  five  months;  and  their  tor- 
ment was  as  the  torment  of  a  scorpion,

6  And  in  those  days  shall  men  seek 
death,  and  shall  not  find  it ;  and  shall  de- 
sire to  die,  and  death  shall  flee  from 
them. 

7  And  the  shapes  of  the  locusts  were 
like  unto  horses  prepared  unto  battle ; 
and  on  their  heads  were  as  it  were  crowns 
like  gold,  and  their  faces  were  as  the 
faces  of  men. 

8  And  they  had  hair  as  the  hair  of 
women,  and  their  teeth  were  as  the 
teeth  oi  lions. 

9  And  they  had  breastplates,  as  it  were 
breastplates  of  iron ;  and  the  sound  of 
their  wings  was  as  the  sound  of  chariots 
of  many  horses  running  to  battle. 

ID  And  fhey  had  tails  like  unto 
scorpions,  and  there  were  stings  in  their 
tails:  and  their  power  was  to  hurt  men 
five  months. 

11  And  they  had  a  king  over  them, 
which  is  the  angel  of  the  bottomless  pit,

Abaddon,  but  in  the  Greek  tongue -hath

12  One  woe  is  past ;  and,  behold,  there 
come  two  woes  more  hereafter. 

13  And  the  sixth  angel  sounded,  and  I 
heard  a  voice  from  the  four  horns  of  the 
golden  altar  which  is  before  God, 

14  Saying  to  the  sixth  angel  which  had 
the  trumpet,  Loose  the  four  angels  which 
are  bound  in  the  great  river  Euphrates. 

15  And  the   four  angels  were  loosed,

and  I  saw  a  star  from 
heaven  fallen  unto  the  earth :  and 
there  was  given  to  him  the  key  of 
the  pit  of  the  abyss.  2  And  he 
opened  the  pit  of  the  abyss;  and 
there  went  up  a  smoke  out  of  the 
pit,  as  the  smoke  of  a  great  fur- 
nace ;  and  the  sun  and  the  air  were 
darkened  by  reason  of  the  smoke 
of  the  pit.  3  And  out  of  the  smoke 
came  forth  locusts  upon  the  earth; 
and  power  was  given  them,  as  the 
scorpions  of  the  earth  have  power. 
4  And  it  was  said  unto  them  that

death,  and  shall  in  no  wise  find  it ; 
and  they  shall  desire  to  die,  and 
death  fleeth  from  them.  7  And  the

horsemen  were  two  hundred  thousand 
thousand:  and  I  heard  the  number  , of

18  By  these  three  was  the  third  part 
of  men  killed,  by  the  fire,  and  by  the 
smoke,  and  by  the  brimstone,  which  is- 
sued out  of  their  mouths. 

19  For  their  power  is  in  their  mouth, 
and  in  their  tails:  for  their  tails  were 
like  unto  serpents,  and  had  heads,  and 
with  them  they  do  hurt.

are  as  the  heads  of  lions ;  and  out 
of  their  mouths  proceedeth  fire  and 
smoke  and  brimstone.  18  By  these 
three  plagues  was  the  third  part  of 
men  killed,  by  the  fire  and  the 
smoke  and  the  brimstone,  which 
proceeded  out  of  their  mouths.  19 
For  the  power  of  the  horses  is  in 
their  mouth,  and  in  their  tails:  for 
their  tails  are  like  unto  serpents, 
and  have  heads ;  and  with  them

mankind,  which  were  not  killed

his  feet  as  pillars  of  fire;  2  and  he 
had  in  his  hand  a  little  book  open : 
and  he  set  his  right  foot  upon  the 
sea,  and  his  left  upon  the  earth ; 
3  and  he  cried  with  a  great  voice, 
as  a  lion  roareth :  and  when  he 
cried,  the  seven  thunders  uttered 
their  voices.  4  And  when  the  seven 
thunders  uttered  their  voices,  I 
was  about  to  write :  and  I  heard 
a  voice  from  heaven  saying,  Seal 
up  the  things  which  the  seven 
thunders  uttered,  and  write  them 
not.  5  And  the  angel  that  I  saw 
standing  upon  the  sea  and  upon 
the  earth  lifted  up  his  right  hand 
to    heaven,    6    and    sware    by    him 


who  were  prepared  for  an  hour,  and  a 
day,  and  a  month,  and  a  year:  for  to 
kill  the  third  part  of  men. 

16  And  the  number  of  the  army  of 
horsemen  was  twenty  thousand  times  ten 
thousand.  And  I  heard  the  number  of 
them. 

17  And  thus  I  saw  the  horses  in  the 
vision:  and  they  that  sat  on  them,  had 
breastplates  of  fire  and  of  hyacinth  and 
of  brimstone,  and  the  heads  of  the  horses 
were  as  the  heads  of  lions :  and  from 
their  mouths  proceeded  fire,  and  smoke, 
and  brimstone. 

18  And  by  these  three  plagues  was  slain 
the  third  part  of  men,  by  the  fire  and  by 
the  smoke  and  by  the  brimstone,  which 
issued  out  of  their  mouths. 

19  For  the  power  of  the  horses  is  in 
their  mouths,  and  in  their  tails.  For, 
their  tails  are  like  to  serpents,  and  have 
heads :  and  with  them  they  hurt. 

20  And  the  rest  of  the  men,  who  were 
not  slain  by  these  plagues,  did  not  do 
penance  from  the  works  of  their  hands, 
that  they  should  not  adore  devils,  and 
idols  of  gold,  and  silver,  and  brass,  and 
stone,  and  wood,  which  neither  can  see, 
nor  hear,  nor  walk: 

21  Neither  did  they  penance  from  their 
murders,  nor  from  their  .sorceries,  nor 
from  their  fornication,  nor  from  their 
thefts. 


CHAPTER  10. 

AND  I  saw  another  mighty  angel  come 
down  from  heaven,  clothed  with  a 
cloud,  and  a  rainbow  was  on  his  head, 
and  his  face  was  as  the  sun,  and  his  feet 
as  pillars  of  fire. 

2  And  he  had  in  his  hand  a  little  book 
open :  and  he  set  his  right  foot  upon  the 
sea,  and  his  left  foot  upon  the  earth. 

3  And  he  cried  with  a  loud  voice  as 
when  a  lion  roareth.  And  when  he  had 
cried,  seven  thunders  uttered  their  voices, 

4  And  when  the  seven  thunders  had  ut- 
tered their  voices,  I  was  about  to  write : 
and  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven  saying 
to  me:  Seal  up  the  things  which  the 
seven  thunders  have  spoken;  and  write 
them  not. 

5  And  the  angel,  whom  I  saw  standing 
upon  the  sea  and  upon  the  earth,  lifted 
up  his  hand  to  heaven, 

6  And  he  swore  by  him  that  liveth  for 
ever  and  ever,  who  created  heaven,  and

the  things  that  therein  are,  and  the  earth, 
and  the  things  that  therein  are,  and  the 
sea,  and  the  things  which  are  therein,  that 
there  should  be  time  no  longer: 

7  But  in  the  days  of  the  voice  of  the 
seventh  angel,  when  he  shall  begin  to 
sound,  the  mystery  of  God  should  be  fin- 
ished, as  he  hath  declared  to  his  servants 
the  prophets. 

8  And  the  voice  which  I  heard  from 
heaven  spake  unto  me  again,  and  said.  Go 
and  take  the  little  book  which  is  open  in 
the  hand  of  the  angel  which  standeth 
upon  the  sea  and  upon  the  earth. 

9  And  I  went  unto  the  angel,  and  said 
unto  him,  Give  me  the  little  book.  And 
he  said  unto  me,  Take  it,  and  eat  it  up; 
and  it  shall  make  thy  belly  bitter,  but  it 
shall  be  in  thy  mouth  sweet  as  honey. 

ID  And  I  took  the  little  book  out  of  the 
angel's  hand,  and  ate  it  up;  and  it  was 
in  my  mouth  sweet  as  honey :  and  as  soon 
as  I  had  eaten  it,  my  belly  was  bitter. 

II  And  he  said  unto  me,  Thou  must 
prophesy  again  before  many  peoples,  and 
nations,  and  tongues,  and  kings. 


CHAPTER  II. 

AND  there  was  given  me  a  reed  like 
unto  a  rod :  and  the  angel  stood, 
saying,  Rise,  and  measure  the  temple  of 
God,  and  the  altar,  and  them  that  wor- 
ship therein. 

2  But  the  court  which  is  without  the 
temple  leave  out,  and  measure  it  not ;  for 
it  is  given  unto  the  Gentiles :  and  the  holy 
city  shall  they  tread  under  foot  forty  and 
two  months. 

3  And  I  will  give  power  unto  my  two 
witnesses,  and  they  shall  prophesy  a  thou- 
sand two  hundred  and  threescore  days, 
clothed  in  sackcloth. 

4  These  are  the  two  olive  trees,  and 
the  two  candlesticks  standing  before  the 
God  of  the  earth. 

5  And  if  any  man  will  hurt  them,  fire 
proceedeth  out  of  their  mouth,  and  de- 
voureth  their  enemies:  and  if  any  man 
will  hurt  them,  he  must  in  this  manner 
be  killed. 

6  These  have  power  to  shut  heaven, 
that  it  rain  not  in  the  days  of  their 
prophecy :  and  have  power  over  waters  to 


ever  and  ever,  who  created  the 
heaven  and  the  things  that  are 
therein,  and  the  earth  and  the 
things  that  are  therein,  and  the 
sea  and  the  things  that  are  therein, 
that  there  shall  be  time  no  longer : 
7  but  in  the  days  of  the  voice  of  the 
seventh  angel,  when  he  is  about  to 
sound,  then  is  finished  the  mystery 
of  God,  according  to  the  good 
tidings  which  he  declared  to  his 
servants  the  prophets.  8  And  the 
voice  which  I  heard  from  heaven, 
/  heard  it  again  speaking  with  me, 
and  saying,  Go,  take  the  book 
which  is  open  in  the  hand  of  the 
angel  that  standeth  upon  the  sea 
and  upon  the  earth,  g  And  I 
went  unto  the  ^gel,  saying  unto 
him  that  he  should  give  me  the 
little  book.  And  he  saith  unto  me, 
Take  it,  and  eat  it  up ;  and  it  shall 
make  thy  belly  bitter,  but  in  thy 
mouth  it  shall  be  sweet  as  honey. 
ID  And  I  took  the  little  book  out  of 
the  angel's  hand,  and  ate  it  up ;  and 
it  was  in  my  mouth  sweet  as  honey : 
and  when  I  had  eaten  it,  my  belly 
was  made  bitter,  ii  And  they  say 
unto  me.  Thou  must  prophesy 
again  over  many  peoples  and  na- 
tions and  tongues  and  kings.

I  took  the  little  book  out  of  the

was  in  my  mouth  sweet  as  honey: 
and  when  I  had  eaten  it,  my  belly 
was  made  bitter.  11  And  they  say 
unto  me,  Thou  must  prophesy  again

seventh  angel,  when  he  shall  begin  to 
sound  the  trumpet,  the  mystery  of  God 
shall  be  finished,  as  he  hath  declared  by

hand  of  the  angel  who  standeth  upon  the

11  And  he  said  to  me:  Thou  must

CHAPTER  II. 

AND  there  was  given  me  a  reed  like 
unto  a  rod :  and  it  was  said  to  me : 
Arise,  and  measure  the  temple  of  God, 
and  the  altar  and  them  that  adore  therein. 

2  But  the  court,  which  is  without  the 
temple,  cast  out,  and  measure  it  not:  be-

turn  them  to  blood,  and  to  smite  the  earth 
with  all  plagues,  as  often  as  they  will. 

7  And  when  they  shall  have  finished 
their  testimony,  the  beast  that  ascendeth 
out  of  the  bottomless  pit  shall  make  war 
against  them,  and  shall  overcome  them, 
and  kill  them. 

8  And  their  dead  bodies  shall  lie  in  the 
street  of  the  great  city,  which  spiritually 
is  called  Sodom  and  Egypt,  where  also 
our  Lord  was  crucified. 

9  And  they  of  the  people  and  kin- 
dreds and  tongues  and  nations  shall  see 
their  dead  bodies  three  days  and  an  half, 
and  shall  not  suffer  their  dead  bodies  to 
be  put  in  graves. 

10  And  they  that  dwell  upon  the  earth 
shall  rejoice  over  them,  and  make  merry, 
and  shall  send  gifts  one  to  another;  be- 
cause these  two  prophets  tormented  them 
that  dwelt  on  the  earth. 

11  And  after  three  days  and  an  half 
the  spirit  of  life  from  God  entered  into 
them,  and  they  stood  upon  their  feet ;  and 
great  fear  fell  upon  them  which  saw 
them. 

12  And  they  heard  a  great  voice  from 
heaven  saying  unto  them.  Come  up  hither. 
And  they  ascended  up  to  heaven  in  a 
cloud;  and  their  enemies  beheld  them. 

13  And  the  same  hour  was  there  a 
great  earthquake,  and  the  tenth  part  of 
the  city  fell,  and  in  the  earthquake  were 
slain  of  men  seven  thousand :  and  the 
remnant  were  affrighted,  and  gave  glory 
to  the  God  of  heaven. 

14  The  second  woe  is  past ;  and,  behold, 
the  third  woe  cometh  quickly. 

15  And  the  seventh  angel  sounded ;  and 
there  were  great  voices  in  heaven,  saying, 
The  kingdoms  of  this  world  are  become 
the  kingdoms  of  our  Lord,  and  of  his 
Christ;  and  he  shall  reign  for  ever  and 
ever. 

16  And  the  four  and  twenty  elders, 
which  sat  before  God  on  their  seats,  fell 
upon  their  faces,  and  worshipped  God, 

17  Saying,  We  give  thee  thanks,  O 
Lord  God  Almighty,  which  art,  and  wast, 
and  art  to  come ;  because  thou  hast  taken 
to  thee  thy  great  power,  and  hast  reigned. 

18  And  the  nations  were  angry,  and 
thy  wrath  is  come,  and  the  time  of  the 
dead,  that  they  should  be  judged,  and  that 
thou  shouldest  give  reward  unto  thy 
servants  the  prophets,  and  to  the  saints, 
and  them  that  fear  thy  name,  small  and 
great;  and  shouldest  destroy  them  which 
destroy  the  earth.

half  the  breath  of  life  from  God 
entered  into  them,  and  they  stood 
upon  their  feet;  and  great  fear  fell 
upon    them     which     beheld     them. 

12  And  they  heard  a  great  voice 
from  heaven  saying  unto  them. 
Come  up  hither.  And  they  went 
up  into  heaven  in  the  cloud ;  and 
their  enemies  beheld  them.  13  And 
in  that  hour  there  was  a  great 
earthquake,  and  the  tenth  part  of 
the  city  fell ;  and  there  were  killed 
in  the  earthquake  seven  thousand 
persons :  and  the  rest  were  af- 
frighted, and  gave  glory  to  the  God 
of  heaven. 

14  The  second  Woe  is  past :  be-

15  And  the  seventh  angel  sound- 
ed ;  and  there  followed  great  voices 
in  heaven,  and  they  said,  The  king- 
dom of  the  world  is  become  the 
kingdom  of  our  Lord,  and  of  his 
Christ:  and  he  shall  reign  for  ever 
and  ever.  16  And  the  four  and 
twenty  elders,  which  sit  before 
God  on  their  thrones,  fell  upon 
their  faces,  and  worshipped  God,

art  and  which  wast ;  because  thou 
hast  taken  thy  great  power,  and

their  testimony,  the  beast,  that  ascend- 
eth  out  of  the  abyss,  shall  make  war 
against  them,  and  shall  overcome  them, 
and  kill  them. 

8  And  their  bodies  shall  lie  in  the 
streets  of  the  great  city,  which  is  called 
spiritually,  Sodom  and  Egypt,  where  their 
Lord  also  was  crucified. 

9  And  they  of  the  tribes,  and  peoples, 
and  tongues,  and  nations,  shall  see  their 
bodies  for  three  days  and  a  half:  and 
they  shall  not  suffer  their  bodies  to  be 
laid  in  sepulchres. 

10  And  they  that  dwell  upon  the  earth 
shall  rejoice  over  them,  and  make  merry: 
and  shall  send  gifts  one  to  another, 
because  these  two  prophets  tormented 
them  that  dwelt  upon  the  earth. 

11  And  after  three  days  and  a  half,  the 
spirit  of  life  from  God  entered  into 
them.  And  they  stood  upon  their  feet, 
and  great  fear  fell  upon  them  that  saw 
them. 

12  And  they  heard  a  great  voice  from 
heaven,  saying  to  them:  Come  up  hither. 
And  they  went  up  to  heaven  in  a  cloud: 
and  their  enemies  saw  them. 

13  And  at  that  hour  there  was  made  a 
great  earthquake,  and  the  tenth  part  of 
the  city  fell :  and  there  were  slain  in  the 
earthquake  names  of  men  seven  thou- 
sand: and  the  rest  were  cast  into  a  fear, 
and  gave  glory  to  the  God  of  heaven. 

14  The  second  woe  is  past :  and  behold 
the  third  woe  will  come  quickly. 

15  And  the  seventh  angel  sounded  the 
trumpet:  and  there  were  great  voices  in 
heaven,  saying:  The  kingdom  of  this 
world  is  become  our  Lord's  and  his 
Christ's,  and  he  shall  reign  for  ever  and 
ever.    Amen. 

16  And  the  four  and  twenty  ancients, 
who  sit  on  their  seats  in  the  sight  of  God, 
fell  on  their  faces  and  adored  God,  say- 
ing: 

17  We  give  thee  thanks,  O  Lord  God 
Almighty,  who  art,  and  who  wast,  and 
who  art  to  come:  because  thou  hast 
taken  to  thee  thy  great  power,  and  thou 
hast  reigned. 

18  And  the  nations  were  angry,  and  thy 
wrath  is  come,  and  the  time  of  the  dead, 
that  they  should  be  judged,  and  that 
thou  shouldest  render  reward  to  thy  ser- 
vants the  prophets  and  the  saints,  and 
to  them  that   fear  thy  name,  little  and

CHAPTER  12. 

AND  there  appeared  a  great  wonder 
in  heaven;  a  woman  clothed  with 
the  sun,  and  the  moon  under  her  feet, 
and  upon  her  head  a  crown  of  twelve 
stars : 

2  And  she  being  with  child  cried, 
travailing  in  birth,  and  pained  to  be  de- 
livered. 

3  And  there  appeared  another  wonder 
in  heaven ;  and  behold  a  great  red  dragon, 
having  seven  heads  and  ten  horns,  and 
seven  crowns  upon  his  heads. 

4  And  his  tail  drew  the  third  part  of 
the  stars  of  heaven,  and  did  cast  them 
to  the  earth :  and  the  dragon  stood  before 
the  woman  which  was  ready  to  be  deliv- 
ered, for  to  devour  her  child  as  soon  as 
it  was  born. 

5  And  she  brought  forth  a  man  child, 
who  was  to  rule  all  nations  with  a  rod  of 
iron :  and  her  child  was  caught  up  unto 
God,  and  to  his  throne. 

6  And  the  woman  fled  into  the  wilder- 
ness, where  she  hath  a  place  prepared  of 
God,  that  they  should  feed  her  there  a 
thousand  two  hundred  and  threescore 
days. 

7  And  there  was  war  in  heaven :  Mi- 
chael and  his  angels  fought  against  the 
dragon;  and  the  dragon  fought  and  his 
angels, 

8  And  prevailed  not;  neither  was  their 
place  found  any  more  in  heaven. 

9  And  the  great  dragon  was  cast  out, 
that  old  serpent,  called  the  Devil,  and 
Satan,  which  deceiveth  the  whole  world : 
he  was  cast  out  into  the  earth,  and  his 
angels  were  cast  out  with  him.

another  sign  in  heaven ;  and  behold, 
a  great  red  dragon,  having  seven 
heads  and  ten  horns,  and  upon  his 
heads  seven  diadems.  4  And  his

before  the  woman  which  was  about 
to  be  delivered,  that  when  she  was 
delivered,  he  might  devour  her 
child.  5  And  she  was  delivered  of 
a  son,  a  man  child,  who  is  to  rule

A  woman  clothed  with  the  sun,  and 
the  moon  under  her  feet,  and  on  her 
head  a  crown  of  twelve  stars : 

2  And  being  with  child,  she  cried  trav- 
ailing in  birth,  and  was  in  pain  to  be 
delivered. 

3  And  there  was  seen  another  sign  in 
heaven:  and  behold  a  great  red  dragon, 
having  seven  heads,  and  ten  horns :  and 
on  his  heads  seven  diadems: 

4  And  his  tail  drew  the  third  part  of 
the  stars  of  heaven,  and  cast  them  to 
the  earth :  and  the  dragon  stood  before 
the  woman  who  was  ready  to  be  deliv-

he  might  devour  her  son. 

5  And  she  brought  forth  a  man  child, 
who  was  to  rule  all  nations  with  an  iron 
rod:  and  her  son  was  taken  up  to  God, 
and  to  his  throne.

ness, where  she  had  a  place  prepared  by 
God,  that  there  they  should  feed  her  a 
thousand  two  hundred  sixty  days. 

7  And  there  was  a  great  battle  in  hea-

the  dragon,  and  the  dragon  fought  and

and  his  angels  were  thrown  down  with 
him.

strength,  and  the  kingdom  of  our  God, 
and  the  power  of  his  Christ :  for  the  ac- 
cuser of  our  brethren  is  cast  down,  which 
accused  them  before  our  God  day  and 
night. 

11  And  they  overcame  him  by  the  blood 
of  the  Lamb,  and  by  the  word  of  their 
testimony;  and  they  loved  not  their  lives

that  he  hath  but  a  short  time. 

13  And  when  the  dragon  saw  that  he 
was  cast  unto  the  earth,  he  persecuted 
the  woman  which  brought  forth  the  man 
child.

where  she  is  nourished  for  a  time,  and

mouth  water  as  a  flood  after  the  woman, 
that  he  might  cause  her  to  be  carried 
away  of  the  flood. 

16  And  the  earth  helped  the  woman, 
and  the  earth  opened  her  mouth,  and 
swallowed  up  the  flood  which  the  dragon 
cast  out  of  his  mouth.

commandments  of  God,  and  have  the

helped  the  woman,  and  the  earth 
opened  her  mouth,  and  swallowed 
up  the  river  which  the  dragon  cast 
out  of  his  mouth.  17  And  the 
dragon  waxed  wroth  with  the  wo-

to  continue  forty  and  two  months. 

6  And  he  opened  his  mouth  in  blas- 
phemy against  God,  to  blaspheme  his 
name,  and  his  tabernacle,  and  them  that 
dwell  in  heaven. 

7  And  it  was  given  unto  him  to  make 
war  with  the  saints,  and  to  overcome 
them :  and  power  was  given  him  over  all 
kindreds,  and  tongues,  and  nations. 

8  And  all  that  dwell  upon  the  earth 
shall  worship  him,  whose  names  are  not 
written  in  the  book  of  life  of  the  Lamb 
slain  from  the  foundation  of  the  world. 

9  If  any  man  have  an  ear,  let  him 
hear. 

10  He  that  leadeth  into  captivity  shall 
go  into  captivity:  he  that  killeth  with  the 
sword  must  be  killed  with  the  sword. 
Here  is  the  patience  and  the  faith  of  the 
saints. 

11  And  I  beheld  another  beast  coming 
up  out  of  the  earth ;  and  he  had  two  horns 
like  a  lamb,  and  he  spake  as  a  dragon. 

12  And  he  exerciseth  all  the  power  of 
the  first  beast  before  him,  and  causeth 
the  earth  and  them  which  dwell  therein 
to  worship  the  first  beast,  whose  deadly 
wound  was  healed. 

13  And  he  doeth  great  wonders,  so 
that  he  maketh  fire  come  down  from 
heaven  on  the  earth  in  the  sight  of  men, 

14  And  deceiveth  them  that  dwell  on 
the  earth  by  the  means  of  those  miracles 
which  he  had  power  to  do  in  the  sight  of 
the  beast;  saying  to  them  that  dwell  on 
the  earth,  that  they  should  make  an  image 
to  the  beast,  which  had  the  wound  by  a 
sword,  and  did  live. 

15  And  he  had  power  to  give  life  unto 
the  image  of  the  beast,  that  the  image 
of  the  beast  should  both  speak,  and  cause 
that  as  many  as  would  not  worship  the 
image  of  the  beast  should  be  killed. 

16  And  he  causeth  all,  both  small  and 
great,  rich  and  poor,   free  and  bond,  to 


the  mouth  of  a  lion :  and  the 
dragon  gave  him  his  power,  and 
his  throne,  and  great  authority. 
3  And  /  saw  one  of  his  heads  as 
though  it  had  been  smitten  unto 
death ;  and  his  death-stroke  was 
healed:  and  the  whole  earth  won- 
dered after  the  beast;  4  and  they 
worshipped  the  dragon,  because  he 
gave  his  authority  unto  the  beast; 
and  they  worshipped  the  beast,  say- 
ing. Who  is  like  unto  the  beast? 
and  who  is  able  to  war  with  him? 
5  and  there  was  given  to  him  a 
mouth  speaking  great  things  and 
blasphemies ;  and  there  was  given 
to  him  authority  to  continue  forty 
and  two  months.  6  And  he  opened 
his  mouth  for  blasphemies  against 
God,  to  blaspheme  his  name,  and 
his  tabernacle,  even  them  that  dwell 
in  the  heaven.  7  And  it  was  given 
unto  him  to  make  war  with  the 
saints,  and  to  overcome  them :  and 
there  was  given  to  him  authority 
over  every  tribe  and  people  and 
tongue  and  nation.  8  And  all  that 
dwell  on  the  earth  shall  worship 
him,  every  one  whose  name,  hath 
not  been  written  in  the  book  of 
life  of  the  Lamb  that  hath  been 
slain  from  the  foundation  of  the 
world.  9  If  any  man  hath  an  ear, 
let  him  hear.  10  If  any  man  is 
for  captivity,  into  captivity  he  go- 
eth :  if  any  man  shall  kill  with 
the  sword,  with  the  sword  must 
he  be  killed.  Here  is  the  patience 
and  the  faith  of  the  saints. 

II  And  I  saw  another  beast  com- 
ing up  out  of  the  earth ;  and  he  had 
two  horns  like  unto  a  lamb,  and  he 
spake  as  a  dragon.  12  And  he  ex- 
erciseth all  the  authority  of  the 
first  beast  in  his  sight.  And  he 
maketh  the  earth  and  them  that 
dwell  therein  to  worship  the  first 
beast,  whose  death-stroke  was 
healed.  13  And  he  doeth  great 
signs,  that  he  should  even  make 
fire  to  come  down  out  of  heaven 
upon  the  earth  in  the  sight  of  men. 
14  And  he  deceiveth  them  that 
dwell  on  the  earth  by  reason  of  the 
signs  which  it  was  given  him  to 
do  in  the  sight  of  the  beast;  say- 
ing to  them  that  dwell  on  the  earth, 
that  they  should  make  an  image  to 
the  beast,  who  hath  the  stroke  of

mouth  as  the  mouth  of  a  lion: 
and  the  dragon  gave  him  his 
power,  and  his  throne,  and  great 
authority.  3  And  /  saw  one  of  his 
heads  as  though  it  had  been 
smitten  unto  death ;  and  his 
death-stroke  was  healed:  and  the 
whole  earth  wondered  after  the 
beast;  4  and  they  worshipped  the 
dragon,  because  he  gave  his  au- 
thority unto  the  beast;  and  they 
worshipped  the  beast,  saying,  Who 
is  like  unto  the  beast?  and  who 
is  able  to  war  with  him?  5 
and  there  was  given  to  him  a 
mouth  speaking  great  things  and 
blasphemies ;  and  there  was  given 
to  him  authority  to  continue 
forty  and  two  months.  6  And  he 
opened  his  mouth  for  blasphemies 
against  God,  to  blaspheme  his 
name,  and  his  tabernacle,  even 
them  that  dwell  in  the  heaven. 
7  And  it  was  given  unto  him  to 
make  war  with  the  saints,  and  to 
overcome  them :  and  there  was 
given  to  him  authority  over  every 
tribe  and  people  and  tongue  and 
nation.  8  And  all  that  dwell  on 
the  earth  shall  worship  him,  every 
one  whose  name  hath  not  been 
written  from  the  foundation  of 
the  world  in  the  book  of  life  of 
the  Lamb  that  hath  been  slain.  9 
If  any  man  hath  an  ear,  let  him 
hear.  10  If  any  man  is  for 
captivity,  into  captivity  he  goeth : 
if  any  man  shall  kill  with  the 
sword,  with  the  sword  must  he  be 
killed.  Here  is  the  patience  and 
the  faith  of  the  saints. 

II  And  I  saw  another  beast 
coming  up  out  of  the  earth;  and 
he  had  two  horns  like  unto  a 
lamb,  and  he  spake  as  a  dragon. 
12  And  he  exerciseth  all  the  au- 
thority of  the  first  beast  in  his 
sight.  And  he  maketh  the  earth 
and  them  that  dwell  therein  to 
worship  the  first  beast,  whose 
death-stroke  was  healed.  13  And 
he  doeth  great  signs,  that  he 
should  even  make  fire  to  come 
down  out  of  heaven  upon  the  earth 
in  the  sight  of  men.  14  And  he 
deceiveth  them  that  dwell  on  the 
earth  by  reason  of  the  signs  which 
it  was  given  him  to  do  in  the  sight 
of  the  beast;  saying  to  them  that 


slain  to  death:  and  his  death's  wound 
was  healed.  And  all  the  earth  was  in 
admiration  after  the  beast. 

4  And  they  adored  the  dragon,  which 
gave  power  to  the  beast:  and  they 
adored  the  beast,  saying:  Who  is  like  to 
the  beast?  and  who  shall  be  able  to 
fight  with  him? 

5  And  there  was  given  to  him  a  mouth 
speaking  great  things,  and  blasphemies: 
and  power  was  given  to  him  to  do  two 
and  forty  months. 

6  And  he  opened  his  mouth  unto  blas- 
phemies against  God,  to  blaspheme  his 
name,  and  his  tabernacle,  and  them  that 
dwell  in  heaven. 

7  And  it  was  given  unto  him  to  make 
war  with  the  saints,  and  to  overcome 
them.  And  power  was  given  him  over 
every  tribe,  and  people,  and  tongue,  and 
nation. 

8  And  all  that  dwell  upon  the  earth 
adored  him,  whose  names  are  not  written 
in  the  book  of  life  of  the  Lamb,  which 
was  slain  from  the  beginning  of  the 
world. 

9  If  any  man  have  an  ear,  let  him 
hear. 

ID  He  that  shall  lead  into  captivity, 
shall  go  into  captivity:  he  that  shall  kill 
by  the  sword,  must  be  killed  by  the  sword. 
Here  is  the  patience  and  the  faith  of  the 
saints. 

11  And  I  saw  another  beast  coming  up 
out  of  the  earth,  and  he  had  two  horns, 
like  a  lamb,  and  he  spoke  as  a  dragon. 

12  And  he  executed  all  the  power  of 
the  former  beast  in  his  sight;  and  he 
caused  the  earth,  and  them  that  dwell 
therein,  to  adore  the  first  beast,  whose 
wound  to  death  was  healed. 

13  And  he  did  great  signs,  so  that  he 
made  also  fire  to  come  down  from  heaven 
unto  the  earth  in  the  sight  of  men. 

14  And  he  seduced  them  that  dwell 
on  the  earth,  for  the  signs,  which  were 
given  him  to  do  in  the  sight  of  the  beast, 
saying  to  them  that  dwell  on  the  earth, 
that  they  should  make  the  image  of  the 
beast,  which  had  the  wound  by  the 
sword,  and  lived. 

15  And  it  was  given  him  to  give  life  to 
the  image  of  the  beast,  and  that  the 
image  of  the  beast  should  speak;  and 
should  cause,  that  whosoever  will  not 
adore  the  image  of  the  beast,  should  be 
slain. 

16  And  he  shall  make  all,  both  little

was  given  unto  him  to  give  breath

that  the  image  of  the  beast  should 
both  speak,  and  cause  that  as  many 
as  should  not  worship  the  image  of 
the  beast  should  be  killed.  16  And 
he  causeth  all,  the  small  and  the 
great,  and  the  rich  and  the  poor, 
and  the  free  and  the  bond,  that 
there  be  given  them  a  mark  on  their

able  to  buy  or  to  sell,  save  he  that

the  beast  or  the  number  of  his

that  hath  understanding,  let  him 
count  the  number  of  the  beast;  for 
it  is  the  number  of  a  man :  and  his 
number  is  Six  hundred  and  sixty 
and  six. 


CHAPTER  14. 

AND  I  looked,  and,  lo,  a  Lamb  stood 
on  the  mount  Sion,  and  with  him  an 
hundred  forty  and  four  thousand,  having 
his  Father's  name  written  in  their  fore- 
heads. 

2  And  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven, 
as  the  voice  of  many  waters,  and  as  the 
voice  of  a  great  thunder:  and  I  heard 
the  voice  of  harpers  harping  with  their 
harps : 

3  And  they  sung  as  it  were  a  new  song 
before  the  throne,  and  before  the  four 
beasts,  and  the  elders :  and  no  man  could 
learn  that  song  but  the  hundred  and  forty 
and  four  thousand,  which  were  redeemed 
from  the  earth. 

4  These  are  they  which  were  not  defiled 
with  women ;  for  they  are  virgins.  These 
are  they  which  follow  the  Lamb  whither- 
soever he  goeth.  These  were  redeemed 
from  among  men,  being  the  firstfruits 
unto  God  and  to  the  Lamb. 

5  And  in  their  mouth  was  found  no 
guile:  for  they  are  without  fault  before 
the  throne  of  God. 

6  And  I  saw  another  angel  fly  in  the 
midst  of  heaven,  having  the  everlasting 
gospel  to  preach  unto  them  that  dwell  on 
the  earth,  and  to  every  nation,  and  kin- 
dred, and  tongue,  and  people, 

7  Saying  with  a  loud  voice.  Fear  God, 
and  give  glory  to  him;  for  the  hour  of 
his  judgment  is  come:  and  worship  him

they  sing  as  it  were  a  new  song

make  an  image  to  the  beast  who 
hath  the  stroke  of  the  sword  and

him  to  give  breath  to  it,  even  to 
the  image  of  the  beast,  that  the 
image  of  the  beast  should  both 
speak,  and  cause  that  as  many  as 
should  not  worship  the  image  of 
the  beast  should  be  killed.  16  And 
he  causeth  all,  the  small  and  the 
greatj  and  the  rich  and  the  poor, 
and  the  free  and  the  bond,  that 
there  be  given  them  a  mark  on

CHAPTER  14. 

AND  I  beheld,  and  lo  a  Iamb  stood 
upon  mount  Sion,  and  with  him  an 
hundred  forty-four  thousand,  having  his 
name,  and  the  name  of  his  Father,  writ- 
ten on  their  foreheads. 

2  And  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven,  as 
the  noise  of  many  waters,  and  as  the 
voice  of  great  thunder;  and  the  voice 
which  I  heard,  was  as  the  voice  of  harp-

3  And  they  sung  as  it  were  a  new  can-

four  living  creatures,  and  the  ancients; 
and  no  man  could  say  the  canticle,  but 
those  hundred  forty-four  thousand,  who 
were  purchased  from  the  earth. 

4  These  are  they  who  were  not  defiled

that  made  heaven,  and  earth,  and  the  sea, 
and  the  fountains  of  waters. 

8  And  there  followed  another  angel, 
saying,  Babylon  is  fallen,  is  fallen,  that 
great  city,  because  she  made  all  nations 
drink  of  the  wine  of  the  wrath  of  her 
fornication. 

9  And  the  third  angel  followed  them, 
saying  with  a  loud  voice,  If  any  man 
worship  the  beast  and  his  image,  and  re- 
ceive his  mark  in  his  forehead,  or  in  his 
hand, 

10  The  same  shall  drink  of  the  wine 
of  the  wrath  of  God,  which  is  poured  out 
without  mixture  into  the  cup  of  his  in- 
dignation ;  and  he  shall  be  tormented  with 
fire  and  brimstone  in  the  presence  of  the 
holy  angels,  and  in  the  presence  of  the 
Lamb : 

11  And  the  smoke  of  their  torment 
ascendeth  up  for  ever  and  ever :  and  they 
have  no  rest  day  nor  night,  who  worship 
the  beast  and  his  image,  and  whosoever 
receiveth  the  mark  of  his  name. 

12  Here  is  the  patience  of  the  saints: 
here  are  they  that  keep  the  command- 
ments of  God,  and  the  faith  of  Jesus. 

13  And  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven 
saying  unto  me,  Write,  Blessed  are  the 
dead  which  die  in  the  Lord  from  hence- 
forth:  Yea,  saith  the  Spirit,  that  they 
may  rest  from  their  labours;  and  their 
works  do  follow  them. 

14  And  I  looked,  and  behold  a  white 
cloud,  and  upon  the  cloud  one  sat  like 
unto  the  Son  of  man,  having  on  his  head 
a  golden  crown,  and  in  his  hand  a  sharp 
sickle. 

15  And  another  angel  came  out  of  the 
temple,  crying  with  a  loud  voice  to  him 
that  sat  on  the  cloud,  Thrust  in  thy  sickle, 
and  reap :  for  the  time  is  come  for  thee 
to  reap;  for  the  harvest  of  the  earth 
is  ripe. 

16  And  he  that  sat  on  the  cloud  thrust 
in  his  sickle  on  the  earth;  and  the  earth 
was  reaped. 

17  And  another  angel  came  out  of  the 
temple  which  is  in  heaven,  he  also  having 
a  sharp  sickle. 

18  And  another  angel  came  out  from 
the  altar,  which  had  power  over  fire;  and 
cried  with  a  loud  cry  to  him  that  had 
the  sharp  sickle,  saying,  Thrust  in  thy 
sharp  sickle,  and  gather  the  clusters  of 
the  vine  of  the  earth;  for  her  grapes 
are  fully  ripe. 

19  And  the  angel  thrust  in  his  sickle 
into  the  earth,  and  gathered  the  vine  of 


and  people;  7  and  he  saith  with  a 
great  voice.  Fear  God,  and  give 
him  glory;  for  the  hour  of  his 
judgement  is  come:  and  worship 
him  that  made  the  heaven  and  the 
earth  and  sea  and  fountains  of 
waters. 

8  And  another,  a  second  angel, 
followed,  saying,  Fallen,  fallen  is 
Babylon  the  great,  which  hath  made 
all  the  nations  to  drink  of  the 
wine  of  the  wrath  of  her  formica- 
tion. 

9  And  another  angel,  a  third, 
followed  them,  saying  with  a  great 
voice,  If  any  man  worshippeth 
the  beast  and  his  image,  and  receiv- 
eth a  mark  on  his  forehead,  or 
upon  his  hand,  10  he  also  shall 
drink  of  the  wine  of  the  wrath  of 
God,  which  is  prepared  unmixed 
in  the  cup  of  his  anger;  and  he 
shall  be  tormented  with  fire  and 
brimstone  in  the  presence  of  the 
holy  angels,  and  in  the  presence  of 
the  Lamb:  11  and  the  smoke  of 
their  torment  goeth  up  for  ever 
and  ever;  and  they  have  no  rest 
day  and  night,  they  that  worship 
the  beast  and  his  image,  and  whoso 
receiveth  the  mark  of  his  name. 
12  Here  is  the  patience  of  the 
saints,  they  that  keep  the  com- 
mandments of  God,  and  the  faith 
of  Jesus. 

13  And  I  heard  a  voice  from  hea- 
ven saying.  Write,  Blessed  are  the 
dead  which  die  in  the  Lord  from 
henceforth :  yea,  saith  the  Spirit, 
•that  they  may  rest  from  their  la- 
bours; for  their  works  follow  with 
them. 

14  And  I  saw,  and  behold,  a 
white  cloud ;  and  on  the  cloud  /  saw 
one  sitting  like  unto  a  son  of  man, 
having  on  his  head  a  golden  crown, 
and  in  his  hand  a  sharp  sickle. 
15  And  another  angel  came  out 
from  the  temple,  crying  with  a 
great  voice  to  him  that  sat  on  the 
cloud,  Send  forth  thy  sickle,  and 
reap :  for  the  hour  to  reap  is  come ; 
for  the  harvest  of  the  earth  is  over- 
ripe. 16  And  he  that  sat  on  the 
cloud  cast  his  sickle  upon  the  earth ; 
and  the  earth  was  reaped. 

17  And  another  angel  came  out 
from  the  temple  which  is  in  heaven, 
he    also    having    a    sharp    sickly.

nation  and  tribe  and  tongue  and 
people ;  7  and  he  saith  with  a  great 
voice,  Fear  God,  and  give  him 
glory;  for  the  hour  of  his  judg- 
ment is  come :  and  worship  him  that 
made  the  heaven  and  the  earth  and

8  And  another,  a  second  angel, 
followed,  saying.  Fallen,  fallen  is 
Babylon  the  great,  that  hath  made 
all  the  nations  to  drink  of  the  wine 
of  the  wrath  of  her  fornication. 

9  And  another  angel,  a  third, 
followed  them,  saying  with  a  great 
voice,  If  any  man  worshippeth  the 
beast  and  his  image,  and  receiv-

Here  is  the  patience  of  the  saints, 
they  that  keep  the  commandments 
of  God,  and  the  faith  of  Jesus. 

13  And  I  heard  a  voice  from 
heaven  saying,  Write,  Blessed  are 
the  dead  who  die  in  the  Lord  from

that  they  may  rest  from  their  la-

14  And  I  saw,  and  behold,  a  white 
cloud;  and  on  the  cloud  /  saw  one 
sitting  like  unto  a  son  of  man,  hav- 
ing on  his  head  a  golden  crown, 
and  in  his  hand  a  sharp  sickle. 
15  And  another  angel  came  out 
from  the  temple,  crying  with  a 
great  voice  to  him  that  sat  on  the 
cloud,  Send  forth  thy  sickle,  and 
reap :  for  the  hour  to  reap  is  come ; 
for  the  harvest  of  the  earth  is

cloud  cast  his  sickle  upon  the  earth ; 
and  the  earth  was  reaped. 

17  And  another  angel  came 
out  from  the  temple  which  is  in 
heaven,  he  also  having  a  sharp 
sickle.  18  And  another  angel  came 
out   from  the   altar,   he   that   hath 


ye  him,  that  made  heaven  and  earth,  the 
sea,  and  the   fountains  of  waters. 

8  And  another  angel  followed,  saying: 
That  great  Babylon  is  fallen,  is  fallen; 
which  made  all  nations  to  drink  of 
the  wine  of  the  wrath  of  her  fornica- 
tion. 

9  And  the  third  angel  followed  them, 
saying  with  a  loud  voice:  If  any  man 
shall  adore  the  beast  and  his  image,  and 
receive  his  character  in  his  forehead,  or 
in  his  hand; 

ID  He  also  shall  drink  of  the  wine  of 
the  wrath  of  God,  which  is  mingled  with 
pure  wine  in  the  cup  of  his  wrath,  and 
shall  be  tormented  with  fire  and  brim- 
stone in  the  sight  of  the  holy  angels, 
and  in  the  sight  of  the  Lamb. 

11  And  the  smoke  of  their  torments 
shall  ascend  up  for  ever  and  ever: 
neither  have  they  rest  day  nor  night,  who 
have  adored  the  beast,  and  his  image, 
and  whoever  receiveth  the  character  of 
his  name. 

12  Here  is  the  patience  of  the  saints, 
who  keep  the  commandments  of  God, 
and  the  faith  of  Jesus. 

13  And  I  heard  a  voice  from  heaven, 
saying  to  me :  Write :  Blessed  are  the 
dead,  who  die  in  the  Lord.  From  hence- 
forth now,  saith  the  Spirit,  that  they  may 
rest  from  their  labours;  for  their  works 
follow  them. 

14  And  I  saw,  and  behold  a  white  cloud ; 
and  upon  the  cloud  one  sitting  like  to 
the  Son  of  man,  having  on  his  head  a 
crown  of  gold,  and  in  his  hand  a  sharp 
sickle. 

15  And  another  angel  came  out  from 
the  temple  crying  with  a  loud  voice  to 
him  that  sat  upon  the  cloud :  Thrust  in 
thy  sickle,  and  reap,  because  the  hour  is 
come  to  reap :  for  the  harvest  of  the 
earth  is  ripe. 

16  And  he  that  sat  on  the  cloud  thrust 
his  sickle  into  the  earth,  and  the  earth 
was  reaped. 

17  And  another  angel  came  out  of  the 
temple  which  is  in  heaven,  he  also  hav- 
ing a  sharp  sickle. 

18  And  another  angel  came  out  from

the  earth,  and  cast  it  into  the  great  wine- 
press of  the  wrath  of  God. 

20  And  the  winepress  was  trodden 
without  the  city,  and  blood  came  out  of 
the  winepress,  even  unto  the  horse  bridles, 
by  the  space  of  a  thousand  and  six  hun- 
dred furlongs. 


CHAPTER  15. 

AND  I  saw  another  sign  in  heaven, 
great  and  niarvellous,  seven  angels 
having  the  seven  last  plagues ;  for  in  them 
is  filled  up  the  wrath  of  God. 

2  And  I  saw  as  it  were  a  sea  of  glass 
mingled  with  fire :  and  them  that  had 
gotten  the  victory  over  the  beast,  and 
over  his  image,  and  over  his  mark,  and 
over  the  number  of  his  name,  stand  on 
the  sea  of  glass,  having  the  harps  of 
God. 

3  And  they  sing  the  song  of  Moses 
the  servant  of  God,  and  the  song  of  the 
Lamb,  saying,  Great  and  marvellous  are 
thy  works,  Lord  God  Almighty ;  just 
and  true  are  thy  ways,  thou  King  of 
saints. 

4  Who  shall  not  fear  thee,  O  Lord, 
and  glorify  thy  name?  for  thou  only  art 
holy :  for  all  nations  shall  come  and  wor- 
ship before  thee;  for  thy  judgments  are 
made  manifest. 

5  And  after  that  I  looked,  and,  behold, 
the  temple  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  testi- 
mony in  heaven  was  opened : 

6  And  the  seven  angels  came  out  of 
the  temple,  having  the  seven  plagues, 
clothed  in  pure  and  white  linen,  and  hav- 
ing their  breasts  girded  with  golden 
girdles. 

7  And  one  of  the  four  beasts  gave  unto 
the  seven  angels  seven  golden  vials  full 
of  the  wrath  of  God,  who  liveth  for  ever 
and  ever. 

8  And  the  temple  was  filled  with  smoke 
from  the  glory  of  God,  and  from  his 
power;   and  no  man  was  able  to   enter 


18  And  another  angel  came  out 
from  the  altar,  he  that  hath  power 
over  fire;  and  he  called  with  a 
great  voice  to  him  that  had  the 
sharp  sickle,  saying,  Send  forth 
thy  sharp  sickle,  and  gather  the 
clusters  of  the  vine  of  the  earth ; 
for     her     grapes    are     fully     ripe. 

19  And  the  angel  cast  his  sickle 
into  the  earth,  and  gathered  the 
vintage  of  the  earth,  and  cast  it 
into  the  winepress,  the  great  wine- 
press, of  the  wrath  of  God.  20  And 
the  winepress  was  trodden  with- 
out the  city,  and  there  came  out 
blood  from  the  winepress,  even 
unto  the  bridles  of  the  horses,  as 
far  as  a  thousand  and  six  hundred 
furlongs. 

A  ND  I  saw  another  sign  in 
15-^  heaven,  great  and  marvel- 
lous, seven  angels  having  seven 
plagues,  which  are  the  last,  for  in 
them  is  finished  the  wrath  of  God. 

2  And  I  saw  as  it  were  a  glassy 
sea  mingled  with  fire;  and  them 
that  come  victorious  from  the 
beast,  and  from  his  image,  and 
from  the  number  of  his  name, 
standing  by  the  glassy  sea,  hav- 
ing harps  of  God.  3  And  they  sing 
the  song  of  Moses  the  servant  of 
God,  and  the  song  of  the  Lamb, 
saying.  Great  and  marvellous  are 
thy  works,  O  Lord  God,  the  Al- 
mighty; righteous  and  true  are  thy 
ways,  thou  King  of  the  ages.  4 
Who  shall  not  fear,  O  Lord,  and 
glorify  thy  name?  for  thou  only 
art  holy;  for  all  the  nations  shall 
come  and  worship  before  thee;  for 
thy  righteous  acts  have  been  made 
manifest. 

5  And  after  these  things  I  saw, 
and  the  temple  of  the  tabernacle 
of  the  testimony  in  heaven  was 
opened :  6  and  there  came  out  from 
the  temple  the  seven  angels  that 
had  the  seven  plagues,  arrayed 
with  precious  stone,  pure  and 
bright,  and  girt  about  their  breasts 
with  golden  girdles.  7  And  one  of 
the  four  living  creatures  gave  unto 
the  seven  angels  seven  golden 
bowls  full  of  the  wrath  of  God, 
who  liveth  for  ever  and  ever.  8 
And  the  temple  was  filled  with 
smoke  from  the  glory  of  God,  and

a  great  voice  to  him  that  had  the 
sharp  sickle,  saying,  Send  forth 
thy  sharp  sickle,  and  gather  the 
clusters  of  the  vine  of  the  earth; 
for  her  grapes  are  fully  ripe.  19 
And  the  angel  cast  his  sickle  into 
the  earth,  and  gathered  the  vin- 
tage of  the  earth,  and  cast  it  into 
the  winepress,  the  great  winepress, 
of  the  wrath  of  God.  20  And  the 
winepress  was  trodden  without  the

20  And  the  press  was  trodden  without 
the  city,  and  blood  came  out  of  the  press, 
up  to  the  horses'  bridles,  for  a  thousand 
and  six  hundred  furlongs.

I5-^j^  heaven,  great  and  marvel- 
lous, seven  angels  having  seven 
plagues,  which  are  the  last,  for  in 
them  is  finished  the  wrath  of  God. 
2  And  I  saw  as  it  were  a  sea  of 
glass  mingled  with  fire;  and  them 
that  come  off  victorious  from  the 
beast,  and  from  his  image,  and 
from  the  number  of  his  name, 
standing  by  the  sea  of  glass, 
having  harps  of  God.  3  And  they 
sing  the  song  of  Moses  the  serv- 
ant of  God,  and  the  song  of  the 
Lamb,  saying,

5  And  after  these  things  I  saw, 
and  the  temple  of  the  taber-

AND  I  saw  another  sign  in  heaven, 
great  and  wonderful:  seven  an- 
gels having  the  seven  last  plagues. 
For  in  them  is  filled  up  the  wrath  of 
God. 

2  And  I  saw  as  it  were  a  sea  of  glass 
mingled  with  fire,  and  them  that  had 
overcome  the  beast,  and  his  image, 
and  the  number  of  his  name,  standing 
on  the  sea  of  glass,  having  the  harps  of 
God: 

3  And  singing  the  canticle  of  Moses,  the 
servant  of  God,  and  the  canticle  of  the 
Lamb,  saying:  Great  and  wonderful  are 
thy  works,  O  Lord  God  Almighty;  just

4  Who  shall  not  fear  thee,  O  Lord,  and

are  manifest. 

5  And  after  these  things  I  looked; 
and  behold,  the  temple  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  testimony  in  heaven  was 
opened : 

6  And  the  seven  angels  came  out  of  the 
temple,  having  the  seven  plagues,  clothed 
with  clean  and  white  linen,  and  girt  about 
the  breasts  with  golden  girdles. 

7  And  one  of  the  four  living  creatures 
gave  to  the  seven  angels  seven  golden 
vials,  full  of  the  wrath  of  God,  who  liv- 
eth for  ever  and  ever. 

8  And  the  temple  was  filled  with  smoke 
from  the  majesty  of  God,  and  from  his 
power;   and  no  man  was   able  to  enter

REVISED 


into  the  temple,  till  the  seven  plagues  of 
the  seven  angels  were  fulfilled. 


CHAPTER  i6. 

AND  I  heard  a  great  voice  out  of  the 
temple  saying  to  the  seven  angels, 
Go  your  ways,  and  pour  out  the  vials  of 
the  wrath  of  God  upon  the  earth. 

2  And  the  first  went,  and  poured  out 
his  vial  upon  the  earth;  and  there  fell 
a  noisome  and  grievous  sore  upon  the 
men  which  had  the  mark  of  the  beast, 
and  upon  them  which  worshipped  his 
image. 

3  And  the  second  angel  poured  out  his 
vial  upon  the  sea;  and  it  became  as  the 
blood  of  a  dead  man:  and  every  living 
soul  died  in  the  sea. 

4  And  the  third  angel  poured  out  his 
vial  upon  the  rivers  and  fountains  of 
waters;  and  they  became  blood. 

5  And  I  heard  the  angel  of  the  waters 
say,  Thou  art  righteous,  O  Lord,  which 
art,  and  wast,  and  shalt  be,  because  thou 
hast  judged  thus. 

6  For  they  have  shed  the  blood  of  saints 
and  prophets,  and  thou  hast  given  them 
blood  to  drink ;   for  they  are  worthy. 

7  And  I  heard  another  out  of  the  altar 
say.  Even  so,  Lord  God  Almighty,  true 
and  righteous  are  thy  judgments. 

8  And  the  fourth  angel  poured  out  his 
vial  upon  the  sun ;  and  power  was  given 
unto  him  to  scorch  men  with  fire. 

9  And  men  were  scorched  with  great 
heat,  and  blasphemed  the  name  of  God, 
which  hath  power  over  these  plagues :  and 
they  repented  not  to  give  him  glory. 

ID  And  the  fifth  angel  poured  out  his 
vial  upon  the  seat  of  the  beast;  and  his 
kingdom  was  full  of  darkness ;  and  they 
gnawed  their  tongues  for  pain, 

11  And  blasphemed  the  God  of  heaven 
because  of  their  pains  and  their  sores, 
and  repented  not  of  their  deeds. 

12  And  the  sixth  angel  poured  out  his 
vial  upon  the  great  river  Euphrates;  and 
the  water  thereof  was  dried  up,  that  the 
way  of  the  kings  of  the  east  might  be 
prepared. 

13  And  I  saw  three  unclean  spirits  like 
frogs  come  out  of  the  mouth  of  the 
dragon,  and  out  of  the  mouth  of  the  beast, 
and  out  of  the  mouth  of  the  false  prophet. 

14  For  they  are  the  spirits  of  devils, 
working  miracles,  which  go  forth  unto  the 


from  his  power;  and  none  was 
able  to  enter  into  the  temple,  till 
the  seven  plagues  of  the  seven 
angels  should  be  finished. 


j/i  \  ND  I  heard  a  great  voice 
IO./\.  out  of  the  temple,  saying 
to  the  seven  angels,  Go  ye,  and 
pour  out  the  seven  bowls  of  the 
wrath  of  God  into  the  earth. 

2  And  the  first  went,  and  poured 
out  his  bowl  into  the  earth;  and 
it  became  a  noisome  and  grievous 
sore  upon  the  men  which  had  the 
mark  of  the  beast,  and  which  wor- 
shipped his  image. 

3  And  the  second  poured  out  his 
bowl  into  the  sea;  and  it  became 
blood  as  of  a  dead  man ;  and  every 
living  soul  died,  even  the  things 
that  were  in  the  sea. 

4  And  the  third  poured  out  his 
bowl  into  the  rivers  and  the  foun- 
tains of  the  waters ;  and  it  be- 
came blood.  5  And  I  heard  the 
angel  of  the  waters  saying,  Right- 
eous art  thou,  which  art  and  which 
wast,  thou  Holy  One,  because 
thou  didst  _thus  judge:  6  for  they 
poured  out  the  blood  of  saints  and 
prophets,  and  blood  hast  thou  given 
them  to  drink:  they  are  worthy. 
7  And  I  heard  the  altar  saying.  Yea, 
O  Lord  God,  the  Almighty,  true 
and  righteous  are  thy  judgements. 

8  And  the  fourth  poured  out  his 
bowl  upon  the  sun ;  and  it  was 
given  unto  it  to  scorch  men  with 
fire.  9  And  men  were  scorched 
with  great  heat :  and  they  blas- 
phemed the  name  of  the  God  which 
hath  the  power  over  these  plagues; 
and  they  repented  not  to  give  him 
glory. 

10  And  the  fifth  poured  out  his 
bowl  upon  the  throne  of  the  beast; 
and  his  kingdom  was  darkened;

pain,  II  and  they  blasphemed  the 
God  of  heaven  because  of  their 
pains  and  their  sores;  and  they 
repented  not  of  their  works. 

12  And  the  sixth  poured  out  his 
bowl  upon  the  great  river,  the 
river  Euphrates ;  and  the  water 
thereof  was  dried  up,  that  the 
way  might  be  made  ready  for  the

ever.  8  And  the  temple  was  filled 
with  smoke  from  the  glory  of  God, 
and  from  his  power ;  and  none  was 
able  to  enter  into  the  temple,  till 
the  seven  plagues  of  the  seven 
angels  should  be  finished. 

y'  A  ND  I  heard  a  great  voice 
IOXjL  out  of  the  temple,  saying 
to  the  seven  angels,  Go  ye,  and 
pour  out  the  seven  bowls  of  the 
wrath  of  God  into  the  earth. 

2  And  the  first  went,  and  poured 
out  his  bowl  into  the  earth;  and 
it  became  a  noisome  and  grievous 
sore  upon  the  men  that  had  the 
mark  of  the  beast,  and  that  wor- 
shipped his  image. 

3  And  the  second  poured  out  his 
bowl  into  the  sea ;  and  it  became 
blood  as  of  a  dead  man ;  and  every 
living  soul  died,  even  the  things 
that  were  in  the  sea. 

4  And  the  third  poured  out  his 
bowl  into  the  rivers  and  the  foun- 
tains of  the  waters;  and  it  be- 
came blood.  5  And  I  heard  the 
angel  of  the  waters  saying,  Right- 
eous art  thou,  who  art  and  who 
wast,  thou  Holy  One,  because 
thou  didst  thus  judge:  6  for  they 
poured  out  the  blood  of  saints  and 
prophets,  and  blood  hast  thou 
given  them  to  drink:  they  are 
worthy.  7  And  I  heard  the  altar 
saying.  Yea,  O  Lord  God,  the  Al- 
mighty, true  and  righteous  are  thy 
judgments. 

8  And  the  fourth  poured  out  his 
bowl  upon  the  sun;  and  it  was 
given  unto  it  to  scorch  men  with 
fire.  9  And  men  were  scorched 
with  great  heat:  and  they  blas- 
phemed the  name  of  God  who  hath 
the  power  over  these  plagues ;  and 
they  repented  not  to  give  him  glory. 

10  And  the  fifth  poured  out  his 
bowl  upon  the  throne  of  the  beast; 
and  his  kingdom  was  darkened ; 
and  they  gnawed  their  tongues  for 
pain,  II  and  they  blasphemed  the 
God  of  heaven  because  of  their 
pains  and  their  sores ;  and  they  re- 
pented not  of  their  works. 

12  And  the  sixth  poured  out  his 
bowl  upon  the  great  river,  the  river 
Euphrates;  and  the  water  thereof 
was  dried  up,  that  the  way  might 
be  made  ready  for  the  kings  that 


into  the  temple,  till  the  seven  plagues  of 
the  seven  angels  were  fulfilled. 


CHAPTER  16. 

AND  I  heard  a  great  voice  out  of  the 
temple,  saying  to  the  seven  angels: 
Go,  and  pour  out  the  seven  vials  of  the 
wrath  of  God  upon  the  earth. 

2  And  the  first  went,  and  poured  out 
his  vial  upon  the  earth,  and  there  fell  a 
sore  and  grievous  wound  upon  men,  who 
had  the  character  of  the  beast;  and  upon 
them  that  adored  the  image  thereof. 

3  And  the  second  angel  poured  out  his 
vial  upon  the  sea,  and  there  came  blood 
as  it  were  of  a  dead  man ;  and  every  liv- 
ing soul  died  in  the  sea. 

4  And  the  third  poured  out  his  vial 
upon  the  rivers  and  the  fountains  of 
waters ;  and  there  was  made  blood. 

5  And  I  heard  the  angel  of  the  waters 
saying:  Thou  art  just,  O  Lord,  who  art, 
and  who  wast,  the  Holy  One,  because 
thou  hast  judged  these  things: 

6  For  they  have  shed  the  blood  of  saints 
and  prophets,  and  thou  hast  given  them 
blood  to  drink;  for  they  are  worthy. 

7  And  I  heard  another,  from  the  altar, 
saying:  Yea,  O  Lord  God  Almighty,  true 
and  just  are  thy  judgments. 

8  And  the  fourth  angel  poured  out  his 
vial  upon  the  sun,  and  it  was  given  unto 
him  to  afflict  men  with  heat  and  fire : 

9  And  men  were  scorched  with  great 
heat,  and  they  blasphemed  the  name  of 
God,  who  hath  power  over  these  plagues, 
neither  did  they  penance  to  give  him 
glory. 

ID  And  the  fifth  angel  poured  out  his 
vial  upon  the  seat  of  the  beast;  and  his 
kingdom  became  dark,  and  they  gnawed 
their  tongues  for  pain : 

11  And  they  blasphemed  the  God  of 
heaven,  because  of  their  pains  and 
wounds,  and  did  not  penance  for  their 
works. 

12  And  the  sixth  angel  poured  out  his 
vial  upon  that  great  river  Euphrates; 
and  dried  up  the  water  thereof,  that  a 
way  might  be  prepared  for  the  kings 
from  the  rising  of  the  sun. 

13  And  I  saw  from  the  mouth  of  the 
dragon,  and  from  the  mouth  of  the  beast, 
and  from  the  mouth  of  the  false  prophet, 
three  unclean  spirits  like  frogs.

kings  of  the  earth  and  of  the  whole 
world,  to  gather  them  to  the  battle  of  that 
great  day  of  God  Almighty. 

15  Behold,  I  come  as  a  thief.  Blessed 
is  he  that  watcheth,  and  keepeth  his  gar- 
ments, lest  he  walk  naked,  and  they  see 
his  shame. 

16  And  he  gathered  them  together  into 
a  place  called  in  the  Hebrew  tongue  Ar- 
mageddon. 

17  And  the  seventh  angel  poured  out 
his  vial  into  the  air;  and  there  came  a 
great  voice  out  of  the  temple  of  heaven, 
from  the  throne,  saying.  It  is  done. 

18  And  there  were  voices,  and  thun- 
ders, and  lightnings ;  and  there  was  a 
great  earthquake,  such  as  was  not  since 
men  were  upon  the  earth,  so  mighty  an 
earthquake,  and  so  great. 

19  And  the  great  city  was  divided  into 
three  parts,  and  the  cities  of  the  nations 
fell :  and  great  Babylon  came  in  re- 
membrance before  God,  to  give  unto  her 
the  cup  of  the  wine  of  the  fierceness  of 
his  wrath. 

20  And  every  island  fled  away,  and  the 
mountains  were  not  found. 

21  And  there  fell  upon  men  a  great 
hail  out  of  heaven,  every  stone  about  the 
weight  of  a  talent:  and  men  blasphemed 
God  because  of  the  plague  of  the  hail ; 
for  the  plague  thereof  was  exceeding 
great. 


CHAPTER  17. 

AND  there  came  one  of  the  seven 
angels  which  had  the  seven  vials, 
and  talked  with  me,  saying  unto  me. 
Come  hither;  I  will  shew  unto  thee  the 
judgment  of  the  great  whore  that  sitteth 
upon  many  waters : 

2  With  whom  the  kings  of  the  earth 
have  committed  fornication,  and  the  in- 
habitants of  the  earth  have  been  made 
drunk  with  the  wine  of  her  fornica- 
tion. 

3  So  he  carried  me  away  in  the  spirit 
into  the  wilderness :  and  I  saw  a  woman 
sit  upon  a  scarlet  coloured  beast,  full  of 


kings  that  come  from  the  sunrising. 
13  And  I  saw  coming  out  of  the 
mouth  of  the  dragon,  and  out  of 
the  mouth  of  the  beast,  and  out 
of  the  mouth  of  the  false  prophet, 
three  unclean  spirits,  as  it  were 
frogs:  14  for  they  are  spirits  of 
devils,  working  signs ;  which  go 
forth  unto  the  kings  of  the  whole 
world,  to  gather  them  together 
unto  the  war  of  the  great  day  of 
God,  the  Almighty.  15  (Behold, 
I  come  as  a  thief.  Blessed  is  he 
that  watcheth,  and  keepeth  his  gar- 
ments, lest  he  walk  naked,  and  they 
see  his  shame.)  16  And  they  gath- 
ered them  together  into  the  place 
which  is  called  in  Hebrew  Har- 
Magedon. 

17  And  the  seventh  poured  out 
his  bowl  upon  the  air;  and  there 
came  forth  a  great  voice  out  of  the 
temple,  from  the  throne,  saying,  It 
is  done:  18  and  there  were  light- 
nings, and  voices,  and  thunders; 
and  there  was  a  great  earthquake, 
such  as  was  not  since  there  were 
men  upon  the  earth,  so  great  an 
earthquake,  so  mighty.  19  And 
the  great  city  was  divided  into 
three  parts,  and  the  cities  of  the 
nations  fell :  and  Babylon  the  great 
was  remembered  in  the  sight  of 
God,  to  give  unto  her  the  cup  of 
the  wine  of  the  fierceness  of  his 
wrath.  20  And  every  island  fled 
away,  and  the  mountains  were  not 
found.  21  And  great  hail,  every 
stone  about  the  weight  of  a  talent, 
cometh  down  out  of  heaven  upon

saw  coming  out  of  the  mouth  of  the 
dragon,  and  out  of  the  mouth  of  the

his  wrath. 

20  And  every  island  fled  away,  and  the

21  And  great  hail,  like  a  talent,  came 
down  from  heaven  upon  men:  and  men 
blasphemed  God  for  the  plague  of  the 
hail:  because  it  was  exceeding  great. 


CHAPTER  i^. 

AND  there  came  one  of  the  seven  an- 
gels, who  had  the  seven  vials,  and 
spoke  with  me,  saying:  Come,  I  will 
shew  thee  the  condemnation  of  the  great

upon  a  scarlet  coloured  beast,  full  of 
names  of  blasphemy,  having  seven  heads 
and  ten  horns.

names  of  blasphemy,  havi«g  seven  heads 
and  ten  horns. 

4  And  the  woman  was  arrayed  in  pur- 
ple and  scarlet  colour,  and  decked  with 
gold  and  precious  stones  and  pearls,  hav- 
ing a  golden  cup  in  her  hand  full  of 
abominations  and  filthiness  of  her  for- 
nication : 

-  5  And  upon  her  forehead  was  a  name 
written,  MYSTERY,  BABYLON  THE 
GREAT,  THE  MOTHER  OF  HAR- 
LOTS AND  ABOMINATIONS  OF 
THE  EARTH. 

6  And  I  saw  the  woman  drunken  with 
the  blood  of  the  saints,  and  with  the 
blood  of  the  martyrs  of  Jesus:  and  when 
I  saw  her,  I  wondered  with  great  admira- 
tion. 

7  And  the  angel  said  unto  me,  Where- 
fore didst  thou  marvel?  I  will  tell  thee 
the  mystery  of  the  woman,  and  of  the 
beast  that  carrieth  her,  which  hath  the 
seven  heads  and  ten  horns. 

8  The  beast  that  thou  sawest  was,  and 
is  not;  and  shall  ascend  out  of  the  bot- 
tomless pit,  and  go  into  perdition :  and 
they  that  dwell  on  the  earth  shall  won- 
der, whose  names  were  not  written  in  the 
book  of  life  from  the  foundation  of  the 
world,  when  they  behold  the  beast  that 
was,  and  is  not,  and  yet  is. 

9  And  here  is  the  mind  which  hath  wis- 
dom. The  seven  heads  are  seven  moun- 
tains, on  which  the  woman  sitteth. 

ID  And  there  are  seven  kings :  five  are 
fallen,  and  one  is,  and  the  other  is  not  yet 
come;  and  when  he  cometh,  he  must  con- 
tinue a  short  space. 

11  And  the  beast  that  was,  and  is  not, 
even  he  is  the  eighth,  and  is  of  the  seven, 
and  goeth  into  perdition. 

12  And  the  ten  horns  which  thou  saw- 
est are  ten  kings,*  which  have  received 
no  kingdom  as  yet ;  but  receive  power  as 
kings  one  hour  with  the  beast. 

13  These  have  one  mind,  and  shall  give 
their  power  and  strength  unto  the  beast. 

14  These  shall  make  war  with  the 
Lamb,  and  the  Lamb  shall  overcome 
them :  for  he  is  Lord  of  lords,  and  King 
of  kings:  and  they  that  are  with  him  are 
called,  and  chosen,  and  faithful. 

15  And  he  saith  unto  me,  The  waters 
which  thou  sawest,  where  the  whore  sit- 
teth, are  peoples,  and  multitudes,  and  na- 
tions, and  tongues. 

16  And  the  ten  horns  which  thou  sawest 
upon  the  beast,  these  shall  hate  the  whore, 
and  shall  make  her  desolate  and  naked, 


full  of  names  of  blasphemy,  hav- 
ing   seven    heads    and    ten    horns. 

4  And  the  woman  was  arrayed  in 
purple  and  scarlet,  and  decked  with 
gold  and  precious  stone  and  pearls, 
having  in  her  hand  a  golden  eup 
full  of  abominations,  even  the  un- 
clean   things    of    her    fornication, 

5  and  upon  her  forehead  a  name 
written,     mystery,     babylon     the 

GREAT,  THE  MOTHER  OF  THE  HAR- 
LOTS     AND     OF     THE      ABOMINATIONS 

OF  THE  EARTH.  6  And  I  saw  the 
woman  drunken  with  the  blood  of 
the  saints,  and  with  the  blood  of 
the  martyrs  of  Jesus.  And  when 
I  saw  her,  I  wondered  with  a  great 
wonder.  7  And  the  angel  said  unto 
me.  Wherefore  didst  thou  wonder? 
I  will  tell  thee  the  mystery  of  the 
woman,  and  of  the  beast  that  car- 
rieth her,  which  hath  the  seven 
heads  and  the  ten  horns.  8  The 
beast  that  thou  sawest  was,  and 
is  not;  and  is  about  to  come  up 
out  of  the  abyss,  and  to  go  into 
perdition.  And  they  that  dwell  on 
the  earth  shall  wonder,  they  whose 
name  hath  not  been  written  in  the 
book  of  life  from  the  foundation 
of  the  world,  when  they  behold 
the  beast,  how  that  he  was,  and  is 
not,  and  shall  come.  9  Here  is  the 
mind  which  hath  wisdom.  The 
seven  heads  are  seven  mountains, 
on  which  the  woman  sitteth :  10  and 
they  are  seven  kings ;  the  five  are 
fallen,  the  one  is,  the  other  is  not 
yet  come;  and  when  he  cometh,  he 
must  continue  a  little  while.  11  And 
the  beast  that  was,  and  is  not,  is 
himself  also  an  eighth,  and  is  of 
the  seven ;  and  he  goeth  into  perdi- 
tion. 12  And  the  ten  horns  that 
thou  sawest  are  ten  kings,  which 
have  received  no  kingdom  as  yet ; 
but  they  receive  authority  as  kings, 
with  the  beast,  for  one  hour. 
13  These  have  one  mind,  and  they 
give  their  power  and  authority  un- 
to the  beast.  14  These  shall  war 
,  against  the  Lamb,  and  the  Lamb 
shall  overcome  them,  for  he  is  Lord 
of  lords,  and  King  of  kings ;  and 
they  also  shall  overcome  that  are 
with  him,  called  and  chosen  and 
faithful.  15  And  he  saith  unto  me,

where  the  harlot  sitteth,  are  peo-

he  was,  and  is  not,  and  shall 
come.  9  Here  is  the  mind  that 
hath  wisdom.  The  seven  heads 
are  seven  mountains,  on  which 
the  woman  sitteth :  10  and  they 
are  seven  kings;  the  five  are 
fallen,  the  one  is,  the  other  is  not 
yet  come;  and  when  he  cometh, 
he  must  continue  a  little  while. 
II  And  the  beast  that  was,  and  is 
not,  is  himself  also  an  eighth,  and 
is  of  the  seven;  and  he  goeth  into 
perdition.  12  And  the  ten  horns 
that  thou  sawest  are  ten  kings,  who 
have  received  no  kingdom  as  yet; 
but  they  receive  authority  as  kings, 
with  the  beast,  for  one  hour.  13 
These  have  one  mind,  and  they  give 
their  power  and  authority  unto  the 
beast.  14  These  shall  war  against 
the  Lamb,  and  the  Lamb  shall  over- 
come them,  for  he  is  Lord  of  lords, 
and  King  of  kings;  and  they  also 
shall  overcome  that  are  with  him, 
called  and  chosen  and  faithful. 
15  And  he  saith  unto  me.  The 
waters   which   thou   sawest,    where 


4  And  the  woman  was  clothed  round 
about  with  purple  and  scarlet,  and  gilt 
with  gold,  and  precious  stones  and 
pearls,  having  a  golden  cup  in  her  hand, 
full  of  the  abomination  and  filthiness  of 
her  fornication. 

5  And  on  her  forehead  a  name  was 
written:  A  mystery;  Babylon  the  great, 
the  mother  of  the  fornications,  and  the 
abominations  of  the  earth, 

6  And  I  saw  the  woman  drunk  with  the 
blood  of  the  saints,  and  with  the  blood 
of  the  martyrs  of  Jesus.  And  I  won- 
dered, when  I  had  seen  her,  with  great  ad- 
miration. 

7  And  the  angel  said  to  me :  Why  dost 
thou  wonder?  I  will  tell  thee  the  mys- 
tery of  the  woman,  and  of  the  beast 
which  carrieth  her,  which  hath  the  seven 
heads  and  ten  horns. 

8  The  beast,  which  thou  sawest,  was, 
and  is  not,  and  shall  come  up  out  of  the 
bottomless  pit,  and  go  into  destruction : 
and  the  inhabitants  on  the  earth  (whose 
names  are  not  written  in  the  book  of 
life  from  the  foundation  of  the  world) 
shall  wonder,  seeing  the  beast  that  was, 
and  is  not. 

9  And  here  is  the  understanding  that 
hath  wisdom.  The  seven  heads  are  seven 
mountains,  upon  which  the  woman  sit- 
teth, and  they  are  seven  kings : 

10  Five  are  fallen,  one  is,  and  the  other 
is  not  yet  come:  and  when  he  is  come, 
he  must  remain  a  short  time. 

11  And  the  beast  which  was,  and  is  not: 
the  same  also  is  the  eighth,  and  is  of  the 
seven,  and  goeth  into  destruction. 

12  And  the  ten  horns  which  thou  saw- 
est, are  ten  kings,  who  have  not  yet 
received  a  kingdom,  but  shall  receive 
power  as  kings  one  hour  after  the  beast. 

13  These  have  one  design:  and  their 
strength  and  power  they  shall  deliver  to 
the  beast. 

14  These  shall  fight  with  the  Lamb,  and 
the  Lamb  shall  overcome  them,  because 
he  is  Lord  of  lords,  and  King  of  kings, 
and  they  that  are  with  him  are  called, 
and  elect,  and  faithful. 

15  And  he  said  to  me:  The  waters 
which  thou  sawest,  where  the  harlot 
sitteth,  are  peoples,  and  nations,  and 
tongues. 

16  And  the  ten  horns  which  thou  saw- 
est   in    the    beast:    these    shall    hate    the 

■  harlot,  and  shall  make  her  desolate  and 
naked,  and  shall  eat  her  flesh,  and  shall 
burn  her  with  fire.

and  shall  eat  her  flesh,  and  burn  her  with 
fire. 

17  For  God  hath  put  in  their  hearts 
to  fulfil  his  will,  and  to  agree,  and  give 
their  kingdom  unto  the  beast,  until  the 
words  of  God  shall  be  fulfilled. 

18  And  the  woman  which  thou  sawest 
is  that  great  city,  which  reigneth  over  the 
kings  of  the  earth. 


CHAPTER  18. 

AND  after  these  things  I  saw  another 
angel  come  down  from  heaven,  hav- 
ing great  power ;  and  the  earth  was  light- 
ened with  his  glory. 

2  And  he  cried  mightily  with  a  strong 
voice,  saying,  Bgibylon  the  great  is  fallen, 
is  fallen,  and  is  become  the  habitation  of 
devils,  and  the  hold  of  every  foul  spirit, 
and  a  cage  of  every  unclean  and  hateful 
bird. 

3  For  all  nations  have  drunk  of  the 
wine  of  the  wrath  of  her  fornication,  and 
the  kings  of  the  earth  have  committed 
fornication  with  her,  and  the  merchants 
of  the  earth  are  waxed  rich  through  the 
abundance  of  her  delicacies. 

4  And  I  heard  another  voice  from 
heaven,  saying.  Come  out  of  her,  my 
people,  that  ye  be  not  partakers  of  her 
sins,  and  that  ye  receive  not  of  her 
plagues. 

5  For  her  sins  have  reached  unto 
heaven,  and  God  hath  remembered  her 
iniquities. 

6  Reward  her  even  as  she  rewarded 
you,  and  double  unto  her  double  accord- 
ing to  her  works:  in  the  cup  which  she 
hath  filled  fill  to  her  double. 

7  How  much  she  hath  glorified  herself, 
and  lived  deliciously,  so  much  torment 
and  sorrow  give  her :  for  she  saith  in  her 
heart,  I  sit  a  queen,  and  am  no  widow, 
and  shall  see  no  sorrow. 

8  Therefore  shall  her  plagues  come 
in  one  day,  death,  and  mourning,  and 
famine;  and  she  shall  be  utterly  burned 
with  fire :  for  strong  is  the  Lord  God 
who  judgeth  her. 

9  And  the  kings  of  the  earth,  who  have 
committed  fornication  and  lived  deli- 
ciously with   her,   shall   bewail   her,   and 


pies,  and  multitudes,  and  nations, 
and  tongues.  16  And  the  ten  horns 
which  thou  sawest,  and  the  beast, 
these  shall  hate  the  harlot,  and 
shall  make  her  desolate  and  naked, 
and  shall  eat  her  flesh,  and  shall 
burn  her  utterly  with  fire.  17  For 
God  did  put  in  their  hearts  to  do 
his  mind,  and  to  come  to  one  mind, 
and  to  give  their  kingdom  unto  the 
beast,  until  the  words  of  God 
should  be  accomplished.  18  And 
the  woman  whom  thou  sawest  is  the 
great  city,  which  reigneth  over  the 
kings  of  the  earth. 


rt  A  FTER  these  things  I  saw 
•'Oxl.  another  angel  coming 
down  out  of  heaven,  having  great 
authority;  and  the  earth  was 
lightened  with  his  glory.  2  And  he 
cried  with  a  mighty  voice,  saying. 
Fallen,  fallen  is  Babylon  the  great, 
and  is  become  a  habitation  of 
devils,  and  a  hold  of  every  un- 
clean spirit,  and  a  hold  of  every 
unclean  and  hateful  bird.  3  For 
by  the  wine  of  the  wrath  of  her 
fornication  all  the  nations  are 
fallen;  and  the  kings  of  the  earth 
committed  fornication  with  her, 
and  the  merchants  of  the  earth 
waxed  rich  by  the  power  of  her 
wantonness. 

4  And  I  heard  another  voice  from 
heaven,  saying,  Come  forth,  my 
people,  out  of  her,  that  ye  have  no 
fellowship  with  her  sins,  and  that 
ye  receive  not  of  her  plagues :  5  for 
her  sins  have  reached  even  unto 
heaven,  and  God  hath  remembered 
her  iniquities.  6  Render  unto  her 
even  as  she  rendered,  and  double 
unto  her  the  double  according  to 
her  works :  in  the  cup  which  she 
mingled,  mingle  unto  her  double. 
7  How  much  soever  she  glorified 
herself,  and  waxed  wanton,  so 
much  give  her  of  torment  and 
mourning:  for  she  saith  in  her 
heart,  I  sit  a  queen,  and  am  no 
widow,  and  shall  in  no  wise  see 
mourning.  8  Therefore  in  one  day 
shall  her  plagues  come,  death,  and 
mourning,  and  famine;  and  she 
shall  be  utterly  burned  with  fire; 
for  strong  is  the  Lord  God  which 
judged  her,     9  And  the  kings  of

which  thou  sawest,  and  the  beast, 
these  shall  hate  the  harlot,  and  shall 
make  her  desolate  and  naked,  and 
shall  eat  her  flesh,  and  shall  burn 
her  utterly  with  fire.  17  For  God 
did  put  in  their  hearts  to  do  his 
mind,  and  to  come  to  one  mind,  and 
to  give  their  kingdom  unto  the 
beast,  until  the  words  of  God  should 
be  accomplished.  18  And  the  wo- 
man whom  thou  sawest  is  the 
great  city,  which  reigneth  over  the 
kings  of  the  earth. 

T«  A  F'^^^  t^^^^  things  I  saw 
IoxjL  another  angel  coming  down 
out  of  heaven,  having  great  au- 
thority; and  the  earth  was  light- 
ened with  his  glory.  2  And  he  cried 
with  a  mighty  voice,  saying.  Fallen, 
fallen  is  Babylon  the  great,  and 
is  become  a  habitation  of  demons, 
and  a  hold  of  every  unclean  spirit, 
and  a  hold  of  every  unclean  and 
hateful  bird.  3  For  by  the  wine 
of  the  wrath  of  her  fornication  all 
the  nations  are  fallen;  and  the 
kings  of  the  earth  committed  for- 
nication with  her,  and  the  mer- 
chants of  the  earth  waxed  rich  by 
the  power  of   her   wantonness. 

4  And  I  heard  another  voice 
from  heaven,  saying,  Come  forth, 
my  people,  out  of  her,  that  ye  have 
no  fellowship  with  her  sins,  and 
that  ye  receive  not  of  her  plagues: 
5  for  her  sins  have  reached  even

membered her  iniquities.  6  Render

for  strong  is  the  Lord  God  who 
judged  her.  9  And  the  kings  of  the 
earth,    who   committed    fornication 


17  For  God  hath  given  into  their  hearts 
to  do  that  which  pleaseth  him :  that 
they  give  their  kingdom  to  the  beast,  till 
the  words  of  God  be  fulfilled. 

18  And  the  woman  which  thou  sawest, 
is  the  great  city,  which  hath  kingdom 
over  the  kings  of  the  earth. 


CHAPTER  18. 

AND  after  these  things,  I  saw  another 
angel  come  down  from  heaven,  hav- 
ing great  power:  and  the  earth  was  en- 
lightened with  his  glory. 

2  And  he  cried  out  with  a  strong  voice, 
saying:  Babylon  the  great  is  fallen,  is 
fallen;  and  is  become  the  habitation  of 
devils,  and  the  hold  of  every  unclean 
spirit,  and  the  hold  of  every  unclean  and 
hateful  bird: 

3  Because  all  nations  have  drunk  of  the 
wine  of  the  wrath  of  her  fornication; 
and  the  kings  of  the  earth  have  com- 
mitted fornication  with  her ;  and  the 
merchants  of  the  earth  have  been  made 
rich  by  the  power  of  her  delicacies. 

4  And  I  heard  another  voice  from  hea- 
ven, saying:  Go  out  from  her,  my  peo- 
ple; that  you  be  not  partakers  of  her 
sins,  and  that  you  receive  not  of  her 
plagues. 

5  For  her  sins  have  reached  unto  hea- 
ven, and  the  Lord  hath  remembered  her 
iniquities. 

6  Render  to  her  as  she  also  hath  ren- 
dered to  you ;  and  double  unto  her  dou- 
ble according  to  her  works:  in  the  cup 
wherein  she  hath  mingled,  mingle  ye 
double  unto  her. 

7  As  much  as  she  hath  glorified  herself, 
and  lived  in  delicacies,  so  much  torment 
and  sorrow  give  ye  to  her ;  because  she 
saith  in  her  heart:  I  sit  a  queen,  and

14  And  the  fruits  that  thy  soul  lusted 
after  are  departed  from  thee,  and  all 
things  which  were  dainty  and  goodly  are 
departed  from  thee,  and  thou  shalt  find 
them  no  more  at  all. 

15  The  merchants  of  these  things,  which 
were  made  rich  by  her,  shall  stand  afar

purple,  and  scarlet,  and  decked  with  gold,

unto  this  great  city! 

19  And  they  cast  dust  on  their  heads, 
and  cried,  weeping  and  wailing,  saying, 
Alas,  alas  that  great  city,  wherein  were

great  city  Babylon  be  thrown  down,  and

22  And  the  voice  of  harpers,  and  musi-

21    And    a    strong    angel    took 


cacies  with  her,  shall  weep,  and  bewail 
themselves  over  her,  when  they  shall  see 
the  smoke  of  her  burning : 

10  Standing  afar  off  for  fear  of  her  tor- 
ments, saying :  Alas !  alas  !  that  great  city 
Babylon,  that  mighty  city :  for  in  one 
hour  is  thy  judgment  come. 

11  And  the  merchants  of  the  earth  shall 
weep,  and  mourn  over  her:  for  no  man 
shall  buy  their  merchandise  any  more. 

12  Merchandise  of  gold  and  silver,  and 
precious  stones;  and  of  pearls,  and  fine 
linen,  and  purple,  and  silk,  and  scarlet, 
and  all  thyine  wood,  and  all  manner  of 
vessels  of  ivory,  and  all  manner  of  vessels 
of  precious  stone,  and  of  brass,  and  of 
iron,  and  of  marble, 

13  And  cinnamon,  and  odours,  and  oint- 
ment, and  frankincense,  and  wine,  and 
oil,  and  fine  flour,  and  wheat,  and  beasts, 
and  sheep,  and  horses,  and  chariots,  and 
slaves,  and  souls  of  men. 

14  And  the  fruits  of  the  desire  of  thy 
soul  are  departed  from  thee,  and  all  fat 
and  goodly  things  are  perished  from  thee, 
and  they  shall  find  them  no  more  at  all. 

15  The  merchants  of  these  things,  who 
were  made  rich,  shall  stand  afar  off  from 
her,  for  fear  of  her  torments,  weeping 
and  mourning, 

16  And  saying:  Alas!  aJas !  that  great 
city,  which  was  clothed  with  fine  linen, 
and  purple,  and  scarlet,  and  was  gilt  with 
gold,  and  precious  stones,  and  pearls. 

17  For  in  one  hour  are  so  great  riches 
come  to  nought;  and  every  shipmaster, 
and  all  that  sail  into  the  lake,  and  mari- 
ners, and  as  many  as  work  in  the  sea, 
stood  afar  off, 

18  And  cried,  seeing  the  place  of  her 
burning,  saying:  What  city  is  like  to  this 
great  city? 

19  And  they  cast  dust  upon  their  heads, 
and  cried,  weeping  and  mourning,  say- 
ing: Alas!  alas!  that  great  city,  wherein 
all  were  made  rich,  that  had  ships  at  sea, 
by  reason  of  her  prices :  for  in  one  hour 
she  is  made  desolate. 

20  Rejoice  over  her,  thou  heaven,  and 
ye  holy  apostles  and  prophets ;  for  God 
hath  judged  your  judgment  on  her. 

21  And  a  mighty  angel  took  up  a  stone, 
as  it  were  a  great  millstone,  and  cast  it 
into  the  sea,  saying:  With  such  violence 
as  this  shall  Babylon,  that  great  city,  be 
thrown  down,  and  shall  be  found  no 
more  at  all. 

22  And  the  voice  of  harpers,  and  of 
musicians,  and  of  them  that  play  on  the

craftsman,  of  whatsoever  craft  he  be, 
shall  be  found  any  more  in  thee;  and 
the  sound  of  a  millstone  shall  be  heard 
no  more  at  all  in  thee; 

23  And  the  light  of  a  candle  shall 
shine  no  more  at  all  in  thee ;  and  the 
voice  of  the  bridegroom  and  of  the  bride 
shall  be  heard  no  more  at  all  in  thee :  for 
thy  merchants  were  the  great  men  of  the 
earth;  for  by  thy  sorceries  were  all  na- 
tions deceived. 

24  And  in  her  was  found  the  blood 
of  prophets,  and  of  saints,  and  of  all  that 
were  slain  upon  the  earth. 


CHAPTER  19. 

AND  after  these  things  I  heard  a  great 
voice  of  much  people  in  heaven,  say- 
ing, Alleluia;  Salvation,  and  glory,  and 
honour,  and  power,  unto  the  Lord  our 
God: 

2  For  true  and  righteous  are  his  judg- 
ments:  for  he  hath  judged  the  great 
whore,  which  did  corrupt  the  earth  with 
her  fornication,  and  hath  avenged  the 
blood  of  his  servants  at  her  hand. 

3  And  again  they  said,  Alleluia.  And 
her  smoke  rose  up  for  ever  and  ever. 

4  And  the  four  and  twenty  elders  and 
the  four  beasts  fell  down  and  worshipped 
God  that  sat  on  the  throne,  saying.  Amen ; 
Alleluia. 

5  And  a  voice  came  out  of  the  throne, 
saying,  Praise  our  God,  all  ye  his  servants, 
and  ye  that  fear  him,  both  small  and 
great. 

6  And  I  heard  as  it  were  the  voice  of  a 
great  multitude,  and  as  the  voice  of 
many  waters,  and  as  the  voice  of  mighty 
thunderings,  saying,  Alleluia:  for  the 
Lord  God  omnipotent  reigneth. 

7  Let  us  be  glad  and  rejoice,  and  give 
honour  to  him;  for  the  marriage  of  the 
Lamb  is  come,  and  his  wife  hath  made 
herself  ready. 

8  And  to  her  was  granted  that  she 
should  be  arrayed  in  fine  linen,  clean  and 
white :  for  the  fine  linen  is  the  righteous- 
ness of  saints. 


21  And  a  strong  angel  took  up 
a  stone  as  it  were  a  great  millstone, 
and  cast  it  into  the  sea,  saying, 
Thus  with  a  mighty  fall  shall 
Babylon,  the  great  city,  be  cast 
down,  and  shall  be  found  no  more 
at  all.  22  And  the  voice  of  harpers 
and  minstrels  and  flute-players  and 
trumpeters  shall  be  heard  no  more 
at  all  in  thee ;  and  no  craftsman, 
of  whatsoever  craft,  shall  be  found 
any  more  at  all  in  thee;  and  the 
voice  of  a  millstone  shall  be  heard 
no  more  at  all  in  thee;  23  and  the 
light  of  a  lamp  shall  shine  no  more 
at  all  in  thee;  and  the  voice  of 
the  bridegroom  and  of  the  bride 
shall  be  heard  no  more  at  all  in 
thee :  for  thy  merchants  were  the 
princes  of  the  earth;  for  with  thy 
sorcery  were  all  the  nations  de- 
ceived. 24  And  in  her  was  found 
the  blood  of  prophets  and  of  saints, 
and  of  all  that  have  been  slain  upon 
the  earth.

servants  at  her  hand.  3  And  a  sec-

her  smoke  goeth  up  for  ever  and

elders  and  the  four  living  crea- 
tures fell  down  and  worshipped  God

Amen;  Hallelujah.  5  And  a  voice 
came  forth  from  the  throne,  saying, 
Give  praise  to  our  God,  all  ye  his 
servants,  ye  that  fear  him,  the  small 
and  the  great.  6  And  I  heard  as  it 
were  the  voice  of  a  great  multi-

thunders,  saying,  Hallelujah :  for 
the  Lord  our  God,  the  Almighty,

exceeding  glad,  and  let  us  give  the 
glory  unto  him :  for  the  marriage 
of  the  Lamb  is  come,  and  his  wife 
hath  made  herself  ready.  8  And

3    And    a    second    time    they    say. 
Hallelujah.     And  her  smoke  goeth 
up  for  ever  and  ever.     4  And  the 
four  and  twenty  elders  and  the  four 
living  creatures  fell  down  and  wor-

throne,   saying,   Amen;   Hallelujah. 

5  And  a  voice  came  forth  from  the 
throne,  saying.

corrupted  the  earth  with  her  fornication, 
and  hath  revenged  the  blood  of  his  ser-

3  And  again  they  said:  Alleluia.  And 
her  smoke  ascendeth  for  ever  and  ever. 

4  And  the  four  and  twenty  ancients,

9  And  he  saith  unto  me,  Write,  Blessed 
are  they  which  are  called  unto  the  mar- 
riage supper  of  the  Lamb.  And  he  saith 
unto  me,  These  are  the  true  sayings  of 
God. 

ID  And  I  fell  at  his  feet  to  worship 
him.  And  he  said  unto  me,  See  thou  do  it 
not:  I  am  thy  fellowservant,  and  of  thy 
brethren  that  have  the  testimony  of  Je- 
sus :  worship  God :  for  the  testimony  of 
Jesus  is  the  spirit  of  prophecy. 

11  And  I  saw  heaven  opened,  and  be- 
hold a  white  horse;  and  he  that  sat  upon 
him  was  called  Faithful  and  True,  and 
in  righteousness  he  doth  judge  and  make 
war. 

12  His  eyes  were  as  a  flame  of  fire, 
and  on  his  head  were  many  crowns;  and 
he  had  a  name  written,  that  no  man  knew, 
but  he  himself. 

13  And  he  was  clothed  with  a  vesture 
dipped  in  blood:  and  his  name  is  called 
The  Word  of  God. 

14  And  the  armies  which  were  in 
heaven  followed  him  upon  white  horses, 
clothed  in  fine  linen,  white  and  clean. 

15  And  out  of  his  mouth  goeth  a  sharp 
sword,  that  with  it  he  should  smite  the 
nations:  and  he  shall  rule  them  with  a 
rod  of  iron :  and  he  treadeth  the  wine- 
press of  the  fierceness  and  wrath  of  Al- 
mighty God. 

16  And  he  hath  on  his  vesture  and  on 
his  thigh  a  name  written,  KING  OF 
KINGS,  AND  LORD  OF  LORDS. 

17  And  I  saw  an  angel  standing  in 
the  sun;  and  he  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
saying  to  all  the  fowls  that  fly  in  the 
midst  of  heaven.  Come  and  gather  your- 
selves together  unto  the  supper  of  the 
great  God; 

18  That  ye  may  eat  the  flesh  of  kings, 
and  the  flesh  of  captains,  and  the  flesh 
of  mighty  men,  and  the  flesh  of  horses, 
and  of  them  that  sit  on  them,  and  the 
flesh  of  all  men,  both  free  and  bond,  both 
small  and  great. 

19  And  I  saw  the  beast,  and  the  kings 
of  the  earth,  and  their  armies,  gathered 
together  to  make  war  against  him  that 
sat  on  the  horse,  and  against  his  army. 

20  And  the  beast  was  taken,  and  with 
him  the  false  prophet  that  wrought 
miracles  before  him,  with  which  he  de- 
ceived them  that  had  received  the  mark 
of  the  beast,  and  them  that  worshipped 
his  image.  These  both  were  cast  alive 
into  a  lake  of  fire  burning  with  brim- 
stone.

Blessed  are  they  which  are  bidden

And  he  saith  unto  me,  These  are 
true  words  of  God.  10  And  I  fell 
down  before  his  feet  to  worship 
him.  And  he  saith  unto  me,  See 
thou  do  it  not:  I  am  a  fellow-serv- 
ant with  thee  and  with  thy  'breth- 
ren that  hold  the  testimony  of 
Jesus:  worship  God:  for  the  testi- 
mony of  Jesus  is  the  spirit  of 
prophecy. 

II  And  I  saw  the  heaven  opened;

his  eyes  are  a  flame  of  fire,  and 
upon  his  head  are  many  diadems ; 
and  he  hath  a  name  written,  which 
no  one  knoweth  but  he  himself. 
13  And  he  is  arrayed  in  a  garment 
sprinkled  with  blood :  and  his  name 
is  called  The  Word  of  God.  14  And 
the  armies  which  are  in  heaven 
followed  him  upon  white  horses, 
clothed  in  fine  linen,  white  and 
pure.  15  And  out  of  his  mouth 
proceedeth  a  sharp  sword,  that 
with  it  he  should  smite  the  nations : 
and  he  shall  rule  them  with  a  rod 
of  iron :  and  he  treadeth  the  wine- 
press of  the  fierceness  of  the  wrath 
of  Almighty  God.  16  And  he  hath 
on  his  garment  and  on  his  thigh  a 
name  written,  king  of  kings,  and

17  And  I  saw  an  angel  standing 
in  the  sun;  and  he  cried  with  a 
loud  voice,  saying  to  all  the  birds 
that  fly  in  mid  heaven,  Come  and

And  he  is  arrayed  in  a  garment

14  And  the  armies  which  are  in

12  And  his  eyes  were  as  a  flame  of  fire, 
and  on  his  head  were  many  diadems,  and 
he  had  a  name  written,  which  no  man 
knoweth  but  himself. 

13  And  he  was  clothed  with  a  garment 
sprinkled  with  blood;  and  his  name  is 
called,  The  Word  of  God. 

14  And  the  armies  that  are  in  heaven 
followed  him  on  white  horses,  clothed 
in  fine  linen,  white  and  clean. 

15  And  out  of  his  mouth  proceedeth  a 
sharp  two  edged  sword;  that  with  it  he 
may  strike  the  nations.  And  he  shall 
rule  them  with  a  rod  of  iron;  and  he 
treadeth  the  winepress  of  the  fierceness 
of  the  wrath  of  God  the  Almighty. 

16  And  he  hath  on  his  garment,  and  on 
his  thigh  written:  King  of  Kings,  and 
Lord  of  Lords. 

17  And  I  saw  an  angel  standing  in  the 
sun,  and  he  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  say- 
ing to  all  the  birds  that  did  fly  through 
the  midst  of  heaven :  Come,  gather  your- 
selves together  to  the  great  supper  of 
God: 

18  That  you  may  eat  the  flesh  of  kings, 
and  the  flesh  of  tribunes,  and  the  flesh  of 
mighty  men,  and  the  flesh  of  horses,  and 
of  them  that  sit  on  them,  and  the  flesh 
of  all  freemen  and  bondmen,  and  of  little 
and  of  great. 

19  And  I  saw  the  beast,  and  the  kings 
of  the  earth,  and  their  armies  gathered 
together  to  make  war  with  him  that  sat 
upon  the  horse,  and  with  his  army. 

20  And  the  beast  was  taken,  and  with 
him  the  false  prophet,  who  wrought 
signs  before  him,  wherewith  he  seduced 
them  who  received  the  character  of  the 
beast,  and  who  adored  his  image.  These 
two  were  cast  alive  into  the  pool  of  fire, 
burning  with  brimstone. 

21  And  the  rest  were  slain  by  the  sword 
of  him  that  sitteth  upon  the  horse,  which

2  And  he  laid  hold  on  the  dragon,  that

image,  neither  had  received  his  mark

thee  the  bride,  the  Lamb's  wife. 

10  And  he  carried  me  away  in  the 
spirit  to  a  great  and  high  mountain,  and 
shewed  me  that  great  city,  the  holy  Jeru- 
salem, descending  out  of  heaven  from 
God, 

11  Having  the  glory  of  God:  and  her 
light  was  like  unto  a  stone  most  precious, 
even  like  a  jasper  stone,  clear  as  crystal; 

12  And  had  a  wall  great  and  high,  and 
had  twelve  gates,  and  at  the  gates  twelve 
angels,  and  names  written  thereon,  which 
are  the  names  of  the  twelve  tribes  of  the 
children  of  Israel : 

13  On  the  east  three  gates;  on  the 
north  three  gates;  on  the  south  three 
gates;  and  on  the  west  three  gates. 

14  And  the  wall  of  the  city  had  twelve 
foundations,  and  in  them  the  names  of 
the  twelve  apostles  of  the  Lamb. 

15  And  he  that  talked  with  me  had  a 
golden  reed  to  measure  the  city,  and  the 
gates  thereof,  and  the  wall  thereof. 

16  And  the  city  lieth  foursquare,  and 
the  length  is  as  large  as  the  breadth :  and 
he  measured  the  city  with  the  reed,  twelve 
thousand  furlongs.  The  length  and  the 
breadth  and  the  height  of  it  are  equal. 

17  And  he  measured  the  wall  thereof, 
an  hundred  and  forty  and  four  cubits,  ac- 
cording to  the  measure  of  a  man,  that  is, 
of  the  angel. 

18  And  the  building  of  the  wall  of  it 
was  of  jasper :  and  the  city  was  pure  gold, 
like  unto  clear  glass.

that  sitteth  on  the  throne  said,  Be- 
hold, I  make  all  things  new.  And 
he  saith.  Write :  for  these  words 
are  faithful  and  true.  6  And  he 
said  unto  me.  They  are  come  to

last  plagues,  and  spoke  with  me,  saying: 
Come,  and  I  will  shew  thee  the  bride,  the

shew  unto  his  servants  the  things  which 
must  shortly  be  done. 

7  Behold,  I  come  quickly :  blessed  is  he 
that  keepeth  the  sayings  of  the  prophecy

8  And  1  John  saw  these  things,  and 
heard  them.  And  when  I  had  heard  and 
seen,  I  fell  down  to  worship  before  the 
feet  of  the  angel  which  shewed  me  these 
things. 

9  Then  saith  he  unto  me,  See  thou  do 
it  not:  for  I  am  thy  fellowservant,  and 
of  thy  brethren  the  prophets,  and  of  them 
which  keep  the  sayings  of  this  book : 
worship  God. 

10  And  he  saith  unto  me,  Seal  not  the 
sayings  of  the  prophecy  of  this  book: 
for  the  time  is  at  hand. 

11  He  that  is  unjust,  let  him  be  un- 
just still:  and  he  which  is  filthy,  let  him 
be  filthy  still :  and  he  that  is  righteous, 
let  him  be  righteous  still:  and  he  that  is 
holy,  let  him  be  holy  still.

ning and  the  end,  the  first  and  the  last. 

14  Blessed  are  they  that  do  his  com- 
mandments, that  they  may  have  right  to 
the  tree  of  life,  and  may  enter  in  through 
the  gates  into  the  city. 

15  For  without  are  dogs,  and  sorcerers, 
and  whoremongers,  and  murderers,  and 
idolaters,  and  whosoever  loveth  and  mak- 
eth  a  lie. 

16  I  Jesus  have  sent  mine  angel  to 
testify  unto  you  these  things  in  the 
churches.  I  am  the  root  and  the  off- 
spring of  David,  and  the  bright  and  morn- 
ing star. 

17  And  the  Spirit  and  the  bride  say. 
Come.  And  let  him  that  heareth  say. 
Come.  And  let  him  that  is  athirst  come. 
And  whosoever  will,  let  him  take  the 
water  of  life  freely. 

18  For  I  testify  unto  every  man  that 


shall  be  therein :  and  his  servants 
shall  do  him  service;  4  and  they 
shall  see  his  face ;  and  his  name 
shall  be  on  their  foreheads.  5  And 
there  shall  be  night  no  more ;  and 
they  need  no  light  of  lamp,  nei- 
ther light  of  sun ;  for  the  Lord 
God  shall  give  them  light:  and 
they  shall  reign  for  ever  and  ever. 

6  And  he  said  unto  me.  These 
words  are  faithful  and  true:  and 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  the  spirits  of 
the  prophets,  sent  his  angel  to 
shew  unto  his  servants  the  things 
which  must  shortly  come  to  pass. 
7  And  behold,  I  come  quickly. 
Blessed  is  he  that  keepeth  the 
words  of  the  prophecy  of  this  book. 

8  And  I  John  am  he  that  heard 
and  saw  these  things.  And  when 
I  heard  and  saw,  I  fell  down  to 
worship  before  the  feet  of  the  angel 
which  shewed  *me  these  things. 
9  And  he  saith  unto  me,  See  thou 
do  it  not :  I  am  a  fellow-servant 
with  thee  and  with  thy  brethren 
the  prophets,  and  with  them  which 
keep  the  words  of  this  book :  wor- 
ship God. 

10  And  he  saith  unto  me.  Seal 
not  up  the  words  of  the  prophecy 
of  this  book ;  for  the  time  is  at 
hand.  11  He  that  is  unrighteous, 
let  him  do  unrighteousness  still : 
and  he  that  is  filthy,  let  him  be 
made  filthy  still :  and  he  that  is 
righteous,  let  him  do  righteousness 
still :  and  he  that  is  holy,  let  him 
be  made  holy  still.  12  Behold,  I 
come  quickly;  and  my  reward  is 
with  me,  to  render  to  each  man  ac- 
cording as  his  work  is.  13  I  am 
the  Alpha  and  the  Omega,  the 
first  and  the  last,  the  beginning 
and  the  end.  14  Blessed  are  they 
that  wash  their  robes,  that  they 
may  have  the  right  to  come  to  the 
tree  of  life,  and  may  enter  in  by 
the  gates  into  the  city.  15  With- 
out are  the  dogs,  and  the  sor- 
cerers, and  the  fornicators,  and  the 
murderers,  and  the  idolaters,  and 
every  one  that  loveth  and  maketh 
a  lie.

6  And  he  said  to  me :  These  words  are

11  He  that  hurteth,  let  him  hurt  still:
